We are intensely aware of the incredible variety of problems which face a police officer during an average tour of duty. Cops are over -- worked and under and theyre often unfairly hampered in their efforts to protect life and paid property. We do not believe that police officers should suffer the additional handicap of a distrusting citizenry. The confidence and respect of the public should be the rightful duty of all officers. When "misunderstandings pile up one atop the other, we believe the Salt Lake City Commission has an obligation to conclusively assure everyone that or offer positive proof that the remedial measures have been undertaken not valid. are complaints It is not fair to officers to allow doubt to exist. Considering that the department handles some 60,000 criminal cases a year in addition to more than 150,000 traffic contacts, the number of complaints is probably not excessive. On the other hand, if one or two men are besmirching the escutcheon of Salt Lake Citys finest, then appropriate action is over-du- e. Perhaps the men have not been properly trained in how to conduct their busines with the public. Commissioner Louis Holley said he believes officers should be more courteous ... and we believe maybe he's right. If it's simply a Job for Emily Post, then well hear no more complaints of callous handling of citizens for a good, long time because the public safety commissioner has instructed the city police chief to emphasize courtesy on the part of officers. While this program is being undertaken, we hope Commissioner Holley assures himself that the string of incidents is indeed an unfortunate coincidence and not a symptom of poor morale ... or worse. rank-and-fi- le How Smart Are The Democrats Ad People Observe Recognition Week (Continued from Page 1 Week, February 7 - IS, is the professions way of telling the public about the men in the advertising business, the jobs they do, the contributions they make to our economy and the American way of life. REWARDING CAREER We believe advertising has much to offer In its variety of satisfying, rewarding careers for young people, said Rex McArthur, chairman of Advertising Recognition Week for the Salt Lake Aadvertising He calls on clients, makes future contacts and sells time for KUTV. In his spare time, his set gets only one channel. Advertising offers a very real challenge and an opportunity for people who can think imaginatively, who have the determination to make a real contribution and who are willing to work hard Thats why the advertising business attracts above -- average people, he said SOUTHEAST PEOPLE M any of tne people who create the ads you read or see or hear live in and around the southeast area of Salt Lake. Take Philip Barlow, for instance, of Philip Barlow Ad-- at 713lSouth Towncrest Drive He likes to garden and golf; however, most of the time he can be found at his drawing board working on layouts, brochures and all forms of advertising design How did he get into the advertising business? Im not sure, Phil said I wanted to be an architect but was always Interested in commercial art I worked for an agency for a while as an artist, then started my own studio because I enjoyed working with people and wanted to get into design WORD MERCHANT The Democratic party has seemed to us more frankly political than "that other bunch ... and this is probably the reason for its success. Democrats play to win, above all else. Last November, we saw the party barrel to victory with awesome efficiency indicating goid party organization and shrewd understanding of the wishes of the electorate. Now, within the next few days, we're going to learn just how smart tne county Democratic leadership really is. The county central rommittee will meet to compile a list of six men from which a new county commissioner will be chosen. If they take the short view and use the empty county commission seat for a political f, well be expecting a reversal of their fortunes next time at the polls. Since they control all three positions on the county's governing board, a good performance by that body is decidedly to their advantage and, for once, they can afford to ignore immediate political considerations. However, this time Democrats enjoy a unique opportunity to do well while doing good. Since they control all three positions on the county 's governing board, for once they can afford to ignore immediate political considerations and go for long-terbenefits. Theyll do this best by packing their list of possible appointees with individuals who have the training and ability to serve the public impressively. Wayne Black, Democratic central committee chairman, has said the group will consider any and all applications. We hope consideration wont be limited to individuals who actively solicit the post The county commission in recent years has diminished in prestige - perhaps the best men must be sought out pay-of- m -- and convinced to take the job. By chosing carefully, they can upgrade the post make the position again a springboard to higher political office. There are several good Democrats obviously worthy of the rent m terms of training, proven performance - not necessarily at the polls -- - and party loyalty. Several others touted for the job would be highly unfortunate choices'. Heres the opportunity to launch an outstanding man into the political mainstream.

As you can see from our quick cross section, the people of advertising are the people you meet every day. Maybe I'm prejudiced but they are an interesting, group The plus of advertising is its unusually bright and vital people from all walks of life, with multiple Interests and intense dedication. Good advertising makes the American consumer the best informed buyer in the world. And advertising not only provides information about products the news and entertainment and enlightenment Americans get from their newspapers, magazines, television and radio all depend on the money that advertisers spend Advertising is not only big business, its a good business . a fun busmess .. where the people you work with are interesting andstim ulating The next time you read an ad or hear or watch one, remember, someone you know may have written that ad someone just like you well-round- ed need for revision and modernization of the complex system of laws governing the public lands of the United States. Soon this exacting task will be underway The Public Land Law Review Commission, established by Congress in the late moments of its last session, is now preparing to begin its three-ye- ar Job. , As befits a state in which over 70 percent of the land is owned and administered by government agencies, Utah will be represented on the commission. Among appointees to the commission are Laurence Burton, Republican congressman from the state's enormous first district, and H. Byron Mock, Democratic attorney from Salt Lake City. There are litterally thousands cf laws covering the use of 167 million acres (25 million acres in Utah alone) of public land in the United States outside of Alaska. Many of these laws reflect conditions of the 19th and early 20th centuries, many are unclear and confusing, many run at cross purposes. As Congressman Burton said m an interview last week, the system is a legislative crazy quilt which has blown up like topsy. Burton said he hoped the primary policy result from the commissions work will be clear and consistent authorization for disposal of much of the land now controlled by the federal government into other areas to state and local governments or to private users. Giving examples applicable to Utah, Burton said one area where change is needed is the privilege of ranchers, under the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, to graze cattle on the public domain. He said in many cases he would favor selling the land to the ranch- ers He also suggested ways by which the acreage held by state and local governments could be increased by amending the township land sections of the states enabling act for example As of now, Congress has given the Interior Department no general authority to sell or exhange these lands to state and local governments, thus each transaction must go through the cumbersom process of legis- lation If there is one basic problem in this complicated situation, it is that Congress has not provided the Interior Department with consistent guid-linand clear authority to dispose of land where there are competing claims on its use And as demands upon the land grow with population, the need for this authority and these guidelines will become more pressing Though there has been some criticism that the structure of the commission is unwieldy in view of the complex nature of its task, it seems to me that this need not be the case The commission was set up to be nonppartisan and broadly representative of all groups, private and public, with interests in the legal reforms The commission itself is made up of 13 members: six from toe Senate, six from the House (equally divided by party), six appointed by toe President and a chairman selected by these members In addition provision was made for a 25 member advisory board representing toe diverse interested groups, extensive liai es son with state governments, and a permanent staff. Burton intends that this be a working commission that its members become actively engaged in solving problems and making policy instead of having the staff do most of the work and make most of the decisions. If each member shares this intention then responsibility rests in the right place, and the difficult job of legal reform will get the attention it deserves. Burton also said he favors a piecemeal' approach to the commission's legislative recommendations He points out that the life of toe commission is three years and contends that considering toe specialized nature of many of toe problems, it would be far more efficient to advance legislative recommendations as a problem is solved Instead of forwarding all toe proposals in one enormous package when toe commission has finished its work. The Utah Congressman declared that toe main difference which will appear over policy will be between those, like himself, who want to tree as much of toe land as poss-b- le for maximum development and the conservationists, who will press for retention of as much land as possible by federal government as a national land preserve. But he was quick to say that he did not want to give away, sell, or otherwise dispose of prime recreation toe sites, reclamation lands, power sites or valuable mineral lands. He concluded that the "right ground would be somewhere in between Several Utah bills have been introduced in the Senate during toe past two weeks by Republican Senator Wallace Bennett Most recent of these is a proposal for a survey of conand servation recreation needs in the three nation forests along toe Wasatch Front area Pointing out that estimated visitors during 1964 to the Wasatch National Forest alone exceeded visits to all of Utah s two national parks, eight national momuments and two national recreation areas. Bennett said the survey would develop recommendations for a balanced program of recreation and conservation, including roads, for 'he area t.ll was Another Bennett one seeking authorization for an expanded Little Dell Project near Salt Lake City, for flood control, water supply and recreational use toe estimated cost of the project, to be shared by federal and local governments, is $18 5 million Citing rapid population growth in toe area, toe Utah Senator said ' the possibility of a water shortage by 1970 is "very likely The proposal calls for a 50,000-foreservoir on Dell Creek, expanded from an earlier proposal for an 8,000 - foot reservoir for flood control purposes only The Utah Republican also submitt.J a bill to provide a preliminary survey of a proposed Sky line Drive Recreation Way along 175 miles of some of Utah's most beautiful and primitive country The road, extending south from Thistle, Utah, through the Macti-LaSa- ll andFishlake National Forests in Utah, would replace substandard roads and open toe country to recreational use ot I |
