It looks like another Rodello, a member of the Utah Press Women, now lives in Freedom, Wyo., but gets back to Salt Lake City quite often. Itt was delightful to see this y friend once again and listen to her laugh-fille- d stories. She said that the second book of a writer is rarely accepted almost a taboo with publishers, who urge the author to go on to a third book. Rodello has done that and we hope you will enjoy reading her latest, Business in Utah during the quarter of 1969 was good to excellent by most measurements and the outlook for the third quarter is also generally due to additional federal taxes.

J This certainly true, for the colors throughout oui home are blue, gold and white. Have you ever thought that mans color preferences span a broad emotional spectrum? We see red and feel blue, and were green with envy and purple with rage. We talk of yellow cowards, white hope and black despair. The importance of color has been proved in the physical functions of plants and animals. Houseflies are attracted to yellow but mosquitoes favor dark blue.

This has the scientists wondering about effects of bright city lights on small-tow- r people. Vol. 53, No. 5 With mice, pink is for boys and blue for girls. Under pink light, mice breed in a ratio of 70 percent males to 30 percent females. Under blue light, the figures are reversed. Some fish hate red; others love it. In either case, their respiration rate increases under red light. Color affects people and their personalities in a similar way. Today, it is believed that if you favor red or orange, chances are youre an extrovert. Moreover, a bright orange or red room can stimulate respiration and even distract a child in class. Color experts say that if you dislike black, you probably are a fatalist who abhors fate. Intelluctuals and idealists are especially attracted to yellow. People who have surmounted poverty or cruelty as children may take the color pink unto themselves. And, if you like green and dislike red, you have a natural interest in life but feel yourself pushed' around more than you would like. Color experts have found bright and warm colors tend to cause a measurable increase in muscular tension, respiration rate, heart action, blood pressure and brain activity. Dim lights and cool colors have reverse effects. From a psychological stand-pointraits of children are revealed in their preferences for certain paints and crayons. Children who like red best have a free, spontaneous nature. Blue and black preferences indicate more and repression of emotion. Green shows a disposition and uncomplicated nature. But yellow goes with infantile traits and dependence on adults. Here are some dos and donts related to basic color: If you are striving to promote calm through the color of a garment, do select something blue, a very pleasant color, especially among men. If you want to attract attention, do use red, a color many women prefer. Dont have green unless you take into account that it will probably give some form of relaxation. Green suggests peaceful meadows, quiet forests and the restfulness we find in the country. t, a.: - IT lN' XX National First Place Winner of Weekly Papers for 1965.

Could you ghe me a brief history of the growth of federal employment ? In the early days of the country, federal employes numbered in the low' thousands. In 1816, for instance, President James Madison had only 4,837 people working in his administration. By 1871, the total had risen to and then doubled the next decade. By 1914, the federal payroll totaled 401,887 workers and continued to rise until e it hit an high of 3.4 million during World War II. Cut back two million in 1917, it rose again to 2.5 million in 1951 during the Korean War and remained at about that level until 1906 vs hen it rose to 2.9 million and stayed there.

But ards threaten iven the holidays. And you may need another vacation immediately after youve had one, unless you take steps to protect your family and yourself. Here are five ways to prevent a trip from becoming a trap: 1. One of the worst spoilers is car trouble. It can be expenand dansive, checked Have car your gerous. thoroughly before you leave home. Some points often overhaz- best-plann- g, looked are: Brakes Are they too soft? Do they pull to the left or right? Steering wheel Is there too much play? Wheels Are they in balance? Are the tires in good condition? Windshield wipers Will they suddenly give you trouble on a parkway? Radiator A mixture of water and a good rust inhibitor is the best coolant in hot weather. Fan belt Its a good idea to carry a spare. Carry sweets for a pep-u- p snack between meals, but dont try to guzzle even a soft drink behind the wheel. 2. You wont enjoy your vacation if youre worried about whether you turned off tjie gas or electricity. Take a few minutes to make a list of items to be turned off and services to be stopped before you go. Place valuables in a safe deposit box while youre gone. Let the police know you are leaving for a while and give a key to a friend or relative (but be sure to tell the rain-swe- pt police he has a key). One thing which will tip off an experienced burglar that nobodys home is a neglected lawn. If you plan to be gone for more than a to week, make arrangements have your lawn cut. Then you'll be ready to enjoy carefree holiday fun and relaxation. 3. Be prepared for and never underestimate the dangers of poison ivy. Nobody can be sure of being immune to its effects, which include stinging and itching and blisters, and can mean disaster for vacationers. It is a dark green, shiny, d plant which usually doesnt grow more than a foot high. The milky, oily poison it exudes is far more formidable than the name suggests.
