As of December 10th, Utah citizens have contributed $27,000 to the fight against tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases, Mrs. Rampton announced. This compares favorably with the contributions during the same period of time in 1964. The total contributions in 1964 were just under $50,000, We hope Mrs. Rampton said. to top that figure this year. With the Utah Tuberculosis Eradication Program fully launched and the increased concern for the rising problems of emphysema, bronchitis and air pollution, there is great demand for the Christmas Seal financed work of the Utah Tuberculosis and Health Association. We urge those who havent answered their Christmas Seal letter with a contribution, to do Mrs. Rampton said. so now. It is so easy to lay aside your Christmas Seal appeal during this busy season. But it takes more' than good intentions to win the fight for better community health.

This state school levy could be reduced even further (possibly as low as 5.8 mills) if a realistic estimate is used next year in making preliminary calculations of the cost of the school program. The report points out, for example, that the preliminary estimates of the number of distribution units used in determining the cost of the school program for 1964-6- 5 were 255 higher than the final figures. The Foundation study states that the preliminary estimate of the number of distribution units for this also appear to be year (1965-6- 6) inflated by 200 units.
