Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH ' 700 YEARS OF BROTHERHOOD YMCA Charts Five-Pa- rt Program To Cover Rural Areas of Nation (The second of two articles.) One hundred yean ago the Young Men's Christian Associa-tion, known familiarly to four gen-erations of Americans as the "Y", was founded In the U. S. to fight vice, degradation and delinquency in the cities. Now, In planning Its next century, the YMCA Is going to move into small towns and rural areas. The YMCA began aiding service-men during the Civil War when Y workers, called "Christians" by the soldiers, followed both armies to serve decently cooked hot meals, help tend the wounded and insist on the humane treatment of pris-oners of war. In the Spanish Amer-ican War, they Introduced dough-nuts and coffee to soldiers. At one battle they arrived with their ra-tions some three hours ahead of the troops! During World War I, the Y, according to General Per-shing, performed 90 per cent of the welfare work for soldiers over-seas and during the recent con-flict, as now, the YMCA comprised one-thir- d of the soldier-servic- e organization known as the U.S.O. The best of the Y's hundred years of experience will go Into the new five-pa- rt program designed to cov-er non-urba- n areas. The organiza-tion will work this way: 1. The Small City Association, to operate as independent units In cities under 25,000 population. 2. The Town and Country Asso-ciation, covering both farms and small towns in a single county or group of counties. 3. The County Branch, covering a rural area centered about a large city. 4. The Outreach Program, ex-tending from a thriving city YMCA to cover small neighboring com-munities. 5. The District Program, all ru-ral, directed by the state YMCA organization but sponsored socially and financially by the area served. FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, of course, will play a large part in the Y's scheduled rural drive. YMCA officials emphasize that the Y can-not and will not begin at the out-set to construct large, streamlined buildings, with hotel space, gymna-sium, meeting rooms and swim-ming pools in order to lure mem-bers. A YMCA, they explain, must first establish a firm spiritual foundation and a record for con-crete service to the community be-fore it can begin to think in terms of permanent headquarters. Instead, the organization burden will fall largely on the rural sec-retary, a YMCA career man who has been given special training for his job and, more likely than not, been educated at one of the Y's twenty-fiv- e degree-grantin- g col-leges. He will begin, like the found-ers of the first YMCA in Boston in December of 1851, by interesting social-minde- d members of the com-munity in the Y movement. He may work through churches of all denominations or through the pub-lic schools. Depending upon how long he has been in the area he will spend three months to a year observing local conditions and then report lengthily to his superiors on how, in his opinion, the YMCA can best improve its foothold in your community and extend its services to the people who live there. The stated purpose of the Y, which is to develop Christian lead-ership among the nation's youth, has already helped to mould the character of such YMCA alumni as President Truman, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Douglas, Gene Tun-ne- y. Senator Robert Taft of Ohio and thousands of other figures of national importance. Its fondest hope for the future Is that it can help to build similar qualities in the young men and women who must see the nation safely through its next hundred years. 1 CnDSSWDBD PUZZLE I SfctFrT?nf ACROSS 5 Correct 22.

Get DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK1 By INEZ GERHARD EVERYBODY but Columbia plans for Rita Hay-wort-her home studio is just wait-ing for her to report for work. With a large part of the American public agog to see her because of her much publicized romance, they could put her into a dramatization of the alphabet and make millions. Virginia Van Upp has completed two stories for Rita, and It is ru-mored that Metro wants to borrow her for "The Merry Widow".

Or would that come dangerously close to being auto-biographical? Gertrude Astor begins her S7th year in pictures by playing the role of the landlady In "The Dark Page". She says she must have ap-peared in 1400 films, beginning in 1914 when she went to California to work in "Under Two Flags". Jackie Kelk, "Homer" of "The Aldrich Family", has Just received an offer of more than $5,000 for his extensive postage stamp collection; it was made by Louis Ramvuela, who owns cattle ranches in Argen-tina. Kelk hates to sell it.

Joan Fontaine got very little pub-licity when she curtsied to Madam Peron, did somewhat better when she did Paris with Prince Aly Khan, whose marriage to Rita reaped headlines for her. FICTION ANOTHER GOOD CROP CORNER By James B. Holm mWlk Ash wood used for baseball bats is cured in a shed where it will dry thoroughly in about two years. If the wood is not thoroughly dry the bat will not be lively and a batter will not like the feel of the wood in his hands. Gertrude Berg, who created "Molly Goldberg" 21 years ago and has been playing it ever since, brought her stage superstitions to Hollywood when she made her debut in Paramount's "The Gold- - bergs." Mrs. Berg insists all members of her cast step onto the stage with their right foot first. riARM FOLKS are always asking a squire for information and ad-vice on law. Dave Tidwell was no exception. Dave was a leathery faced man in his sixties. I was attracted by I a peach tree on his place, then in 3M!nnta m bearing. He 8ave me a few I peaches. Dave's place didn't look any too prosperous. He spoke of his dilapi-dated old car near the barn. "I guess I'll never have money enough to buy a new on," he said. "Can't make anything on this place now." I could see he had something else on his mind. Pretty soon be started to ask questions. "Squire, who does money belong to if it's found hidden in a man's barn?" "Why, 1 suppose It would belong to him, unless someone else could prove direct ownership," I told him. More questions were asked, rath-er cautiously. At length he said: "I nsed to have a hired man named Obie Hart. Don't know If you ever heard of him or not. He'd dead now. lie was a good fellow. "When he was a young man, he and his brother Sid lived around here. Obie got engaged to a girl but she threw him over for Sid. Obie always hated Sid for that and left home. Never spoke to Sid again. He came to work for me nearly forty years ago and stayed until last year when he died. I didn't pay him much but he saved his money. He didn't trust banks, either, and he never married. I could see he had something else on his mind. Pretty soon he started to ask questions. ii It FTER HE GOT sick last year Obie didn't live long. One day I was talking to him and he said, 'Dave, if anything happens to me I got money enough in my clothes to bury me. Better get it right now over there.' I did and we counted it out. He acted like he wanted to tell me something more, but all he ever said was that he didn't want Sid to have anything of his. "A few days later Obie died. The money wasn't quite enough to bury him, but that was all right. I paid the balance. Sure enough, Sid came snooping around, inquiring about Obie's money. I told him what I knew but I guess he didn't believe me. Argued on it and huffed and puffed. Was real ugly about it, too. He claimed Obie's clothes and watch. Probably his by law anyhow. I couldn't prove anything different, could I?" "Now here a couple of weeks go I was working in the barn and came across a wad of ten dollar bills stuck away in a mortise slot. Wasn't a great deal. I don't know who put It there. Who does the money be-long to?" "Dave," I said, "I can't advise you, but if it had been me that found it, I wouldn't do any hunting for an owner. It's your bam, isn't it?" We looked at each other with the light of understanding between us. "I don't know if there's any more there or not," said Dave. "As I said, I don't know what Obie did with his money. He must have ac-cumulated quite a little in forty years. He may have done something with it I don't know about, or any-one. Anyhow, he liked to be alone around ihe barn a great deal." "Dave," I said, "what people don't know won't hurt them. If I found any money in my barn I would regard it as another good crop. If anyone thought different, it would be up to him to prove his claim." Dave looked satisfied. "I guess 1 can trust you, can't L squire?" I forgot all about the matter until a year later. Then Dave Tidwell came to my office carrying a half bushel basket of peaches. 'These are some of the peaches you liked so well, squire," he said. "I had another nice crop this year. Matter of fact, all crops were good this year. No charge. My regards." The look he gave me was a pe-culiar, knowing one and confidential like. I looked out my window and saw Dave drive away. He was driving a nice new automobile. It was make that must have cost twenty-fiv- e hundred dollars or more. SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World Korean Conflict Is One Year Old; World War May Have Been Averted SOON IF AT ALL A few days ago June 25 the Korean war was one year 'old. Today, after a year of fighting Communism in battle, the questions uppermost in the minds of most Americans Is what are the chances for world peace? Is World War III nearer or more remote? A great many unknown factors and "ifs" arise with such questions. But there is a growing belief in the world today that a general war is more remote than a year ago. This reasoning is based mainly upon two points: (1) The free nations of the world are growing stronger every day; 2 the free world has demonstrated in deeds as well as words it will resist aggression. There is one fact that none of the free nations of the world is over-looking. There is the possibility, in the face of the west's growing strength, that the Soviet Union realizes It must act soon, if at all. To wait would only give the west time to grow so strong that victory for Communism would be an impossibiliy. The Korean war seems to have accomplished several things. It brought to life the west's lagging plans to marshal military, political and economic resources to meet future aggression. And these moves may have served as a deterrent to ambitious aggressors. TEXAS TOUR Gen. Douglas MacArthur flew to Texas for a number of official receptions and speeches. For three days he preached his doc-trine of a realistic approach to far east problems. He went so far in a Dallas speech as to say "it is fantastically unrealistic to refuse to accept the fact that we are at war a bitter, savage and costly war." But the colorful general who has caused more controversy iri a few months than many prominent figures do In a lifetime, departed from his main theme to take a slap at the domestic policies of the Truman admin-istration. "There are those who seek to make the burden of taxation so great and the progressive increases so alarming that the spirit of adventure, tireless energy, and masterful Initiative which built the material strength of the nation shall become stultified and inert," he said. "There are those who seek to make all men servants of the state." The departure from the main theme of his speeches since he returned to the United States increased speculation that the general may be plan-ning a political career despite his assertion he is not interested in entering politics. The Texas visit has been called a test for future political moves. GRAIN FOR INDIA The long delayed grain for India bill, lending India $190,000,000 on easy terms to buy to to 2,000,000 tons of U.S. wheat and other basic foodstuffs, was signed Into law by President Truman. The bill was subject to months of heavy debate in congress before it was finally passed. Critics argued that India's opposition to some U.S. pol-icies in Korea made her an ill deserving beneficiary. Backers said it had a humanitarian purpose and, besides, it would help line up India with the western world as opposed to the Communist bloc. In the months of debate many forgot the fact that the food purchased by the loan will prevent famine in India. It was the only humane thing this nation could do. PRICE CONTROLS By the time this reaches print the defense pro-duction act which gives the government the power to control prices, wages and rents may or may not have been extended. In all probability it will have, but it will not contain the broader powers as asked by President Truman. Special interests the cattle industry, landlords, the building industry and others have used every trick at their command to get amendments tacked to the act that would be to their advantage. As a result, the house banking committee voted tentatively to knock out two future price rollbacks on live cattle planned by the office of price stabilization. Also, the senate banking committee voted to renew and ex-pand the government's rent-contr- program. But the senate committee at the same time recommended a raise in some of the rent ceilings. The committee felt that a 20 per cent increase should be allowed in some areas. Many of these areas already had from 10 to 30 per cent in-creases above 1942 levels. As for the house vote on beet rollbacks, it was a direct slap at the administration's beef policies. The vote was in the form of an amendment that would limit future price rollbacks on all agricultural commodities to 90 per cent of prices on May 19, 1951. Whatever its form, the new defense production act will be far from what President Truman asked. MACARTHUR HEARINGS Any day now the MacArthur hearings will close. It would be interesting to know what historians will make of the Incident and read into the millions of words of testimony. No hearing or debate in American history ever caused so much com-ment in the big towns and the home towns of the nation. And possibly no Incident in modern history, excepting World War U and the Korean war, received such coverage in the nation's press. It made good reading In dailies and small town newspapers alike. The debate may have been good for the nation, and certainly, was car-ried out in the best American tradition of free speech and thought. But there was one regretable aspectof the hearing. Our potential enemies now know the inner thoughts and reasoning of American foreign policy. Our policies are an open book to the entire world. RESERVISTS TO GO HOME Home town enlisted reservists-n- ot members of organized reserve or national guard units are going to be released by the army. Approximately 100,000 will be released in the next six months. There will be no "point system" or other inflexible standards to deter-mine the order in which the reservists are released. Each unit will set up its own standards, giving "primary consideration" to maintaining maximum effectiveness. But veterans who served 90 days or more during World War II are to be let out first under the general standards set up by the army. Reservists who have had previous military service other than World War II are to get sec-ond priority. GRASSROOTS GOP Again Faced With Lack of Positive Platform By Wright A. Patterson THE REPUBLICANS have named time and place, July 7, 1952, at Chicago. The especially important part of the next presi-dential campaign remains. I be-lieve the most important is the party program, the stating in clear and definite terms what the party pro-poses to the American voters. In many ways, it is of more impor-tance at this time than the selec-tion of candidates. That program must be of a positive nature. No longer can the party appeal successfully to the voters by merely "view-ing with alarm" the policies and actions of the opposition. What the voters want to know Is what the Republicans will do If they are returned to power. They want the assurance that there will re a definite turn to the right; that our free enter-prise system will be preserved; that the continuous growth In the bureaucratic army will stop, and the numbers of that army be diminished. They want to be assured that we will continue our war preparations, but will discontinue, for a time at least, the unnecessary home proj-ects that we can get along without, and by so doing, relieve the tax-payer of a considerable portion of the load he has been carrying. Such are some of the definite pronouncements the voters are looking for. They will not be satis-fied with only condemnation for the present, or any past, administration. They want to know what the Re-publicans propose for the future. In 1940, 44 and 48 the Republicans had an opportunity to win. They muffed all three chances by not proposing a definite program, and sounding hard on that program. This 1952 looks like, not only an-other, but the best of four oppor-tunities to win, provided Republican leadership can and will produce a positive platform which the voters will support. This is no time or place for In-decision. The time is for a def-inite and constructive program that will put America back on the prosperity highway, main-tain our economy and outlaw In-flation. Can the Republican lead-ership draft such program and express It In Implicit, and easily understandable phraseology? Picking the candidates is the next important step yet to be taken. Should a popular hero soldier, such as either Eisenhower or MacArthur be the candidate of either party, he would be virtually assured of elec-tion. MacArthur removed himself from consideration by the statement he made in San Francisco, a state-ment I am sure he meant. Eisen-hower's political affiliations are not definitely known, and he could be a candidate of either party. It is hardly probable that he would be a candidate for the Demo-cratic nomination if the President wishes again to be the candidate of his party. Of the strictly political leaders Taft seems to have the most strength. He demonstrated in Ohio that he is a vote getter and that the leaders of organized labor cannot dictate the politics of that group. Aside from some one of our mili-tary heroes, Taft seems to be the logical Republican candidate, and he would rtand on a platform and back such a plank to the limit. But unless Republican leaders can get together and formulate a Republican platform that has an appeal to a majority of the voters and offer such a program as a promise of the party to the people, 1952 will possibly be but another of the muffed opportunities. it will not be long now before politics will drive Korea off the front pages. The best time to go fishing will be August and September of next year. Then you can escape political ora-tory. How much of the 52 per cent of the vote the President polled four years ago, can he regain before the first Tuesday in November, 1952? Wars are costly affairs. Even after the shooting stops, the cost of pensions is to be reckoned with, and they go on forever. The adoption of that last constitu-tional amendment insures us against another Roosevelt perform-ance as a continuous candidate. It is now two terms and out Truman Presented With 4--U Club Key Marjori Sold, Savannah, MoH and Richard Golob, Sunnysidt, Wash dilegates to th list National 4-- Club Camp in tht na-tion's capital, prisent a 4-- club hey to President Truman.

AMERICAN DOCUMENTS Constitution to be Preserved in Glass America's most precious docu-ments the Declaration of Independ-ence and the Constitution will be preserved permanently in glass, it was announced recently in Wash-ington. Work on finding a suitable way of preserving the parchments began a decade ago, but was interrupted by World War II. Since the revival of the project, officials of the Library of Congress, scientists of the Na tional Bureau of Standards and Thermopane technicians of Libbey Owen-For- d glass company hav spent nearly four years perfectini special bronze and glass enclosurei tor the job. When the two historical symbol. of democracy are once safely storec in glass they will be available foi inspection by the public. |
