Show Editorial Page Feature McGovern's Welfare Plan 'More Generous' Dedicated to the Progress And Growth of Central Utah Page Friday, September 1, HERALD, Frovo, Utah 12-- THE 1972 (UPI)-S- en. NEW YORK George S. McGovern has staked out sharp differences with President Nixon on taxation but on the volatile issue of welfare, the Democrat's new proposal appears to be just a more generous version of Nixon's Family Assistance Plan. Onion Days Festival All Roads Lead to Payson Payson's Golden Onion Days last of the and Homecoming summer's parade of big community celebrations in Central is in full swing and will Utah reach its zenith with major events Saturday and Monday. Traditionally timed to coincide with the Labor Day weekend, the Payson festival is one of the summer's with biggest, for everyone something calendared during the nearly week long activity. The Central Utah celebration parade has included a colorful lineup of fetes this summer, all of them traditional each year. Included has been Pleasant Grove's Strawberry Days, Springville's Art City Days, Spanish Fork's Utah Junior Livestock Show and its Fiesta Days, Lehi's Roundup, Orem's Summer Festival, Provo's Fourth of July Freedom Festival, American Fork's Steel Days, Nephi's Ute Stampede, the Juab County Fair at Nephi which ends today, and the gigantic Wasatch County Fair at Heber. These plus a number of other lively celebrations of smaller dimension in the area.. .and the Midway Swiss Days just beginning, and the Lindon Community Fair still coming up. The Golden Onion Days and Homecoming is a festival which extends back at least 44 years. The name for the celebration was taken from the unusual and fairly major crop in the Payson region at that time. As the years passed, onion production waned in the area and the name was changed to Harvest Days and Homecoming. More recently the original name was restored because of the particular flare it seemed to and the have publicity-wis- e association with the name that had been long established. e with a Postal Service is the catalogue, (on Sept. 27) an eight-cen- t issuing stamp honoring the industry which has helped more mailmen wear out more shoe leather than any other.

It should have been more widely noted that President Nixon is a cooperative participant in remaking Vice President Agnew's image. Ac the Miami convention Nixon talked on national television about "Ted" Agnew, the name Agnew used in winning the suburban vote which made him governor of Maryland. Spiro came into political fashion in the Nixon administration when it seemed more expedient to emphasize Agnew's Greek jrigin in the national ethnic communities. If Spiro is to become Ted again, at least in presidential circles, he may reemerge as he once was, a moderate Republican and supporter of Nelson A. Rockefeller with a footing in the sprawling suburban areas from which he rose to become. a national household name. Ted Agnew is not wholly different from Spiro T, They both say what is on a great many minds. Ted Agnew bawled out moderate Negro leaders in Maryland for letting black militants take over and cause riots. Spiro T. contrasted the ineffectually complaining American black leadership with the dedication and purpose of African leaders he visited in 1971 . On the whole, however, Ted Agnew has a more progessive image than Spiro T. Ted is the clean-cu- t executive type who rolls up his sleeves to bring order out of chaos and make everybody happy and satisfied. Tnat was the image projected when he ran for governor. In one television commercial he was cast in this image withouthis ever saying one word.

In the early history of smallpox, the first vaccinations were made using germs from cowpox. The cowpox virus was similar enough to the human smallpox virus that if a person had been infected with it, he wouldn't develop smallpox. It was a lot better to have a minor illness with cowpox than it was to have the deadly disease of smallpox. In fact one of the things that lead to the discovery of the smallpox vaccine was the observation that "milkmaids" seldom had small- Press International 1, the 121 to at tnameseor presently nity.

By vowing to eliminate $22 billion worth of presently legal tax advantages, McGovern contrasts with the Nixon administration which contends that such tax reform is unneeded and would not provide much increased revenue in any case. But his welfare proposal that would provide $4,000 to a family of four with no other income and no member able to work is only slightly different from Nixon's plan to build a $2,400 floor under the income of every family of four. By NORMAN KEMPSTER people wouldn't need smallpox vaccinations any more in many civilized countries and since rarely someone would have a severe reaction to them it would be well to discontinue it entirely. The theme was that finally the world had been rid of smallpox. This is dangerous thinking since viruses and germs can live forever in remote isolated area. Then, suddenly, one day they find a favorable environment and everyone knows that they've been there all along. That's exactly what happened with smallpox. In the wake of the Pakistan-Banglades- h war, smallpox broke out. Also smallpox has shown up in Yugoslavia. In today's world with modern transportation a small outbreak of disease can be spread worldwide in a short length of time. Although many doctors wouldn't agree with me, I recommend that be smallpox vaccinations continued in the United States. Dear Dr. Lamb You had a column cn popcorn and said it was good for people.
