Its a fair bet that the majority of us do not really know the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, the papers on which our country was founded. In fact, in a survey conducted years ago, some people given excerpts from the Declaration of Independence thought the ideas expressed were not knowing they were rejecting the thoughts of our revolutionary forefathers. This type of incident is embarrassing to all of us, for how can we cherish and protect our freedoms when we do not know what they are? If we are truly proud to be Americans, we must show it in our everyday actions. Waving a flag and swearing we will die for our country is not enough. The actions of a good citizen include keeping voting in elections, and knowing the basics of our system of government. These practices involve hard work, preseverence, and a faith that an individuals actions are of importance to the community. Such qualities created our nation and must be nurtured. No one ever said preserving our liberties would be easy. With freedom comes responsibility. Its time for all of us to shoulder those responsibilities. If we dont, we will find our country run by a handful of people and they wont be us. d, Womens association plans meeting Candidate night, sponsored by the Roy region.

Savings Bonds.' some If you find your pet greedily eats the meat, but leaves the medicine in the food bowl or on the floor, its time for stronger action. The technique of pilling a cat or dog depends on proper placement of the tablet far back on the tongue so that the pet automatically swallows. The method has four basic steps: positioning your pet, opening its mouth, placing the medicine on the back of the tongue, and encouraging the pet to swallow. To start, place the pet next to your left side on a smooth, slippery surface: a table top for a small pet, or a bare floor for a larger animal. This gives your pet the least opportunity to pull away.

Is it the fault of inflation or? is" it plain just mismanagement of persorfSl funds? Some explanation is behind the fact many state employees face garnishment of their paychecks. , Between- - 20 and 30 in- dividuals on the state payroll have their paychecks garnished each pay period. That compares to a maximum of 10 per pay period three years ago according to Ruth Tolich of the Utah State Auditors Office. She says it takes two full days per month plus time telephoning the payroll departments ahead to take care of the garnishments. Thats time, Tolich says I could be spending on tax payer matters. The legal process of garnishment is rather complex according to Coral Call of the Attorney Generals Office. It is the last resort for bills that cant fdedicating yourpet Irreplaceable elements of our visible heritage could be in danger of destruction through the new growth and development projected for Utah in the 1980s. The Utah Heritage Foundation urges Utahns concerned about preservation of our heritage to the July 4th holiday and they also buckle safety belts and drive defensively.

How can we make sure Utahs citizens are trained to be effective in securing the new jobs created by growth? 5. Many communities have experienced large increases in divorce, juvenile delinquency, Little July fourth holiday should open its mouth. Holding the medicine between the thumb and finger of your right hand, place the dose on the pets tongue, as far back into the throat as possible, and then close the jaws. Hold them closed with the left hand, and begin to gently stroke the throat with the first fingers of the right hand, to encourage swallowing. You should be able to see the muscles of the throat ripple slightly as the pet swallows. Until you acquire the knack of placing the tablet far enough back on the tongue, youll need to watch your pet for a few minutes to guarantee that the medicine isnt ejected onto the floor. If you must give your cat g or dog a liquid, dont try to pour it down the pets throat. The fluid may enter the lungs and cause pneumonia, or it may be splattered all over the floor. A dogs facial skin is loose enough so that you can retract the skin at the corner of the mouth to make a small pocket. Pour the liquid from a spoon into this pocket, tip the muzzle up, and hold the dogs mouth closed. The pet will swallow shortly. A cat can also be dosed in this fashion, although the cheek pocket is smaller, and the liquid may need to be given in several increments, with time for swallowing in between. bad-tastin- be collected any other way. A complaint must be filed in court. If the amount of the claim is less than $500 then the complaint must be filed in small claims court. The defendant has 20 days to answer the complaint after which the judge may grant the claim if uncontested plus court costs if he so desires, Call says. The defendant must then come to court and define his assets and if he fails to do that a bench warrant may be issued for his arrest. make Most people arrangements to pay their bad debts before a paycheck can actually be garnished, but still as many as 30 individuals are having paychecks garnished. Tolich says, Many of the people who have this difficulty are repeat offenders. We have to withhold part of their paycheck each month. Tolich says also that in the past one Attorney General and several state legislators had their paychecks garnished by the Internal Revenue Service. For regular debts 25 percent of what remains after a minimum wage and dependants allowance have been deducted may be taken. If a person has several bad debts, his creditors must file each pay period for a judgment. The first one with the judgment is awarded the money. Only one payment per pay period can be taken Tolich adds. The rules for child support payments and IRS debts are different, however. There is no 25 percent maximum and funds can be withheld with one judgment until the account is current. adCharles Mason, Utah the officer for justment State Employees Credit Union says that, Unless a person is making more than $20,000 per year, it makes little economic sense to garnish. The psychological effect is what were after. Most people will immediately take steps to take care of the bad debt. Affects of the court judgment can be very damaging to a persons credit rating according to Mason. Employees who have paychecks garnished were once open to dismissal, but it is no longer legal to fire someone because of a garnishment according to Assistant Attorney General Bruce Hale. |
