Why would the United States of America, once the most powerful military nation in the world, allow themselves to become second to Russia? According to a newly published book, Kissinger, The Secret Side of the Secretary of State, the finger of righteous indignation can be pointed at Henry Kissinger, or Super K among his admirers. His policy of detente has brought about a few statistics that should interest and alarm you. In 1968, when the first SALT talks were scheduled, the United States possessed 1,054 intercontinental ballistic missiles; the Soviets had only 850. By 1975, however, the Soviets had 1,618 long range missiles deployed while we in turn, still had 1,054. In other words, a adAmerican vantage" had changed to an e Soviet Superiority. While the Soviet armed forces have expanded from 1.8 million, to 2.5 million, the U.S. has seen a drop from 940,000 to eight-to-fiv- water system. More than half the population of the U.S. live in communities which fluoride their water. Nationally fluoridation has reduced cavities on an average less than 790,000 men in uniform. The Soviet submarine fleet consists of 253 attack submarines compared to 73 for the U.S. This fleet is larger than the American, British and French forces combined. These submarines are also the largest in the world and are equipped with 12 tubes for firing nuclear missiles.' (The missiles, incidentally, have a range of some 4,000 miles.) And with such subs now patrolling off our Atlantic, cavities since the fluoridation that citys water supply. of , ding-dongin- g Pacific and Gulf coasts, there is not a town in America that is not within range of Soviet nuclear missiles this very evening. I wonder if it isnt time the American people wake up and put a stop to this kind of betrayal by those in high places. A good "place to start would be to read the above book and then write letters and demand that Kissinger be fired. Thank you, .

"We plan to campaign Time, they used to say, marches on. Alma Peterson, far more than most, has helped to measure the march of time. In his home, where he still practices his trade, there is clearly audible the ticking of clocks. Their ticking is not in unison because, Alma says, clocks are individuals who speak with their own voices. Sometimes the sounds of the ticking are interrupted by the of a chime clock the striking quarter hour or a gong marking the half hour. And always, of course, the slow counting of the hours. "I dont hear them in the I Alma says. night, sleep through, unless theres a thunderstorm. I dont notice them . much in the daytime, either, but they make the house seem alive. Theyre always there, like members of the family. Alma doesnt work on watches anymore. But he does work with clocks mantel clocks, kitchen clocks, grandfather clocks. He cleans them polishes their faces,' replaces their gears, gets them going again. "People cherish old clocks, Often the ones he says. brought to me are heirlooms. Theyve been handed down for generations. Theyre the clock rethat a ceived on her wedding day, or the clock that crossed the plains or the clock that is especially remembered from childhood. Sometimes it doesnt take much to get them going again some cleaning, a little oil and encouragement. But sometimes I have to manufacture parts if the gears are gone or bearings have to be replaced. ' He says that parts are often hard to come by. Sometimes he cannabilizes one old clock, that has had its day, for the parts that will keep another going. I transplant, he say$. Alma Petersons close relationship with the devices that man uses to measure time began in childhood. His father. Christen Peterson, learned the watchmaker's craft in his native Denmark five years as an apprentice and ' then two years as a master craftsman. He brought his skills with him when he and his wife, LDS converts, immigrated to America on their wedding day. Almas father gave him a watch for his fifth birthday on August 17, 1897.

I wore it to school and often held it to my ear to make sure that it was ticking and maybe to get a little attention. Dollar watches were very good watches in those days and I had this watch for years. Aid Class Is Scheduled Cross first aid class for members of the Manti Utah Stake will have its opening session Oct. 5 at 6 p.m. in the Ephraim City building. Earl Ursenbach, Mt. Pleasant, Sanpete County first aid chairman, will be the instructor. Additional openings for those who wish to take the class, particularly those who want to renew their first aid instructor's certificate, may still be available. according to Mrs. Blod-weOlsen, Sanpete County Red Cross chairman. A Red n r t "Sometimes I watched my father at his work. He was a careful, conscientious . work- man. Before he ever returned a watch or a clock to a customer he made sure that it was running properly and kept good time. This was the code of craftsmen in his time the work must be done properly. I learned much from my fathers attitude about his trade." Alma also learned the skills from his father. On his tenth birthday, he began reporting to his fathers shop in Manti after Alma says, school. First, he taught me how to take a clock apart and clean the parts. Then he would reassemble the works. Later, 1 learned the entire process. Alma worked after school until 8, and then went home for supper and his school work. he says, the Sometimes, curfew would be sounding 9 when we turned the key in the lock and went home. He was paid 10 cents a day for work after school; 50 cents It sounds like . for Saturdays. very little now, he says, but some of my friends considered me a rich boy. Father charged $1.00 for cleaning a clock. Later he raised the price to $1.50. A clock took most of a day." When Alma was 16 he joined the Utah National Guard. He became an expert rifleman, participated in the Mexican Border expedition and served overseas in World War I. "I believe 1 kissed every lady from Manti before boarding the When train, he .recalls. Mayor W. W. Brown shook hands with me, he left a ten dollar bill in my hand. It looked like a hundred dollars to me, because I was nearly broke. After serving the nation for 360 days during World War I, Alma returned home and was sOon again repairing watches and clocks. I had sometimes he thought of other things, for "of one, optometry, says, but watchmaker became my life trade. Perhaps it was inevitable I had acquired the skills under the careful instruction of a man of the old school my father. In 1923 Alma married Mary Rust. For their 1922 Christmas, she had given him a book of poetry, A Heap O Livin, and he had given her an Elgin watch. In a way the exchange symbolized certain of their -- . major interests a Mary,Alma, a skilled - gentle poet. craftsman. He continued to follow his trade but he also found time for other things: Scoutmaster, bishop, high council member, city councilman, speaker at many funerals, mandolin player for the Plink Plank Orchestra. He also found time to teach three of his sons his trade. He also found time, almost every afternoon abotit 4, to sally forth from his Main Street shop for a chocolate malt with one of his pals. A good, rich malt," he claims, is like food from Heaven."' On New Year's eve Dec. 31, 1968 Alma says, he bid farewell to his principal vocation in life jeweler and watchmaker. But that isnt quite true. Because on the night he left the Main Street shop, he took some of his tools home with him. And at his home now he can often be found, after he has had breakfast and read the paper, glass to his eye and tiny screwdriver in hand, working on a clock. I watches dont have even have any works. But I love an old clock. If someone brings one in an old clock maybe a century old with a lot of sentiment attached I cant say No. And so I clean and oil maybe improvise a gear from a bit of g brass getting it again speaking the language it knows and that measures all our days. And thats Alma Peterson ding-dongin- watchmaker extraordinary and many things more.
