Show Letters To The Editor Dear Editor: May I take this opportunity in your Letters to the Editor column to express in behalf of the Tooele Education Association our thanks for printing a number of my letters during the past year. Not only are we grateful for the opportunity to express some views of teachers, but also for the coverage of some of our activities, such as the retiring teachers banquet and our scholarship presentations. May . we also thank Jack Tranter for his work. Our teachers have been greatly concerned throughout the past year that their salaries might be improved at least to a point of keeping up with inflation, and hopefully that some further improvement might see their salaries reflect the expenditure .of time and money spent to obtain a college degree as well as reflecting the responsibility their jobs require. Though the recent settlement with the Tooele County Board of Education did not obtain all that we hoped, the settlement, in our view, was accomplished through very responsible consideration of all factors involved. It was also done in an atmosphere of mutual respect I would hope that the public would appreciate the difficulty that we as teachers face in improving our salaries. There is a breed of taxpayer who takes the view that he indeed is paying the schoolteachers wages out of his own pocket while at the same time failing to acknowledge that the rest of us through taxes (federal) or profit margin are paying his salary as well. Certain groups such as the Utah Taxpayers Association (which incidentally does not represent the majorthere are about ity of taxpayers 275 members) and the Utah Foundation capitalize on this view and make salary improvement very difficult. An individual might ask himself how well he would do financially if his neighbor were to decide what he was worth. Many people would be considered Yet most people with the exception of public servants are able to avoid this evaluation. Not so with the teacher. He must go directly to the public, his employer, and ask for a raise and thereby subject himself to evaluations of his performance based usually on the most meager information. Hopefully, our County will continue the positive attitude over-paye- d. JOIN towards The 1970 wheat allotment for Tooele County is 5,050 acres, according to L. W. Matthews, Chairman of the Tooele County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Individual farm allotments will be education mailed as soon as possible, he said. The ASCS county office staff have they shown in the past, an attitude shown in its desire for good facilities and equipment, in its support of introduction of new techniques, and of primary imin a desire to attract portance the best young people from our colleges to teach here, and keep them here with a remuneration commensurate with the responsibility of working with ' the minds of our young people. Karl Swan Former President, Tooele Education Association Dear Editor: Sunday afternoon as my daughter and I were coming home from town we were suddenly pulled to an abrupt halt by a young man on a motorcycle. He ordered us to stop and told us to get out of the car because it was on fire. Neither of us had noticed it and were astonished at his action. However his forceful manner made us do as he said. We turned off the ignition key and quickly left the car. Then we removed our groceries. The young man, in the meantime, had rushed to a house, turned on the water hose, and proceeded to quench the fire. A neighbor came along and gave my daughter and me a ride home. We were quite excited at the time and forgot to get his name. Also he rode away before I could thank him. So, I am taking this opportunity to say Thank You to a nice young man for his efforts in our behalf.

A DIVERSION program at the maximum payment rate of 50 per cent of county loan rates is aimed at avoiding production of 80 to 90 million bushels of unneeded wheat. This feature will allow producers to tailor their plantings by diverting up to one-ha- lf of their acreage allotments while incomes maintaining through diversion payments. 3. The national wheat acreage allotment of 45.5 million acres is designed to reduce stocks and reverse the three-yea- r upward trend in carryover levels. This is a 12 per cent reduction from the 1969 national allotment of 51.6 million acres. 4. Wheat marketing certificates will be paid on 48 per cent of the projected production on the allotted acres of participating producers. For 1969, certificates at a record $1.52 per bushel are being paid on 43 per cent of projected production. They are adding more than $800 million to the farm value of wheat. Payments per bushel reflecting the difference between wheat parity on July 1, 1970, and the average loan rate of $1.25 a bushel will be as high or higher for the 1970 crop. 882-186- 882-019- So Sorry StCI-DO- O is preparing and checking the allotment notices. The county ASC committee is doing everything it can to speed the process, including meeting as often as needed to set allotments. ALL WHEAT allotment notices will be mailed at one time and our target date is Sept. 1, 1969, the ASC county committee chairman said. The 1970 national wheat allotment of 45.5 million acres was announced by Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin on August 1 1. This is a 12 per cent reduction from the 1969 national allotment of 51.6 million acres. The 1970 wheat allotment for Utah is 237,559 acres. In 1969 it was 269,587 acres. The 1970 Tooele County wheat allotment of 5,050 acres compares with 5.728 acres allotted in the county for 1969. "THE 1970 wheat program is expected to help give the nation a better position in world trade while at the same time it tries to bring wheat production more into line with needs, said the ASC chairman. Features of the 1970 wheat program, according to Chairman Matthews, include: 1. The national average price support loan level will be $1.25 per bushel. Unchanged from recent years, this level is being maintained in an effort to achieve maximum utilization of wheat through increased exports and continued large livestock feed use Sincerely, Mrs. L. J.

Nam Poll Results Performance Clrclf Aii rew Over 11,600 Utahns responded to a questionnaire submitted to them by Rep. Laurence J. Burton, and indicated overwhelming opposition to a guaranteed annual income. THE PEOPLE of Utah once again said, in effect, that they want to work for their pay, as 90.6 per cent responded no to the question of a guaranteed income, Rep. Burton said. And over (76.6 per cent) of those who responded are also against the rising tide of pornography which is infiltrating our mails. On the subject of the Post Office itself, 63.6 per cent said they favored the transition of the Post Office Department into a government- owned corporation to opbasis. erate on a Concerning the that expanded Johnson land-gra- b the size of two of our southern Utah national monuments, nearly 74 per cent thought a President should not have this power. THE UTAH Congressman reported there was increased interest in lowering the voting age to 18, with 35.5 per cent in favor of this proposition. The distressing fact that drug abuse is on the increase in Utah as elsewhere brought an number (91.4 overwhelming War per cent) in favor of an all-oon this problem, Burton said. And 67.8 per cent favor a portion of federal income tax money being returned to the states for local use. CONCERNING a proposed increase in grazing fees, almost 50 per cent said they were not in favor. But what surprised me is that almost 20 per cent had not made up their minds on this issue, which is so vital to our Utah ItumJ 4.50 - 3.50 - 2.50 American farmers will be feeding a population in the United States of 235 million hy 1980.

Wood cIS Much Hums With Activity THE OPTION under which a producer can substitute the planting of wheat for feed grains or feed grains for wheat in any combination will be available. This increases farm efficiency by providing producers the flexibility of adjusting acreages to field sizes and of producing the more suitable crop for their particular operations. Details of the 1970 wheat acreage allotment program will be publicized just as soon as we on the county committee become fully acquainted with them, said Mr. Matthews. In general he said, the details will be much the same as for the 1969 crop. He pointed out that payments to be made would be subject to any limitations that might Ire required by Congress. The ASC chairman' also said, Wheat farmers in Tooele County will be interested in Secretary Hardins comments when he announced the voluntary wheat program. Mr. Hardin stated: THERE ARE areas of hopefulness for improved world wheat trade. Following recent sessions of the major exporters, we are moving toward recognition of our determination to maintain the U.S. share of world wheat trade. However, 1968-6- 9 marketing year is the third consecutive one for reduced international trade, putting severe pressures on the world wheat industry. With surpluses piling up in the worlds major exporting nations as a result of large crops in recent years, the U.S. cannot go on producing an excessive quantity of wheat which would only lead to larger and larger acquisitions and storage costs. The 1970 crop wheat allotment announced meets this problem squarely. Mr. Hardin continued: Our carryover on July 1 this year was around 800 million .bushels. In view of the 1969 U.S. crop prospects and the world wheat oversupply situation, it is likely there will be an additional buildup of U.S. stocks by July 1, 1970. The 1970 allotment is aimed at securing a modest reduction of our national carryover. The 1970 program is expected to produce about 1,200 million bushels of wheat. by Beth Clark 5. ut trade-i- n Erda News 1970 Wheat Program The Tooele Transcript, Fri., August 22, 1969 9.
