The rate of withdrawal will depend on developments on three fronts; one Is the progress which may be made at the Paris talks. The other two factors are the level of enemy activity and the progress of the training program of the South Vietnamese forces." The President said that enemy infiltration in the last three months Is less than one-fif- th what it was in the same period last year and In the past two months U. S. Casualties have declined to a three year low. His last statement indicated to me that, this administration Is making progress and that many, many lives are being saved.

Myton Neola Randlett Lapoint Tabiona Trldell Utahn Whiterocks Revitalization is needed! With the plugging" this week of the dam at Starvation Reservoir, west of Duchesne, one cant help but reflect on the significance of this action, and the impact that the project will have, in relation to the whole Central Utah Project, on a large section of Utah. As important as this step is, however, it causes one to reflect on some yet unanswered questions as to the future of the Central Utah Project. The massive Central Utah Project is designed to insure an expanding water supply for the growing Wasatch Front counties. The overall project involves the' movement of water from as far east as the Flaming Gorge area to as far west as Juab county. It involoves the exchange of water for water in order to shift the stream flow to the west. The Starvation Dam and Reservoir are the first major steps under (his huge major This is true, despite the fact that the CUP was approved by Congress as part of the Colorado Storage Project, way back in 1956. After 13 years, with many delays and disappointments, the first major works is nearing completion. However, this reservoir is only one cog in the complete wheel. In and of itself it serves a purpose and is useful. But how much more useful will it be as a part of the wnuie wheel, as the ultimate completion of the CUP is fully realized! As things stand now, the Central Utah Project is nearly at a standstill. The failure of Congress to provide adequate funding is seriously hampering the scheduled work. Here, in the Bonneville area, several new works are on the drawing board, ready to go as soon as funds are available. The enlargement of Strawberry Reservoir holds high priority on the list, followed by additional tunnels, conduits, diversion dams, canals and containment reservoirs. But these projects are pushed further into the future each year, as lack of funds prevents the awarding of major contracts. Because of this situation, we are facel with another factor which is costly, not only to this area, but also to the reclamation program as a whole. Many qualified personnel in the Bureau of Reclamation are faced with a decision. As present jobs are completed, and no new starts assured, they must decide as to their future. Some of these men will be lost to the redamatior field, as they seek employ men-- , in other construction fields. Some will be successful in transferring to other jobs, and still others will be faced with the prospects of riding out" the slack period. It would appear to us that delays are costly. It may even prove to be more costly than the allocation of sufficient funds tp get the project under full steam again. Since the entire Central Utah Project is an inter-relate-d network of smaller units, each, more or less dependent on the other for success, we feel that the practice of withholding funds from any new starts" is a falacy. The Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project has been started. All of the attendant structures are needed to move - the unit to a Completion. To classify each as a new I tart, with the accompanying fight for funds, is seriously hampering the advancement of the ultimate goal. It is hoped that funds can be made available whereby the Bureau of Reclamation can move forward at programmed speed in order to prevent waste in manpower, as well as the loss Dear Editor; The following article was printed last week In the Union high school "Student I hope that you will reprint It so that your readers may have the opportunity to begin thinking for themn." selves. RED RULES FOR REVOLUTION by Mr. Hulllnger In May 1919 at Dusseldorf Germany the Allied forces obtained a copy of some of the Communist rules for revolution. Now, fifty years later, the Reds are still "Following the Rule." As you read the list, stop after each Item and think about the present day situation In our Nation today. We quote from the Red Rules. A. Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them Interested in Make them superficial, destroy sex. their ruggedness. B. Get control of all means of publicity, thereby; 1. Get the people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays and submitted Dear Editor; Pm sure all of the townspeople will Join me in complimenting our "kids" from Union high school on their homecoming parade. Our UB1C parade would have a hard time competing, wouldnt you say? S was great to see the other schools, Roosevelt Jr. high, West Jr. high, Ashley Valley Jr. high, participate. Also to see the Roosevelt elementary, Roosevelt Jr. high and West Jr. high come and watch the parade. We should give our young people and the faculty a big thanks. A special thanks to Mr. Johnson, faculty chairman, for all of the hard work and efforts. Proud of our Union high Faye Yack other trivialities. Divide the people into hostile 2. groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no Importance. 3. Destroy the peoples faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy. 4. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible. 5. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy Its credit, produce fear of Inflation with rising prices and general discontent. 6. Forment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders. 7. By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honest, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness. C. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view of confiscating them and leaving the population helpless. Take time to think seriously of the above and draw you own conclusions. What can we do about our Internal problems? President Richard Nixon has called us the "vast majority." I think that it is about time that we show our majority strength by resisting those things we feel are wrong today. Are we going to sit back, as in the past, and allow ourselves to be dictated to by a small minority with loud voices and violence? Thank you for the freedom of the press and to Mr. Hulllnger for bringing these things to attention of our students. Sincerely, Mrs. Colleen Mantyla Dear Editor; I was very much Impressed with the speech President Nixon gave Nov. 3. would like to pass on a few of his comments to those who may not have heard It, and also ask the public to give President Nixon and his administration their support. Discussing his withdrawal plan from South Vietnam Nixon said, "I have not and of efficiency which is being ex- perienced through delay in placing the entire project in operation. We feel that Congress must be made aware of the importance of this project to Utah and to the West They should also realize that delay is costly.
