Calif ornia-Scipio, Utah,- radio relay route, according to D. L. Clark Equipment Maintenance Supervisor, Supervis-or, American Telephone and Telegraph Tele-graph Company. This 630 mile section sec-tion of the Oakland New York route includes 24 stations all of wh'ch are new. This route was constructed con-structed by the Long Lines Department Depart-ment of American Telephone and Telegraph Company. When it is put into service, this new system will carry 6,000 telephone calls, or a combination of calls, television programs pro-grams and data messages simultaneously. simul-taneously. . v ' As a part of this route, a 112 foot . tower has been constructed 4.4 miles SSE of Delta to support four horn reflector antennas. Two of these antennas, weighing one ton each, are beamed toward Scipio and the other two are turned in the direction of Sevier Lake. These antennas receive and send the microwave mi-crowave signals, while the equipment equip-ment building alongside amplifies them. When a message is sent across country 'by radio relay, super-high frequency waves called microwaves By INEZ RIDING Have you ever seen a confirmed "Liberal"? Well, take a look. I'm one and darn glad. Nothing has changed my think so much as reading read-ing books and. articles and listening listen-ing to newscasts (radio and television). tele-vision). I'm tired of a lot of things. Want to know what they are? I'm tired of hearing "traitor to our American heritage" tagged to persons who believe as I do we HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE AROUND US. I'm tired of hearing thai the Democrats De-mocrats have sold the country down the river for a mess of pottage pot-tage when at this same pottage "pot", we Democrats have to push and shove our critics asidel I'm tired of hearing and seeing every remark made by the late Pres. Kennedy and now President Johnson questioned. QUESTION. Does it ever occur to these same se'f-styled critics that the late president and Pres. Johnson John-son were and are not playing politics? poli-tics? Does it ever occur to these critics that on a g'ven issue (for insiance. Civil Rights) both have expressed HONEST convictions? Il'm tired of hearing that it is the critics of the Democratic party On-LY On-LY who are concerned with the welfare of our country. I'm tired of hearing that ONLY our cri.ics are concerned with government gov-ernment subsidies. QUESTIONS Does it ever occur to our critics that what may be a subsidy to .hem 'is a necessity to the one receiving re-ceiving it? Does it ever occur to them that what may be termed a subsidy by Democrats may be considered a necessity to them? Does it ever occur to them that here are many, many prime examples exam-ples of subsidies and necessities? Such as? Such as G. L Loans and school-ng, school-ng, farm checks, etc. I believe that I know what we Democrats really believe and that is this: OUR WELL-BEING DEPENDS DE-PENDS UPON THE WELL-BEING OF THOSE AROUND US. SOME6NE BY THE NAME OF BOB JUST PULLED ME OFF MY STUMP. I WAS JUST GETTING WARMED UP TO MY SUBJECT. LIKE THE CIRCUIT PREACHER OF OLD. IT TAKES A FEW PRELIMINARY PRELIMIN-ARY REMARKS BEFORE I REALLY OPEN UP. Mr. and Mrs. ' George Q. Terry, former area residents, were visiting Clark and Reva Bliss last week from Los Angeles. It was my good fortune to meet Mr. and Mrs. Terry for the first time. They came calling call-ing and what an enjoyable time we d d have. Naturally, we discussed the Utah school situation. Mr. Terry Ter-ry told me that California teachers DO receive a higher salary than Utah teachers. But (and this is important) im-portant) he went on to say that farmers, bankers, realtors, etc did, THE PEOPLE OF DELTA AND THE GREAT PAHVANT Thursday, June 11, 1964 are beamed through the air from station to station. Like light waves, microwaves travel in a straight line and do not bend to conform to the curvature of the earth. Therefore, There-fore, a clear line-of -sight must exist between stations. These stations, located approximately 30 miles a-part, a-part, are placed in a zig-zag path. This is to prevent a jumbled signal sig-nal which might result if the beam overshot its mark and was received at a station farther along the route. Radio relay is not affected by such stat c as lightning or man-made man-made interference, since these disturbances dis-turbances do not exist in the microwave mi-crowave frequency range. Nor do microwaves interfere with other radio or television programs being transmitted in their vicinity over other frequency ranges. Less than one watt of power or about e-nough e-nough to light a small flashlight is enough to send a microwave signal sig-nal from station to station on this economical network. Although there are many intricate operations to be performed in sending this signal, a message can be sent a-cross a-cross the country in an infinitesimal infinitesi-mal amount of time via radio relay. 7 J Set own wtfttM also. Further, living expenses were higher in California than in Utah. As I safd it was quite a visit. De'ores and Golden War nick were in town for the high school graduation and Decoration Day. We all met at Wilford Munster's following the graduation exercises for a lot of talk. This was the first time in a long, long time that Golden Gol-den and I haven't had a wrangle about the farm program. It was good to have a new topic. In fact, it was good to see the Warnicks.

Mr. Dean, who was speaker of the House of Representatives during dur-ing the 1961-62 session of the State Legislature stressed the importance of economic growth of the rural areas of Utah in his talk.
