Do we try to point out a future possibility which they might be able to attain through proper encouragement? recently heard a man say be felt very grateful-to the government for aid for himself and family in the way of present relief and trusted the time would soon come when plenty of work would lift him to a station where he could return the debt of gratitude and he hoped -same Jr PHONE HYL25AN2OD I THIS TLY1 SPRAY STAIN FABRICS Saturday I went up to the stadium to see the football fiesta And I thought everything was swell A thousand happy children danced around Maypoles while the bend played "School Days" and the El Kalah band and patrol played and drilled as though inspired And they were too for I know them all and I know that every one of them was thinking of the little crippled children for whom the affair was being that some too far too would be able to run Jump and dance And have you never noticed how much more fun you get when you do something that not only gives you pleasure but also helps someone else less fortunate?

815J-86619 est rents royalties and dividends had "net" tax income of $3735723 took a property tax "offset" of $48044 and were charged with franchise taxes in the sum of $65112 The corporate receipts were 43 times the taxable income The franchise tax was $1 in $2470 of business done in the state And yet when it was proposed to repeal this petty property tax offset these corporations sent their -paid' spielers to the revenue committee to squeal like they were stuck in the neck And when the question of repealing the offset was before the Utah senate hours upon nturs were ton sumed in
