The dream is not difficult to, conjure up. Everyone has approximately the same vision of what the lake might be and ought to, be: a place to swim and bathe and sun-Lathe; a place to fish; a place to picnic and to go boating; a place to admire and to be proud of. Once Utah Lake was all of those things, and more. On its waters plied a substantial fishing industry and in addition it was a mecca for sportsmen who liked to tackle bass and lake trout. Once bathing and dancing resorts dotted its shores, and it was a social center for the valley. Once the lake was the scene of one of the finest water pageants ever seen in the intermountain area. Once the lake promised to become the recreation center of Scenic Utah and to join with our canyons, hunting, skiiing and fishing to make Utah Valley more attractive at-tractive than Sun Valley. That was before Utah Lake was ever referred to as a "dead sea." ; . .. ' Utah Lake is not dead. But it is gravely ill. The illness began and the attractiveness of the lake diminished as Provo and the other cities adjacent to it began pouring their sewage into its waters. The lake gradually became dangerous to swim in, the trout and the bass perished because of the pollution, the resorts could not survive the tainted water, boating became be-came less popular, and fewer people drove "down to the lake" just for the ride and for the view. , , Writer Asks "Spontaneous," Not "Measured" Giving On Friday the leaders of Utah County faced the problem of rehabilitating the lake. They were united in their desire to, restore Utah's largest freshwater body to its rightful place in the valley's pattern. A definite program was launched, which may see the lake something more than a repository for sewage. The program may see Utah Lake become be-come the valley's number one recreational asset.

WILLIS It is surely not possible for even the most unconcerned and self-centered of us, Americans, to look upon any other part of the World but our own Western Hemisphere without feeling at least a tinge of remorse, that we here are so completely free of the many tragic and overpowering overpow-ering miseries that the rest of God's creatures are tortured with- How death still stalKs at the thresholds of their homes -homes which house an unbearable unbear-able quota of destitution for almost every living soul of them.

Heard often and by no mean softly. So that, as with all kindly people, peo-ple, though we are not of a mind to speak at all of what we are doing do-ing in this time of great trouble, there has come to devolve upon us all, the need of countering Ihe mercenary atmosphere that has preceded our awakening, and which atmosphere possesses us much too strongly yet, for our peace of mind, .or our self-respect. And though being of the spirit of the Good Samaritan, who questioned not the deserts of the prostrate victim whose plight had called forth his com-j passion, and our act forbidding aggression ip a breast thus moved, mov-ed, yet must we firmly stand against the ' measurer' type and move stoutly for the 'caring' type of American spirit, if we are to tune the voice of America in on the currents of compassion and concern, and away from those of coldly-practical self-interest. In tune, too, with the message inscribed at the foot of our own Goddess of Liberty, statue, which bids the "Ancient Lands": Give me your lired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." must our national voice speak to salve an older world's "expendables", we having learned the freeman's lesson that none are expendable.

Scores of mechanized servants, such as small lift trucks which can heft from 1 to 15 tons, individual cranes, hoists, power chucks and conveyors that whisk weighty industrial indus-trial materials through the factory, are reducing worker fatigue to an all-time low, Lawrence reports. Furthermore, he adds, total horsepower horse-power available in the nation's factories fac-tories has climbed from about 50,-452,000 50,-452,000 in 1939 to a present high of 68,000,000. "As a consequence, the handling of materials now accounts for only about 18 per cent of industry's production pro-duction costs, as compared with 22 per cent a decade ago, and the per cent still is falling," Lawrence says, adding that the average SKF worker, work-er, for example, is now able to handle han-dle 50 per cent more materials by weight than he could five years ago without flexing a muscle. - SOCIAL SECURITY YOUR (Part of a series of article et Federal OASI) Part XI If you want to know-more. know-more.
