So far as 1 know at the present time most of you may very well belong to the same party I do (most of the time), but I will for the sake of not getting anyone mad, change the story in one way. As they say in writing fiction, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

They were going to proceed on their way but just then they saw a man come to the surface and call for help, then go under the water again. Quickly the boys went to the mans aid and by exerting .much effort they were able to get him out and save him from drowning. They then discovered that he was none other than (John Doe) who was running for president (on the ticket.) The man was extremely happy to be saved and was anxious to show his gratitude so he asked the boys what he could do to repay them. The boys gave the matter some thought and then gave their Three little replies. The first loved candy more than anything else in the whole world so he said that hed like all the candy he could eat. The rescued man stroked his head and said, Why son, Im so grateful for what you did that Ill see that you have candy for the rest of your life. He then turned to the second boy and this lad said that his favorite treat was ice cream and that he would like to have lots of it. The man then assured him that he would supply him with all of the ice cream he could eat for the rest of his life. He then patted the third boy on the arm and asked what he could do for him. He was astounded when the boy requested the best funeral anyone had ever had, Something like President Kennedy had." The man was puzzled and worried that this young boy would want such a thing as that and inquired why someone his age would possibly be even thinking of a funeral, to which the boy replied. Because when my dad finds out who it was I saved hes going to kill me. I think that youll agree with me that by inserting the names you choose it is a very funny story. At least I enjoyed hearing it. As with all funny things that happen it all depends which end Alii!

It always seems easier to see the humor in a thing if it has happened to someone else and not to you. A friend of mine is one of those women who always looks like a fashion plate but she sometimes has spent more time than she was allotted in deciding just what to wear. Her husband is a patient soul but at times he gets close to the simmering point when she tries on two or three outfits before she is finally ready to go out. On a recent night they were preparing to go to a special occasion and she had been determined to look as elegant as possible. She had finally chosen a dress to wear and had asked his opinion upon the color of shoes to wear. He (like most men) thought that either would do very nicely, but she tired both pair on separately and then one of each to get just the right pair. It was just at this time when the telephone rang and after a lengthy converstaion (probably with her stylist) she hung up the phone and they dashed off. You guessed it, she didnt discover her error in shoes until just as they were leaving the dinner party. Her husband thought it was funnier than he dared let her know. Thats probably why they have the saying, You wouldnt think it was so funny if it was on the other foot. & OICLASSIFIED Dear Editor: As a citizen of this great state I am frustrated because our agencies of communication do not give us the facts concerning the issues upon which we are to vote this coming November. Two years ago we voted on a number of contitutional amendments. One of these amendments was to raise the pay of our legislators. This amendment was rejected by the voters of Utah.

Because of the very serious nature of these Propositions xvhich your State Legislature has caused to be placed before you, I urge that each of you study the text of the Propositions in full.' I urge you to consxdt xvith your .friends, neighbox's and local civic leaders in order that you may gain all information necessary to x'ender a just and xvise decision. PROPOSITION than any other 6 TIME; Section 1. It is proposed to amend Article XIII, Section 2, of the Constitution of the State of Utah to read as August 30, 1968 lets you at more places Mcassini ar Sincerely, CLYDE L. MILLER Secretary of State charge pay will again appear on the ballot in November. It will grant an increase of $20 a day. The potential average income would be $70 a day. Partly due to my efforts, Attorney General Phil Hansen has declared this pension unconstitutional. This will in all probability need to be decided by our state supreme court. Until this is done no decision should be made for an increase in salary for our legislators. Emil K. Nielsen ar Salt Lake BankAmericard Rfirst(securityH IBaNkAmerIcardi Legislature completely ignored the will of people and voted themselves the largest pension that exists in this state. They also voted $100,000 from taxpayers money each year to pay this pension. A state senator is elected for a four-yeterm. He actually works 120 days. For this 120 days he received a $40 a month pension. A state representative is elected for a two-yeterm and works 60 days. If a legislator worked one year (360 days) he would receive $1 20 per month pension for life. According to actual figures the average length of life after retirement is about 12 years. Therefore the average potential amount to each legislator would be $1,440 per year or $2,880 for each legislative session. On a daily basis this is $24 a day. This plus $1,000 salary per session, plus $5 a day expense money, plus a $200 set of law books, plus a small travel expense makes his average potential approximately $50 a day.
