Colonel Pray also wrote, "As his parents, you may feel justifiable just-ifiable pride in your son's ac- complishments in his military training. His excellent spirit of cooperation, combined with an obvious desire to excel are the principal personal characteristics characteris-tics which produced the outstanding out-standing results obtained.

TeHs Union Chiefs to Lay Off," was a banner headline on the editorial page, of a Salt Lake daily paper one : day last week. The piece by Victor Riesel,-union-bhnded writer of a syn- UUallCU VUlUilUtf TT tUb via w say: "President Kennedy has bitterly and angrily told several sev-eral labor chiefs to prevail on some of their colleagues to stop putting him on the spot with a perpetual series of nation-wide crises." Mr. Kennedy continued to say according to Mr. Riesel, that the time has come for union officials to cease using the chief executive as though he were a pawn. In the game of chess, a "pawn" is a man a player often sacrifices in order or-der to get out of a tight situation. situ-ation. Oh well, to the man on the street, it appears that Mr. Kennedy Ken-nedy has forgotten the age-old adage, "That if you dance you must pay the fiddler." - Seems odd that Mr. Kennedy did not ten the union leaders to "lay off" during the early autumn of 1960, when the unions un-ions were making huge cash contributions to the national Democratic .campaign fund.

Also, the fair committee does -not assume any responsibility -for damage to the paintings or loss by fire or theft. Likewise, neither he nor his supporters told - union - members mem-bers to "lay off," when they voted for him in the November 1960 general election. Political analyists have said repeatedly that Mr. Kennedy would never have beaten Richard Rich-ard Nixon without the heavy labor support of the Democratic Democrat-ic ticket. Though they haven't expressed express-ed it audibly, no doubt labor leaders feel that turn about is only fair play. Also, that the President should come to their aid during times of controversy. contro-versy. ' - Whether for Justice of the Peace or President of the United Unit-ed States, candidates for public office should be chary of campaign cam-paign promises either by infer-, ence or spoken word. Invariab-' ly someone is going to ask that the promises be fulfilled. The long, drawnout and expensive ex-pensive presidential campaigns leave candidates wide open to the dangers of accepting financial fin-ancial favors. Mr. Kennedy is finding out what many a gentlemen gentle-men farmer has learned, to-wit: "That chickens that have been observed raising Cain in a neighbor's garden, always come home to roost." So long 'til Thursday. ..... ! - i . - i it ADMIRE PARK Mrs. William J. Bullough, Lucile Hillman, Dr. Arvil L. Stark, Mrs. Thomas Simper, Mrs. Roy L.
