In Nov; BE Greenhouse At least one Box Elder county employee is constantly getting hot under the collar these days. He Is Norman Jackson, gard-ene- r for the courthouse grounds and Pioneer Memorial Nursing home. Hes getting hot under the collar and everyplace else because he spends so much time In a newly.constructed county greenhouse. And on these balmy Indian summer days, tempera-ture- s In the greehouse make for warm work. The new structure, feet in size and located on the courthouses south side, was built as an Investment to cut down future landscaping costs. 0 Jackson said this week that he already had potted 400 geran-lum-s from the original 70 plant, ed this year. He also has about 300 coleus plants, a gift from the Logan LDS temple, and a variety of other plants tagged for planting next spring. THE GREENHOUSE proper was built at a cost of $600 but the final bill will also Include the cost of an adjoining tool shed. Heat Is being provided from the courthouse system through a duct extension. In addition to saving money, the greenhouse gives Jackson the advantage of growing exactly the flowers and other plants which he intends to use. This past summer, he spent considerable time shopping for Just what he wanted. THIS PAST SUMMER, THE county spent $551 at the court' house alone for plants to dress up the grounds.

WHAT IS YOUR ESTIMATION OF THE education situa. tlon In Utah and what recommendations do your have for deal, lng with It? Moss Utah already spends more of Its Income on schools than does any other state. Yet because of our large families and our limited tax base we stand 35th In expenditures. We must face up to the need for more revenue. The federal government Is the only source of revenue left to us. Our school revenues are based mainly on property taxes, and the federal government own most of the prop, erty, It Is only right that federal funds be added to state and county funds to help with the costs of good schooling for our children. Many In Utah seem to feel that federal aid would be some, thing new and radical. We already have impacted area aid, national defense educa. tlon aid, aid for higher education. None has brought the slight-es- t degree of federal control. per-pup- ll Wilkinson Utah and every state has a difficult problem In financing her schools because of the population boom fol. lowing World War H. Federal aid to education has been proposed as one answer. This would have to be given to each state In proportion to its number of students, so that wed only get back from the federal government virtually the same as we paid in taxes, minus federal costs. This would not be helpful; wed merely be paying more taxes to Washington than to our state. Furthermore, proposed federal aid bills would cut out the approximately $500,. 000 we now get from Washington for areas that have federal defense Installations. I go along with Utahs 40 boards of education whove rejected federal aid. We would gain nothing by It. Our own state legislature can best handle It. Q. TO WHAT EXTENT DO you think the new media have WINDOW BROKEN given fair coverage to the cur. rent election campaign?
