A granddaughter; Judith Turner, gave the biographical sketch and related many interesting incidents in her grandfather's like. "He learned to work at an early age as the family living was gained by farming. There were cows to drive to pasture, milking, harnessing horses to drive to work. He had the responsibility of running the farm and seeing that all the chores were done as his father went to Idaho to be supervisor of the sugar company and Gerald was the oldest boy. He attended school in the old Thurman Building, and the Central School. He attended Utah State and the U of U Medical School. He passed the State Pharmacy Board in 1916 after taking courses by correspondence. He was also a chemist for Utah Idaho Sugar Company. He worked for 41 continuous years serving the public. He and his wife Mable Briggs, were parents of three children. They had been married 59 years. His service to his church was noted including his work on the Geneology Committe and in the High Priests. He had been President of the Associated Druggest and a loyal Lions Club member. He was also a member of the S.U.P. It was recalled that he loved to fish and enjoyed traveling. Virgil Peterson was the concluding speaker and he recalled many qualities exemplified by Mr; Taylor such as honesty and love of his work. The benediction was spoken by Stanley Taylor and the dedi- catory prayer at the cemetery was offered by Arnold Taylor. The Sixth Ward Relief Society cared for the profusion of beautiful flowers. Serving as pallbearers were Brent Ekins, Dale Ekins, Kenneth Taylor, Steven Taylor, Mineral Base Threatened by Government Land Withdrawals Much of America's vast stores of minerals-w- ill remain unavailable if the present uncoordinated government policy continues, a study made by .two Department of the lntenor employees has revealed. Published in the September issue of MINING CONGRESS JOURNAL the monthly magazine of the American Mining Congress, the report asserts that the U.S. Congress and the Executive Branch, acting independently, have hindered mineral exploration development to the point that a serious reconsideration of mining and mineral policy is required. The process which began slowly, sharply accelerated after 1968 until today, s when more than of the nation's public, federally owned lands are not available for mining. Entitled, "Is Our Account Overdrawn""the report was prepared by Gary Benneth-um- . Staff Assistant for Energy and Minerals to the Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and L. Courtland Lee a geologist with the Bureau of Land Manage ment. The authors of the study compare U.S. public lands to a bank account and indicate that the rate of withdrawals may bring us to the point where our checks begin to bounce. This is not the result of conscious planning, much less any deliberate policy of Congress. Rather, it's as if every member of a big family has his own checkbook to draw on a common account, but nobody pays attention to the balance. What is particularly alarming, they point out, is that much of the withdrawn land has potential for discovery of sign- "Those minerals have to be found somewhere. They have to be developed somehow. And somebody has to it." Overton said. The mining industry of the United States is equal to the task, but it has to be granted the chance, according lo Overton. In the face of this tremendous need, the federal government has put a fence effectively prohibiting mineral exploration and mining around an area equivalent to every state east of the Mississippi except Maine. Noting that it takes considerable time and money-o- f ten over a decade and at a cost of many millions of dollars to bring a mine onstream after mineral deposits are discovered, Overton stated that the nation is rapidly running out of options. "This is a matter of the utmost concern, not just to mining operators but to everybody in the nation. Because ultimately, all of us will be affected. two-third- "The American Mining Congress hopes to arouse the interest of the nation and its voters to the point where this withdrawal process will be reversed." Food Stamp Reform Testimony The Senate Agriculture Committee today heard testimony ) from Senator Jake Gam on the need to reform the nation's food stamp program. Senator Gam testified in favor of Senate bill 1933, the "National Food Stamp Reform Act of 1975". He said it would save taxpayers an estimated two billion dollars and increase benefits to the "Truly Needy" by 29 ificant mineral deposits.

"In the lust decade the numb- er of Americans actually receiv- ing food stamps jumped an incredible 4,227 percent", Senator Garn told the Committee. "As large as this figure is, it fails to convey the even more startling fact that one of every four Americans is now eligible for food stamps.
