J. Starley, Millard March of Dimes chairman, announced today. Prin. D. A. Allred stated that both students and faculty would gladly accept the responsibility of present-the present-the annual event, and would take pride and satisfaction in adding to the fund to destroy polio and to restore hope to its past victims.

"Our Schools In Action" Page In This Issue On an inside page of this paper you will find a page entitled "Our Schools in Action." On this page we will strive to show you, the reader, just that. The idea for such a page was born with a remark of a Junior High School Principal, "It isn't popular to be a brain in the upper up-per grades," and a written speech by Charles Clay'baugh, editor of the Box Elder Journal. You will notice each school has a special place and this space will be treated as a small newspaper. There are always stories cover-1 ing the sports and social events of a school. Seldom anything is written on the actual courses offered, of-fered, the student who is most talented in a given course, or the hobbies of students and teachers. Sometimes the news stories will be on the usual, sometimes ere-, ative writing, a feature story on a teacher, the average pupil who has the talent of getting along with everyone, the honor roll, and many others. Delta Jr. High and Delta High School news will be written by the students themselves. Elementary Elemen-tary school news will be written by the teachers.

First, perhaps there is a minor error which turns the edges of the record re-cord black, with each error adding add-ing more black until all you have Is black. 1957 was a black year. Safety on the highways was screamed from every angle; every feasible and visible means was put into a fighting force to keep the white, white. This paper joined this fighting force but we failed, too, in an approach that has been made before, but perhaps not locally. lo-cally. The good old American Dollar seems to make more sense and strike deeper, to the average American than about anything else. Talk about the Dollar and include waste and misuse and you are bound to turn a few heads. Last year on the highways of Millard County, accidents involving involv-ing one or more cars, cars and animals, caused a loss in dollars and cents that amounted to a low estimate of $70,527.50. Using the estimated cost of $300 a year to educate the average aver-age school student, and adding the fact that in the present Senior High School we have 209 students, you can draw some astonishing conclusions. This money if put to good use instead of going into accidents that could have been avoided, would educate all the students at MIIS for one year, with a balance left over. Services M . 0. Warnick, 57 Mansel Owen Warnick, 57, of Delta, died Friday shortly after midnight at the vetrans' hospital in Salt Lake City, where he had been a patient for a week. For the past sixteen years Mr. Warnick had spent a great part of his time in veterans' hospitals for medical care and for surgery. He was born at Deseret, Millard County, Jan. 16, 1900, a son of Charles Oscar and Lula Damron Warnick. His early years were lived at Deseret, where he farmed with his father. A veteran of World War I, he enlisted when he was a young man of 18, and he served In France. He married Chloe Johnson July 10, 1922, at Fillmore. She died Aug. 10, 1931. On Aug. 4, 1933, he married mar-ried Mabel Desmond Crafts, at Fillmore. Their home was made in Montana from 1934 to 1942, when they returned to Delta. Mr. Warnick Warn-ick was a farmer, miner and road construction worker until failing health caused his retirement. Serves in Korea MAYLON F. ERICKSON 7th Div., Korea (AHTNC) Specialist Speci-alist Third Class Maylon F. Erick-son, Erick-son, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willard E. Erickson, Deseret, Utah is a member mem-ber of the 7th Infantry Division in Korea. Specialist Erickson, a clerk in Mortar Battery of the division's 31st Infantry, entered the Army in October, Oct-ober, 1956, and arrived in the Far East in March 1957.

The Jolly Stitchers monthly pot-luck pot-luck supper and card party is Saturday, Jan. 18, at 7:30 p. nu at the Woodrow HalL Another example is that the sum paid by the Railroad, one of the larger taxpayers in Millard County which pays nearly one-fourth one-fourth of all taxes collected locally, local-ly, is only about one and a half times what was lost in accidents, where safety in most cases was far removed. In addition to the cost of repairing repair-ing and replacing the vehicles, $3,674.05 was paid out to the local hospital for hospitalization following follow-ing these accidents. This does not include doctor's fees. Finally, add to this the cost of the nine fatalities fatali-ties in burial expense - to say nothing of the loss to their families famil-ies and to society - and you end up with figures that should make white mean a lot more than black. This paper greatly appreciates thq friendly relationship that exists between the staff and members mem-bers of the Utah Highway Patrol, County law enforcement officers and local police. It was through this cooperation that correct reporting re-porting of accidents could be done; and that other valuable information in-formation regarding safety could be passed along to our readers. The cost figures were taken from the accident reports of State Highway Troopers Gayle Rasmus-sen, Rasmus-sen, Ken Clements, both stationed in Millard County, Sgt. Eldon Sherwood of Nephi, EIRoy Mason, Cedar City; Gordon Farnsworth, Beaver; Calvin Stewart, Millard County Sheriff; Deputies Ed Mills and Bud Richards; and City Police Officers Mike Hare and Clayton Edwards. ll. f rC I?- t I.

The article was copied exactly from a state daily newspaper, who apparently made the errors we picked up so carefully. Frank Lyman, county commissioner, commiss-ioner, visited us after the paper came out last week, and brought a Millard County Auditor's state ment of tentative budget and report, re-port, for the year of 1958, and pointed out the various errors we made, and now hasten to correct. The erring article stated in the first paragraph "Millard County commissioners approved the 1958 budgetof $389,803 at their recent annual budget hearing at Fillmore. The figure tops the 1957 budget by $101,898." The facts are, as shown in the report,- that the tentative budget for 1958 is $288,120.00, which tops the 1957 budget of $278,370.50 toy $9749.50, but is under the 1956 bud get of $311,872.66 "by $23,752.60. In the partial breakdown that 'followed were more errors, one in particular being Sheriff, $8,100 salary, sal-ary, $3,345 expenses: That should have read Sheriffs Salaries, (Not salary, as it Includes sheriff and deputy) $7925.00, Sheriff's Expense, $2,735.00. There seem to be other errors that would take too long to itemize, item-ize, so our advice to you is to pay no attention to last week's budget report, tout see the county report with your own eyes. Millard County tax levies for the year of 1958 are 7.25 mills, as com pared to 7.20 mills for 1957. mind them that all nominations of candidates for these positions must be submitted to either Gilbert Searle or Willis Morrison by 8 p.m. Saturday, January 18.
