A lower court has ruled that the New York plan, for all its logic, violates the principle of separation of church and state. It would not be surprising if the Supreme Court agreed. Only last month, the high court ruled that the state of Ohio cannot reimburse parents for the cost of sending their children to a private school a plan justified by the fact that school attendance is mandatory, whether a child goes to a public school or not. We should not fault the Supreme Court for being scrupulous in its de- fense of constitutional principles. However, we are also confronted with the fact that private and paro Genealogical checker in the ward. She Mre. Galloway and her husband, filled a Stake Mission.

Why, then, was our little dog shot there last Thursday? I And it hard to imagine that anyone would purposely use a small dog for target practice, but it looks that way. If, in fact, he accidentally got in someone's line of fire, what business did anyone have shooting there? It could just as easily have been a cow, or a sheep, or a person across the gulch. Those of us who live in the area appreciated the sign. Now will those of you with guns recognize that they are deadly weapons-n- ot playthings. Shooting, for any reason is no game. We and our animals deserve to live without being constantly in fear of a stray bullet, however innocently fired. Mrs. Murell Johnson sparks participatioo chial schools which contribute so much to education in modern America are, by and large, on the ropes financially. Their costs, like those in the public schools, are increasing. Parents wanting to send their children to these schools are caught in the squeeze of rising tuition bills and rising tax bills to support the public system. The American Revolution Bicentennial Commission has cited an educational activity in which young people are encouraged to undertake personally oriented history projects for publication in the quarterly magazine Fox- fire. The project also encourages minority youths to preserve their own ethnic values while ident Nixon and Sen. George McGovern agreed in the recent campaign. Both supported the concept of granting a tax credit to parents who send their children to nonpublic schools. We can hope that this show of bipartisan agreement will not be forgotten by the new Congress, which will have before it a bill to provide such a credit on federal income tax returns. It is an issue that should be handled with dispatch. Many observers believe the tax BASIN MOBILE HOMES In Roosevelt and Duchesne with the Largest selection ever! ! our water supply was somewhat I have mixed feelings about this as I have tried for over a year to find literature and other information that was unbiased to support flouridation. Recently I sat across the table for one week from a medical Doctor who is one of the most widely heard proponents of Flouridation in Salt Lake City. I asked him to bring me information that would substantiate his statements and all that he brought was one sheet of paper with his ideas on it with no supporting facts. I have .read .many article against flouridation and none in favor other than the sheet the Doctor gave me. Among the many things that are written against flouridation the following is enough to make me feel there ought to really be studies made that aren't all one aided. 1. Sodium Flouride is a poison that is used to kill rats. 2. It apparently is accumulative in the human body. 3. It apparently can cause many aide effects that aren't good for people with Kidney and heart problems. 4. There is only a small segment of the population that it will help anyway, why force feed a medication to all the population. 0. Some articles I have read indicate that in some areas where water supplies deaths are more are flouridaled one-side- pre-nat- frequent These are some of the things that make me concerned and I would like a complete study made and the public informed then this issue be put to the vote of the people.

If, as tribal officials point out, the desire for longer hair on the part of the Indian students is part of their cultural identity, we see no reason why the code should not be worded to allow for these practices. It is certainly wrong to arbitrarily demand adherance to a code that is contrary to cultural practices.

Utahn Tracy Roberta Hanna Verna Hoopea Whlterocka During the past few weeks, a controversy has developed at West junior high school concerning regulations on hair length and dress codes. It basically appeared to be merely the enforcement of a dress code at the school, but has evolved into a controversy between school officials and leaders of the Ute Indian Tribe.

Waldorf-Astor- ia to refund $113,203 A New York state court found the Waldorf-Astori- a Hotel fradulently surcharged guests a total of 1113,203 and ordered the money paid back to those who demand a refund. The sum represents a 2 per cent surcharge tacked onto bills of 04,336 guests between Dec. 2, 1969, and May 21, 1970, for taking telephone messages. credit is the plan most likely to gun the sanction of the Supreme Court. It would not involve the transfer of any funds from the public treasury to s religious-oriente- d institution. There is the precedent of allowing income tax deductions for contributions to a principle which the churches so at least, have not far courts, viewed as a threat to religious free dom. It was to protect religious freedom that the Founding Fathers specified in the Bill of Rights that Congresi shall make no law respecting an es tablishment of religion. At that time, there was no public school system as we know it today. Surely there is room under the First Amendment for some kind of plan that will assure the survival of schools which provide diversity and a freedom of choice of education. tery.
