Ulah t a B Highway Maintenance in Full Swing DAY Urges Vets Graves Marked Bound for Kansas College Baptist Church Leader to Leave 9 For Memorial Day tfiSJS-cy- s THE FOLLOWING article was sent to us and proved so interesting, we would like to publish the authors thinking for The Magna column. The Times Thinking name of the contributor was not given. Its good material for one to seriously consider especially since all of us have just finished paying our income tax. Here 'tis: The graves of hundreds of Utah veterans remain unmarked and are being forgotten, according to George L. Carey, National Service Officer for the Disabled American Veterans. Hey , Uncle! MAINTENANCE Operation! are now in full swing on Utah's 5,800 miles of highways. Patching, repairing signs and guard rails are all part Uncle, how much does it to rear a child? You allow us taxpaying parents only $600 a year to feed, clothe, house and train a youngster. In your Federal Job Corps you spend $7,000 a year! This is quite a difference! HEY, Now, which is the correct figure? Either were allowing you too much or youre not allowing us enough. You allow taxpaying parents a $600 deduction for the care and feeding of each child . . , A sure sign of spring is to see a man out planting, painting or washing and maintenance crews from the Utah State Department of Highways are doing just that. Maintenance operations are now in full swing along Utahs 5,800 miles of state highways. Highway maintenance is a big business in Utah with $8 million annually set aside for this operation. Among the many items involved in highway maintenance are snow removal, patching, implacement (of signs and guardrails and picking up litter. Tho litter bill alone amounts to over $90,000 per year, although this has been reduced substantially from the $125,- - of the familiar scenes Involved in highway maintenance. Removal of highway litter at $90,000 a year is also part of the maintenance. 000 figure that the state paid in 1965. Another major item of highway maintenance is the painting of traffic lane stripes, shoulder lines on the highway and along the curbing. This year the highway department has contracted for 760,000 pounds of reflective beads and for 87,000 gallons of white paint and 53,000 gallons of yellow for its striping operations. The white and yellow paint is sufficient to paint all of the houses in the cities of Provo and Ogden. Henry C. Helland, director of highways, indicated that it takes about 16 gallons of paint and 96 pounds of beads for each lineal (Continued on Back Page) Mr. Carey continues by saying, The United States government will furnish either a bronze marker or an upright marble headstone for the grave of any man or woman whose U.S. military service was honorable, but an application must be made and by a close relative of the deceased wherever possible. In the event there are no survivors, then any person who will accept the refor receiving and sponsibility erecting a headstone or marker may apply for one. On Memorial Day many such unmarked graves are missed by the veterans organizations and other groups who try to mark each former servicemans final resting place with a flag.

DO NOT PARK IN Compared to Cubans CROSS-WALK- Yet under the Cuban refugee program you assume minimum upkeep requires $1,200 a year and if the Cuban boy or girl is attending school an extra $1,000 a year. How come you shortchange the home folks?

What makes, you think i we can maintain our younguns on $50 a month? And, Uncle, your VISTA program (Volunteers in Service to America) spent $3.1 million last year to train only 202 trainees, That indicates that the cost of maintaining and training one youth for one year is more than one-four- th $15,000. Then how come we taxpaying parents get an exemption of only $600 to maintain and train one youth for the year? Or, lets see how much you spent upkeeping one youngster in military uniform.

With your figures, you admit it cant be done. Is it possible, Uncle, that you expect us parents to manage more efficiently than you, because we usually do. With all our expenses, we American individuals have more than enough savings to offset our debts; you dont. Uncommonly Extravagant With all our prosperity, you, Uncle, are still spending per year $2.9 billion more for relief than during the depths of the depression. So it may be that you are uncommonly extravagant. But, however, we try to rationalize and explain you, it is still a hurtful affront when you allow us hard working home folks only $600 a year to rear a legitimate child while you, under ADC, will pay more than $800 a year to upkeep an Illegitimate one.
