Voltaire Bearing Our Share of the Cost With the Bond Election or the Kane School District held Monday of this week, voters in the seven districts of the county showed that they wanted to go ahead and complete the fine building program in our school system, that has been going on for the past tliree years. We were glad to see the issue go over the top. We listened The to both sides of the story on the bond issue. Apparently most of one-thir- d A Comparison For Our Area An interesting article in a recent Wall Street Journal brings some up pertinant facts that we feel could well apply to present conditions here in Kanab. Every now and then some American community finds itself in deep economic trouble a possibility that is greatest in areas which are lieavfly dependent on one industrial company or one farm crop for their wherewithal. Then, as the Wall Street Journal points out, varied courses of community action are open. A common one is to turn to the government for assistance, and have the town named a distressed area But this, even if successful, usually turns out to be only a palliative. And, the paper says, the palliative, by removing the sense of urgency, has too often deterred tire people themselves from building their community better." Another course of action is for the community to get down to work and solve its problems by its own efforts. An outstanding example of this is South Bend, Indiana. Jolin D. Williams, writing in the Wall Street Journal, tells what has been done there. f For a century, South Bend was pretty much a was the comtown, and Studebaker (now Studebaker-Fackard- ) If Studebaker didwas the well. If Stude-baktown pany. doing well, suffered hard times and cut the payroll, the town felt that in its vitals. Studebaker, together with some other motor companies, has been undergoing financial storms. According to Mr. Williams, it is having the toughest time of its century." South Bend naturally hopes the company will come back and prosper. But important as Studebaker is to South Bend, it is no longer the dominant factor. As an told Mr. Williams, Theres not that desperate feeling anymore." This change in attitude stems from the fact that South Bend is not now a town. Some three years ago a committee was established and a delegation was sent to Birmingham, Alabama, to study that citys extremely successful, booster group. Then $3So,000 was'sjaised to promote the South Bend area as a good place for new business. The going wasnt easy. In the first year, not even one new company was gained. A blow was suffered when the Singer Manufacturing Company moved elsewhere. The committee redoubled its efforts. sales talks were made to One likely prospects. factory came in. Then another. Mr. Williams writes, And so the parade grew, each little bit adding up to a lot- .All in all about 24 new companies have come to South Bend and the neighboring town of Mishawaka. Their products include doors, industrial displays, furniture, sun glasses, tools, plastic boats and so on. The committee is still hard at work, and ambitious plans are in being for new and modem industrial areas. ' one-compa- or one-compa- Person-to-perso- n Leap-Ye- ar Proposal despite Studebakers trouble and greatly reduced South Bend savings deposits, retail sales, residential employment. construction, and other standard barometers of economic conditions are holding up and in some easel showing gains. South Bend people, Mr. Williams reports, are convinced theyve weathered their worst economic storms; the town is shored up battened down and determined to stay prosperous." The moral is expressed in the last line of the Wall Street Journals editorial: It remains true, that whatever people build for themselves is the best built. As a result, the people who were against the issue talked to us on the matvotes cast that were not in ter as there were but twenty-fou- r favor of the bond, and it seems that we talked to almost that many one time or another. We offered both factions the columns of our paper to air the issue. , There is no question but that taxes are becoming harder and harder to bear by many, but we feel, and hope that even those who voted against the issue might feel likewise, that we should bear our part of the cost in giving us good school build of the cost of the fine ings. Surely our furnishing but much. The too buildings were badly buildings is not asking needed and getting state funds of some $649,162,00 is to be appreciated by everyone in Kane County. Some taxpayers will pay a .larger share of this cost; also, there is another group who are in some ways paying more than their share of the cost of new buildings in Kane County The school teachers. No raise was granted our teachers here this year. Part is due to the fact that all available monies are needed for the buildings, apparently. However, this should be remedied next year. You cant have good schools without good teachers, and teachers wages in Kane County are too low in some respects. New, beautiful buildings are of no value without quilified personnel to staff them! - East St Publisher COMMUNITY T l(ans ccuntyscat novsnotes Letters To The And Continuing the Kane County Standard er TAIT Mr'James Brown of Kanab is spending a few days here with his daughter, Mrs. Alice Tait Mr. and Mrs. Darol Allred and three children from Omaha, Nebraska and who are spending a vacation In this locality visited with his aunt Mrs. Bemeeta Tait- Friday.

TO ALL WHO ASSISTED IN THE SEARCH FOR OUR DARING BABY, LITTLE VILATE YOUNG, LOST NEAR THE STEED RANCH ON JULY. 4. We wish we could write you each Individually, or tell each of you how much we appreciate your help. We had never realized before how kind and helpful people will be to those In trouble. The officers have cooperated fully, and especially Sheriff Deward Woodward who has gone far beyond the call of duty. To them all, to the people who left their business and work to join the search, the men in the airplanes and those on horseback, to all who contributed in any way, we give our most heartfelt thanks. The formal search is over, but for us the search will never be over until we find our baby. We share the belief of many of the officers that she was picked up that day minutes after she left playmates, and was carried a way in a car. We do not know who took her or why, and we leave judgement of this to God, but we pray that she Is well and te being kindly treated. And above all, we do want her back. Every parent who has lost a child will understand. The era-tcrib, the empty high chair, our empty arms, the pain of remembering her little ways and childish games these are things we must endure alone. But our hearts are softened by the kindness of friends and strangers.
