The data is based on the assessed valuation of all properties in each school district divided by District where the figure stands at $10,H34. "This wide range of assessed valuations in different districts of the state," said Alpine Clark Superintendent Cox, "emphasizes the important of the state supported minimum school which program equalizes the number of students in average expenditures for public school students in Utah, regardless of daily attendance. In the Alpine District, the which district in which they assessed valuation of all properties happen to reside. "This year, for example, our per student is $11,866.

QUILTS - were laid end-to-en- they'd d probably keep the world warm. Mae feels that quilting may become a lost art because few young people have learned the technique nor do they have the patience that quilting requires. Not limiting her world to making quilts, Mae enjoys keeping her lovely home immaculate, tending a thriving vegetable garden and growing her own fruit and flower gardens. "In the mornings I go outside and work until my soapie comes on, then I sit down, watch the show and quilt," smiled Mae. Mae's children, John, Robert, Russell and Kathleen, their spouses and families stop in often, and the love to be with grandchildren grandma. She's the typical example of what should look like. grandmothers White wavy hair frames a jovial happy smiling face. Her ample lap is built to rock grandchildren and a hearty chuckle ignites a heartwarming response from those who visit her. "My grandkids know that's my chair and they don't touch anything near it. They've learned to respect the quilts, my needles and thread," UMae smiled. Even though she lives alone now, autumn means harvest time to Mae and as she cans bottles of golden peaches, tangy pear marmalade, and all the fruits in season, she contemplates friends, family and neighbors who will benefit from the fruits of her labors. "But quilting . . . that's what keeps me going. It's something I love to do. I'm known around here as Mrs. Quilter," Mae laughed. When asked what she didn't like about quilting, she explained, "well, pricking my fingers. I have no fingerprints left on two fingers, they're all gone." "The kids come and say, 'Come here, or come go there,' and that's good, but I love to be home and get eoin' on my quilts," she said as she looked at an appliqued top she's almost completed. "That one will go in a show when it's done." One of the things that does get her out of the house is her weekly jaunts to the Utah State Training School where she teaches Sunday School and sometimes leads the music. "I just love that," she mused. She fought the depression that usually accompanies widowhood and since her husband's death several years ago, she has stepped up her homemaking and stitching activities. "I'd go nuts if I couldn't do this," she stated emphatically. r She displayed a picture of her grandson who lives with his parents in New Jersey. "Isn't he darling?" she asked. "I cried when it came in the mail this morning." She placed the photo on the mantel where she can gaze at it while finishing up her latest quilting project, "The Tree of Life," a magnificent appliqued quilt top that's sure to bring an heirloom touch to the home of the lucky people who will someday own it. :?,.:. State valuations of a district's wealth, according to the report, were calculated on all real properties within the area, such as lands, buildings, automobiles, and with state livestock, along valuations on local mines, utilities, railroads, etc. Parade and bonfire tonight Quilting keeps her going You'd think that after batting out over 200 appliqued quilts she'd be burned out, but Mae Strasburg Daly gets "all hopped up" when she gets her hands on a new quilt kit. It takes her three weeks to applique a quilt top, another two or three weeks to quilt it and "I've done over 200 of them. I lost track after 200," she laughs. Edna Strasburg and Emma Johnson, Mae's sisters, make beautiful cross-stitc- h quilt tops, Mae quilts and binds them and the sisters show them at craft fairs, Mormon Handicraft and bazaars. "My mother always said, "Don't ever sit and do nothing. She died 21 years ago and I still feel guilty," Mae said as she puts the final stitches to a star quilt she has quilted and bound for a friend in Casper, Wyo. Family pride dictates that the handwork be done perfectly. All the Strasbtirg sisters uwere brought up suar oitaded with needles, thread, embroidery hoops and quilting frames. And their expertise didn't come overnight. Years of practice makes perfect and if their quilts equalization program, however, we benefit from the wealth of other districts. It's the Robin Hood theory in effect, taking from the rich to give to the poor. Only in this case, it's for a worthy cause making sure all public school students in the state have an equal educational opportunity."
