Pull Oot Of Vietnam Din)?G Bone: By Ml fr : Jeanne Jones This "Black Ice" Business What is worse than "Black Ice" on the streets? "Black on the sidewalks is worse if you happen to be walking. And "Black Ice" on our city sidewalks is what we have in Ice" Tremonton! Many of our Main Street businessmen are very good about shoveling off walks in front of their stores. But there are those who do not clear their walks, and these businessmen are a menace to the city patron who uses the sidewalks. Tourist stopping for a meal, getting off the bus or alighting from their family auto, may find themself on all fours as they try to gain footage on Tremonton's city sidewalks, covered with ice. A fine example we are setting for the slogan "Shop Locally," if we can not take the time to clean a path leading to and from our place of business! While we are getting rid of the "Black Ice" on the sidewalks, the City might take advantage of the city ordinance and scrap roads clear of iceand snow while the "no parking between 7:30 a.m. and 11 a.m.' ordinance is in effect! If an ordinance is going to be made, the obeying of such an ordinance should be followed through. Issuing tickets and impounding cars left on city streets would clear the path so city workers could clean a path for the next day's business of local shoppers and tourist seeing Tremonton as "The City with No Black Ice!"

"Thank goodness," thought the father, "Mike's not old enough that he'll have to go there and fight." But time gets away and today Mike IS OLD ENOUGH. Like most of his buddies Mike will not shirk from his responsibilities. He is well aware that a good many young men just like him have gone north to Canada rather than face the draft He is aware, too, that others In similar circumstances have used other means to avoid participation in that Asian conflict. We had beleived for a long long time that it was the duty of all American young men to accept the inevitableto serve when called.. ..But possibly the time has come when we should view the situation from the young man's point of view and with word. UTAH Outside The State JJqJ Once them ask a few pertinent questions. Here are some of the questions that have been asked since the U. S. first began its active participation in that conflict more than ten years ago: Was war ever declared by Congress? No. Has there ever been any sincere effort on the part of the United States to really win the war? No. Has the U. S. ever recognized the obvious fact that the government of South Vietnam is corupt, dictatorial, and bases its sole reason for survival on American men and money? Again the answer Is no. Is there any sound reason to believe that America can win the war, or that any progress toward winning has been made since the involvement began? No. Is there any chance that American servicemen held in North Vietnam prisons could gain release short of a general pullout of U. S. troops from South Vietnam? No. There was a time when we would have viewed with alarm the suggestion that this great nation of ours must admit defeat and suggest that a general withdrawal from that conflict be Instituted at once. Had we been able to come up with a single "yes" to the five questions above we wouldn't be writing this paragraph at this time. But we have determined that from the very beginning Vietnam has been a negative proposition. We couldn't see that point of view for a long time; we sincerely felt that it was all worth itthat the name of the game was to stop the spread of communism. And this was where it wasin South Vietnam. Or so we had it figured. The threat of communism still exists; perhaps stronger and more fearful now than ever before. But we cannot defeat communism on our own shores by sending our young men off to a country which does not even recognize the meaning of the Country Preacher EDITORIAL PAGE Jime& caxhirQahuid 62 FIVE YEARS AGO January 6, 1966 miles $12,000 damage in smashup one and one-ha- lf east of Howell intersection on Interstate 80 occured Monday morning.. .James and Gloria Gay Brown of Tremonton are the parents of a baby boy who arrived December 22. ..Mr. and Mrs. Neil Rhodes entertained at a New Years Eve dinner party...

But it's up to each woman to protect her own child's birthright... the right to be born healthy and free of birth defects. You may ask yourself.. .what has birth defects to do with me? Birth defects affect one family oat of ten. The tragedy of birth defects is a national problem which can affect any mother... regardless of race, education or economic status. Everyyear 250,000 American babies are born with mental or physical defects. ..some seen, others invisibletoo many placing a Farm Prices Subject Of NFO program to raise farm prices was outlined at the annual National Convention of the National Farmers Organization which ended in Louisville, Kentucky, recently. Box Elder County delegates returning from the three -- day affair reported "The most determination, solidarity and spirit of purpose" ever exhibited at an NFO conclave. The theme of the convention was "NFO, The Farmers' Only Hope." National president Oren Lee Staley brought the 12,000 delegates to standing ovation 16 times as he outlined the plans ahead for the organization in his State of Affairs Message. A multi-barrel- ed "After January 1, the NFO will initiate a Commodity Lift in Red Meat Grain and SpeStaley cialty Commodities," told the delegates attending from all 48 states.

That's what it's all about this year. And that's what we mean by putting you first. These are uneasy times. There are major concerns. About pollution. About safety. About the d economy. About your dollar. We know. For the past 10 years Chevrolet research people have questioned thousands of people on every subject from rising taxes to the size of the glovebox in their cars. We've found that price and maintenance costs, trade-i- n value and quality have become tremendously important. Your car has to work. It' has to last. And each new model must have more built-i- n value. At Chevrolet, we understand. You want meaningful change. And our aim is to give that to you, as you'll see in the 1971 Chevrolets. hard-earne- Caprice. The biggest, most luxurious Chevrolet ever. A complete change. Bigness in itself is nothing. But if it allows you to lengthen the distance between the front and rear wheels (which we did), then you've got something. You've got a smoother ride. The idea in the 1971 Caprice was to give you the looks and comfort of a six- - or car, without asking you to pay anywhere near that much for it. And above all, to build in as much dependability and security as possible. So we changed the body structure for 1971, too, We made it stronger. And we made it quieter by putting a double Vega. The littlest Chevy ever. It wasn't changed from anything. Before building Vega, we read everything we could get our hands on about little cars. We talked to owners. We studied little cars up one side and down the other and, literally, tore them apart. We found out what made them tick, or why they didn't tick. What ticked were gas economy and dependability. What didn't were underpowered engines, cramped quarters and getting blown around in the wind. In our little Vega, everything ticks. It's not just another little car. You didn't want that. It's one little car that does everything well. layer of steel in the roof. Caprice, as you can see below, is a lot of luxury at a Chevrolet price. I TV Special. 70 Tour Show Dear Mr. Editor.

(The kind you smoke, not cook with.) One little fella in our church suggested that with the lessons and just during Sunday School we dispense chew bubble gum. I can just see our church changing its name to the Church of The Holy Bubbles. We've got four or flve inactive fellas in our congregation, who'd come every Sunday if they could play checkers in the pews. 2j Chevrolet presents Changing Scene III with Engelbert Humperdinck Don Adams Barbara Eden and a host of other stars ABC-TJan. 7.
