Why try to reverse re-verse the process ? o A good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy cour-tesy reaps friendship and he who plants kindness gathers love. FAITH AND STRENGTH All the strength and force of man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions. The man strongly possessed of an idea is the master of all who are uncertain or wavering. Clear, deep, living convictions rule the world. James Freeman Clark. THE IDEAL PRAYER Not more light I ask, 0 Lord, But eyes to see what is; Not sweeter songs, but ears The present melodies. Not more of love, but skill to turn A frown to a caress. Not more of joy, but how to feel The loving presence here, To give others all I have Of courage and of cheer. Not other gifts, dear Lord, I ask, But only sight to see How best those precious gifts to use Thou hast bestowed on me. Give me all fears to dominate, All purest joys to know, To be the friend I wish to be, To speak the truth I know. ' ' To love the pure, to seek the good, To help with all my might . All souls to dwell in harmony, In freedom's perfect light. - - .

Leave off the old-time stories, put your strength behind the plow, For it isn't what you used to be it's what you are right now. - Safety Pin. Spotlighting UTAH Assertions Answered An organized effort is now he In i . maae Dy certain groups whose specific interests lie in the development of through-state highways to deprive the Utah department of Publicity and Industrial In-dustrial Development of its present source of operating revenue, reve-nue, namely only the surplus funds left from the motor vehicle ve-hicle registration fees. To clear up the confusion and misunderstanding relative this Object, the Publicity Department Depart-ment has prepared and dispatcher dispatch-er a letter t.n the. tioned above setting straight for once and for all, the facts relative ie use of state funds for the operation of the department. It hoped that after the facts are .own, that the continued use of wus money by the Department of publicity and Industrial Development Develop-ment will have the unanimous approval of all.

Never Received Gas Tax Money Continuing, the letter em- Dhatically declares that the gas oline tax fund is set up for and used exclusively by the State Road Commission for purposes outlined by law. The Department Depart-ment of Publicity and Industrial Development has never received one dollar of gasoline tax money. in exDlanation, it is pointed out that the motor vehicle registration, regis-tration, or auto license plate fee fnnrt was sst ud by the 1917 legis lature as a revenue measure, not! of necessity dedicated to tne soie benefit of any group or purpose. It is quite incongruous to think, says the letter, of a "Cigarette User Tax" as having to be administered ad-ministered solely for the benefit of those who smoke cigarettes. On the other hand, the groups mentioned in the first paragraph insist that the surplus motor vehicle ve-hicle funds be used solely to benefit them. No Matching Fund Lost Great stress, declares the letter, has been placed on a supposed loss to Utah in not being able to obtain all possible Federal Aid Matching Funds for roads. It inferred that because of the Publicity Department's use of surplus motor vehicle funds, the Department of Publicity under un-der state statutes, is any surplus in excess of the $800,000 which must be set aside out of motor vehicle registration funds for county and city roads, plus the cost of collection and administration, adminis-tration, plus any other ' legal charges that may be placed against the fund. Department Receives Small Amount Further proof that use of sur plus motor vehicle monies by the Publicity Department has never delayed or prevented road construction con-struction In Utah can be obtained obtain-ed from the State Road Commission, Commis-sion, the letter points out, and declares that "the average annual ann-ual amount received by the Publicity Pub-licity Department since its inception in-ception from the surplus of the registration fees is only $383,023.- 91." On the other hand, it is pointed out, the gasoline tax for 1946 is about $5,000,000. Add to this the federal matching funds of $4,600,000, and it shows a total of more than $9,600,000 available to the State Road Commission for the improvement of Utah's highway system. It is quite inconceivable, in-conceivable, that the small sum of $383,023,91 spent for the operation opera-tion of the Publicity Department, less than 4 per cent of the total available to the State Road Commission Com-mission from gas tax money could spell the difference be- Mrs. Melba Alice Frank Bateman, Bate-man, 34, former Lehi resident, was buried in the Lehi cemetery Tuesday Tues-day of last week, following funeral services held at Sandy.

We believe this project offers many advantages for our city. Besides offering a convenient conven-ient sewage disposal fop the homes of Lehi, it will decrease the inci dence of diseases. Rheumatic fever and infantile paralysis besides a host of other diseases are well known here, li we can do anything any-thing to help stamp out these diseases dis-eases which particularly attack the children of our community we should do everything in our power to combat them. A sewer system will have; untold public health! benefits in decreasing disease.
