I find it easy to love America, not only because of the wondrous, rich, beautiful land; not only because of the works of my fellow men which inspire my admiration; not only because of our people who are vigorous and creative; not only because of our form of government, where I cherish the right to believe and vote and speak and worship as I choose; but I love America because of the totality of the idea of America which is unique and superior, in my opinion, to any other idea of nationality that has existed and has survived. America was founded as a Christian nation. Pericles built a civilization upon culture, and it failed. Caesar built a civilization upon power, and it failed. Our' forefathers founded our nation upon the Christian religion, and America will live so long as the Lord is our God. I love America and think she is right because of her founding fathers and her firm foundation, and also because it is the land of the free. However, we must not let our freedom become a license to do as we please.

Salt Lake City, Utah 84115 Second Cbcs Poctnga CONVENTION PREVIEW IN UTAH Ptidat Cdf IgSaCfty, Utah .i : c2 i - - vl- - O. X Washington: The importance of the West in the crucial homestretch drive for delegates is highlighted by the advance political attention being given the of National Asconference sociation of County Officials (NACO) in Salt Lake City next month. All of the major candidates of both political parties, including President Ford, have accepted invitations to attend and speak at the NACos grass roots 41st annual conference. Scheduled to take place June 26 to 30, the conference is midway between the- final Presidential primaries on June 8 (California, Ohio, New Jersey) and the opening of the Democratic .National Convention in New York Gty on - wj -- 4 nj il -4 v - O July 12. The timing and location will provide the candidates of both parties a major forum to unveil their last minute domestic programs and to try to win over uncommitted delegates before the parties two big political showdowns. What makes the coming NACo meeting so politically unique is that hundreds of the estimated 3,500 county officials planning to gather in Salt Lake Gty, also will be delegegates to the Democratic and Republican National Conventions in July and August. Many of these delegates are still uncommitted. Because of their key political roles in their local communities, other hundreds of these county officials have tremendous political influence with the delegates selected from their areas. Thus, what these county officials and local politicians hear and see at the Salt Lake Gty meeting could go a long way toward determining how and for whom theic influence will be used. The Salt Lake City gathering is being viewed by most of the candidates as a sort of preconvention show where they will have a first hand chance to exert their personal charm and influence on persons who will have a big voice in selecting the next President. The Presidential hopefuls will sesspeak at three conference-wid-e sions, Monday, June 28, and Tuesday, June 29, after President Ford speaks on Sunday, June 27. Significantly, the President's address will be from the Mormon Tabernacle immediately following a presentation by the famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The other candidates will speak at the Salt Palace, site of the NACo conference headquarters. non-votin- g, THE BIG NAME- S- Other Presidential candidates or possibilities, who plan to attend and speak are: Former California Governor Ronald Reagan; former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter; Californias Governor Edmund 'Alabama's Governor Brown; Frank Senators Wallace; George Church (D.
