Show Review - Wednesday, Sept. 7. 1988 - Page 4 Rural educators urge rejection of tax rollback initiatives citing drastic cuts The Utah Rural Schools Asso-ciation (URSA) has adopted three formal resolutions encouraging all its members and the citizens of Utah to vote against the tax roll-back initiatives that will appear on next November's election ballot. According to Bill Cowan, small rural schools specialist, Utah State Office of Education, the action was taken on July 27, 1988, when the organization's Executive Commit-tee met at the offices of the Emery Board of Education in Huntington. Currently serving as the URSA president is Mark Littleford, prin-cipal ofSouth Summit High School, Kamas. Mark explained that rural educators expressed mounting concerns about general lack of knowledge related to the tax limi-tation proposalsandrecommended that the URSA take a strong and specific position on each initiative. The URSA's stand against Ini-tiative C, the Family Choice in Education Act, cites shortages in education funding, the association's tendency to place value on local control, a tuition tax credit level too low to benefit most families, and the fact that parents can already send their children to private schools if they wisn. In its resolution against Initia-tive B, the People's Tax Reduction Act, the URSA stated in part that the initiative will result in substan-tial reductions in money available for schools; Utah schools are al ready funded below a average; education j. n cost-effecti- C lu nomic productive i9Tnt; Utah needs industry. nS The resolution again , mg limitation AnS8 pressessimilarbeliefs.SU erty taxes are tax revenue relativelyiow will depri;j schools; no future plan t lostfundingexistsjchildr foundation of ou good education is ofSS tance to rural commu rural children. es pleasant living Family to honor Don, Barbara Fowles at fortieth wedding anniversary party I. .!

Pleasant rlHVf I Grove LlffU 785 3221 David Faux, Pharmacist Relief from Allergy Symptoms Allergic reactions can be so mild that they are hardly noticed or so severe that they become life threatening. Reactions can occur from exposure to things that we eat (milk, eggs, strawberries), inhale (molds, dust, plant pollen, feathers), ingest (some anti-biotics), or contact (poison ivy, cosmetics, household detergents). Substances that penetrate the skin such as insect venom may also cause allergic reactions. These substances, which are called allergens, cause the release of histamine and other chemicals in the body. Allergic symptoms often include a swollen, itchy, runny, or slopped up nose; tearing, red, swollen eyes; and, sometimes, coughing, wheezing, and sneezing. Allergy relief begins with the avoidance of known allergens. Nonprescription medicines for allergy include the antihistamines and decongestants. Antihista-mines, which block the effect of histamine, help reduce swelling and itching. They are usually more effective if taken before exposure to allergens. Decon-gestants cause a shrinkage of swollen nasal passages. Topical nasal decongestants (nose drops and sprays) should be used no longer than three or four days to avoid the possible occurrence of rebound congestion. 7 m yourwedding fcxl W JlpLr I Cleaning & Storage I Bridal Registry Bridal Dresses I Photographer E&.
