This Kanab people went to Hawaii fishing trip proved to be the most exciting of all for this two weeks ago and returned Two A thought just crossed my mind, "How nice it would be if The U.S. House of Representatives just passed one of the most incredibly deceptive pieces of legislation around Full Humphrey-Hawkin- s Employment and Balanced Growth Act of 1978." It was a shadow of its former self, yet leaves the door open for more government spending, the likes of which we haven't seen since the New Deal. It's virtually a blank check signed by the taxpayers and handed to President Carter and the spendthrifts in Congress to programs implement employment, balanced growth and price stability. It declares the rights of all able, willing, Ameri- g cans, to have a job. But it's all talkl There are no new programs, no incentives in the private sector, and worst of all, no budget ceilings for whatever programs the President and Congress may come up with under the bill should it become law. So conceivably, it could cost the taxpayers up to S100 billion for the government to create 2 to 3'i million jobs necessary to achieve a 4 percent unemployment rate by 1983; and those are temporary, leaf-rakin- g type of jobs with no permanent security. Its a cruel hoax played on the hard-cor- e unemployed, holding before them the hope of a but not the reality meaningful job. For the rest of the country, it's a springboard to more inflation and a higher federal deficit. It goes now to the Senate, where the real damage will be done. They are in a mood to give a tribute to the late Senator Humphrey, so are likely to add a lot of "teeth to - - the- - bill, multiplying be addressed seriously. But through the private sector, not through more government control. For every S10.000 dollar a year job the government "creates" it costs taxpayers $100,000 a year. The rest is eaten up by the bureaucracy. Its the most inefficient way I can think of to solve unemployment. If that same amount were used by small businesses, you would see real answers to the problem. to reduce unemployment. On its face, it appears harmless. It sets an unemployment goal of 4 percent to be met by 1983. It declares that we will promote full the impact on taxpayers. We are not without an alternative, however. 1, too, believe unemployment is a serious problem and needs to The most serious unemployment rate is among the youth, particularly minorities. The best way to put those youngsters and everyone else to work is to let the private sector hire them. And the private sector can do that only if they have the resources, which will not happen if consumers are taxed to the point they have nothing left to spend. A 30 d percent tax cut over three years, for example, would generate enough business that this country would have 4'j million jobs - permanent, meaningful jobs - by 1983. Thats more than enugh to meet the 4 percent goal. Plus we will have a stronger economy and a healthy competitive enterprise system. across-the-boar- -- -- GOOWU.

Many of our ward members attended the most outstanding choral program held in Kanab last Friday night. Those in attendance reported a most talented and trained group performed for this program. Also on Saturday night, the High Priests and partners of the Stake met in an annual party and program, with many of our people being there. During the past week the Relief Society of the Orderville Ward celebrated their birthday party, starting off with a date with our mates on Thursday evening. A delicious dinner was served at the cultural hall with the theme of "Sisterhood Around World, decorations the on the tables was carried out so beautifully. Over 200 people gathered to enjoy this timne together followed by entertainment, where new talents (some of which should have stayed hidden) were on display in the form of skits and blackouts. The ladies, young, middle young and one grandmother, had an enjoyable time getting this together, and wondered at times if their husbands would ride home with them. Many helping hands made this evening together a night to remember. This celebration was followed later in the week when the Relief Society presented the Sacrament meeting. Sister Beth Sorensen spoke on how being a Relief Society teacher over the years had brought happiness to her family and herself; Marge Crofts told how her family had been blessed by having the visiting teachers come into her home. A ladies trio, Lorene Russell, Maryllis Heyborne, Juniece Hoyt, accompanied by Lorene Lamb, sang "Yet in Beauty.
