It'll Be A Great Day Looks like things are shaping up beautifully for the Jim Bridger Day picnic Saturday in Willard basin, near the top of the Wasatches near Inspiration Point and Bert Lomond, highest peak in this area. Ben Call, chairman of the committee making arrangements for the picnic, reports that there is a great deal of enthusiasm' in all four of the participating towns : Mantua, Perry, Willard and Brigham City. The road is in the best condition it has been in for a number of years, and any car in good condition will be able to pull it without difficulty.

Certainly such a record is unexcusable. Why should we continue to have to apologize for the worst highways of most any state in the union. Why should we have to see cars broken down traveling over such highways as Spanish Fork and Price canyons? Why we must put up with excuses instead of action, why politics should have preference to necessity in road planning, and why the transportation of our coal, which pays a great portion of gas taxes, must suffer, are just a few of the questions that must We feel be answered? that a change is needed.

National Newspaper week will be observed October 1 to 8, foleslowing the date precedent tablished nine years ago when the first observance was held. Plans for the special observance of National Newspaper day, October 2, are being made. The theme of National. Newspaper week this year will center about the simple yet thought provoking subject of How to Read a Newspaper, Mr. Zielke said. The 1948 committee believes that this years campaign should concern itself again with the promotion of the basic fundamentals of newspapers. The committee suggests that much can be accomplished by an objective campaign to inform the public as to the functions and responsibilities of newspapers and as to the many difficulties, both routine and unmust usual, which newspapers regularly overcome in performing their functions and meeting their responsibilities. It is the, hope of the committee, Mr. Zielke added, that all newspapers will cooperate to A Britisher with two depen- the end that the reading public dents must pay a tax of $1,655 a will have a better appreciation year if he makes $5,000 a year, of newspapers by knowing more but an American pays only $804 about them." under the same conditions.
