BUTTON BUSTER of all congressmen tend to swell with pride when they mention their home states. But I find that representing Utah back here give me more opportunities than most to point with pride. Scarcely a week passes that some nationwide survey conducted by a government department doesn't cross my desk showing Utah at the top in some area or another. Two such surveys were received this week. HIGH MENTALITY, . . The first report was from the Secretary of Labor. It was a survey of the areas where skilled labor wss most available The survey wss based upon mental examinations given by the Armed Forces. It shows that Utah has the highest ratio of high achool graduates in the nation and that it had the lowest percentage of men rejected by the Armed Services for mental reasons. JUG1I TRA1NABILITY . . More than two out of every five men in Utah are in the highest mental group. This is the highest for the country. The nstionsl average Is only one in every three. As a result, the mtemiountain area presents the nation with the greatest potential pool for skilled workers, the report shows . The other ECONOMIC BOOM survey was conducted by the Bureau of Census. It was a nationwide study of the increase in payrolls and sales of retail stores In 1954 as compared to 1948 The nationwide average increase in sales was 31 'A. In Davis County the increase wav 5277; in Salt Lake, 38 per cent; in Tooele, 32 per cent and In Utah County, 20 per cent. Again Utah areas were among the leaders in the nation in prosperity as reflected by increased consumer purchases. NATIONAL PARKS . . . President Eisenhower has approved a 1D ear program for the development of our National Parks and Monuments This is something we hne been fighting for ever since I tame to Congress in 1953 The goal of the program is to double ail park facilities in the next decade Since Utah has more scenic arras than any other state, the program should work wonders for our tourist economy. The PresNEW SAVINGS idents continued emphasis on economy in government operations is paying off for the taxpayer The Insurance Division of the Veterans Administration has saved taxpayers $15 million in operating ex penditures since 1952.

Among the privileges granted them by registering the church with the government was the right to buy property, build churches and remodel apartments for specific uses In this rapacity, Mr Mails pun based 13 pieces of property-futhe church to he used as needhis r ed While there Mrs Matis served on the AS LA a committee of educa lion, which interviewed and tested appliesns who desired to come to the I n. ted Staes to further their This privilege was granted to the people of Finland under Public Law 265 adopted by the (dngress of 'he United States in recognition of Finlands faithfulness in paying their debt of the First World War Since they were the only country who kept the trust, the United States decided to return the money to Finland in the form of scholarships Educators in all fields, scientists, engineers, architects, who arc r'iciblp are given a college i in thus country paid by th money roec ed by the U S from Finland.

The only "requirement made of them is hat they agree to return to their homeland and pass on to others thr things they have learned. It goes without saving that this has greatly cemented the friendships between the two countries. One of the oustanding events that occured while Mr. and Mrs. Matis were in Finland were the Olympic ganu-- ' of 1952 which were held in that country.
