Farmers to Receive Payment Reports Farmers will benefit from a new reporting service which has been inaugurated by ASCS, Gene A. Walker, Chairman of the Millard ASC County Committee announced today. A report of payments made to each farmer under ACP, feed grain, wheat and other direct payment pay-ment programs during 1967 will be mailed to the farmer during the latter part of January. This report is expected to be helpful in preparing pre-paring individual income tax returns. re-turns. The same information must also be furnished to the Internal! Revenue Service in accordance with a requirement of law. It is estimated that over three million farmers will receive this report, ,he said. This information is being gathered from county offices of-fices and summarized by computers located at New Orleans and Kansas Kan-sas City. The reports are being printed by the computers and mailed mail-ed direct to farmers. A job of this size could not be completed without with-out an automated system, added Mr. Walker. Since this is the first year for a are bound to be a few problems. He suggested that farmers carefully care-fully read the explanation on the report and check the accuracy of the total reported by comparing it with farm records.

Our intention is to give a fac-tunl fac-tunl history of federal aid to Millard Schools from the lunchroom lunch-room program thru the present-day present-day programs. We intend to spend a lot of time at the District Offices researching re-searching official minutes and records. We are interested in knowing who made motions and who seconded motions and how the voting went to get each federal aid program. We hope the articles will be interesting and informative. We will strive to give background back-ground information and include all factors entering into a given board's thinking in reaching a decision. To the best of our ability ab-ility we will be objective and not indulge in editorializing. OUR EDITORIALIZING O N FEDERAL AID FOLLOWS. We rre in favor of some of the federal programs. Others we know little about. Still others we feel are not needed in Millard County and our reasons in the last instance has nothing to do with fear of loss of local control. con-trol. We withhold judgement of those we know little about. The Chronicle is happy to rely on the opinions of our school board members, Bud Huff, Jack Nelson, Nel-son, Delma Galii, Bertis Framp-ton Framp-ton and Garold Robinson, all fine people of unquestionable character. We question the necessity of Headstart in Millard County and we have questioned the effectiveness effec-tiveness of the Neighborhood Youth Corps (NYC) program. We interpret the stated purpose pur-pose of Headstart to mean that the program is designed primarily primar-ily to provide a "leveling-off" of social levels. Assuming our interpretation is correct then we wonder if there are serious social levels in Millard Mil-lard County. We think all of Millard County is poverty-stricken and therefore there-fore residents are of the same social level. We presented these views to the Millard Board of Education Heart Attack Claims Hildred M. Tolbert, 51 Funeral services for Hildred McCullough Tolbert, 51, will be held Friday, Jan. 26,1968, 11:00 a.m. at Sutherland LDS Ward Chapel. Friends may call from 9:30 until time of service. Mrs. Tolbert died Tuesday, Jan. 23 at her home in Abraham of a heart attack. She was born May 9, 1916 in Delta to Thomas Clark and Rose May Day McCullough. She grew up in Delta and attended Delta schools and is a graduate of Delta High. She was married to Lloyd Tolbert Tol-bert July 22, 1938 in Fillmore. The marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple. She has been active in her church and has served as teacher in various var-ious church organizations. Survivors are her husband at Abraham, sons; daughter, Lloyd Clark, Smithfield; Ray M., Ely, Nev.; Keith, Montpelier, -Idaho; Sidney, Salt Lake City; Louis Richard, Hinckley; Mrs. James W.

At that time we suggested that a district-wide program for all four-year-olds would better serve the needs of the district. We based our suggestion on two points. We're old-fashioned to the point that we question if school is needed for any child at the tender age of four years. We recognize that we aren't NOW parents of a four-year-old and thus do not know problems faced today by parents of a child of four in this age of instant in-stant communication. The second point Involved the number of four-year-olds attending at-tending nursery schools in the county plus the number attending attend-ing Headstart declared eligible to attend by their parents. This left a third group who would be disadvantaged when they became be-came old enough to enroll in kindergarten. Those are the children whose parents could not afford the admission fee to the nursery schools nor declared themselves eligible to have their t child enroled in Headstart. THE MILLARD BOARD OF EDUCATION ED-UCATION AND SUPT. TALMAGE TAYLOR WERE QUICKER THAN WE IN SIZING UP THIS SITUATION SITU-ATION AND COMING TO THE SAME CONCLUSION. AT THAT SAME MEETING THE BOARD VOTED TO INITIATE A DISTRICT-WIDE NURSERY SCHOOL PROGRAM. We feel the NYC program has merit and works well in winter j when the groups of young employees em-ployees are smaller in number. This affords good supervision. However, we have observed many of the NYC employees have been slack in performing their duties in summer. To us this promotes the idea of doing the barest minimum of work for a salary of $1.25 an hour. We understand the Board of Education and Supt. Taylor hnve observed the same weakness in the NYC program and are taking tak-ing steps to correct it. IN NYC, AS IN HEADSTART, PARENTS ARE THE ONES WHO DECLARE ELIGIBILITY TO PARTICIPATE. And this concludes our editorializing editor-ializing on Federal Aid to Education. Edu-cation.
