Show BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Brigham City, Utah Thursday, November 24, 1977 Community Education Corner Missionaries will talk Things are moving along quite well at the Adult Basic Center in Brigham City. We have classes going every day, morning, afternoon and evening at 339 East Seventh North. These classes are for people who are working toward a high school diploma or the general education exam. We still work mainly in the basic areas, but we are also working out specific projects or correspondence courses with various individuals in order to give them what they want and need. Our English classes for people who speak very little English are offered two mornings and two evenings a week. We not only work on the language, but also on good, everyday materials that will make it easier to live in Brigham City. Our classes have no specific starting day, so if anyone would like to work in any of these areas, just come out to the center, and well help you in whatever you need. We have excellent teachers, and really fun times, so do join us. For further information, call Shirley Paden, Speakers set in wards 1 David 25. Mary is played by Ann Seamons and David Garfield.

Nickolaisen of Bear River City, has recently returned from serving in the Chile Santiago South mission of the LDS church. He will report on his mission on Sunday, Nov. 27, at 12 noon in the Bear River City LDS ward.

Perry There is a rare treat indeed waiting for those who see the holiday season play, Mary, at Heritage theatre in Perry. The original production is scheduled for performances each Thursday, Friday and Saturday beginning Nov. 25 and continuing through Dec. 23. . An audience of about 60 persons viewed a dress rehearsal Saturday night. They were special guests, mostly local reli, o gious leaders. It was a tense evening filled with anxiety for LaRae Kenner Garfield who did the book. Although she has written previously, doing newspaper work, poetry and some stories, this was her first endeavor at a play. She neednt have worried. The dialogue was dazzling. And the original music scored (and played) by Jo Anne Petty Smith, was enchanting, delightful and warm, a captivating complement to Mrs. Garfields work. She composed 18 songs with lyrics for them written by Mrs. Garfield and Jeanne B. Wilson on whose original book the play is based. Anyone who fails to see Mary during this holiday time will be missing one of the truly precious gifts of the season. We liked it that much. Ann Seamons, a Utah State university coed from South Ogden. Not only her physical appearance (she is pretty) but her singing voice and natural sweetness suit her well for the part. And all the way from Provo as Joseph is David Garfield, a veteran of radio and some stage work. He projects the compas- sion, strength and understanding necessary for the role. The acting, for the most part, is superb for community theatre. ' Marie Davis as Elizabeth and Jack!' Furlong as' Leah especially bring a depth of feeling to the play that one can almost reach out and touch. Pesticide h A training session set Dec. A pesticide training workshop to certify farmers who need to purchase restricted pesticides will be held Wednesday, Dec. 1, in Tremonton. The workshop will be held In the civic center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The new federal pesticide law is now in effect and only those persons who are certified will be allowed to purchase pesticides which have been placed on the restricted list. The workshop Is being sponsored by Utah State University Extension service. It is the third and last Love Story is a love story. It is Mary believable, sensitive and tender with a depth be fitting the the source of its inspiration gospel according to St. Luke. The principals are Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Joseph who becomes her husband. The birth of the Christ child at Bethlehem climaxes the drama. As it should. But leading up to this sacred event are scenes which read between the lines of the scrip-tua- l account of Marys betrothel to Joseph, her special calling and conception and journey to Bethlehem. It wasnt easy finding someone to play Mary as you can imagine. But they did. Shes new find is Eugene Bott who plays Zemira, a gentle man, who is delightful as he sings to the neighborhood children, Be Kind and Dont Lose Your TemA per. And talk about impressive. Marlene M. Harper as Zina is the antithesis of goodness as she personifies the Jewish rejection of Jesus. The rich voice of Priscilla Brockway as Rachael is another bonus for those who attend. There is a spiritual quality about this play. It permeated the smalltheatre Saturday night. Quoting from this playgoers notes at one point: Wow, theyve got me crying. But even as deep as emotions ran, there were moments of lightness and humor. and When Im Me, too Josephs Wife were examples. And this line by Joseph as he and Mary prepare for their journey to Bethlehem: What if the child is born along the way? You two will survive nicely, but I probably will die of fright. More Than 1 workIn the county, according to Harold Lindsay, USU extension pesticide training shop to be held 50 cast numbers more than including children. They The 50, utilize the limited confines of the Heritage stage well. This is accomodated nicely by sets which are subtly effective and arranged to minimize the traction of scene changes. dis- Admittedly, the play was not perfect. There are some blemishes to be erased before opening night Friday. But it was a gem, sparkling, waiting for the rough edges to be polished. If you like a love story, woven together by threads of haunting music, one which teaches basic morals and gives an introduction to what the Christmas season really is all about, then plan to see at Heritage Mary theatre this holiday season. You can make reservations by calling To what extent are higher taxes and the increase in the cost of living eating into the income gains made recently by Box Elder County residents? How far does the weekly pay envelope go at the present time? Not much further than it did 10 years ago, it appears. Buying a car, for example, costs nearly as much now, in terms of the number of weeks of work necessary to earn it, as in 1967. The net gain in purchasing power has been small. A major factor in the increase in living costs has been taxes, ..According, to a study, made by thfe Tak foundation',' a organization concerned with the fiscal aspects of government. It finds that about a third of a workers earnings are being siphoned off for taxes. The figures indicate that taxes as a whole federal, cut deeper state and local into family budgets than any other single item. They add up to more, in fact, than is needed for food, housing and household operations combined. Relating the findings to Box Elder county and to the average level of income locally during the past year, it amounts to $5,800 per household. Calculated on the basis of an workday, the average taxpayer has to work 2 hours and 42 minutes of it to earn enough for his taxes. As for the remainder of the working day, 1 hour and 30 minutes is needed to pay for non-prof- it housing and household operations. Another 1 hour and 8 minutes on the job is for food and tabacco. Additional time must be put in for transportation expenses, which require 40 minutes, for medical and dental care, 26 minutes, for clothing, 25 minutes, and for recreation, 20 minutes. The remaining 49 minutes is for all other purposes, such as personal care, savings, education and discretionary spending in general. . According to the Tax Foundations findings, nearly most people's incomes are being allocated for food, clothing, shelter and taxes. . Applied to Box Elder County and to the average earnings in the local area in the past year, they total close to $12,300 per household.
