Mom and Dad will be 30 years old this December, and the love and appreciation that we child- ren feel for our parents as we ponder over our family life, makes us happily and proudly realize that when we had a chance to choose our parents, we chose wonderful ones. Dad, (George Ernel Jensen) was born December 10, 1892, in Redmond, Utah to James Peter and Annie M. Johnson Jensen. As Dad tells us of his childhood, we realize that they were poor, but happy. Their house was adobe with a willow, mud and straw roof. Once when the roof began to sag, his father put in the center of the roof a quaken aspen pole to hold it up. The children called it the May Pole. My grandmother (Dads mother) was very wise and if there was nonsense or fighting, she tactfully found a chore for them to do. There was always chips that needed to be gathered or an extra bucket of water to be brought in from the ditch. Mom, (Anna Leah Winkler Jensen) was born on December 16, 1892 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah to Hans Ulrich and Magdalena Hafen Winkler. There were sixteen children around the table when mother was born.

Teaching school was a dream fulfilled. Dad met mother while she was teaching school in Redmond. Their first date was a walk along the river ditch. Dad even drove to Salina with a horse and buggy to date Mom as she was there staying with her cousin who had a new baby. They fell in love and were married in the Manti Temple on May 16, 1917. They have lived all of their married life in Redmond, where Dad has been a farmer and a turkey grower. To this union were born five children: OrLee, who died in 1969; Rex, who died at the age of 12; Carrol, who resides in Salt Lake City; LaPreal, who lives in Sepulveda, California; and Robert, who resides in Riverton, Utah.

He made the day special when we would drive by the store and suckers or a get some all-dsquare of chocolate. He would let us leave work early during pheasant hunt and my sister and I would scare up the pheasants for my brothers to shoot. We always had a garden and bottled fruits and vegetables, it seemed, by the bushel. Late in the fall, when the cellar was full and the bottles were all full and stood in neat rows, the flour, sack upon sack in the corner, potatoes and carrots in the bin, my mother would go down and just look. How happy and thankful she must have been as she viewed our accomplishments, and knew that we had done it all as a family! Both my mother and father have been active in the L.D.S. Church and in civic work. Dad ay has served in MIA as a counselor, in the Elders Qjorum, as Secretary and chairman of the Geneological Committee.

The overall average tax rate in the cities surveyed was reduced from 89.07 mills in 1971 to 86.38 mills in 1972. The major factor in this decline was a 2.6 mill reduction in the state levy for support of local schools. The state school levy is established each year to balance revenues in the uniform school fund against expenditure requirements of the fund. Some major mill rate reductions were experienced in ten counties which were revalued this year. In several instances, the declines amounted to 20 mills or more.

Foundation analysts emphasize that in such Instances mill rate reductions do not necessarily mean a decline in the tax burden. In many cases, the correction of underassessments for some taxpayers under the revaluation program more than offsets the mill levy reductions. The report notes that there has been a decided leveling off in Utah property tax mill rates during recent years. For example, the average overall mill sponsored by Utah State University without cost to Salina.
