Are we keeping notes and diaries and histories up to date so that those who are yet to come to this special place may know of our comings and goings, of our accomplishments? Will they know of the great strides that are taking place here in our country and county, know of the wonderful people, here now, who still pioneer according to the needs and hopes of this time and this generagions walk in time? We are facing and experiencing hardhips, combatting problems, wrestling with temptations that our revered Sanpete settlers never had to face. We are doing it the best we can, just as they did their utmost during their walk in time, but can those coming after us profit from oar experiences, as we have budded and profited by theirs? We all appreciate our heritage of industriousness, honesty, integrity, faith, and skill of these early artisans and we still enjoy many wonderful things that came at their hands. Will those who reach their hands for our help, our knowledge in the years to come, find it in written word and pictures and records? We hope all of us can say yes, indeed we can and will, and they can and will, if we write some bit of history each day, each week, each year. The Saga, 1975 edition, deadline is July 1, 1975.

About Tax Rebates From the queries the Internal Revenue Service has been receiving since the mailing of tax rebates began, many taxpayers have been unable to determine how the government computed the amounts. Basically, as long as your taxable income was less than $20,000, the rebate is ten per cent of the tax actually paid in 1974-- up to a maximum of $200 or a minimum of $100. The amount of your rebate will be the same as your income tax liability if less than $100. Taxpayers will not receive any tax rebate of paid. If your taxable income was between $20,000 and $30,000 for 1974, and you paid at least $1000 in taxes, you will receive a rebate of between $100 and $200. Because the rebate for that tax category is based on a progressively reduced formula, however, the more you made the less you will get back. If your taxable income was over $30,000, and you paid at least $1000 in taxes, you will get $100 back. Some taxpayers will be getting back both refunds and in two rebates this year-eith- er in or one checks separate combined check, officials advised. Taxpayers who filed their tax returns between April 1st and April 15th probably will receive one check including their refund, if one was due, and their rebate. In weeks all refund and rebate checks should have been issued. 2-- 3 Miss JoDee Howell, Dairy Princess raim Miss Selected as State Dairy Princess Royalty Miss JoDee Howell, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. DeMont Howell from Ephraim in Sanpete County was recently made an attendant to the State Dairy Princess at festivities held in the new Salt Lake City Hilton Hotel Saturday evening. live During the hour-lon- Summer Music Camp Concludes Training With Performance The sixth annual Central Utah Educational Services Summer Music Camp for junior high school students residing in the six school districts of Sevier.
