She was given a name and a blessing by her grandfather, George Alma Varney, on the 2nd of October that same year. She was a quiet, demure little lass, who spent nearly all of her time with her mother. She loved her dolls, and took good care of them, and as she grew a little older she delighted de-lighted in assisting her mother with simple household tasks. She was more quiet and shy than other children, chil-dren, and seldom joined them in their boisterously active games, but she loved to sit and watch them. She spent many happy hours visiting visit-ing her grandparents in company with her mother. She grew in mind and body, and entered school at the age of six, and when she learned to read, she became very fond of books and spent many happy hours reading- When she was about seven years old her mother died, leaving behind her a lonely little girl, who turned to her daddy with all the love and devotion de-votion her heart could hold, and her four grandparents became doubly dear. SI and her father lived with her grandfather and grandmother, and they helped to give her a sense of responsibility and household tasks became a joy to her.

In 1937 she enrolled In the Junior Genealogy class in the Second ward. She did excellent work, taking great time and patience in keeping up her records, and in hunting information to add to her book. During the first year the girls were required to keep a diary of the Interesting things that happened to them for one . week.

Inspector Visits Local Postoff ice If American Fork residents receiving re-ceiving city postal delivery service do not refrain from asking for mall at the ptbfficer trie city delivery may be taken away, the postal inspector in-spector warned Wednesday, upon his visit to the local .postoffice. There must be no more calling for carriers' mall at the window, if American Fork is to keep the city delivery, the inspector said. The local postofflce received a high rating from the inspector. Based on the general condition of the postofflce, the rating was 90.4 per cent. A proposed budget of $390,085 for the fiscal year 1940-41 will be presented pre-sented by the board of education of the Alpine school district, at a public hearing Monday night at 7:30 o'clock, at the school office here. The proposed budget la more than $11,000 under the budget for the current year. 1939-40, which contemplated con-templated expenditures of $401,600. By economies In several depart ments and underexpendltures in others, the budget for the current year was underexpended, the actual expenditures being $397,830.89. The proposed, budget for the coming year 1940-41. is under this figure by more than $7,000. A salient feature of the proposed budget is a drastic cut In the allowance allow-ance for repairs, replacements and maintenance of the school plants. This, year, It is proposed to allow for maintenance only, with no large expenditures for building. As a result, re-sult, the estimated outlay for this department will be $16,000. as compared com-pared to the actual expenditure during dur-ing the current year, of $27,459.73. In line with the school board's aim to reduce the bonded Indebtedness, a large outlay for debt service Is contemplated again next year. This year, $35,000 of the school district's bonds were retired, and $16,700 of tax anticipation notes were paid, out of an actual expenditure of $66,572.63 for debt service. During the coming year It is' proposed to make similar payments on the district's indebtedness. indebted-ness. By means of these comparatively large debt service payments, the school board is striving to get out from under - the debt load, and through careful budgeting and economies eco-nomies is succeeding in doing so. Retirement of bonds will draw heavily heav-ily on the district during the coming year and for the next three years, but In 1949 the bond payments will be cut approximately in half, and In 1951 all bonds now outstanding will be paid, according to the present setup. By making an effort at the present time, the board has been able to effect savings on Interest charges, and at the same time to place the district in a better financial fin-ancial condition. Already, the district dis-trict is able to "see light" in the debt situation. Major increase noted in the proposed pro-posed budget is the allowance for salaries of teachers and educational staff. The contemplated allowance is $207,000, as compared with $200,-37497 $200,-37497 actually expended during the current year. The proposed budget contemplates a cash deficit of $8,388.83. Principal estimated revenues are $133,000 from the state district school fund, $164,-000 $164,-000 from Utah county taxes, based on a levy of 13.85 miles, $42,500 from the state equalization fund, $13,000 from Utah county tax sales, $10,000 from the uniform school fund, $3350 from the state high school fund, $3,000 from Smith-Hughes and Georg-Deen federal subsidies, $2500 from sale of property, and $2000 from high school fees.
