Show ,g"1!)rThiurMday' Febnia--- ii i ' "I've got an unlisted number." To Thwart A Thief The number of burglaries reported nationwide jumped 12 percent during the first six months of 1980, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This is in addition to a six percent increase in 1979. Ob-viously, now it is more important than ever to protect your home and possessions against theft. To help, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company has prepared the following tips : Always keep a light burning in your home I when you're gone -- preferably upstairs where a burglar can't check to see if the room is empty. If you're going to be out for several nights, consider, in-vesting in an automatic timer that turns lights on and off at regular intervals. Don't leave ladders or tools outside the house. They could be just the materials a burglar needs to break into your home. Overgrown shrubs and bushes make great hiding places, so keep them trimmed. Burglars also love the cover of darkness, so illuminate the exterior of your house. If you leave your house for an extended period of time, make sure it still looks lived in. Cancel all regular deliveries such as milk and newspapers, and make arrangements for someone to mow your lawn or shovel your driveway. Since locks are one of the most important tools used in protecting your home, make sure yours are of high quality. Dead-bo- lt and locks are good choices. However, be careful of locks which require a key to open them from the inside, since they could prevent a quick escape during a fire. Don't carry an identification tag listing your name and address with your keys. They might fall into the hands of a thief who could easily locate your house. It's also a good practice to remove all keys from coat pockets before checking, or hanging your coat in public places. Use a marking tool to engrave your license or social security number on the backs of valuables such as stereos and television sets. Liberty suggests you check with your local police department since many offer this service or other similar programs free of charge. One of the best ways to deter a thief is by installing a burglar alarm. There are several different systems on the market, ranging from horn or siren alarms designed to scare intruders away, to silent ones which transmit a signal to a central security headquarters. Whatev-er kind you decide to buy, make sure detectors are on every door and window. You don't want to leave any part of your house unprotected. Some of the best allies in your fight against burglary could be your neighbors. Offer to watch over their houses when they're on vacation, and ask them to do the same for you. Encourage them to take part in community check programs, and to report any suspicious activities in the neighborhood to the police immediately. Of course, there's no sure way to completely safeguard your home against burglary. But by following these tips, you can decrease your chances of falling victim to a thief. JjLl ed Jla v?

This was pointed out in an analysis of state finances for 1980 prepared by Utah Foundation, a private tax research organization. The Foundation study shows that general revenue in Utah during the 1980 fiscal, year totaled $1,410,038,000, while state expenditures amounted to $1,446,038,000. Not included in the expenditure total was $11,625,000 disbursed for the retirement of bonded debt. If this debt retirement disbursement had been included, the "deficit" for the year would i exceed $47.6 million. - According to the Foundation study, expenditures generally have exceeded revenues in Utah during recent years. The deficiency incurred usually has been funded by the creation of bonded debt to finance capital outlay projects. At the close of the 1980 fiscal year, the outstanding bonded debt in Utah amounted to $113.5 million. This total includes only the general obligation bonds which pledge the "full faith and credit" of the state. In addition to this general debt, revenue bonds issued by the in-stitutions of higher learning and by the Utah Housing Finance Agency add another $500 million to the state debt total. Last year state revenue collections in Utah rose by $170.9 million, or 13.8 percent. Approximately $86.1 million, or more than half of this increase, was accounted for by using tax collections resulting mainly from inflation. The only tax increases reflected in the 1979-8- 0 revenues were a two cent per pack increase in the cigarette tax, a nt boost in the driver education tax, and higher unemployment taxes paid by employers. On the other hand, total revenues ,in the state were reduced by a $47.7 million general tax rebate during the year. The study shows that the sales tax continues as the most productive state tax source in Utah, ac-counting for $322 million, or 22 percent of all state revenue last year. Income tax collections (both individual and corporate) came in a close second with $308 million, or 21 percent of the 1980 revenue total. Other major tax sources were the motor fuel tax, $75 million, and the unemployment com-pensation tax, $53 million. The report notes that property taxes charged in Utah during the 1979-8- 0 fiscal period totaled $341.4 million. Property taxes, however, are imposed entirely by local units of government (school districts, counties, municipalities, and special districts). No part of the property tax is used for state government purposes. More than four-fifth- s of the state budget in Utah is expended for education, social services, and transportation. As has been the case throughout the years, education continues as the number one area of state spending, accounting for $589 million, or 41 percent of all expenditures in Utah. State expenditures for public schools totaled $404 million and higher education expenditures amounted to $185 million. These expenditures for education do not include education spending from local sources and capital outlay expenditures at the educational institutions. Total expenditures of the public schools from federal, state, and local sources totaled $672 million I (exclusive of bond retirement). Of this amount, $203 million, or 30 percent came from the property tax. (Continued From The Front) Hospital The eight orderlies are responsible for transporting patients to and from the operating room, running errands, delivering equipment and blood and some housekeeping duties. "The orderlies are crucial," ex-plained Kennett, because they do all the stuff we really don't have the time to do." The 20 ORT's (or scrubs) set up the instruments before the operation, and during the operation must maintain a sterile field and assist the doctor by handing him the necessary equip-ment. And rarely does she hear the old "scalpel, please. Scissors" routine we hear so often on TV. "If you're a good scrub you don't hear anything from the surgeon," explained Mrs. Kopp. That's part of the challange - you must anticipate what he is going to need next. The next time you see one of those funny looking people in the green suits, remember, they're a lot more important than they look. |
