Albert Tregaskis Again Director of Utah Co-op. Albert Tregaskis was reelected a director of the Utah Poultry and Farmers Cooperative: for "a three year term at the twenty- sixth annual convention of the organization at Salt Lake City William R. Zollinger of Providence Provi-dence was elected president of the organization for the ensuing year. Twenty-year service pins were awarded to Hazel Allred, J. W. Binnell, Marion Christensen, Earl Cook,' Bert Durrant, Hyrum R. dray, Lionel B. Johnson, and Leonard Robinson, of the Ameri can Fork district. About 75 local producers attended at-tended the meeting and upon returning re-turning expressed the opinion that it was the most Informative and enjoyable convention ever staged by the cooperative. Highlights of the convention were addresses by Dr. F. R. Beaudette.of New Brunswick, N. J., on the New Castle disease; Carl Frlschknecht, USAC extension exten-sion service director, on the Importance Im-portance of the cooperative which is the third largest in the United States; and Clyde C. Edmonds, general manager of the cooperative, coopera-tive, who warned that one of the biggest problems facing the poultry poul-try Industry Is the elimination of government support prices. Mr. Edmonds said the support program pro-gram encouraged people to stay in the business who normally were not poultry producers thereby there-by putting the quantity production produc-tion of some areas in competition with Utah's quality production. if id ,ff Jf rfjrjfl Q t .1 ( H t tt ' WF7 ' D NOT WHEN YOUR ELECTRICAL WORK IS DONE BY " . . -.-...',,,.,. .... ; . ;- tt t tpt -mvir Ti tt irrtn.

' All members of the House of Representatives said that the debate and the vote on the Rankin Ran-kin Veterans Bill was probably the most interesting that the House has had In several years. Long before I wit salt Lake City, I Interrogated every young man who was a veteran. I asked him what he thought about pensions and bonuses for. veterans, and without one exception each one replied, "Judge Bosone, we appreciate ap-preciate the O. 2. Bill of Rights; tare can make our own way. Go back - to.: Washington. and. .do everything you can for the dis abled veteran." I thought this was a magnincent attitude to take, for after all, there is no price great enough to pay for heroism and patriotism. The House has for.weeks heard rumblings about the Rankin Bill how Congressman Rankin of Mississippi was going to put the members on the spot because, it was said, regardless of the type of legislation this Bill was, the members would be afraid to vote "No" for fear of not being re elected. As the debate proceeded In the House this week, it was most interesting in-teresting to see the World War II veteran speak against the Bill describing It as one he did not want that he as, a young man realized the great burden that it was to put on this nation. Some of them, crippled as they were, struggled to get on their feet to plead with the House members not to burden the oncoming generations gen-erations with this legislation be cause It would cost billions of dollars. I wish you could have heard those heroes on the floor of the House describing how long they had spent In service and in the battle of war. Their bodies may be scarred, but their minds are not. It was a great inspiration inspira-tion to me to realize that these young veterans were not "grabbing" "grab-bing" at something because they thought they could get It. Of course, we could see from hearing them, that they were not only heroes across the water but heroes In life. : - The Rankin Bill would have cost billions of dollars The Com mlttee Itself was divided on Its merit; and of course, I know you want to know how X voted, voted straight through to recom mlt In the oral votes and also in the recorded vote.
