Verdell Johnson 1180 East 6200 South Carpenter ft Mrs. R. D. Ruud East 2875 South Housewife I believe in any steps to correct bad living conditions in our country. Certainly theres a lot of needy groups that could use help. 2194 Its a real good idea. We should spend more in our own than were country spending overseas. Grover Bergstron 920 N. Thornfield Id much rather see it spent on slums than on foreign aid. I think it will work eventually and prove out to everyones satisfaction. d)v I, X, r y Pierre, asked a thrifty friend, "where can I purchase just the tops of a pair of pajamas? We didnt know our Instinct for economy has never extended quite that far but we have other friends who do know such things and we asked. As it turned out, we had misinterpreted the question. What we though was a stingy plan to beat pajama manufacturers out of the chance to sell the whole set actually our friends way of letting us know hes with it. f Many select set Salt Lakers have one or two favorite items they cant buy here, or at least, so they believe. The result, our research has revealed, is the San Frana surecisco shopping list fire conversation starter. When other topics fall, talk about where to buy things sometimes take an unusual twist and can be amusing. For instance; One chap who likes to sleep cool and is something of a gourmet has two items on his list. They are artichoke bottoms and pajama tops. And they can be found only at one particular department store on the West Coast. Recently, he asked a San relative Francisco-boun- d one of each. p Instructions got garbled. Quite a bit of time ensued trying to locat'e an artichoke top. STATUS Just to have Terrace Club puts been-insi- way 'V J D. R. Conradsen 3626 South 2445 East Personnel clerk, Kennecott' it will help. We should take a look at our situation here at home and spend money here for a change. Its not much of a problem in the W est as back East. I think Asst. Mgr, Small Loans Co. His war of poverty is tremendous and something the country has needed for a great number of years. We can afford miUlons of dollars on foreign aid; Id like to see some of it spent here. In the area where I work in Arizona, the people are bad off financially. The good number are willing and able to work, but cant find Jobs. Unemployment will be the biggest problem for the program. i SYMBOL: The you way, in. reason is that its so and the other is that its brand new. What is it and where?

Thats step one in the course of civic action. We hear it often. Often, too, a committee becomes a substitute for real activity. A sly humorist in the U. S. House of Representatives once pinpointed the problem when he introduced a rider to a Department of Agriculture budget measure." He proposed that at no time shall the number of employees in the Department of Agriculture exceed the number of farmers in the Un."?d States. Balance and perspective are vital. . As the profligratian of committees and boards as a springboard for civic responsibility, goes on at a rapid rate, lets keep the goals clearly in view. Life About those barbers we mentioned last week. We got a nasty shock the morning after -- .last week-en- d when we found our favorites door locked. Not home poifting, we hoped. Then we remembered, It was Monday. What happens to barbers on Monday?

The Whimsical ARTICHOKES Does Civic Action Lag .. As Committees Multiply? Committees meet, define areas of responsibility and organize sub - committees. The groups mailing list grows as its secretary struggles to keep all units informed of whats being accomplished. This procedure often seems the only possible course to accomplish some community goal. And it is not to be lightly discounted for the moral health of the community derives in large part from it. If nothing else, the civic interest it signifies is a boon. cents and quarter? , ay Support For Symphony Benefits Whole State Step two is to form a committee and then a board of directors is selected. The board of directors elects officers, forms an executive committee and appoints other committees. The furor over Adlai Stevenson and the United Nations suddenly clicks into focus. In 1900, William Jennings Bryan ran for president a fellow named William McKinley. Do you know who Bryans running mate was? Adlai E. Stevenson. McKinley was a Republican, and he won but, you know, the real politician never forgets. You dont suppose ... ? McKinley supporters? The elections over ... besides, youve got the wrong guy! Norraa Strike. Hes president of Ajax Presses and this years United Fund head. Theyve bought the Morgan Sorenson home at 5600 Holl-adBoulevard. ed, If your taste in music encompasses Bach, Bizet and Bartok you are probably well aware of the accomplishments of the Utah Symphony. If, on the other hand, the limit of your musical appreciation is to hum along with Mitch, you should know from a purely economic point of view the value of the Utah Symphony Orchestra to our state. If anyone suspect that the reputation of the symphony is a public relations gimmick, he should take, another look at this business which does not accept success readily. That reputation has taken years for Maurice 1 Abravanel and the people around him to build. Its contribution to our tourist industry would be impossible to measure accurately, but there are thousands of people to whom this kind of achievement is meaningful. Grant Johannesen plays this Saturday in a benefit concert for the Syjtiphony. There are many reasons to support this kind of effort, not the least of wjiich is Johannesens being a home town boy with a remarkable talent and following. Support of the Symphony should not stop there, a continuing backing of it, generously, means solid rewards for our state. PARKING; Speaking of suicidal, theres a certain Mayor around here whoneeds some p.r. counseling. Its like this; Most press people drive little cars and they despise walking. When that Mayor has a buddy whose big, long Cadillac takesthree parking places in the press parking section at the county-cit- y building, newsmen seethe. Democrat may not admit it but Saturday is an important day for Utah -- Republicans j and county meet to narrow the field for state offices. The struggle of liberals versus conservatives that divides Republicans national will find a battleground in Salt Lake Saturday. It would be a shame if the more irrelevant issues of that struggle were to stifle the real critical problems facing our state. There .are Republicans whp have an almost parano4? fear of changey?offunately, they have not. been able to dominate the party here as they have in other states .notably California. ' Perhaps our area more accurately reflects the spirit of Abraham Lincoln when he said, I shall trjto correct errors where, shown to be errors and I shall adopt new views as they shall appear to be true views. Republicans of Salt Lake County dont expect delegates to settle the Goldwater-Rooseve- lt thing Saturday. We believe that what they really desire inis a reasonable slate of telligent candidates who can cope with the problems at the north end of State Street, and the south end of tile City County Buildingr AT THE MAGAZINE RACK: Everybody says people would rather look at pictures than read.
