Emery County received almost half of the total amount of property taxes paid this year. A total of $15,082,919.37 was paid to Emery County. About $1.2 million of that figure represents taxes on the company's coal properties. UP&Ls five newest coal-fire- d power generating units also are located in Emery County. The second largest tax check went to Salt Lake $6,938,335.40 County. Utah County was third, with a payment of $1,396,922.74. UP&Ls taxes, along with payments from other citizens, will help pay for municipal and county services. Additionally, about half of the property tax payment will go to the Uniform School Fund to help support education in the state. County officials are being notified that about 9 percent of UP&Ls taxes are being paid under protest this year, because the company disagrees with the states total assessed value of UP&L property.

Snow College this quarter as part of Youth the for Young Exchange Program Congress-Bundesta- Three young women and one young man from Germany are attending g Professionals. They are living with Ephraim residents while they attend school. Sabine Neuberger is living with Bill and Carol King, Antje Liebrecht with the Gess Young family. Boris Zulke has been living with Neucile Green Yardley and family, and Dorte Grell with Judy Morgan. "We are very pleased with the progress these students are making, said Dr. Mary Ann Christison, Snows Director of the English Training Center and foreign student adviser. "I believe they are finding the freedom they have here and the activities in which they are able to participate to be a great experience, she said, explaining that they came here directly from working at various jobs in Germany and now having experienced the kind of campus fun and freedom enjoyed in this country. Boris is a plumber and has worked at this profession for some time in Germany. At the present time, Mary Ann and others are striving to get him certified to work in this country, which he will do the last nine months of the year he spends in the United States. Carman youth attending Snow Collage are Sabrina Naubargar, Boris Grail. Zulka, and Antja llabracht. Not pictured: Dorta Doerte is a legal secretary and has good prospects for employment in that field. Sabine and Antje are dressmakers and have both received offers for employment in this country for the remaining nine months of their stay. Sabine has expressed a desire to find a job in which she could express her creativity as a designer work rather than the assembly-lin- e she has had in the past. All of the students speak English fluently, and that was one of the qualifications necessary for them to be chosen to be a part of the program. Applications are now being accepted from Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 for the 1987-8Congress-BundestaExchange program, which would give these American young people opportunity to participate in such a program in Germany. "The biggest obstacle we face here is finding young people with a good background in the German language, Dr. Christison said. "If there are missionaries or others who speak German and feel they might qualify for this program, we urge them to contact us at Snow College for details, she said, adding that she feels it would be a truly unique and valuable experience for interested students.
