Matthew and Brian are the sons of Pam and Roger Baker and are following the precedent set by their older brother Mark, their father and their grandfather, Grant Baker of Salt Lake City; all are Eagle Scouts. Brian worked in scouting last summer at a camp on Bear Lake and Matthew will follow this summer as a staffer at Camp Steiner in the Uinta Mountains. Both have been Senior Patrol Leaders in Ephraim troop 527. Brians Eagle service project involved the establishment of a church library for people in Cork, Ireland. Since there is no outlet in the Republic of Ireland for LDS Church books, Brian collected books and fixed each book with a checkout card. He sent lists of the books by author and title along with the books to Ireland with his father. His work along with the work of three other scouts has put a library in every LDS Church building in Ireland. Matthew improved and marked a forest service trail for his service project. People who e hike can want a scenic start at Lake Hill (Community to the natives) in Ephraim Canyon and follow a trail that merges with Jimmys Fork Trail and the Willow Creek Trail to emerge on the Ephraim Canyon Road two miles below Lake Hill Campground. Troop 527 of Ephraim has adopted this trail and provides periodic maintefive-mil- nance. At the same Court of Honor, Woodbadge beads were presented by Ephraim Scouter Ross Findlay to Pat Willmore and Roger Baker. Pat is the advancement chairman for troop 527 and Roger is the recently released scoutmaster. He is now Deacons Quorum Adviser and Assistant Scoutmaster. These beads are presented to adult scout leaders who complete a rigorous leader training course that includes a week encampment and up to two years working on specific goals. ic A football.

I I 'A L WM A ' L Trudi Hyatt Tina Marie Jackman Crystal Gregerson Scandinavian Festival a success again this year BY MARGE BENNION Ephraims Scandinavian Festival held May 26th and 27th was a great success. The committee wishes to thank all those who gave their time and support to make it what it was. The biggest crowd ever attended and we felt it was very successful. Many fine activities were hosted for citizens of our valley as well as for visitors. The Yeast Bread Contest was well supported by several wonderful Sanpete bakers. Representatives from the Pillsbury Company came and donated sacks of flour to the winners. Other prizes as well were donated by local businesses. Pillsbury was very interested in this contest and will help to sponsor the event next year. Thanks to all of you who shared your good bread. The samples were delicious. The Childrens Museum of Utah sent a representative to the festival to see the Ugly Trolls that had been made by the Ephraim Elementary School children. The trolls were on display at the Ephraim Library. The Museum hopes to implement a similar activity to promote creativity and highlight the unique culture of another country during their Summer-fes- t in late June. They were most complimentary of what has been done to involve our children. Thank you Ephraim Elementary faculty and children for your participation. Another special attraction of this year's festival was the Little Denmark Dinner. Several Ephraim couples who had been married over 50 years were honored. Ivan and Eunice Alder were chosen as the king and queen and they were the grand marshals of the parade on Saturday morning. The performing group Sounds of Scandinavia presented the program that evening. The Smorgasbord on Saturday afternoon featured unique Scandinavian recipes. The Snow College Cafeteria did an excellent job of researching and pre- paring the delicious food. Ephraim has a rich Scandinavian heritage. The yearly festival helps us to remember and appreciate our forbearers and their struggles to settle a new land. To know this valley and to absorb its fascinating history is to come away loving the people who made it come to life. We salute these hardy pioneers. In addition, we salute the hard working people who made this years festival a success. Foundation reports on Sanpete revenues Because counties in Utah have a limited revenue base, the property tax has continued as the principal source for financing county governments. This year, property taxes imposed by counties will total $133 million, or over 44 of all 1989 county general revenues. These facts were revealed in an analysis of the 1989 county budgets, prepared by Utah Foundation, a private tax research organization. The study shows that Utah counties may not impose utility franchise taxes, and local sales tax has remained a minor revenue source. Also, the elimination of federal revenue sharing and the reduction of federal grants has hurt counties. It is expected that only about $16 million in federal money will be received by Utah counties in 1989. This compares to $47 million in 1984, and $38 million in 1986. When voters rejected the three initiatives proposed during the election of 1988, some $58 million in county revenue was pro tected. The largest revenue makers for counties are now; (1) property tax, (2) contributions and transfers, and (3) state aid. These three areas accounted for about 75 of county funds. Property taxes, the largest area, ranged from a high of 0.4635 in Salt Lake County to a low of 0.1754 in Box Elder County. The average in the state was 0.3702. Last years rate for Sanpete County was 0.3981, just slightly higher than state average. Sanpete Countys 1989 budget shows total revenues of $2,985,229, which includes $1,337,137 from property tax, $57,000 from sales tax, $69,000 from other taxes, $396,000 from federal funds, $445,000 from state funds, and the remainder from other sources. and public Judy Towne graduates from SUSC college Judy Draper Towne, daugh- ter of the late Fred and Alta Nielson of Manti and wife of Gary Towne, graduated last weekend from Southern Utah State College with a bachelor of arts degree in English and Spanish.
