' Present Recalls Speech By Patrick Henry Newspaper editors have' always been jealous of government restrictions re-strictions on publications, and they were incensed in 1765 when the British Parliment passed the Stamp Act for the purpose of levying income from newspapers. The tax may have been justified from the British standpoint, but it angered a very articulate group of Americans the editors and made them dangerous to the peace of the British empire. On May 29, 1765, Patrick Henry rose before the Virginia House of Burgesses and submitted a resolution reso-lution to the effect that only the Virginia assembly had the right to levy such a tax within the Utah World War Dead To Be Added to Memorial , In memorv of the heroic serv ices performed in World War II by Utah's sons and aaugnters in service of their country, a per manent memorial will be added this year to Memory Park located in Salt Lake City, where the dead have been honored. Mr. Collins urges that the next of kin of any Utahn killed in action and whose remains ; were not recovered, to forward to Mrs. J. Rov Wilson, at 639 Ramona Avenue, or the committee, com plete information concerning the death of their loved ones. The memorial chapel committee chairman said that marble markers mark-ers will be erected adjacent to the chapel for each Utahn so lost in World War II. A token of $5.00 will be requested with each application received. He emphasized, . however, that since the markers must be fash ioned in time to permit their in stallation and dedication in July it will be necessary for next of kin to. contact Mrs. Wilson or the committee by mail as early as possible. Names of war-lost Utahns whose remains were not recovered must be mailed to Mrs Wilson or the committee to ar rive, on or before June 1, 1948. The next of kin of such war victims must include in their letter the rank of the lost Utahn his full name, his date of birth and the date and area of his death.

Main 'Telephone 124 AMERICAN FORK Main Street House Razing Recalls City History in the minds of many of the older residents of American Fork pages of history were turned back when the little duck nouse vu Main street, east of the Tri-state Lumber Co. offices, was razed. Mrs. Thomas Crooks, owner of the property, which less than 2 years ago was sold to Orville Gunther, traced the history of the little home in whicn sne was born and reared. When a lad of 12 George Crookston had come from Scot land in 1855, with his parents, George and Jeanette Hutchison Crookston, and the family first lived in a dug-out on what was later Jcnown as the Jesse CrooKs-ton CrooKs-ton DroDertv. There were six boys in the family and one girl, Jim, Tom, George, Jesse, Robert, John and Jeanette. Georee married Agnes Crooks in 1863 and at thai time sought to buy some land upon which to build his own little log house. That year he bought the land from Stephen Chipman, one oi the original settlers of this city, and he often said it was then erreerf with alfalfa, the first grown here and "the prettiest he ever saw in American Fork". That same year he built a log house west of where the brick home was later built some 70 years ago. The good Scotch couple became the parents of ten children, the first seven of them born in the log home and the last three in the "new brick house". Five of the children died in infancy, two within one week, vistims of scar let fever. George Crookston s life was patterned very much after those of other pioneer settlers. He was a fanner but found time to give to the little growing community his faithful years of service, 21 years to be exact, as a marshal, deputy marshal and constable. The record says "he rang the cur few for a great number of years and was always prompt and regu lar in discharge of duty." He died in 1926, some 12 years after the death of his wife. Mrs. Crooks recalls how the Crookston children and the chil dren of Stephen L. and Sina Nelson Chipman grew up to gether. The Chipman home; one of the finest in the community at that time, was built on the property prop-erty President Chipman had pur chased from David Adamson, James P. Kelly, known to the townspeople as "Shoemaker" Kel ly operated a shoe shop on the property prior to that time. The Chipman home was torn down over a year ago and on this site will be built the new Dixon-Tay lor-Eussell Co. store. So, after seven decades, the lit tie brick house which knew the joys and sorrows of a sturdy Scotch couple and their family of ten is gone, making way for tne Building of a modern busi ness concern which is to be erected in the not too distant future. A few comments cited by Mr. Boswell are indicative of the backing given the American Dairy Association June Drive to provide ways and means for the nation wide "Say It With Sales" program. Farmers Like It A nrominent dairy farmer, G. m Hincklev. whose 100 acre farm is located one mile west of Provo says: "All my life I've made my livine milkine cows. I think this advertising program is just what we farmers need to protect our income and build an ever ex-nnndiner ex-nnndiner market for milk, butter. cheese, ice cream and other dairy foods." Orval Stone, who operates a 24 cow dairy in the town of Lehi, satrf: "Millions of dollars are spent promoting beverages, fruits, tobaccos and soaps, ine utue Dit my neighbor and I put into ad vertising our own good dairy products pro-ducts is money that pays dividends." Operators Key Men One of the most DODular dairy plant operators in Utah County, Carl Elliott, who is in charge of Arden Dairy located In Provo said: "Sure I'm glad to make the advertisine set-aside from my patrons milk checks in June. Tell the farmers that if they aren't interested in promoting their own business they can't ex pect anyone else to do it ior them. It makes a few extra hours bookwork for me. but it's tre- mendouslyworthwhile." Fieldman. Leo Bowen or the Arden Dairy at American Fork says: "We post reprints of the farmer's color ads at the plant. Those express truck ads are real- lv doine a 1ob of selling dairy products. The ads. and posters show the product so natural in abearance and color that they make the buying public hungry for milk, butter, cheese, ice cream and other dairy foods. Dairymen Open Full Scale Advertising Drive Provo, Utah. County Agent, S. R. Boswell nf TTrnh Pnimn oorts enthusiastic the farmers, plant operators, milk namers, neiamen and civic icauers oi mis locality for the June Fund Drive of the American Dairy Association conducted by the Utah Dairy Federation. "The spirit of cooperation has never been better," he declared "Everybody is intersted in boosting boost-ing dairy products. They are the life blood of this district. Businessmen, Busi-nessmen, too, are loud in their praise of the farmer for financing financ-ing and directing his own advertising adver-tising program to encourage consumption con-sumption of dairy foods." Poisoned by Fire Smoking in bed is an increasing cause of fire fatalities. National Board of Fire Underwriters warns. Usually the smoker dies not from burns but from poisoning by the toxic gases, chiefly carbon monoxide monox-ide and hydrogen cyanide, produced by every fire.
