Show THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN, ' Thursday, April 10, 1958 Three Ut. Foundation Reports On Public Welfare Department in Utah Legislative changes made In 1947 and 1948 coupled with business-like administration of the Public Welfare Department have been key factors In insuring state fiscal solvency, in Utah during the past decade. This Is the conclusion reached by Utah Foundation, the private, nonprofit, non-profit, governmental research organization, in their latest report re-port on welfare trends in Utah. The report states that the legislative and administrative welfare .policies followed by the State have resulted in savings ranging upward from $38 million during the past decade. In addition, ad-dition, this policy of limiting public welfare to persons who are genuinely in need has allowed al-lowed Utah to maintain individual individ-ual assistance grants at a high level for those persons who must rely on public welfare. According to the study, legislative leg-islative and administrative reforms re-forms adopted since 1947 have, for the most part, been planned to encourage 'and assist welfare recipients to become self-supporting. This practlve which resulted in substantial savings in tax dollars has permitted the State to meet rapidly rising costs in education, health,' state building requirements, etc. without with-out major revisions in the state tax structure and without incurring incur-ring any state indebtedness. Foundation" i analysts, observe that in 1946 Utah was spending about 70 more per inhabitant for welfare than was being spent throughout the nation for this purpose. In 1957, Utah was spending about 8 less per capita cap-ita than the national' average for public welfare. . The report also notes' that while the total public assistance caseload in the United States Increased 27 between 1947 and 1957, it declined 8 in Utah during this same period. This experience is in direct contrast to that of the 1937-47 decade when public assistance costs in Utah rose at a rate more than twice that of the entire nation. The study recalls that during one period (1939-1943) all sales tax revenue after administrative administra-tive expense was earmarked and spent for welfare purposes In Utah. If this practice had continued, con-tinued, Utah would have spent an additional $10.6 million in state funds for public welfare last year. The Foundation points out that this amount exceeds- the total yield from the state individual income tax for the year and is equivalent to an 8.5 mill state-wide property tax levy. 25 PROUD YEARS IN THE BREWING INDUSTRY April 7, 1958, marks the 25th anniversary of the re-legalization of beer in the United States. During this 25-year period, members of the United States Brewers Foundation, Inc., have proven their strong sense of social responsibility by sponsoring a strict self-regulation program for their industry. This program seeks to impress upon all government agencies agen-cies the necessity for rigid enforcement of laws and regulations pertaining to the sale of beer and ale, and to impress on licensees licen-sees the necessity for strict observance of such laws. In common with the public interest, the nation's brewers seek the goal of moderation on a national scale, for they recog- nize that the American people will not tolerate national excess. World experience has shown that where the consumption of beer has been recognized as socially acceptable, moderation has been the rule. Now the nation's fifth largest taxpayer, the brewing industry indus-try in 1957 contributed in federal, state, and local taxes more tjaan $1 billion. Wages paid to employees amounted to nearly $468 million, and the nation's farmers received $240 million for their products. In all, approximately $38 billion has been pumped into the nation's economy in the past 25 years by the malt beverage industry. During 1958 the nation's brewers are re-dedicating themselves them-selves to upholding the high standards of the brewing industry through its self-regulation program, and stressing that the light, bright beverages of moderation are the products of a progressive industry which contributes substantially to the economy, pleasure and well-being of virtually the entire adult nation. BEER and ALE . . .&f County Dairy Herd Ass'n. Publishes Annual Production Report The Annual Report for Utah County Dairy Herd Improvement Improve-ment Association for 1957 released re-leased by County Agent John J. Barnard shows an average production pro-duction of 10,868 lbs. of milk and 416 lbs. of butterfat per cow. This Is the highest level of production pro-duction ever attained in more than. 30 years of record keeping in Utah County., This average compares very favorably for the various production pro-duction levels for the United States, Utah State, and Utah County. U. S. average cow produces 230 lbs. butterfat, Utah average cow produces 260 lbs. butterfat, Utah County cow produces 275 lbs. butterfat. U. S. average D.H.I.A. cow 383 lbs. butterfat, Utah average D.HJ.A. cow 390 lbs. butterfat, Utah County average D.H.I.A. cow 416 lbs. butterfat. Fifteen hundred forty one cows owned in 49 herds are in the program. This represents only 15 of the cows in Utah County. High herds of the county pro ducing over 500 lbs. butterfat are Grant Richards, Manila, 603; Charles Warnick, Manila, 548; John Y. Swenson, Manila, 531; Farr Brother, Payson, 517 Ronald Ron-ald Pace, Provo, 513; T. A. Hal-laday, Hal-laday, West Provo, 506; and Ronald and Eugene Nlelson, Palmyra, Pal-myra, 500. Highest producing cow is "Princess" , owned by Grant Richards. She produced 21,400 lbs. of milk and 785 lbs. of butterfat but-terfat in 305 days. This would amount to 3 quarts of milk per day for ten families throughout the year. Highest record ever attained by a herd in-Utah was 619 lbs. of butterfat in Charles Warnick's herd about 10 years ago. Officers of the association are Ronald Nlelson, Palmyra, President; Presi-dent; John Y.
