Friday, December MILLARD COUNTY PROGRESS Subsection $2.00 a ear. 10 each, it would take more than six years to pay back to the organization the amount which has already been distributed in this state. These figures do not take into consideration the amount of food distributed during this time of shrunken incomes. The distribution of food and feed In Utah was fundamentally necessary In viow of the 1931 drouth and financial reverses. Hundreds of families which were found without the staff of life were aided and thousands of cattle and poultry were saved fiom starvation by the liberal distribution of chopped wheat. At the lime of the distribution of wheat und flour, this assistance was looked upon by those who were aided as a' heavenly gift, as it came in the time of stress and want. The memory of this period should not pass by quickly but the people should respond whole hearted!) to this opportunity of partially reimbursing the Red Cross organization which is giving to the state splendid anf needed service. Complaint has come that there was partiality shown in the distribution of the Red Cross materials.. If this be true it should not be held against the Red Cross organization as the distribution was left to committees comprised of local personnel who had this work in charge. The Red Cross is working as a benefactor to the distress and the needy. This organization responded liberally at the first call and continued to do so even after quotas for this state had been filled. A careful study leads one to the conviction that such a distribution was not only meritorious but greatly needed and when the appeal was made for extra flour and chopped wheat to be distributed to certain uteas the Red Cress organization responded splendidly airti many a poo: family that was without flour had their bins replenished. Herds of caille-tha- t would have died were carried through cold and stormy winter months. The supply of Red Cross money and goods tor distribution among the needy is replenished enly as it is given by the people of the world. Areas such as Utah that received needful consideration in the distribution of feed, flour and clothing during the last year should be especially considerate in making contributions to the membership drive of the Red Cross organization. We people in Utah can afford to take out memberships even in face of these strenuous times. By Director William Ieterson Utah State Agricultural college Extension Service Inasmuch as our paper was published a day eaily last week, we did not receive the above article in time to print it before the close of the Red Cross drive. Because it is so interesting, and because the Red Cross welcomes members at any time, we are taking the liberty of printing it tills Week. County Treasurer Owen W. Bunker reports that tax collections this year are indeed gratifying, as compared with the year 1931. According to Mr. Bunker, the total amount assessed for 1932 is and of this amount $30,452.-0- 9 has been collected, or figured on a percentage basis, 9.47 percent of the total amount has been paid, as of November 30th. Last year, 1931, the total amount assessed equalled $357,917.54, with $21,763.82 paid by November 30th, or 6.08 percent of the total nmottut. Of course tills is not taking into consideration the railroad check, which was received last year on November 30th, but which has not yd come in this year. If lids same increase in percentage of collections over last year should continue up lo and including the delinquent date, Dec. 20th, the taxing units of the county should be in a nuidi hotter shape financially than they were a year ago. $321,-571.6- bucks". .
