We dont recall any foolishness of that sort on the part of any prisoners on either side during the last war. Suppose that had been an Amcr-ca- n army base instead of a prison camp. Suppose American soldiers had captured one of their own generals and set out to hold him until their demands were met. Would they have been let off as easy as the Red murderers? Not on your life. How much longer must we put up with an inept administration that kills off youth and strips us of our resources while it licks the boot of the enemy in war? Regretful My neighbor came to call today And there was much I meant to cay: That I enjoy her window lights, Shining my way rainy nights, I meant to say: Across the lawn, I hear your bird sing in the dawn. Instead, we talked of falling wages, Discussed our friends' increasing ages; We spoke of murders, racketeers, And how the budget disappears. My tongue is now in deep disgrace Because my words were commonplace. I wish they had not gone away-Thlovely words I meant to say.

Liberty A La Stalin A worker in one of the Russian occupied countries, according to a recent story told by H. V. Kaltcn-bornews commentator, is reported to have expressed preference for the word of his former Queen as against that of the would-b- e world ruler, Stalin. He was tried in a Russian court, now sitting in his country, and sentenced to ten years in a prison camp. He had insulted Stalin and the whole Russian people! If anybody in the United States has an idea that the world can retain liberty under the regime of Stalin, this incident ought to give them another idea. n, A news agency informs us that after victory, Stalin will organize Europe like a department store.

Housing Official Meets With Local Men Motorists Warned Of Dangers Of Vacation, Hot Weather Driving Mr. J. Meyerhoffer, official of the House, Home and Finance Agency of the federal government, met Monday afternoon with a group of local men and seemed very optimistic over obtaining additional housing unit permits for Magna. These homes from $8,000 to $8500 can be built where there is a need, and are exempt under restricted credit laws. Mr. Meyerhoffer said that probably from 50 to 100 permits would be given for construction of units in this community, and told the group consisting of George F. Cromar, Howard Ridge, Henry Mori and L. O. Larson, that he would endorse such action. These houses are for people who have to commute to their work and pay $1.00 for round trip, including bus, taxi fare or other costs of transportation. In case permits are given for the homes and they are not sold to such commuters, they may be advertised for sale for 60 days, and then sold to local people. Veterans may buy one of the homes with the loan costs the down payment (about $250) and STUDYING IN HOLLYWOOD - well-know- All during her life, the energetic little lady had served her fellow-ma- n, helping and aiding in town improvements the person primarily responsible for obtaining the first street lights in Magna, the public library, organization of fine civic groups, such as the Magna Women's Club, the old Commercial Club and others.

Mr. Tittman said both the new phosphate fertilizer plant and the Garfield Chemical acid addition would be completed by the third quarter of 1953. Approximately 600 acres of land near the AS8tR smelter at Garfield have been set aside for the new plant. Another industry will come to our community this year, employing about 75 men, adding a great deal to the value of this vicinity and eliminating practically all smoke in this area emanating from the eight converters of AS and Rs copper smelter. This announcement was made by E. McL. Tittmann, president of the Garfield and Manufacturing Company and western department manager for AS&R.

Now awaiting the final cleanup of minor details, Magna's long awaited and much sought-aftbetter water is within a few days of being placed into service for local residents, announce officials of the Magna Water Company, the community owned concern. The Board of trustees and engineers of the company wish to explain to the water users and residents several facts. The pressure from the new 500,000 gallon reservoir will be over 80 pounds at Main Street- -a pressure that will undoubtedly blow out many of the old steel town lines that 8 and were installed in even before. When a pressure regulator is received (held up due to the steel strike), it will be installed on 8950 West between 3000 and 3100 South, to give all residents service from the new reservoir and the new water. This will allow all homes to use the new water, but not at full pressure until old pipes are replaced. Remedy Offered To offset the danger of ripping out the older lines, it appears now that a portion of the town must remain on the present reservoir and the water now in use. As soon as the iron pipe is available (held up due to the steel strike), the Magna Water Company will install new Main lines.
