Show 0alt Sake f ( A little jealousy here? And now comes the Secretary of the Army who has warmly endorsed a proposal, by Army staff officers to create special, military units that could be sent to under developed countries all over the world to help in peace time projects as well as bolster defenses. Its just another Peace Corps but military instead of civilian controlled. It seems everybody wants to get into the act se - Did you ever have the same urge? The news had it that a man shouting down with cars, long live horses, smashed 10 parked cars and four motorcycles with a pickax in Sardinia, Italy. Needless to add that Italian police took him to a mental hospital for observation. -- Salt Lake City, Friday, September 22, Consider These Points When Building Shelter The local urge to build bomb shelters have been quickened by increased tensions over the Berlin crists and the resumption of nuclear testing, it is pointed out in a communication from Swen A. Andersen, executive secretary of the South Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. Many types of bomb shelters are being placed on the local market and buyers should be sure of several important details before entering into an agreement to purchase such shelters. The following points should be carefully checked: 1. Is the product offered by a reputable business firm? in- volved have a State license? 3. Does the product meet the standards of Civilian Defense? 4. Has a building permit been issued? 5. Does the product meet local building code re- quirements? Checking these few important points may well mean the difference between satisfac- tion and disappointment If in further doubt the Business Mens Alliance or the local Chamber of Commerce should be consulted.

The gun battle started shortly after 10:30 p.m. when a man walked into the market and picked up a few items. According to a Salt Lake Tribune news story, he then went to the check stand whore Mr. Templin was standing. The gunman produced a pistol and said he wanted cash. Mr. Templin put about $300 in a money paper bag and was then ordered into the back of the store. The gunman then ran out the door. Mr. Templin grabbed his own gun, a automatic, and gave chase. The man ran across an intersecting street and Mr. Templin fired at him as he ran. The gunman returned the fire.

The Foundations analysis, which was based on data gathered by the U.S. Office of Education, shows that state and local revenue going for public school purposes in Utah amounted to 5.68 per cent of the total personal income in the state during the 1959-6school year. This relative effort was approximately 60 per cent greater than the nationwide percentage of 0 3.56 per cent. The study notes that the state and local effort to support the public schools in the Western States is generally greater than it is for other sections of the nation. Last year, for example, state and local revenue as a percentage of personal income averaged 4.44 per cent in the eight Mountain States and 4.26 per cent in the eleven Western States. Another point revealed by the report is that the proportion of public school revenue coming from state sources is slightly greater in Utah than for the nation as a whole. State revenue made up 44.9 per cent of all public school revenue in Utah, compared with 40.4 per cent for the rest of the nation. Foundation analysts also note that nearly all of the state aid for schools in Utah is distributed by means of equalization formulas. Last year 97.3 per cent of the $40.3 million in state aid for local schools was distributed on the basis of equalization grants, with only 2.7 per cent being allocated through flat grants. Nationally, 58.2 per cent of all state aid was allocated through equalization grants with 41.8 per cent distributed through flat grants. Property tax has about the same relative importance in financing schools in Utah and in the United States, according to the report During 1959-Gabout 53.7 per cent of all public school revenue in Utah was derived from property A , O taxes. The national percentage of school revenue coming from the property tax last year was 52.5 per cent Savings Bonds Buying Climbs Purchases of Series E and H savings bonds by Utah residents continued their upward climb during August, reaching a total of $1,624,288, it was announced by Salt Lake County Bond Chairman, Frank J. Wardlaw, Jr. Utahs purchases during the eight months of 1961 total more than $13 million, almost a half million more than during the same period of 1960, the chairman stated. Treasury Secretary Dillon and Savings Bonds volunteers are calling special attention to the Series H bond. At the time more than present 500,000 Americans own Series H bonds. Like the better-know- n also E, the cent interest pays per when held to maturity. August purchases of E and H bonds in Salt Lake County amounted to $629,671, bringing .

Repeating its record of last year, Uintah County became the first in Utah, to achieve over 100 per cent of its 1961 goal, according to local sales figures $5,397,038, released. p Templins gun jammed and being unable to defend himself, he backed down the road. The bandit got in the getaway car and it traveled another 100 yards up the street. The car stopped again and the gunman jumped out, gun in hand. But this time he laid the gun on the street. Mr. Templin approached the man and saw blood on his arm. The car used in the holdup drove rapidly northward on 4th East. Mr. Templin obtain the license number. The suspect was arrested by South Salt Lake Deputy Marshals Sexton and White and turned over to the Salt Lake County sheriff. Harper has been wanted in connection with.- a grocery store robbery in Ogden. Police there said a complaint charging David Mark Harper with armed robbery had been signed after the July 18 holdup of the Checkerboard Market in which a clerk was shot and wounded. According to Marshal Dipo, through later information received, it is believed Harper may have participated in seven armed robberies in California during the past two months at Santa Monica, Long Beach, West Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, and Bakersfield. - 17-year-- Attends Convention Chief Samuel B. Davies of the South Salt Lake Fire Department is attending the convention of the International Fire Chiefs Association, being held in Las Vegas, Sept 25-2- 8. . Bids for three new elementary schools in the Granite District will be opened in the next five weeks, it was decided last Tuesday night at a meeting of the Granite Board of Education. It was voted to call for bids on the Oakridge Elementary School on Oct 24. It will be located about 3700 East 4289 South. Bids on the Western Hills Elementary School, 5200 South 3100 West will be opened Sept. 26, and those on the Taylorsville Gardens school at 4200 South 2100 West .will be opened Oct 17. After that, it was pointed out, the building fund program will have to be handled with care. Technicalities in the law, Supt. Elmer J. told the board, and the manner in which state monies are made available likely will delay the receipt of needed funds. Although taxpayers have given the board power to bond the district to the maximum amount, the full bonding power likely cannot be used until the middle of the 1962-6school term. State officials have ruled an increase authority from 10 to 13 13 per cent, but this must be based on valuations as of Jan. 1, 1962. And these probably wont be available until late 1962, Mr. Hartvigson said. He also pointed out that some state funds which the district has "on paper actually wont be available until taxes are collected.
