FOR 28 days he cruised the coastline of the British Isles, sinking 3 British gun boats and a merchant ship. At the port of Whitehaven, on the southern coast of Scotland, he slipped ashore in the darkness with a crew in a small boat and spiked the defense guns on the wharf.

With the Drake in tow as a prize he started for cessful exploits Jones was named to replace Esek Hopkins as commander of the growing Continental Navy, earned and commensurate post. There is no record that he ever expressed any disaffection. As a matter of fact, he seemed to prefer to continue as a free lance raider in the home waters of the enemy, but the French gave him another tective escort of merchant convoys along the French coast. In honor of Benjamin Franklin, Jones renamed his ship the Bonhomme Richard and had it refitted. It was slower than the Ranger, but well armed. Some of its cannons were old and dangerous to use. 9 IN JULY of 1779 Jones was permitted to leave the port of Lorient and resume his forays in English waters. Because of jealousy and distrust among the French officers and mixed crews of his three supporting ships they were unreliable and, in some cases, even hos- his Bonhomme Richard, along the coast of Ireland, Jones lived up to his fearsome reputation by capturing 4 enemy brigatines, a collier and a merchantman. He planned to come ashore and raid the town of Leith, Scotland, but a violent storm on September 14th kept him out at sea. THEN, ON September 22, the events occured by which John Paul Jones is best known. Near the mouth of the Humber river, on the east coast of England, he sighted a great fleet of enemy merchant vessels escorted by the 50 gun Serapis and the 20 gun Countess of Scarborough'. When the Bonhomme Richard closed for the attack only one of the supporting vessels, the Alliance stood by. The other two, the Pallas and the Vengeance, withdrew out of danger. 1779 is a natural for people on the go! has a way with foods. Try a refreshing cold glass with your meal and see.

Approximately 46 percent of the total increase in state expenditures for next year is accounted for by augmented state support of public school operations and 25 percent is the result of increased appropriations for higher education. State aid for local school operations was raised by $27.8 million, or 13.4 percent by the 1976 Budget Session. Altogether, Utah schools next year will have a total operating program of $320.2 million, of which $234.8 million will come from state aid and $85.4 million will be from local tax receipts.
