Because of his faithfulness, the Rev. Ignatius Strancar, pastor of the St. Helens Catholic Church, has been transferred to preside over the Park City parish. While a resident of the Uintah Basin as pastor over the small St. Helens parish, Rev. Strancar gave unselfishly of his time and talents to aid the cause of Catholicism in this area. He was loved universally by his people, and highly respected by the entire community in which he served. Our compliments go to this spiritually minded foreign-bor- n pastor, who was a vicitim of the dictators heel in the Russian occupied countries. He was handicapped by not being able to speak and write English when he came to this great free country. This handicap was not a barrier and' Rev. Strancar fulfilled his responsibility to the Catholic people very capably. This newspaper wishes Rev. Strancar the best of luck in his new field and extends a welcome to his successor, Rev. Francis (Frank) Pellegrino, who comes here from the Notre Dame Parish in Price. His youth and pleasant personality should make the new pastor of St. Helens a popular leader for the Catholic people in this area. AN ALARMING SITUATION ! Despite the alarming fact that government competition with private enterprise threatens the basic rights and liberties inherent in our economic system, there remain hundreds even thousand of examples of it. In the Defense Department alone there are some 2,500 commercial and manufacturing establishments providing services and turing out goods in competition with private business, the Hoover Commission has found. Urging adoption of the Commissions recommendations for economy and efficiency in government, which it is estimated, Senator Norris Cot-- ' would save the taxpayers some $5. ton of New Hampshire recently suggested that voters urge their Congressmen to adopt the Commissions recommendation, and added: No King ever wielded a scepter more powerful that a 5 cent pencil in the hands of an American citizen when he sits down to write his Congressman or Senator! 30 FARM and HOME iute: rrl ffTATf AGRICULTURAL OOUW BtTOBO BRV1CS Mary Lois Reichert Agent HOME FREEZERS Ownership of home freezers by farm families has increased rapidly during the past few years. For the state as a whole, it is estimated the 77 percent of the farm families now have home freezers, according to Rhea H. Gardner, home management specialist at Utah State Agricultural College. Convienience and time saving in marketing and meal preparation are factors which have contributed to the popularity of freezers. or not home But whether freezers save money has not been so clear, Mrs. Gardner says. She adds that the purchase price of a home freezer is just one of the costs to be considered. Annual operating costs must allow for depreciation, interest on the investment, and repairs for the freezer as well as cost of electricity for operating and materials for packaging the food. The life expectancy of a freezer is estimated at 12 years, Mrs. Gardner says. Depreciation is computed by assuming that the original purchase price will be replaced in 12 equal annual installments, and that these installmenes will be invested at 3 percent interest. Since the interest will add considerably to the fund, the annual installment need not of the purbe a full chase price. Operating costs depend on the size and design of the freezer, the capacity of the compressor, the freezers location and the local electric rate. All costs except cost of packag- ing are the same regardless of Home Demonstration one-twelf- amount of food frozen and stored. Therefore, the larger the quanity of food, the lower the freezeing cost per pound. Highest financial return for its investment in a home freezer will go to the family that produces its own food for freezing, and keeps using the food and storing more as space becomes available, so that there is a rapid turnover. Self-Employ- ed Farmers Can Get Insurance These months are of special farmsignificance to ers, ranchers and all others who work for themselves in some kind of agricultural enterprise. It is possible for them to become insured under the social security law after they have credits of at least $400 in both calendar years 1955 and 1956. Many farmers did not realize that they have an option under the law that allows them to report one-haof their gross for social security even though their net $400. If your gross was at least $800 in 1955 and you did not pay your social security taxes, it is not too late for you to do so. It will be necessary for you to file an amended tax return with the Director of Internal Revenue, and tax that pay the will be due. Farmers 65 and older can retire and start receiving their monthly e benefits now, if they have filed this return and can show a gross of at least $800 in 1956. If you have any questions regarding any part of this program or other phases of the social security law you may see John W. Wainwright, Field Representative of the Salt Lae City District Office, on his next visit to this area. He will be in room 3, New County Courthouse, Duchesne, at 3:00 p.m. on June 19, and at the City Hall Roosevelt on June 20 at 9:00 a.m. lf old-ag- From where I sit ... ly Joe Marsh n, ' ... er on Memorial Day and Thursday Miss Meryle Bate's who has been in Tooele for a weeks vacation came home with them.

Youll be able to claim a refund of 2 cents per gallon of gas used for farming on your farm from January 1, 1956 to July 1, 1956. Claims are to be filed with the Bureau of Internal Revenue between June 30 and October 1 of this year. Forms for filing the claim are available at your County Agents office, located in the Frandsen Building. What You Need To Do to Get This Refund (1) Determine the gallons of gas bought since January 1 for use on the farm. Some of you will merely need to add the gallons used as recorded in your farm account book, (Lets hope you recored the amount as well as the cost.) If you use our new Utah Farm Family Account Book youll probably have this data since we provided a column to enter this data. (Forgive us for the plug.) Others will have to search for delivery receipts, paid bills, cancelled checks, or perhaps an obliging supplier who will dig back through his accounts to get this information for you. (2) Determine the amount of gas used on the farm for farming purposes. Gas used in vehicles on county, state or public roads is not eligible for this federal refund. Since most of our farms are scattered and since we must travel public roads to do our farming and since many farmers have bulk delivery and pump gas into cars and trucks as well as tractors, some estimate must be y made of the amount of gas used on the farm for farming purposes. This will include gas which you used on your farm and gas which a custom operator used on your farm doing custom work. Since any of us may be called upon to explain or justify the figures in our claim we must have good reasons or explanations for these items To arrive at the amounts used on the farm where some of the amount purchased is used on county or state roads, youll need to divide your gas between highway and farm use. In doing this, adopt some method which is reasonable and which you can justify. Such information as hours of use, consumption per hour, miles traveled and amount used in this travel, etc., will help you arrive at the figures for your farm. Keep the figures you use to make this division; they may be questioned and therefore needed by you later to explain your claim. (3) Secure a claim form No. 2240 of Internal. Revenue, complete it and file it after June 30, REPORT 12.20-13.7- crime wave in Having a red-htown. Specs McGuire and Buck Hanson were caught taking money to rado Springs on Sunday to take Arthur Rowley back to his base after a visit at home. A theif entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Milt Larsen one night last week and appropriated between $25 and $27 from the wallet of an uncle who was staying with them and $7.00 from Mrs Larsens purse. This was accomplished white the family was asleep. The screen door on the back door had been propped' open with one of Mr. Larsens irrigation boots which were beside the door. Mr. Larsen found the door propped open when he arose in the morning. The money was not missed until along in the middle of the day when the uncle was paying for some gasoline which he had purchased at a service station in Duchesne. The wallet was in its usual pocket but it was completly emptied of cash. There are no clues as to who the culprit is. Murdock By Bob Livestock Market 0 Just the Facts, Ma'am!
