There are ways around this problem and, in fact, the plan succeeded elsewhere before data processing equipment was ever invented. Granite District already has such equipment and if smaller districts want to hire out the work, several different local firms will break down their doors to get the contract.

So many of our Mount Olympus bors neighIn the have called to offer help campaign to secure tennis courts at the new Junior high school that think a word of thanks and a progress report are In 1 order. The Granite School Board, recipients of one of our petitions, decided on September 1 to take thp matter under advisement -- - in plain language,' to postpone a decision, until after the building at this location is completed andor until an overall plan has been developed for the utilization of this site. The former option would clearly be a double fault"; the latter, a conceivable stroke In return of our serve. But the picture here is . bleak. But Commissioner Marv Jenson may have an ace up his sleeve (thats tennis, not poker, remember!) The New York Times of Holladay, the ROCKY MOUNT AIN REVIEW, reported on August 20 that Jenson and his colleagues on the County Recreation Board had negotiated the purchase of 27 acres on the northwest comer of 45th South and Wasatch Boulevard from the Granite School Board. Ing to the sale, the board strongly urged that our petition for courts be considered in the development ofAhls proposed park. So It begins to appear that, we do well to lay a can of old Pennsyl vanias and an unstrung T. A. Davis on the line for Marv and his doubles partner, Paul Pose, at the County Recreation Department.

He (Senator Thurmond) Is laying his political life and his friendships .on the altar of freedom and that system and letting the consequences be what they may, he said. Senator Dirksen, the Republican minority leader, saluted Senator Thurmonds resolute courage that caused him to forsake the political label that he has borne with distinction for a lifetime. I note with some interest that this historic Incident and I think It must be regarded as something of an historic Incident. . . occurs on the 187th anniversary of the formulation of the Constitution of the United States, he said. He said Senator Thurmond Is attuned with the Republican faith. Another publican Senator, Simpson of Wyoming, predicted that Senator Thurmond will feel the slings and arrows of an outrageous press. He will feel the sting of., the most vituperation imaginable coming from a Democrat who is past master at authoring the loquacious garbage of which political smear Is forged. ed Our cause, he added, has suffered In his absence. It Is enhanced by his presence. Perhaps the Democrats will feel that their party Is also enhanced by Senator Thurmonds absence, especially when he kissed them off with his swan song; The Democratic Party has forsaken the people to become the party of miunion leanority gToups, power-hungr- y ders, political bosses, and big businessmen looking for government contracts and favors. Senator Thurmond will pay a price for his Democratic sell-ou- t. Any seniority he held on the Armed Services and Commerce committees will disappear. He Is now the lowest - In terms of seniority, of course - senator on the Republican side. His current term will expire In 1967. The United States Printing Office will have to change his biography In the upcoming edition of the Congressional His stationary will have to Directory. be altered. Whatever Democratic political organ- i lzatlon he held In South Carolina will have to cross party lines In his path or he must build a new one. All the welcoming platitudes the Re- either publican exhibited for Senator Thurmond will subside after the November 3 general election and his new Senate seat may become a lonely one. WHATS THAT? The Congressional Directory Is a rather Informative publication, If one can find what one Is looking for. One section lists the senators and representatives, their home addresses and Washington address. Several typographical signs are used for other Informative notes. The aster-ls- k () before a name means the senator Is married. A cross before a name designates unmarried daughters, according to the directory. But the most Interesting designation Is two vertical lines before a name. The directory explains that this means those having other ladles with them. |
