Show 2 Price, Utah e, Thursday, Feb. 15, 1973 Novak's National Scene Out in the Cold Does TV Need an Analyst? Pi tr By television Instant an--f)dvoc- analysis of presidential activities reached a new peak after the inaugural balls, when NBCs Edwin Newman and Barbara sat around Walters forever exseemingly ploring the political implications of President Nixons That was so entertaining and informative, we will soon hear something like ata Comment two-ste- J Idle to show Congress he means business. Ed: Thanks, Frank. RALPH NOVAK Thats p. the following: Ed: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We our interrupted regular programming to have bring you this special report Nixons on President rss unexpected appearance at a window of his White House office, Since this is the first glimpse of Mr. Nixon the public has had in weeks, we have gathered our entire staff of correspondents, plus the NBC janoitorial g staff and the Sisters here. Well start with Frank-FranWell, Ed, I believe I noticed that during the Gunter is gone non sym-bolical- ly Ding-a-Lin- Gunter Grass is gone now. Poor Gunter! , Leaves, k: a v grass and - 7'1 undoing. Poor Gunter! The story goes that Mr. Grass was walking along Main Street one day and came up on a lake at a corner. He planned on making a deposit at a local bank when he noticed some litter washed up by the tide. Being a civic minded citizen, Gunter picked it up and looked around for the nearest trash can. And lo and behold, there It was, right In the middle of this lake. Gunter, as a friend later recalled, did not let little things stand In his way. So with determination of a man five times his size he stepped Into the lake and that was the last he was seen. Rescue crews were called out to pump the water away but all they found was the hat, floating In the lake which has since been named after him. Poor Gunter! This lake may not be there next year, because the city might clean up leaves and grass next autumn so they don't collect In the storm drains. The waste then gets water mixed in and a little cold spell comes along to his case follows the Union woes tractual Dear Editor: Your story concerning the merger of all UMWA districts west of the calls for Mississippi clarification and comment. The four man appointed commission was said to have visited several western states to "check with the miners there on their feelings about the merger." I attended the meeting in Price two weeks ago Sunday which was a hurry-u- p affair. This meeting was made to appear that the views of the members were solicited. The being recommendations of the dozen or so members who were present, most of whom had the experienced disorganization delays and excessive expense of a distant district office in Rock Springs, Wyoming, were for more study and possibly some solution other than the unweildy merger. I feel the majority of the members of this area oppose Mr. Biggs plan and I know I am more in touch than Biggs. Expenses were sole reason given for the act, yet when asked for a projected expense for the new large district with its eleven subdistrict offices, not to mention organizers and old Safety Union Politico Biggs talked out of both sides of his but answered mouth, nothing. Can you imagine a planning commission so inept as to propose a plan to save money without even, estimating the cost of the proposed new plan? Other questions of equal importance were skirted, bypassed, and evaded by the commission. One other example was the one by a local union executive. Q. Will Miller, in accordance with his promise to elect all union officials, elect or appoint the aforementioned organizers and Safety A. We are still waiting The proposed merger will not save money. The flying, eating and motel-hotexpenses of the dozen or so execs would be out of this world and common sens is all one needs to be able to A few weeks ago "The Watcher" asked all merchants to please not park along Main Street. Well nothing has changed. Today the Main Street bunch still parkes their cars In front of their stores and runs out with meter money. These sprints to the sidewalk box is causing serious problems in that It is Long-gon- e breaking up conversations between the marchants about why they are losing business over the hill. During a recent tour of Main Street one local merchant pointed out three spots along Main Street that were being taken up by businessmen. On another occasion, a clerk was spotted running out to the meter to keep the city in business. Maybe If the clerk had moved her car and walked to work, then a customer would have pulled up in that spot and instead of keeping the city In business she might keep her doors open a little longer. THE WATCHER: Mr. Zip has started moonllghting-a- s Cupid. The Post Office has issued a new stamp designed to make lovers forget the cost of postage. Instead of having a picture of a famous person or a duck In flight the stamp simply says "LOVE." Now all they need is a "Smile" stamp to be put on all bills or "Bear With It" for ail the unk mail dealers. el member of the Bewer's Association recently reported out of a national survey that the leading litter bug is a young man from a small town near his home. This means that the area should encourage little old men from the big city as tourists. He also reported that the largest part of this nation's waste problem is paper. Washington D.C. has a solution to that. Congressmen and Senators send out large packets of junk mail to keep the city streets clean. A see it. 4 Even more important, however, is the very apparent inefficiency of the plan as regards to conducting the business of the union. The miner, for whose benefit the Union is supposed to exist, will work at the will of the company for months even years, while Mayor Mainot MINISTRATE THE AF FAIRS OF OUR CITY ! face-to-fac- talk doesn't make cents MR.

SHE'S con- settlement of disputes procedure all over the country. May I remind the new national officers and our commission that if they consider the money before they tthink of the member they may lose the member and then where will the money come from? Lose enough members and the reality goes also you know! I hope the miners of District 22 will write our national officers and I also hope their minds are not made up in advance as was Millers commission. Harold L. Alger Not that bad Editor: resident of Price City, I would like to give a little credit where credit is due, and that goes to the Street Department of Price City. I think they do a wonderful job all the time but they have done an exceptionally good job of the snow removal from the last two snow storms we have had. I know they have been working a lot of extra and long hours on this, but we seem to take this for granted. I have read in the paper lately of all the ridicule and bad things they have been saying about the Street Dept., but come on, lets stop and think for a minute. There is a limited amount of men working on this Dept.to maintain the whole city of Price. I think theyre doing a wonderful job and there is still a lot of us that appreciate these men and the work they are doing. I really think they deserve some recognition. Dont you? Thank you. Mrs. P. Spruell To The As a I am writing you in regards to an article considering Vietnam casualties that appeared in your paper last week. I dont know where you got your information, but the article about Major Stanley Sprague is entirely wrong and I feel you should correct it. In the first place, Major Sprague was not a native of in Helper nor of Utah fact, he had never been in Helper and only passed through Utah a couple of times. He married my daughter who was a former Helper girl, but she never knew him when she lived in Helper. v Also he was a jet pilot in the Air Force which was his only duty, and his home was Rapid City, South Dakota and not Iowa. The families of these men, whether they are killed in action, missing or prisoners of war, go through enough grief and emotional strain without having' their attention called to articles that are so inaccurate. A similar article have asked for a correction from the Deseret News also. I trust you will correct this. Yours truly, Mrs. Oline Nilson ap- with Congressional leaders? Frank: No, in case he decides to call in air strikes 84111 In Editors note researching the article that we ran in the checked with local mortuaries and went through their records. The Major drew a big blank from local residents. It was found that he himself listed his home as Helper with the Service and when he died in 1966 the Service listed his home as Helper to the local media. The story lists his home as Ohio and not Iowa which again was found through research. In checking we called the Deseret News had which limited knowledge about the officer. Crews cited Dear Editor: Id like to give the "Street Dept." a hardy word of praise for their fine job of snow removal during this storm. I have never seen such a thorough job of cleaning up the streets. Especially Id like to remark about how good they cleaned around the schools Really great. So I think its time they all get a little recognition for their efforts. They deserve it. Patsy Elder Fewer persons to file tax forms under new ruling SALT LAKE Fewer Utah taxpayers will have to file a tax return this year, according to Roland V. Wise, District Director of Internal Revenue for Utah. Mr. Wise pointed out that recent tax law changes have increased the income levels required for filing a return. Now, a single person under 65 years of age with a gross income of less than $2,050 for the year does not have to file a return. This applies to minors and students, Mr. Wise noted. No return is required from anyone 65 or older unless the gross income was $2,800 or more. Married couples living together and filing a joint return do not have to file unless their combined gross income is $2,800 or more, or $3,550 if one is 65 or older, or $4,300 if both are 65 or older. However, even when the income is under these limits, taxpayers should file a return to get a refund of any income tax withheld from salaries or wages, Mr. Wise said. Businessmen, farmers, and other be walking by and he wanted to wave to me. As I said to Tricia the other . . . UTAH HOUSE 440 East 3rd South Salt Lake City, Utah - Viet response peared in the Deseret News a week ago, but the facts there were not the same as appeared in your paper. I I McGee? How do you like them apples, you Ed: Now, John, lets keep our objectivity. But I think we have time for only one more comment. Barbara, will you sum up? Barbara: Peachy keen, Ed. I think it is, if I can make a little joke here, perfectly clear that Mr. Nixon came to that window for one reason and one reason only. I happened to Presidents appearance at lasted the window-whic- h water were Gunter's Report rep. Pressure began mounting in the House the past week and many important legislative matters are still in committee with only 23 legislative days left to complete the program on the 40th session. This week several important legislative matters passed the house which are of importance to our area. Some of these matters are Mike Dmitrich revenues of the previous year, including school district levies, and allows individuals to meet with the equalization board during the first year only after the property has been reevaluated. This bill will be of special interest to Carbon County since our property will be (HB-10- 3 as follows: Comparative Negligence Comparative negligence which restricts defense of contributary negligence in suits arising out of death or or injury to persons property by adopting the concept of comparative (HB-2- 5 negligence. (HB-57Ta- x Levi Limit) This bill allows a taxing district to increase property tax levies for the purpose of property increase services arising out of increases in population or influx in industry or business activities. Warning Statements on Alcohol Beverage Containers tainers This bill requires warning statements on all alcoholic beverages except on mini bottles sold by Utah liquor stores. I think this piece of legislature was considered rather hastely and is very ridiculos in concept. This requirement will require from our tax payers approximately $2,000,000 per year. Hopefully our state senate will not adopt this legislature. (HB-6- 6 Property (HB-6- 1 This bill allows that any tax levi shall not exceed 106 percent of the property tax this year. This Occupational safety act) bill established state division of cupational safety health providing a oc- and for inaguration of safety and health standards. We will begin finalizing our state appropriations within the next week, at this time we shall know which taxes if any will be eliminated.

David? David: It came as no surprise. There was the President. He was standing there. As if he were, in fact, at the window, which he was. It was clear. He was looking for the mailman. Ed Ed: David, that was the dumbest analysis I ever heard. David: Nobody used to say things like that to me when Chet was still here. John: If I can interrupt. Ed, I believe that what the President was doing in the already-famou- s Window Appearance was to tell us that be should America its at outward looking worldwide responsibilities but should stray too far from home to do it.
