Nielson, long active in the Democratic party on a local, county and state basis, and currently the Sanpete County Democratic chairman, recently was awarded Ephraims Yule Candle lor outstanding community service. She is the 23rd Ephraim citizen so honored over a period of some 28 years. Mrs. Nielson is perhaps best known for her activities as of the Ephraim Beautification committee, for many sumptuous banquets she has prepared and served, as a florist, for her activities in the Democratic Party, for serving three terms as president of the Ephraim Garden Club, serving as the chairman of the March of Dimes campaign for 12 years, for management of Dairy Queen and for other business activities.

In view of this, said C. Taylor Burton, Director of Highways, we are making Utahs position in the national picture clear. Utahs study, as of January 1, 1964, indicates the total cost for Utahs on sick pay. Roland V. Wise, District Director of the Utah Internal Revenue Service said the new provisions apply to all sick pay attributable to periods of absence beginning after 1963, as a result of illnesa Interstate system to be 569 million dollars, The earlier study of January 1, 1960, indicated a cost of 485 million dollars. This is an increase of 84 million dollars, which represents an increase of 17 per cent, said Mr. or injury. Employees who receive more than 75 per cent of their regular weekly rate of pay while absent from work because of Illness or injury must wait 30 calendar days before sick pay is excludable from their taxable income. Then up to $100 a week may be excluded. Employees receiving no more than 75 per cent of their regular weekly wage while absent have no waiting period if they are hospitalized at least one day during such absence. If the taxpayer is not hospitalized, the waiting period is 7 calendar days. The maximum that may be excluded is $75 a week for the first 30 days, thereafter the maximum is $100 a week. When a period of absence due to an injury or illness began in 1963 and sick pay was subse- quently received in 1964, the provisions of the old law will apply to the sick pay for the 1963 period, Mr. Wise said. These provisions stated that up to $100 a week can be excluded when an employee is hospitalized or injured. There is no exclusion until after a waiting period when ill and no hospitalization is required. . Burton. Many factors have contributed to this increase. Among them, the addition of 5th and 7th North facilities in Salt Lake City, the addition of 5th and 6th South structures in Salt Lake City, the addition of the collector-distributsystem between 9th and 13th South Streets in Salt Lake City, a new and better location for the Salt Lake City Belt Route, the addition of 9 interchanges to the system; the road between Spanish Fork and Provo has been increased from 4 to 6 lanes, and two additional lanes of servicing will be provided between Draper Crossroads and Provo. The 1964 study is also more accurate and realistic from an engineering standpoint. More realistic estimates for or earth-excavati- on have been incorporated into the more recent study. Some normal increases in construction and right of way costs are also reflected, said Mr. Burton. Upgrading of design standards have also somewhat in creased cost figures. Utah has approximately 2 per cent of the total nationwide Interstate mileage, yet Utah has contributed only 1 per cent of the nationwide dollar total increase to complete the system. Mr. Burton continued 7-d- ay "We feel certain that Utah's mod- est increase for Interstate completion is directly attributable to the policy of the State Road Commission of Utah, and the Utah State Department of Highways of building urban, and more difficult rural sections first. ion MISS DEB Two small girls were playing together one afternoon in the park.

A. Always write a note to your hostess when youve been a guest in her home. Of course, this doesn't apply to your gal friend down, the block who stays over at your place as much .as you do at hers. But on any occasion when you are actually a guest in someones home, always follow up with a note. Q. My hair is oily and I have to wash it so often I feel waterlogged. Is there any way to make hair less oily? A. You can't actually make your hair less oily, but you can wash more of the oil away if you use shampoos made espe cially for oily hair.

Maybe these four tips will stop you from shaking in your boots. 1. Never refuse to shake someone's hand if he or she offers it. 2. A lady may offer her hand to a man, but it is not re- 3uired. 3. When being to a girl your own age, a cordial "hello can properly replace a handshake. 4. A woman should offer her hand to her host, her hostess and to her guests. Naturally, this doesnt mean you'd shake hands with Joanie after a coke and record session in the basement But do remember the rule when youre at more formal, adult gatherings. Remember also, a woman's hand-- 1 shake is merely a brief touch of hands, and not a masculine grip and pump action. Q.
