This is my countrys birthday; I am thankful of what it means. . . Its not only the worlds highest standard of living the most automobiles, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, TV sets, automatic washers, the tallest buildings Its what is behind these material blessings: My country means to me that men like myself mined the ores, fed the furnaces, hoisted the steel, manned the pro duction lines then, at evening, drove home in cars of their own, to homes of their own, and smiled a small inside smile because the money they earned would send their sons through school, and perhaps on to college, so they could become engineers or constructors, doctors or lawyers, or presidents; that their daughters could become teachers,' scientists. A small inside smile because the mothers of these have a lot of mechanical, electronical, automatical, tireless muscles to scrub and sweep and cook and sew, wash and clean for them And so at 45 or 50 they are not wearied to die, as their grandparents were, but are happy and healthy to live. And so it is with all those who turn the knobs and wheels to produce these things, with those who plan and direct and sell them: The small inside smile for the future of their kids And for themselves the time and unwearlness, after work, To enjoy the sunset, and fear not the night The chance, the freedom to strive, and achieve. That is your land and my land America. . . Where you and I liye peacefully doing those things we want to do. . . Worshiping God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allowing others the same privilege. . . Saying those things we have in our hearts without fear of having our homes raided and being hauled off to a concentration camp. . . Assembling with our associates to discuss matters of politics, religion or any other subject we so desire. Thats the America our ancestors fought so nobly over a hundred and eighty years ago to establish and build into the greatest country under the sun. , . Thats the America three wars have been fought by our great armies and navies during the past forty years to stop aggression by powers that would destroy forever a free state and suppress a free people. As we pause next Monday to observe Independence Day, which represents that day 179 years ago, when that famous document was signed, ending a struggle of a brave people for the right to live, let us ourselves to the great principles of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights that will keep us free so long as they remain fundamentally unchanged. Let us all kneel in humble prayer to thank Almighty God for the tremendous blessings we enjoy by being free people. A united people will remain a free people and a praying people will never digress from the great underlying principles that were so necessary when America was established as a land of freedom and opportunity for all races, colors and creeds who make up our great nation.. ... total of $279,364.07 of the been paid to the State of Utah real and personal property by the county treasurer. on the county tax collections for Duchesne Apportionment County has been apportioned to funds was calculated against a the various funds and taxing un- $6,137,256.00 total assessed value its by Leland Wright, county treasurer.

They ask, too, about saving any of these foods they happen to have in the refrigerator by transferring them to the freezer. Dairy specialists of the U.

But the cream or milk should be frozen in waxed cartons or freezer containers rather, than in glass bottles. Milk, which has not been homogenized, is unappetizing after freezing because the fat separates from the liquid. Heavy whipping cream also may be frozen. Tests at Michigan State College show that 40 per cent cream, sweetened or unsweetened, whipped or unwhipped, may be frozen and stored for future use as a topping for salads and desserts.
