Stouffer's donations being used to upgrade Museum facilities The Springville Museum of Art recently received a $3,500 grant from Stouffer's Foods, Inc. This is the third year Stouffer's Foods has given grants to the museum for a total amount of $10,500. These funds have been allocated for enhancing the interior of the museum. This assistance has made possible the upgrading of lighting in several galleries, raising two doorway entrances into main floor galleries and various other museum repairs. This year the museum will use the monies to upgrade the museum's lighting and window problems and to continue refurbishing re-furbishing the Step-down Gallery Gal-lery on the main floor. Plans call for installation of a smaller, more efficient heater, gallery cloth and fresh paint on the walls. Also, the old acoustical tile on the drop ceiling of the lower West Clyde Gallery might be removed and new tile will be installed on the original ceiling, along with repair and upgrading oflights. "The museum is deeply grateful to Stouffer's Foods and manager Jay Weaver," says Vern G. Swanson, Museum Director. "These grants permit us to make major improvements to this fine old building that would not otherwise other-wise be possible." Denmark is said to have used the same national flag--a white cross on a red back-ground-for more than 750 years. The world's first commercial jet airliner was the Comet I. It was introduced in 1952. by Lot's Wife I think it's appropriate that on Mother's Day we talk about budgets.' For one, if there were no children and no mothers, there would be no one to blame family poverty on. There is a generally accepted myth that mommies live on all the money the family spends. I'm not talking eating, medical care or car repairs here. I'm talking about the idea that mommies spend the entire family hoard on clothes, ski equipment, tango lessons, and lunches at Mulboons. Today, for example, in Scouts, we were discussing allowances. Our kids get a monthly allowance of a dollar for every year old they are. "So our eight-year-old gets eight dollars a monthin case math isn't your thing. So my special little Scout forwards the stunning information infor-mation that mom gets all the rest! He is under the illusion that I spend all the rest besides his monthly, allowance on whatever I want. This I've found is a widely held viewpoint in families. What we do in our family to dispel this myth is divide up the bills so that no one forgets that spending money is inevitable. in-evitable. Otherwise, I've noticed that husbands or wives, if they don't pay bills--tend to forget that clever budgeting does not outwit Mountain Fuel or Springville City or Mountain Bell. Another big step in our family togetherness has been reading a book called "Rich On Any Income" by James P. Christensen and Clint Combs with George D. Durrani. Actually, I didn't read much more than the central point of this book, which took about two minutes. But it's helped me so much that I feel that perhaps I can recoup the loss of the purchase price by sharing shar-ing the information with you. .

State Provo, Utah Just 2 blocks south of Provo Cemetery i i The idea that I got from the book is that first off, people often don't realize how much it actually lakes them to live. My girlfriend in Idaho who also bought this book found after years of struggling with her finances, when she actually added up what it took them to live, she has about $16 a month to fling around on clothing, doctor bills and per-manents. per-manents. Considering that her husband has a doctorate and is a nationally recognized expert in his field, she naturally thought she was worth a little more. So, we added up what we spend on our groceries, gas for the car, school lunch, piano lessons, haircuts every six weeks, the black hole that's our ZCMI charge, and lo and behold! Mom doesn't spend it all on exotic delights to wile away those lonely hours when everyone else is in school or at work. Next, he suggests that you totally ignore your checkbook. Now I write everything down in my little black book and ignore what my bank balance says. For example, if I have $100 a week for groceries, I write that down in my book. Then when I spend $25 I subtract it from the $100. That same with my gas money and my miscellaneous. mis-cellaneous. Everything else is divided by four and left to accumulate in the checkbook until the end of the month. That way I know that the $8.50 I get every week for school lunch comes to the $34 I need at the end of the month, the same goes for lessons, oil changes, 'and prescriptions that we regularly get. At the end of the mont I know it's there. Sometimes, I actually have extra money. When I do I usually blow it. I'm not that far along. I'm not that depressed yet, either. All and all, its been a terrific ter-rific system. My husband and I have had separate checkbooks for several years since we have vastly differing views on financial management. He doesn't write a check until the deposit has had two days to clear the bank. I'm of the school that says we're good people and God will take care of us if we go ahead and plan on getting our check in the mail on time. I figure a check takes a few days to go through the Federal Reserve system, so we might as well make use of the time. Needless to say, I have more problems than he does. This budget system has helped us both. I used to think, if you're walking on water, don't make a whole bunch of waves trying to see how you're doing at it. Having it all written down in black and while lets me know how I'm doing it and how long I can continue. And it gets everybody off my back about where the big bucks are. . Maybe they'll give me a geranium to thank me this Sunday. Legion and Auxiliary to moot tonight The American Legion and Auxiliary will meet tonight for their annual Music and Guest Night in the Senior Citizen Center at 7 p.m. All members are cordially invited to bring guests and enjoy a special musical program.
