The Cyprus Jaycees Committee for the Study of Incorporation for Magna, LaMar Maddy, chairman of the group, has given the first official report on one of the various incomes that would be a part of the budget of Magna if Magna were a city. The Slate Tax Commission has established that the local option sales tax collected in Magna for 1962 was $47,142.00. of one per cent sales tax that is now This is the being paid by Magna residents on each and every purchase in Magna a fund now being paid to Salt Lake County for general ' use in the county.

In addition to this levy, Magna also pays several indirect taxes. The liquor profit apportionment of $1.11 per person that would go to Magna City, now is allocated to Salt Lake County. Fees from automobile registration, known as Class B and C road funds, would also be available to Magna City. Figures on this division will be verified by the Bureau of Economic Research at the University of Utah. This fund will also be explained and made available for the knowledge of Magna citizens in the near future.

SCHWEITZER was asked by Yousuf Karsh, the faALBERT mous photographer, how he thought Christ would be received if He were to appear in our time. Schweitzer replied quietly: People would not understand Him at all. then, did he consider the most important of the Ten Commandments? Mr. Karsh says that Dr. Schweitzers granite face was at once illuminated, the man behind the legend suddenly visible. Christ gave only one commandment, he said. And that was Love.

Mr. Neldon Jones, secretary of the Jaycees and secretary of the committee, is in charge of this study phase. As figures become available, verified and authentic, a tentative budget will be prepared for the consideration of local residents, for them to study with a possible view of incorporating Magna. Thus, a budget will tell the townspeople exactly how much, in dollars and cents, it will cost each home owner to live in a city and to enjoy benefits that will accrue from city government. A spot check of Magna home owners shows that most tax levy is all that is paid to people believe that the Salt Lake County by Magna residents. A levy on Magna's assessed valuation of $5,670,000, means that Magna pays $68,000 approximately to Salt Lake County. However, preliminary investigation by the Jaycee committee, shows that almost $140,000 is now being paid to Salt Lake County by Magna citizens, not only through direct taxes by the mill levy, but also in liquor funds. Class B road funds, sales tax and other sources.

Still, professionals find thai people who come for help are often overwhelmed with feelings of failure because they were not able to solve their problems alone. But seeking aid is considered a sign of strength, not weakness. In all mental and emotional difficulties, early diagnosis and prompt treatment are vital. It is extremely important to recognize the signs of impending trouble, and to understand that going to an expert for emotional problems is just as sensible as going to a doctor to cure a cough.

Should your teen-agbe encouraged to go steady? A team of social scientists headed by Dr. Winston Ehrmann, quizzed more than 1,000 college students on their dating habits and found some answers to questions that trouble parents of teenagers. Dr. Ehrmann is professor of sociology at Colorado State University and former director of the Marriage and Family Clinic at Florida University. Dr. Ehrmann reveals that girls who confessed to go steady being more adventurous in the cuddling department than girls who date many different boys. On the other hand, boys who go steady often refuse to take advantage of their possibilities out of consideration for their er afore-mention- reasonable, ethical approach to compiling and reporting data relative to an investigation of incorporation. From time to time, as information becomes available, the committee will report to the people through columns of the Magna girls. Just what youngsters do and how far they go when they are dating seems to depend primarily on the attitude and behavior of their parents toward each other. For all modern parents difficulties in communicating with their Dr. Ehrmann says the parents still exert a major influence on their childrens habits.
