Leaving us this week are President and Sister O. P. Robinson. He was previously the editor of the Dc News, a professor at New York University, and a missionary to France, and has just finished a great job of leading the mission. Taking his post is President Callister, a lawyer of California, who has already made a hit with all the people who have met him. NEWSPAPER L - ASSOCIMIOS Pimcs (Toiiiiiiiie Miircli - - i Americans seem to be interested in health as never before. The news media report more on this subject than almost any other. Government funds pour into a broadening array of health programs. This, in turn, raises the question of the role of voluntary agencies like the March of Dimes whose traditional fund drive is currently under way. Can these groups still make important contributions to medical progress? A reassuring answer has come from a top government scientist. Dr. Richard Masland, director of the Na-tiona Institute of Neurological Dis- eases and Blindness, told a congres- sional committee that: I have repeatedly heard . . . now that the federal government - ' I f ! ; ; ! is putting so, much money into research, there isnt any need for the voluntary agen- cies. I think this is a tragic error . . . it is not easy for us to start something in other words to create the pro I think it will be a very sad gram if the day only place a scientist can for go support is to the government. We agree with Dr. Masland and ... ... believe the National Foundation- March of Dimes has always performed the precise functions he considers so we important. The organization demonstrated this in the conquest of polio. Without the Sail vaccine which came in 1953, and the Sabin vaccine of 1961, thous-ands of American children and adults might have been stricken with polio-- " myelitis last year. In any case, the success of arresting high polio incidence in the U.S., as well as many other countries, fixes the two vaccines as great victories for V medical science ranking alongside the preventative measures used against cholera, smallpox, diphtheria, yellow fever, etc. It can be remembered that many Carbon County children, now in the coilegc-ag- e group, played an important part in the Salk program when they participated in June of 1954 in a national testing program for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which financed Dr. Jonas Salks quest for victory over this dread disease. Many of these children have among their prized possessions cards which attest to the fact that they were Folio Pioneers. The dwindling statistics concerndisease stand as this ing to who worked to all monument a to and our own Polio reach this goal who Pioneers may have forgotten what an important part they played in delivering the knock-ou- t punch to this dreaded disease which struck horror into the hearts of parents for so many years. And now the National Foundation-March of Dimes is again proving its point in its fight against birth once-dreade- defects. focusing as much public attention on the incalculable human damage, physical and mental, being caused each year through the birth of a quarter-millio- n children with birth of Dimes has defects, the March f brough about a resurgence of medical interest fti V field once shrouded in superstition and bereft of hope. Much more progress can be made, with your help. Join the March of Dimes. We did it before we can do it again. By . Ail Kyc for an Dive so-call-ed to such crimes. Just how do such processes continued stays of execution hope to carry out the intent of capital punishment laws? This intent, we believe, is the threat that to take a life means the forfeiture of the takers life. It stems from the Biblical eye for an eye adage and should be a determent. Public opinion, unfortunately, has a way of mellowing with the passage of time and we sometimes think that is the purpose in seeking delays by defense counsel. The indignation that is aroused after the commission of such crimes soon quiets except for those directly affected. How can we forget what this little girl or her family must have suffered? We have those who are now blaming society in general and environmental reasons for Poulsens horrible crime. Others contend that his legal rights were violated. What about the rights of the victim? At that horrible moment she was denied the rights which her slayer now claims are his. He had his day too many of them in court. His victims death we abhor. His death we can abide with a clear conscience. Stop, Look Then flio They say an ways at once but weve never heard of a human being who can do this.

This you must do before the looking.. You cant let your car coast while youre looking, or youll end up in the middle in more ways than one. Suppose two drivers are approaching an intersection from different angles. Both take their foot off the gas, see each other, and think, That guy is going to stop. The result is two junk heaps. Its like playing Russian roulette with cars instead of owl can look two guns. This business of is another accident-make- r.

Besides Dorothy Brown of the a Choir, Vernon Merrill of the tired joke department, and Willy Gentry who assigns the superior seats on the buses, everycne will remember Dave Robertson, consulting maintenance engineer (janitor). Upon opening the mail lately I found that he does a bit of writing himself in his own scholarly style and that he has been kind enough to share his talent with some of the missionaries around the world by sending them copies of letters which he has laboriously written for them. d fl't Less than two days before he was to die before a Utah State Prison firing squad, convicted murderer Darrell Devere Poulsen was granted a stay of execution by a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. lie was to die for the murder five years ago of Karen Ann American Fork Mechling, baby sitter.
