Show The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand motion Continued from page 3 shortly before Tuesday that Sherm Harmer, Jr. would replace me as one of the opponents. It seems, according to Ball, that Jennings Phillips had asked for Harmer, because Harmer was running for the Legislature, and he needed the exposure. Ball remarked that Harmer did a good job, and had pointed out that he had talked to 1000 constituents in Murray and all of them were opposed to Metro. This breadth of opposition had an impact on the Chamber directors. Free Press? Sixty years THE FACTS CHANCE Wanting to congratulate Harmer, I phoned him. He seemed pleased that called, and told me how he happened to be picked as one of the speakers. It seems he was in the offica of Murray Mayor Vaughn Soffe when a call came in from Ms. Marilee Latta. Ms. Latta was looking for someone to be a partner with Commissioner Jennings Phillips in opposition to consolidation of Salt Lake County and City at a short breakfast debate before the directors of Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce on T uesday, September 24. Mayor Soffe decided to decline the offer, but remarked that Sherm Harmer, Jr. happened to be present in his office, and he recommended that Harmer be chosen in his stead. Latta and Harmer talked it over on the phone, and an agreement was made that Harmer would pair with Phillips. By now we could say we had story No. 3'. Story No. was a change in subject. No. 2 was Jennings Phillips asked for Harmer, and No. 3 had it that Marilee Latta was soliciting someone, anyone to work with Phillips, when she stumbled into Harmer. 1 . 1 i STORY NO. 4 By that time I was looking for Story No. 4. so phoned John Lattin and asked what he could tell me. Earlier, on the Sunday when I had phoned Fred Ball, he had told me that John Lattin had called for changing from consolidation to land use for September 24. However, when I phoned him on the evening of the 24th, he t old me that he had plan ned to be out of town early that morning, but had changed his plans. He had not intended to attend the breakfast meeting, but ended up doing so. Lattin said he had been quite surprised to see Harmer and not me as one of the two opposing guest speakers. 1 SO MANY LIES The next day the editor of this paper phoned Fred Ball, and asked him what was going on, and would 1 be asked to address the Chamber directors. Ball said, If you dont mind, I dont want to say anything else about what happened. There have been so many lies told now I do not want to say anymore. But as far as Breitling being asked to speak to the group, we will definitely have him on before the vote on March 4. However, that never came to pass. John ago Swinton, editor of the New York Times at the annual dinner of the American Press Association, stated it this way: There is no such thing as an independent press in America, if we except that of little country towns. You know this and I know it. Not a man among you dares to utter his honest opinion. Were you to utter it, you know beforehand that it YOUVE COME A LONG WAY BABY So there we have a little vignette of Marilee Latta, liberated woman, who hopes to oppose the unresponsive persons who are now incumbents; not because .they are men, mind you, but just because they are unresponsive. Youve come a long way, baby. Nothing astonishes men as much as common sense and plain dealing. - are you yrrararav never appear in a New would print...

In fact, inflation is expected to hit above 25 this year. At first there was an abundance of money available for easy borrowing. Now the situation has changed. Money is scarce and interest, rates high. One begins to wonder if these inflationary pressures are sometimes purposely put in motion in different countries for the political or economic advantages they may bring to individuals or groups, at the expense of the masses. Bad inflation contributes to the wealth or power of a few and to the poverty of the many. It is reported that Communist-le- d labor unions are now contributing much to the speed of inflation in Australia. 86-F- G WICKLIFFE, OHIO 44092 Support Our Advertisers Mention the BEESLEY MUSIC 65 SOUTH WEST TEMPLE SALT LAKE CITY 364-651- PIANO TUNING 8 MOVING RENTAL UTAH INDEPENDENT MUSIC EVERYTHING FOR THE PIANO OWNER EE AW RING 1 ng MONETARY SCIENCE PUBL. BOX 7 THE WISHFUL DREAM AND THE STERN REALITY YOUVE COME A LONG WAY, BABY with women prisoners who had to take their unborn babies to jail. Would not such incarceration violate the child's rights? Im no lawyer, but it would seem that since the child could do nothing outside prison that he could not do inside prison, no infringement of rights could be charged. The child's right to life would presumably be as safe in prison as out (unless the mother were scheduled for execution, in which case there would have to be a postponement until the child was bom). If such problems really bother the Civil Rights Commission, perhaps it ought to consider instances already conceivable under existing law such as the case of Siamese twins, only one of whom is convicted of a felony. One is tempted to comment at book length on many aspects of this Report. For instance, there is the claim that No one has suggested that abortion is a violation of social duties or subversive of good order. The fact is that many people believe the first social duty of a mother is to protect the life of her unborn child, and that the willful killing of innocents is inherently subversive of good order. And the Commission claims that women forced to continue unwanted pregnancies face a whole range of discrimination, when in fact women with wanted pregnancies face the same alleged discriminations. Besides, what worse discrimination is imaginable than that between a child that .is allowed to live and one that is killed for abortion. This outrageous Report goes on and on with praise for destructive Supreme Court decisions, such as the one banning prayer in public schools, and another forcing states to reapportion in accordance with federal guidelines, and its attacks against the concept of states' rights and legislation to curb forced school bussing. Considering the total contempt which this Commission has shown for the most innocent and defenseless of human beings, as well as for our most basic constitutional rights, it hardly deserves to be called a Civil Rights Commission.
