As you may know, Ken and Mrs. Hoyt recently had their home severely damaged by a fire which had started in their electric water heater, and just a few days ago, Ken had the water heater at the Levan post office get overheated and scorch a paper which was on top of it. I dont know all the ins and outs of water heaters" Ken says, but he urges home owners to check their water heaters to see if they are getting hot. He also urges them to keep flammable materials well away from the heater. According to Postmaster Ken, heaters can become shorted out in such a way that they wont blow their fuses but will continue to get hotter and hotter until flames erupt. Often times, he says, a faulty water AC hum on heater will cause a the telephone, or in the case of a party line, on several phones. The theory behind this is that the telephone may be grounded to the water system, causing a connection between the two applie, ances. Anyway, check your water heater occasionally. Under normal operation, it should not be terribly hot on the outside! If you have a hum in your phone line, pull the switch on your water heater and if this clears the noise, youd better call your plumber.

We can imagine that the spines on the pricklypear have given many a cow a pain in the legs (or elsewhere). Surely the cactus couldnt be eaten as is, so Department of Agriculture scientists have been testing ways to remove the spines from the cactus so that it can be used as a winter feeding supplement. Researchers have used propane torches to singe off the thorns, and are now looking for commercial ways to do the job. reg We can't vouch for the authenticity it was reported that at a recent auction sale this remark was heard: Sold to the lady with her husbands hand over her mouth.

Foundation analysts observe that over the past five years, salary schedules teachers in Utah for bachelor-degrehave been raised by $2,835 in Juab School District. The state also began paying the teachers share of employee retirement costs in 1972, which currently adds another $518 to the pay of a teacher with five years experience. In addition, teachers who had not reached the top step in the salary schedule have received annual experience increments totaling $1,470 over the period. Thus, according to the Foundation report, a teacher who began a teaching career in the Juab School District in 1971 with a beginning salary of $6,050 has received total salary increases amount to $4,823 or 79.7 percent over the past five years. In addition, if the teacher who began teaching five years ago had acquired added academic trainr ing, the salary boost during the period might be even greater. Although teacher salaries have also risen in most of the other states during recent years, the Foundation study points out that the strong gains made in Utah have closed the gap that formerly existed between Utah and the other Mountain States. Ten years ago, the average salary for classroom teachers in Utah was about five percent below the average of the eight mountain states. Classroom teachers with a bachelors degree in the Juab School District received a salary schedule increase averaging $690 or 7.2 percent this year. In addition to this general raise, most teachers not at the top bracket of the salary scale also received an experience increment averaging $363. Thus, the total salary increase for teachers in the Juab School District who have not reached the top setp in their salary schedules amounted to $1,053 this year. These were some of the facts pointed out in an analysis of teacher salaries prepared by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, and are based on the 1976-7- 7 salary schedules submitted to the State Board of Education by local school districts. Certified teachers with a bachelors degree in Juab School District will receive a beginning salary of $8,375 this year with a maximum salary of $12,005 received after ten years of service. Added amounts are paid to teachers with additional academic training. The maximum salary for a teacher with a masters degree this year, for example, is $13,655, which is 63 percent more than is paid to a beginning teacher with only a bachelors degree.

Moreover, as noted, the state pays most of the employees share of retirement costs in Utah, a benefit not generally available in the other states.
