OUR READERS WRITE j : Stockholm, Sweden, Tuesday, Dec. 30, 1958. Dear Mr .Claybaugh and , Office Staff: I am a missionary, now stationed in Stockholm, Sweden, and I wanted to write and thank you very much for sendmg me the paper and keeping me up on the news of Brigham City. I have been here in Sweden now for 21 months and Ive enjoyed my mission very much and I have met many different kinds of people. People here m Sweden are a little indifferent to religion, but there are a few that will listen. Swedish people are very polite and the members are very helpful to the missionaries. I have worked in the following cities: Jonkoping, Malerio, Vastesis and Stockholm First Branch. I am now working with my sixth companion. I am enjoying Stockholm very much. Last summer I attended the London temple dedication which I enjoyed very much. at Greetings to everyone home. Sincerely, Eller Richard B. Carlson, Svartensgotau 3, Stockholm, Sweden.

Taxes both direct and hidden took 30 cents out of every dollar received by Utahns last year, the study continues. The total tax burden was equal to $520 per capita or approximately for the average family of four persons. According to the report, federal taxes accounted for 64 percent, state taxes for 20 percent, and local taxes for 16 percent of the total tax burden. This is almost a direct reversal of the situation in 1930 when local taxes accounted for 48 percent, state taxes for 28 percent and federal taxes for 24 percent of the total taxes paid by Utahns that year. Government continued to play an important role in the Utah economy during 1958, Foundation analysts observe. Nearly one out of every four employees in Utah last year was working for some unit of government federal, state, or local. The number of governmental employees in Utah increased 169 percent between 1940 and 1958, compared with a rise of 83 percent in private employment (nongovernmental) during the same period. More For Education The year 1958 was a big year for education in Utah, the study notes. Utah spent more than education $102.9 million for (public schools, higher education,, and other education) during fiscal 1958. This amount was equivalent to 7.14 percent of the total personal income of all individuals in the state. Most of the rise in educational expenditures last year resulted from liberalization of the state school-aiformula by the 1957 Utah Legislature. State and local funds provided to Utah public schools exceeded $70.7 million, equal to 4.9 percent of Total Utah income. public school revenues were up $12 million from 1957, the largest increase in any single year in Utah history. Expenditures for other major functions also governmental rose during 1958, the report continues. The recession experienced in Utah during the early months of 1958 resulted in an increase in welfare and unemployment costs. Also contributing to the rise in welfare expenditures last year was the establishment of an expanded medical care program for welfare recipients.

New groups endorsing the protective legislation are the Utah Osteopathic Association of Medicine and Surgery: Utah State Association of Chiropodists and Utah State Nurses association. According to executive secretary Harold Bowman of the Utah State Medical association, groups endorsing the basic science bill at an earlier date included the Utah State Dental association assoand Utah Pharmaceutical ciation. Would Require Exams Under the proposed legislation, persons wishing to practice medicine, surgery, osteopathic surgery, chiropractic and drugless medicine or naturopathy would take examinations in five basic sciences. These would include anatomy, physiology, chemistry, pathology and hygiene. The proposed examinations would be prepared and administered by a panel of scientists from the University of Utah, Utah State Lniversity and Brigham Young University.

Last year, $28.9 million was spent on the state highway system, $2.7 million in state aid was distributed for use on focal roads, and $5.9 million in local funds were expended on city streets and county roads. Foundation officials point out that Utah is one of the fastest growing states in the nation. Utahs population, estimated at 865.000 on July 1, 1958, has increased 25.5 percent since 1950, compared with a national rise of 15.0 percent during this same period, pnly seven of the 48 states have had a greater relative growth than Utah. Population to Increase Utahs population growth trend is expected to continue, the report states. According to the atest projections, Utah population may reach 905,000 by 1960; 1.065.000 by 1965, 1,265,000 by 1970, and 1,475,000 by 1975. Personal income has also increased markedly in Utah with an expanding economy. Total personal income in Utah, which was $1,442,000,000 in 1957, increased 62 percent since 1950 and 436 percent since 1940. Nationally, the Increase in personal income was 53 percent between 1940 and 1957, and 340 percent between 1940 and 1957. Despite the relatively greater rise in total personal Income, Utahs per capita personal income of $1,694 during 1957 was still 16.4 percent below the per capita income of $2,027 for the entire nation. Utahs rank among the 48 states in per capita income, however, improved from 32nd in 1956 to 30th in 1957. Breaded Treasure Brand Frozen 10 550 S HRIMP Bob Ross oz. pkg.

One asked the location of the cloak room and was told to take the first dOor to the right and go down three steps. Due to the liquor-loggecondition of his brain, he got the elevator door by mistake and fell five stories to the basement. His friend watched his sudden departure and leaning through the door called out: What are you doing down there? After a short pause the answer came floating up the shaft: Hanging up my coat.
