Too many kids and not enough money was described as one of Utahs biggest problems right now, according to Jim Robson, stake office of budget and planning, who spoke Thursday to the Magna Community Council. Citing the perils of the proposed tax initiatives,' Robson said the SALT LAKE. The Salt Lake CityCounty Landfill will observe that good for the states economy," kids to Robson said. "These types of and international problems have had an adverse national effect." He went on to say that the state has had a difficult time keeping up with the school population explosion that resulted from an state is already laboring under a host of problems that have been brought about due to no fault of its own. He cited in particular the Geneva Steel shutdown, the Kennecott Copper shut down, and since Utah is an energy state, the fluctuation of oil prices in the last four years, which resulted in the loss of 59 million in oil revenues. "Clearly things havent been all increase in births during the late 1970s. With the decline in population in the last few years a conflict has deveoped, since they have all those kids to educate during a time of recession. He said that Utah has the second highest birth rate in the nation (Alaska has the highest), and what that amounts to is that there are fewer adults to pay for to school, so we spend less per pupil. In 1987, there were 49 school-ag- e kids for every 100 adults. The U.S. average is 30. Idaho came in second with 39 kids to and 100 adults every Massachusetts has 26 for every 100 adults. "Compared to other states on a national average, clearly we are losing ground because we just cant keep up," he said. "And the three tax initiatives will not make it any easier to cope because if the revenue loss is what the state claims it will be it will not only impact the schools but the middle class and elderly too." "The 185 million reduction is already in the economy being spent on wages and supplies etc. Reduce it and you give it to the consumers, but it will mean a loss of government jobs, as well as go services." In summing up Robson said that when politicians cut back services it is usually the things that affect the little people, rather than cutting the fat out of officials salaries. He urged people to look at the implications of voting for the tax initiatives, because they may not be what they expect them to be when they were on paper ad not put into practice. In other business the council heard Madeline Walker, CAP resource specialist, talk about the need for help with the food bank at the CAP Center. She said that they had conducted a food drive for three weeks at Reams and Smiths to build up a new supply of commodities, which have been depleted by the need of people who are out of a job or not making enough to live on. "Last year," she said, "we had in the neighborhood of six to eight orders' per week from needy families.

Young people are especially urged to find out more about their grandparents, and if they dont live in close proximity to their progenitors they should write to them often to maintain that link with the past that will not always be there.
