N. .v 1 Subscription Rate $2.50 Per Year EDITORIAL WHAT ABOUT OUR CENTENNIAL In the summer of 1850 travelers through this district saw it's possibilities as a settlement. That fall the first log cabin was erected and one family and a few herd boys who spent the winter here made up the original settlement. In the spring of 1851 several families came and built their homes Eighteen months from now will mark the one hundredth hun-dredth anniversary of the beginning of American Fork. Is this too early to plan tfor a celebration befitting the heroic souls who had braved the hazards of the plains,' the perils of isolation, and who had the courage to 'begin a second new settlement? The beautification program commenced before the state centennial should be intensified until every ugly spot in the rich earth they conquered blooms to their glory. In spoken words, sweet music, and pageantry, we should laud the exploits, not only of those first comers, but of all who followed and made a deep beaten path to our city. The few remaining cherished treasures showing their handicraft and culture should be housed so they will be preserved pre-served for future generations. The building for the relics should be one worthy of the cause for which it is founded. Let this be a year round celebration in which everyone contributes something to the development of the community in memory of those who first called it home. v tournaments altogether because of the physical strain but such a proposition doesn't get many listeners among those who participate. par-ticipate. The state tournament is a money-making venture and it should not deplete the coffers of the high school athletic association to allow; each team to bring a dozen players into the four-day meet. Back-Log From Citizen News Columns THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Miss Myrtle Greenwood and Mr. Joseph Walton, two of our city's most popular and highly respected young people were married In the Salt Lake temple on Wednesday.

Clayson, president of the Utah county farm bureau, was among the personnel named for the Utah county fair board which was made up Monday by the county commissioners. Alton K. Storrs and James Harrington, who left together 30 months ago for the Hawaiian mission, returned home during the past week. They arrived in California March 1, on the ship "City of Honolulu." Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Marsh and little daughter May Rene expect to leave Friday for Kansas Kan-sas City where - they will meet their son Thirl who has been laboring in the southern states as a missionary. WASHINGTON WATCH- MAKE IT A DOZEN Coach Don Overly will take ten players to the high school state tournament this week. The state high school athletic association will not allow him to take more than that number. This means that several boys who have played on the squad all season in reserve roles will have to stay home or watch the games from the stands. This does not leave the coach in a very happy position. '- i J . x... . i Basketball is a game of skili and is very exhausting physically a coach would be foolish to begin and attempt to carry out a year's schedule with only ten men on his first squad. He would be doing those ten an injustice because they would probably be "stale" long before tournament time and exhausted physically. Injuries and illness may also cut down a small squad before the playing season is spent.

Senator Thomas writes: The Filihuster Controversy We all knew that a clean-cut program like that of President Truman's could be stopped by a filibuster and we knew that this was one of the inevitables of this Congress. The Democratic leaders lead-ers did not remove the Dixecrats from leadership when Congress was reorganized because they, no douht. remembered that when the Republicans attempted to punish Progressives it resuitea m a Republican defeat because the Progressives lined up with the Democrats. Our two-party system sys-tem creates this inevitable because be-cause the difference between the two parties is so very narrow. The Republican Party has been, in theory since the time oi Lincoln, Lin-coln, in favor of what we are fighting for, but of course you cannot blame them if they liKe to see a Democratic Senate held up by a filibuster. Political Parties There are ninety-six Senators and four hundred and thirty-five Congressmen. I have never seen the time when any one of them had his wav for very long. The kinds of fights we fight are dif ferent from anything else that takes Dlace in the world. Our political parties are not profes sional, therefore there is no such thing as Party discipline as there is in Eneland. As a matter of fact, there is in reality no Demo cratic party and no Republican party. There are instead forty-eight forty-eight , Democratic Parties that unite every four years under a candidate for the Presidency. There are about thirty-six or thirty-seven Republican Parties that do the same thing. The filibuster fili-buster is being carried on by representatives rep-resentatives of eleven states.
