C, by U. S. Senator William H. King. Senator King recently returned to the national capital from Utah, where he made a circle trip of the state and conferred with William R. Wallace, Utah Water Storage Commission Com-mission chairman, and T. H. Humphreys, Hum-phreys, state engineer. "We could well hope to secure federal fed-eral approval of at least six or seven sev-en new Utah projects next year, if feasibility and engineering preliminaries prelimi-naries are worked out," the senior Utah senator reported. And he agreed to devote himself to obtaining obtain-ing early construction of approved small reservoir projects. Vocational Work Adopted As Part Of School Program Vocational school work is definitely defi-nitely a part of the educational program pro-gram of the Alpine school district, Superintendent D. R. Mitchell declared de-clared in a statement released to this newspaper Wednesday. The superintendent's complete statement follows: Why we feel that there should be an ever Increasing emphasis upon vocational training of our youth: Because of the immaturity of our youth when they graduate from high school, and because of the demands de-mands of society on these youth in making a living, our secondary schools should concern themselves more about terminal and vocational classes for those who are not going into the professional jobs. According Accord-ing to estimates from surveys the so-called white-collar or professional profession-al jobs absorb only a small percent of our high school graduates, while more than half of our students must fit into the skilled and semi-skilled occupations. As our society grows more and more complex the unskilled occupations occupa-tions are becoming fewer and the skilled and semi-skilled occupations are increasing in number and in training requirements. Thus, it be comes the responsibiliay of our pub Senator King said he considers the nineteen Utah projects, already Uc schools to adjust or realign their investigated, as vitally important to program to more adequately meet the welfare of the state.

These projects will be constructed with part of a $3,500,000 fund now available. Senator King is following through on several other Utah small reservoir reser-voir projects which have been submitted sub-mitted to the reclamation bureau, but have not as yet been reported upon. These include the Pine Valley Val-ley or Moody Creek project and the Kolob or Virgin City project, both in Washington County; a project on the Weber river for the enlargement of the East Canyon reservoir; the Hickerson Park project in Daggett County, the Three Creeks project in Beaver County, the Bear River project proj-ect in Boxelder, Cache, Rich and Summit counties, and the Vernal Mosby project in Uintah county. The senator reported that he intends in-tends to rjush through these Utah i j 1. Because young people snouia learn early in life to work and earn. 2. Because the majority of students stu-dents terminate their school work when they .leave high school, and are unprepared to do the world's work. ' 3. Vocational training is at once an asset to the trainee, the employer, and the community. 4. The average length of unemployment unem-ployment between the time when boys leave high school and when they find employment is nearly two years. 5. During this period of unemployment unem-ployment there is a tendency on the part of the youth to acquire many negative attitudes and habits. If training were given and proper attitudes at-titudes toward industry and employment em-ployment were developed, they would be prepared to ao more work. 6.

Utah county's 1040 tax levy was set at 8.21 mills, or .26 mills higher than the 1939 levy of 7.95 mills, at a special meeting of the Utah county commission Friday. The raise was, necessary to offset the loss in revenue through a decreased de-creased county valuation and the fact that a huge surplus secured through tax sale Redemptions and used to keep the county operating without borrowing money is now nearly gone, Sylvan W. Clark of Lehi, chairman of the county commission, com-mission, said. ' With the county valuation dropping drop-ping from $43,560,257 in 1939 to $42,217,406 in 1940, the increased levy, based on a 90 per cent collection, col-lection, will bring $311,937.01, compared com-pared with $311,673 for 1939, an increase in-crease of but $264.02 in actual revenue, rev-enue, Mr. Clark pointed out. The decrease in the assessed valuation val-uation of the county was princi-ptiUy princi-ptiUy due to the personal property exemption law which went into effect ef-fect this year, the commissioners said. The highway department levy was raised from 1.3 mills to 2 mills and the bond sinking fund levy was increased in-creased from .35 mills in 1939 to .45 mill in 1940. The infirmary fund levy was cut from .78 mill last year to .41 mill and the Memorial fund from .30 mill to .12 mill. The levies of other departments, which remained the same as in 1939, are: General fund, 1.8 mills; exhibition and advertising, .18 mill; public welfare, 2.59 mills; poor and indigent, .50 mill; interest on bonds, .15 mill.
