LETTER TO THE EDITOR Orem-Geneva Times: Orem, Utah Dear Sirs; In all fairness to the chair, man and the girl's who entered enter-ed the Miss Orem contest recently re-cently I would appreciate this letter being published. It Is intended in-tended only to help those entering en-tering and the committee next year. The people concerned should realize Mr. Chugg was left in the lurch only a few day's before be-fore and did a marvelous job clnsidering. I have been a judge in several sev-eral large contests, but never have I seen the judges been given the girl's names before so why the numbers and what was their purpose? Also, never have I seen judges chosen from so close around. I do not say that all are any of the comments I heard we're true, but there is a possibility that the judges may have known friends and relatives of these girls, and even without realizing it might have been influenced. Thank you for this consideration. considera-tion. Sincerely, a subscriber. RICK HOMES MUST BE MOVED!'

We have this officially from the Surface Transportation Subcommittee of the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee This group's findings, based on 11 weeks of hearings and the testimony of 103 witnesses, are embodied in part in the "Trans portation Act of 1958" (S.3773 H, R. 12448) introduced by Sen ior George A. Smathers of Florida. There is no doubt of the crit ical plieht of what was until re cent years our No. 1 industry. Deep cis are being sustained in railroad traffic, earnings, workirs cnpital and employ ""ent. Railroads are now at the 'loint where they do not have the money to meet next month's navroll and operating bills. Moreover, the railroad slide is having impact far beyond track and terminal. The million-man million-man railway supply industry reports re-ports new orders so far this year have been cut in half, with the result its own employment i down nearly one-third. Indeed, the railroad problem appears to lie at the very heart of the business recession, and improvement improve-ment in this area could mean imDrovement in the entire economy. ec-onomy. It is clear enough that if our railroads are to remain a bulwark bul-wark of free enterprise, they must have relief from over-regulation over-regulation and over taxation and from government-supported competition. More leeway in rate-making would in particular give railroads a chance to assert as-sert their proven advantages of low unit cost for volume trans' portation, and would result in benefits not only for the railroads rail-roads but also for the public. The Smathers bill, said to be "the most important transporta tion in 18 years," provides a good start toward correction of many of the Inequities existing in government's treatment of the various carriers. In addition the subcommittee urges that Congress repeal the indefensible federal transporation excise taxes of 3 percent on freight bill and 10 percent on passen ger tickets, and liberalize de preciation allowances to spur carrier lnvestmest in improved facilities and services, illspub The time has come to repay a debt of honor to the country's most dramatic industry one which for more than a century has supported our freedoms and knit together the world's great est nations. It Is our privilege now to call upon Washington to give these essential carriers a better chance to serve us all better. mfffiu MfT W ..ii - ivy WAYS SAFE Cu$mSchzj TIRE SAFE with blow-out resistant nylon heat and moisture resistance. re-sistance.

Twin houses built by Cannon-Papanikolas Construction Co. near Sandy, Utah prove it costs no more to enjoy the benefits of a horn with copper water lines. Roy Gandre Plumbing Co. installed galvanized galvan-ized lines in one home and rustproof, corrosion resistant copper in the other. Then costs were figured. Total cost for materials and labor for galvanized lines $115.45. Total cost for materials mate-rials and labor for copper lines $115.58. The difference was an insignificant 13 cents, so both homes will sell for exactly the same price. But look at the advantages ad-vantages of copper. "7T -A si Copper water lines will never clog from rust, because be-cause copper can't rust and is corrosion resistant And there will be much less trouble from hard water mineral deposits inside the pipe cutting down the flow of water, as so often happens with steel and iron. Leakproof, soldered connections and cleaner interior result in a greater flow of water through copper lines. Long lasting copper has always been known a3 the best metal for lines. Now it has been proved it costs no more. That's why Cannon-Papanikolas Cannon-Papanikolas plans to use copper in all future homes. You can benefit from this dramatic test when you build a home. For greater value at no extra cost, insist on water lines made by Chase Brass and Copper Company, a Kennecott subsidiary.
