J. Bracken Lee is an out-- , man, and , he doesnt hesitate to call a spade a spade even though it might alienate some of his supporters and make his opponents even more determined. The Governor was running true to form as the 1953 special session of the Utah Legislature opened. His opening message was a frontal attack on the Utah Education Association, which he charged, tried to bring about the special session s through sheer pressure and about the education problem. Then, when he got around to delivering his second speech to the lawmakers, the governor let the educators have the other barrel, claiming they were using a and psychology of fear declaring that the educators tried to silence all those who opposed them by attacking their critics with charges of being enemies of education. However many people in the state agreed with the chief executive . or disagreed for that matter - it was hard at the end of the first week of the legislative session to see whether the governor had picked up support for his ideas by his fiery speeches or whether he had alienated several persons who might otherwise have supported him By the end of the first week, the bulk of the proposals of the school survey commission had been enacted into law. Some had been revised by the Utah Legislative Council and still others underwent revision on the floor of the House or Senate. But when the box score began to come in, it was obvious that in most cases where the governor differed from the council, the lawmakers were either accepting the councils proposals or amending the bill in favor of the educators. The big tests, however, were still to come. By the beginning of the second week, the lawmakers were expected to run and into teacher retirement school financing, and in these fields the governor really will fight to get his legislative put into effect. The governor differs from the council in several respects in these Co.: Payable In Advance Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Duchesne, Utah CLIFTON N.

Xmas Tree Cutting Limited To Local Christmas tree cutting on the Ashley National Forest will be limited this year to approximately the needs of local communities, according to Forest Supervisor Wm. D. Hurst. Also, all trees taken must be under permit and designated for cutting by the Ranger in charge of the area from which the trees are taken. Restricted cutting is necessary to prevent a surplus of trees from being taken, and to protect trees along the scenic routes of the forest. In 1952, 490 native Christmas trees were unsold on Christmas day in Vernal alone. This repover cut since resents a 27 only 1350 Christmas trees were sold and used in Vernal during Christmas of last year. A Christmas tree not used is a total loss both to the vendor and to the watershed from which it came.. Because most Christmas trees that should be cut are difficult to reach, individual permits for Christmas trees will not be issued in the Vernal or Roosevelt areas this year. There will be a number of dealers in the Basin having high quality trees for sale at a reasonable price, and there will be plenty of trees to meet the demand of the two communities. Everyone purchasing a Christmas tree should make certain it is properly tagged. The Utah State law requires that all Christmas trees be tagged, Mr. Hurst said. ARTHRITIS?

Therefore, I would like to tell you what has been done with the contributions from last year. First, of a meager $250 contributed, half was sent to the state organization to support the state Tuberculosis Hospital, in Ogden, and to fight T. B. on a national scale. The remainder stayed here in your county for local use We had the State Mobile Unit in September, X-ra- y however, in providing added funds for districts where the taxpayers will go for additional levy through election. The council sets a ceiling of 10 per cent leeway through election while the governor sets his sights at 16 per cent leeway. The governors plan would proprovide a gram up to $4,450 with additional local aid available if the citizens want it and should be adequate for immediate education needs, the governor feels. Among other things, the rest of the Lee program on education would provide for election of school boards all at one time, do away with state aid for the school lunch program, turn the four per cent liquor tax money into the minimum school fund and set up financial aid with a rider that future salary raises would be made with an eye toward merit increases rather than blanket allocations. The' chief executive would also like to see the state abandon, as of next June, Snow, Dixie and Carbon Junior Colleges and the vocational schools of the state, located in Provo and Salt Lake City. The governors pet bill on teacher merit ratings and incentive pay got rough handling in the first week of the legislature. How the rest of the gov ernors program will fare remains to be seen. The only sure thing apparent in the first week of the session was that all the legislators, no matter what their personal beliefs, were anxious to get the school issue settled and go home state-supporte- i Among BYU Nursing Students Norma Tew, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Burton E.

Perhaps by such a study, more and better trained nurses can be obtained locally.. With the approach of Christmas, comes a real chance to aid this fight against Tuberculosis. Remember 940 of every dollar contributed stays in Utah to fight tuberculosis. In last years Christmas Seal sale the national average was 15 cents per person. Utah was the lowest in the nation with 4.4 cents per person, and Duchesne County was even lower with 3 cents. Seal sales in our seven neighboring states were from 2 to 5 times better than ours.

Gov. Lee has already promised, through his GOP leaders in the House and Senate, that he will act on measures passed as rapidly as possible and will turn back to the legislature any vetoed items in time for the lawmakers to act on the veto before adjourning the session. The real battles between Lee and the educators will be in the field of retirement and school finances. The governor favors a 100 per cent plan of integration with social security for the retirement program. The council -- and want the 70 per the teachers cent plan. Benefits are higher under the 70 per cent plan, but the 100 per cent plan will cost the state less to put into effect and will cost the individual teacher less. For example, the 70 per cent integration plan calls for an initial outlay of $1,474,000, which is $278,000 over the initial cost of the other plan at $1,206,000. A teacher with 33 years of service can, under the 70 per cent plan, retire at $166.93 per month while paying into the plan $18. per month. The same teacher under the 100 per cent plan would get $141.43 per month retirement but would only have to pay $16 40 a month, In finance, the governors program would get the schools $935,000. in additional aid this year by giving them a classroom unit fund based on current enrollments rather than last years figures. This money, the governor says, could be raised immediately by borrowing from the surplus in the $2,157,000 emergency building fund appropriation. The governor agreed with the council that a uniform local levy of 10 mills be assessed to get a $3,450 classroom unit figure, graduated up to a 12 mill levy for a $4,050. program. But on local leeway, the governor wants a 14 per cent leeway with a local levy not to exceed 4 mills while the council wants a 23 Vis per cent leeway and a maximum 6 mill local levy. The governor tops the council, 1952. The total number of people examined was 1918, or about 35 per cent of the county population. However, everyone had the opportunity to be examined. Of this number 6 cases of Tuberculosis were found and furand examinations ther on these cases were paid for by our association. Also by this routine survey, 4 suspected cancers were found and 31 cases Cs 1 1 W Relief Society Helds Bazaar ( FOR A The Relief Society of the Myton LDS ward, sponsored a bazaar and family evening, Monday, at the ward chapel.
