LeeFarnsworth, trie Majority Whip ;of the Utah House o Representatives, filed for the U.S. House of Represen- tatives in the Third District of Utah on April 20. The district includes part of Salt Lake County, and all of Utah, Sanpete, Sevier, Carbon, Emery, Grand4 San Juan, Dagget, Uintah, Duchesne, Summit, and Wasatch Counties. ! Representative Farnsworth issued a: statement on the key elements of his campaign and announced the key workers in his organization. "The number of candidates filing for this office has made it difficult for state delegates and citizens to make a choice. I know all of the candidates personally and know each .to be a person of honor and integrity. Each reflects the values of the people of this state and of the Republican Party. Each has. something unique and important im-portant to contribute to the office of Congressman. "The Democratic Party has united behind a single and very qualified candidate. The Republican Party must do likewise or it just might lose this seat and fail to give President Reagan the support he needs in these crucial times. "My message is that I am a candidate can-didate because I believe I have the experience to make the difference both in defeating the Democratic candidate and in giving President Reagan the strong support he needs to continue his program over strong opposition. The following key facts are evidence of this assertion and should be carefully considered with the statements of all candidates. "Lee Farnsworth is the only candidate currently holding elected public office and the only one to have served at both the state and local levels. "Lee Farnsworth is the only candidate to have served (in 1981) as both a foreign and domestic policy consultant to a Committee of Congress. "Lee Farnsworth is the only candidate to have professionally studied, taught, and authored books and articles on local, national, and international political problems. His special expertise in Japanese language and close acquaintance with leaders of Japan, Korea and Taiwan could well lead to expansion of the sale of Utah coal to those countries. "In addition, Lee Farnsworth has been one of the candidates giving long service to the Republican Party, particularly as Utah County Chairman for Jim Hansen for Congress."

The Utah Arts Council, a state agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development, today announced its annual grant awards for fiscal year 19H2 - 1983. The Council awarded funds totaling $830,900 to 59 arts organizations throughout Utah. The awards were made under the Utah Arts Council's annual grants program. This program awards funds in discipline areas for projects which impact individual communities or the entire state. All grants must b( matched by the grantet on a combination cash and in-kind basis. In discussing the grants awards JoAnn Freed, Chair of the Utah Arts Council commented: "The grants awarded to a variety of Utah arts organizations represent 52 percent of the Council's budget. That's serious business, and in my opinion the Board of Directors, the committees com-mittees and panel members once again exercised excellent judgment and served the state of Utah well. Even though the Legislature was faced with a tight budget for fiscal year '83, they wisely allocated a modest increase in the arts budget making it possible to extend financial and technical assistance and support to the arts in Utah. With those and federal dollars the Council has been able to continue funding our long - standing treasures as well as to assist some of the emerging and diverse groups seeking an audience in Utah's rich cultural scene." The total of $836,900 was awarded in the following discipline areas: Dance Arts, $178,100; Literary Arts, $19,900; Music Arts, $219,000; Special Projects, $70,500; Theatre Arts, $144,400; Visual Arts- Architecture - Environmental Arts and Design, $105,000; and the Utah Arts Festival, $30,000.
