Christmas is the time we become so busy thinking about others, we have little time to think about ourselves. Its the time we begin to discover peace within our hearts and suddenly feel that perhaps peace on earth is within reach. Prang perfected reproducing processes and sponsored art competitions to stimulate outstanding designs for his greeting cards. Many of his reproductions, involving as many as 15 colors, were so accurate they couldnt be distinguished from the originals. We can thank the holiday spirit of those living in die Victorian era for one of our nicest Christmas customs of all cheery, friendly greeting cards!

This was the conclusion reached by the Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization in their annual analysis of the condition of Utah state finances. According to the Foundation study, Utah should conclude the fiscal year present (1973-76- ) with a sizable surplus and balance its 1976-7state budget with no major tax increase. In fact, if the revenue and surplus outlook remain optimistic, there is a possibility that a tax reduction could be effected next ear. reveBased on the nue estimates prepared by Utah Foundation, the State could end fiscal year with a surthe 1973-7plus in excess of $23 million. The 1975-76- . budget approved by the 1975 Utah Legislature indicated that the ending surplus would be less than $2 million. Among the factors accounting for this ap in the parent improvement State's fiscal picture are the folmid-rang- e 6 lowing: 1.
