Show 4 THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN, Thursday, August 21, 1952 What About The Lien Law? by Mary a W. Dtlloa ftesident, Senior ClUscna of Utah ' If we will stop to consider that the party which framed the lien law like the ones who are fighting fight-ing its repeal, are wealthy people, peo-ple, or backed by big interests, then, their arguments and writings writ-ings may have leu power to convince con-vince us to their way of thinking. think-ing. They ,are people who live on the fat of the land. They have beef steaks to eat, while they consign us to a scant living. As long as we .have the votes why not use them to further our own Interests? At their July meeting, the Legislative Leg-islative Council put forth the idea that if the lien law was repealed the relief rolls would be Increased by 3000 recipients, at a cost of 55 per month, which would raise expenditures by more than $2,000-000. $2,000-000. I don't know where they get these figures. But if it be true, I think it a disgrace to the state to not be caring for its worthy pooj t For a debt-free state that is collecting over $16,000,000 in sales tax revenue fos the purpose of taking care of its worthy poor to quibble about spending one-eighth one-eighth of that sum to help the needy is not worthy to count itself it-self a Christian sovereignty. The old people are paying that sales tax. All their children are paying it. Who has a. better right to share the money? , Certainly not the prisoners at the point of the Get more road grip!

But they all get it while 3000 old home owners go without the necessities, according to this estimate of the Legislative Council, and copied by the Utah Foundation. When I was traveling over the state gathering signatures for the repeal, I was given to understand that many would go oft the relief rolls if they could do so without sacrificing their home. They are tired of living under the dictatorship dictator-ship of the welfare workers. They said they would go off the relief rolls even if they knew they would starve. I reminded them that the L.D.S. church welfare plan would always help those who try to help themselves. Why should they have to sacrifve their home to get off the relief rolls, when the renter next door has had $20 a month more than they have had, with no obligation whatsoever of having hav-ing to pay it back? If Governor Lee wants to reduce re-duce the sales tax on essentials, why can't it be done out of the $14,000,000 left after they spend a scant $2,000,000 to take care of their worthy poor? Would it not be worth more to the people to be exempt from paying sales tax on food and medicines than to have that money available to build roads, and the most modern dining room and kitchen in the world for the prisoners, or to further building projects? We did not vote the sales tax on our heads to finance these projects. According to the report for the fiscal year June 1950 to June 1951 the Welfare Department spent $5,529,393.56 to take care of 9,500 old-age people. Out of this amount the federal government sent $3,167,886.51, leaving a total paid by the state of $2,361,507.05. If it cost the state $2,300,000 to care for 9000 recipients for one year how could it cost the state $2,000,000 for 3000 additional re cipients? Do their figures ring true to you? To me they seem like big scare words to mislead the voter. In my book 3000 it one-third of 9000. If we are losing $2,00,000 that should be going to our old people and the federal government puts up 60 per cent of that amount, then other states are getting $1,200,000 that should be coming to our state and spent with out businessmen. While they are discriminating against the elderly el-derly home owner, keeping them on starvation allowances or not caring for them at all, they are taking it out of the businessman's pocket w m GG6 C3AV0 A; STAKE IC3 ffELGPHOME SERVGCO... i ' , - The bel telephone tervics in the world i right here in America.

Aureomycln Becoming Less Costly to Sick PEARL RIVER, N.Y.-One of the antibiotic "wonder drugs", which is used widely for many human and animal diseases, is becoming less expensive for the patient.

Now laboratories are marketing the drug under a new low-dosage recomendatlon which is about half that for similar wide-range anti-blotlc. anti-blotlc. This lower dotage will mean substantial savings for the patient The new recommendation calls for only tour 250 mg. aureomycin capsules per day for an adult, as compared with the old recommendation recommenda-tion ot eight to 10 per day, for serious bacterial infections. Two years ago, our scientists, realizing that lower dosages ot the drug would be effective, set in motion mo-tion an extensive research program In our laboratories and in hospitals throughout the country, to gain evidence. Meanwhile, independent reports, from all over the world proved "conclusively that a lower dosage is in order, a fact which has been recognized and approved by responsible authorities. Aureomycin, which must be prescribed pre-scribed by a doctor, is indicated in the treatment of over 00 diseases which beset man, including "strep" throat, boils and carbunclet "virus" pneumonia, tonsillitis, and a number of skin infections. Saturday Night Bath Now Thing of Past NEW YORK The Saturday night bath is becoming as outmoded as the horse and buggy despite the fact that most people are keener than ever about personal hygiene. The Gas Appliance Manufacturers Manufactur-ers association, which makes a study of such things, says that the once-a-week dunking Is going down the drain in favor of the daily shower or dip in the tub. Better plumbing, more scientific bath fixture, improved soaps and, 'most important, automatic hot water, have brought about the bathing revolution. With It have come higher living standards and better health. Nowadays, the association reports, re-ports, the average family uses twn to four time as much hot water as a family of comparable size 20 years ago. Where a 30gaHon hot-water hot-water tank sufficed In 1833, today's household demand tanks of at least 40-gallon storage capacity and they want heaters that heat water fast and keep it hot for bathing even while dishwashing or laundering ia going on.
