However, statistics show the National Forests of the Intermountain Region have more visitor use than any other nonurban forest land and water within Utah, Nevada, southern Idaho, and western Wyoming. And the good news is that fees charged for use of developed recreation sites on National Forests are changing very little this year. National Forest visitors planning to use developed camping sites will be interested in knowing that fees will vary from $1 to $3, depending upon facilities provided.

At some time in your life you may speak to and smile at a I stranger who is really going through a difficult emotional crisis. You may never know it, but your words and your smile may greatly encourage and bolster this person's inner strength or even prevent a suicidal act. Even if a person is the type who enjoys solitude, he or she still needs the assurance that other people are aware of them. If your smile and words do prompt another person to stop and talk to you, the time you spend with them is often much more important than you realize.

Smith, Director, VA Regional Office in Salt Lake City. He said that an explanation of the provisions of the new program will accompany March VA pension checks. The special add-o- n pension increase was earmarked by Congress for certain needy, elderly veterans of wartime service for whom VA education and Loan Guaranty benefits had not been made available. The Legislation limits the $800.00 annual increase to veterans of World War I who elect to receive benefits under the new pension law, Smith said. Nationally there are nearly 300,000 World War I veterans currently on VA pension rolls. In Utah the number is almost 950. But because of changed income eligibility criteria under the new improved pension program, the Veterans Administration believes that many of the veterans would benefit under the new program and qualify for the special $800.00 increase. The changes under the improved pension program will mean higher pension rates for some World War I veterans, even is before the $800.00 add-oincluded, but the income of all family members will be counted for the first time in determining pension eligibility. Under the improved pension law a veteran without a dependent has an income limit of $3,660.00. If, for example, this veteran was receiving $2,400.00 annually from Social Security, his VA pension would be the difference of $1,150.00 annually that would be paid to him on a monthly basis. The income limit for a veteran with one dependent is $4,651.00. The veteran and his wife must count both of their incomes and the total would then by subtracted from the $4,651.00 to determine the veteran's annual pension rate. n "Run for Life" Day May 19th "National Run for Life Day" May 19 is expected to involve more than 3,000 Utahns in Salt Lake's largest run ever. .
