What did you pay for that scrawny tree you finally That means it just happens to come in December. You cant afford to let it lapse, so you grit your teeth and pay it, grumbling all the time about how you should become and only get that insurance that is required by law. But you know you, there wouldnt be anything in the bank when you needed it. Oh yes, the inspection is also due, as well as the license plate fee and taxes. In December you are penalized if you try to wait until the first of the next month to take care of that little item. You get to pay two years taxes all at once.

Uh huh. Each day in December, the mailman seems to bring a new surprise. Most of them are in the form of envelopes with little windows in them. Remember that year when you got your new car in December? Of course you cast the thing aside, muttering about its comparison with last year, calling all of the politicians crooks and knowing youre not going to put it in the mail until the last possible moment on Nov. 30.

It is explained to you that four times a year the meter k is read for a period. December just happens to be one of those. Of course, you could have read on the billing that it covered more time, but its not your habit to check things out logically. You know that the whole world is out to get you. If anyone needs proof, let them watch you motor on down to the bank and withdraw what was left of your savings account.

MURRAY. Members of three Rotary clubs in the Green Sheet circulation area have contributed $5 each to a fund which will be used to construct an educational facility in Poona, India. The money, said Dr. Ralph Montgomery, will help build a vocational training center for mentally retarded children. The Murray dentist is World Community Service chairman for Rotary District 542, which includes all clubs in Utah. Contributions of Murray, Granger and Holladay club members join those of other Rotarians in the district to form a $9,000 total, Dr. Montgomery explained. To that will be added $7,900 from Rotary Foundation, an international philanthropic arm of the organization. The resulting $16,900 will care for the tailoring, laundry and kitchen units of the Poona school and meet operating expenses for three months. In the meantime, Rotary members in District 540 of neighboring Idaho are donating an additional $9,000 which will be medical equipment to District 314 of Bombay, India for use in a birth control program instituted by Dr. Sirish Sheth of Bombay. This project had its roots in Rotarys Group Study Exchange program, said Dr. Montgomery. I was chairman of the GSE committee for the district in 1980 when we received a team from the district in India. At that time, District 542 included both Utah and Idaho clubs, which explains the combined interest of these two in the Poona augmented by $4,500 from Rotary Foundation to purchase other needed equipment. Although the contributions of the American Rotarians seem quite generous, Dr. Montgomery pointed out those of Bombay, India who are sponsoring the Poona School, have given the equivalent of $5,250 per member. Assistance of Murray Rotarians in a project in India marks the second such example of international cooperation, Dr. Montgomery said. In 1981, the Murray club gave rsji school.

One of the members of the study team, Mohan Dewan, later became a member of the Poona West Rotary club and is now chairman of the Poona school project. During a visit to the United States by Dr. Sheth and Dewan this year, plans were made for American support of the school, Dr. Montgomery pointed out. The Poona school will train mentally retarded children in skills which will enable them to become contributing members of their communities. More than 20,000 children in the Poona area suffer from some degree of mental retardation, the schools founders observe. It is anticipated by the Rotarians from India that the training center could become within two years, generating enough funds to sustain itself. The tailoring unit would stitch bed covers, pillow covers, napkins and similar items, selling them on- the open market. The laundry unit would handle bulk orders from hospitals and restaurants. The kitchen unit would produce chapatis (similar to a tortilla) and prepare lunch packets. Anticipating the school being activated by that time, Dr. Montgomery said he hopes to have a delegation of Rotarians from Utah and Idaho in Poona for the dedication ceremonies in October, 1984.
