Igleheart UTAH STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION If the voters of Utah don't have new laws' to guide them at the next election it won't be because the current twenty-sixth session of the state legislature isn't trying try-ing to frame legislation that will permit them to know just how to vote for whom. Half a dozen bills ranging from an extension of the county attorney's term to four years, to a headless ballot are already in the hoppers of both houses and as the third week of the session concluded Saturday, assurances had been given that additional bills will be submitted to clarify the methods of both voting and counting the votes. There will be no more Maw-Lee ballot difficulties dif-ficulties or their like, say the lawmakers. The legislature really got down to business this past week with ail committees in both houses functioning smoothly and turning turn-ing out the new ones for consideration. consid-eration. While the joint appropriations approp-riations c6mmittees were subdividing sub-dividing their chore of meeting new demands with what money there may be, the demands by no means ceased coming in.

These and others are not contemplated in the Governor's Govern-or's budget. ' . Nor are the requests for increased in-creased salaries from everybody in public service from town board members to justice of the state supreme court, including all state elective and appointive officials as well as all employees of the state. The Legislature promises to scruitnize those lists rather minutely. Other revenue taxing proposals including the provision for civil service and retirement benefits for non-teaching employees of the schools and employees of the state's custodial institutions. There may not be harmony as regards all of these but the past week did produce a notable example ex-ample of what harmony can be when representatives of the state's major industries and of the principal unions of organized labor got together and ironed out their difference on proposed broadening of the scope and benefits of the state workmen's compensation act and the occupational occu-pational disease act. Quite a number of the 112 bills submitted to the house and 123 in the senate give teeth to existing ex-isting statutes such as welfare provisions making parents and guardians financially responsible for custodial cases where possible and the house agricultural committee com-mittee measure centering responsibility re-sponsibility for soil and water conservation activities in Utah with the state board of agriculture. agricul-ture.

Milliman (D-Mam-moth) would expedite divorce proceedings for, it is said, the benefit of war hasty brides and grooms while Sen. Sol Selvin (D-Tooele) (D-Tooele) and Rep. Frank Bonacci (D-Helper) have both introduced a bill which would prevent racial discrimination in public places. The house gave its approval to fourteen varied measures last week none of which developed much debate or opposition. They killed two proposals, one for a constitutional amendment that would permit 18 year olds to vote, the other calling for a certificate cer-tificate of inspection of motor vehicles before transfer of title can be made. Bills they passed included authority to tax federal property with the consent of federal authorities; auth-orities; enabling counties to set up reserve funds for post war planning and employment; extending ex-tending the permission for women wom-en to work in mines; extension of the soldier voting law; continued abbreviation of the school year to provide farm labor and some others of less consequence. The senate disposed of thirteen measures, among them authorization authori-zation for pay increases of 15 per cent in counties of the 1st and 2nd class and 25 per cent in all others; reducing the age of girl attendants at theatres and other places of amusement to 16; providing for retirement of members mem-bers of county fire departments, changing the make-up of the state board of health to permit the appointment of three lay members, and various others making minor technical amendments amend-ments in existing laws.

The resuscitator was accepted by Mayor George Lewis, on behalf of the Lehi hospital board and the community. The resuscitator is of a dual type, accommodating two patients pat-ients at one time. It will prove itself useful in cases of drowning, asphyxiation, and other emerg encies. It will find great use in aiding newborn babies to breathe, and in supplying oxygen when needed, and has two oxygen tanks. The resuscitator has been placed at the Lehi hospital, but is subject to call at any time. In case of emergency, a call to the fire department will result in its presence at the scene of emergency. The hospital staff, the fire department, and a crew of women are being trained in its use, so that help will be instant ly available when needed. The purchase of the resucita tor has been a project of the home nursing class of 1944, who turned the proceeds of the recent health clinics toward the purchase, pur-chase, and solicited aid from var ious groups in the community, All contributions toward the pur chase have been voluntary.
