B. Gibson .. Jock S. Pace Karl I siiks Editor-Publisher Manager , Newt Editor WHO REALLY BENEFITTED? Sloppy banking methods by City Managers and City Fathers of Provo have cost the taxpayers $161,376 over the past ten years. This startling and sobering state of affairs has been revealed by J. Kent Marlor and Mark Nelson, special spec-ial auditors, who have been looking over the city records. According to the two accountants, the sizeable loss has occurred due to the failure to deposit city funds in bank accounts ac-counts that draw interest. Instead funds were deposited in non-interest bearing demand accounts in three Provo banks. Professor Garth L. Mangum, of the economics department of BYU said that the Provo proceedure resulted in "windfall gains" to the bankers involved. Perhaps there was never a more truthful slogan than "Easy come, easy go." When city fathers need only to hike tax levys in order to secure more spending money, there seems to be a growing tendency toward laxity in municipal fiscal affairs. The attitude of "The public be damned," is not dead by any means. Of course, in a way, the bankers themselves cannot be too severely censured because of the Provo money debacle. If the city officials were "dumb" enough to hand them the $161,376 they evidently were "smart". enough to accept it. It's small wonder that the Provo City fathers were so "hell bent" on imposing the half-cent sales tax in Utah county, since they get the lion's share.of it. Any municipality, carelessVnough to throw away 160 grand in 10 years, must need tax revenue urgently. The question is, however, "should Utah County people, who shop ir. Provo, be forced to help make up the loss?" All who actually benefited by the financial bungling in Provo will perhaps never be known. There's no doubt regarding re-garding the losers. It was the taxpayers, as usual. VIKING VIGNETTES Army 'Reserve 1$ Now Accepting Enlistments 17-22 Major Dve E. Butcher.

In spite of all of the bombs set off in the hurt few month, the chance that there still Isn't enough radioactive fallout in the United States to constitute a health problem. Thl no one knows for ure. but a majority of the men who know most about the problem have said many time , that they don'f think we need to start worrying yet. Whether you are in favor of fallout shelters or not, we can't Just retreat to a shelter this winter.

The American Medical Association Assoc-iation recently conducted a survey sur-vey of seven of the top hazards in the nation. All seven agreed that fallout was not a hearth -hazard.
