Mr. Curtis is a Republican. ; With the May 31 deadline for 1961 auto inspection stickers less than two months away, about 70,000 have already been distributed, the Utah Highway Patrol reported this week. The Utah State Road Commis-sion this week decided to hold up further work on State St. until Salt Lake City agrees to permit an extension of the proj-ect. The state had earlier plan-ned to widen State St. between North Temple and Third South, but the city balked at the plans between South Temple and Third South. The state then con-centrated on the one block sec-tion remaining between South Temple and North Temple. Relocation of the Salt . Lake County garbage dump from the area of 9800 Third East to 6200 South and 3200 West was an-nounced this week by the Salt Lake County Commission. The new dump ground is the county's old gravel pit, said Commission Chairman W. G. Larson. Federal funds for the support of airports has been exhausted in Utah, Harlan W. Bement, di-rector of the Utah Aeronautics Commission, reported this week. That, he said, will mean that until the funds are restored. state and local governments will have to carry all the financial burden of airport construction. Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah has announced cosponsorship of a bill to clarify the anti-tru- st laws to permit Utah and other liquor control states to tighten inspection to prevent price dis-crimination by alcoholic bever-age manufacturers. "Utah realizes over $4 mil-lion in revenue each year while controlling the sale of alcoholic beverages," Senator Moss said. The annual winter census of pheasants over the state shows a good carry over of brood birds . and an exceptionally high ratio of roosters to hens, according to the Utah Department of Fish and Game. An average sex ratio of one rooster to 3.8 hens was noted among the 17,801 birds counted by conservation officers during the census period. Average ratio over the past seven years is one rooster to 4.32 hens. The department said one male to ten females is considered ade-quate for maintaining the species with the high ratio of roosters shown during this year's census an indication that more of the male birds might well be har-vested by the hunter. Give me the benefit of your convictions if you have any, but keep your doubts to yourself for I have enough of my own. Goethe. . Dr. J. D. Williams To Moderate Model UN at U. Extensive preparations are underway at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City for the Seventh Annual United Nations Model Assembly, to be conducted Friday and Saturday, April 14 and 15, at the University Union. Students from most of Utah's high schools will participate. Dr. J. D. Williams, president and moderator of the U.N. As-sembly, says, "Students learn by doing. The secret of the Model UN is that through 'doing' stu-dents learn what the world of international politics really is," Mr. Williams adds that the ex-perience is a valuable one for every student. Professor Williams says that probably the greatest tribute ever paid to the Model UN came from young student who pre-viously served as a delegate from one of Utah's high schools. She said, "One of these experiences which was valuable to me was to see and realize how the United States is regarded: as an equal, not a superior country. By being on a delegation from another country, one can see the United States better for what it is and how it is regarded by other countries. "Through this experience we see the problems of the real UN and why it is hard and takes time to solve problems. By put-ting ourselves in another coun-try's shoes, we have a complete-ly different look at things and see problems in a way we could not have noticed if we just re-mained Americans all the time. "The Model UN showed us that problems between countries are not just black and white, or right and wrong. They are of many shades of gray, and com-promises and understandings must be worked out.' King Tells Intention To Press For Hearings on Boosters Rep. David S. King, encouraged by the "sympathetic attitude" that the President's space and budget chiefs have taken on his $30 million request for solid fuel big boosters, said Thursday he will press the space committee for early hearings on his request. The congressman said the re-sponse of the budget and space chiefs convinced him that the Thursday conference will ulti-mately lead to "greater empha-sis on solid fuel in the booster program." At their meeting at National Aeronautics and Space Admin-istration headquarters, Director of the Budget David Elliott Bell told Congressman King: "The President has a definite interest in the possibility of speeding American progress in space, and, in the light of recent achievements in solid fuels, your bill will be given intensive study at the White House." Mr. King's bill would provide $30 million to accelerate research and development of the space boosters in the multi-million-pou- nd thrust range, powered by solid propellants similar to those which Thiokol Chemical Corp. of Brigham City and Hercules Powder Co. of Bacchus have de-veloped for the Minuteman. "The presence of the Presi-dent's special assistant on science and technology, Dr. Jerome L. Wisner, as well as the budget director reflects Mr. Kennedy's strong interest in the solid fuel program," the congressman said. Mr. Bell's references to the "achievement in solid fuels" fo-cused on the spectacular success which the Minuteman scored in the test firing at Cape Canaveral. Both Dr. Wiesner and NASA Administrator James E. Webb, who presided at the conference, agreed that the success of the Minuteman strongly suggests the administration "carefully review its program for solid fuel boost-ers to consider the possibility of broadening the program," the congressman reported. Citizen's Duty to Aid Law Enforcement Officials (Continued from Page One) not come into being. In an article in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin Mr. Hoover writes: "The life of a law enforcement officer is one fraught with daily risks, and his acts of everyday bravery for which he is often poorly compensated are accepted as routine by much of . the public he serves. "In line with this, it is most discouraging to read of officers who, while trying to carry out their sworn duty of upholding the law, have been set upon by groups and mobs and severely injured or mauled. ' "For example, in a midwestern state, two police officers attempting to make an arrest were surrounded and assaulted by a dangerous mob. While the officers were being beaten, not one citizen could or would muster the courage to assist them or even to call for additional help so the men could be properly ) defended. In this instance, the officers were able to battle their way to their car and radio for assistance. The tragic consequences which might have erupted otherwise are terribly apparent. "Such utter contempt for the law and its enforcers is shock-ing and intolerable. j "Mob action is as unpredictable and vicious as a tornado. It has the potential of unleashing concerted fury which can be animal like in its intensity. "As a newspaper in the area of the attack so cogently point-ed out, 'It is a basic obligation of both morality and citizenship for all law abiding citizens to come to the aid of the police in the discharge of their duties.' I could not more heartily agree with this- - statement and would encourage all editorial writers ; to continue to valiantly fulfill their duty of condemning and shaming all who would participate in such disgraceful demon- - strations. "Some judges are making examples of irresponsible hood-lums who assault police officers, and rightly so. In other in-stances, courts are meting out stern justice to contemptuous, insolent individuals who defy the law by refusing to aid em-battled police officers where the law so provides. "Making examples of such persons will instill respect for the law enforcement officer in a certain class of so-call- ed 'citizen who has shown disrespect in the past. "If unrestrained attacks on law enforcement officers and unrestrained mob action are countenanced by good citizens, then no member of the community is safe for no one knows when he may be the next victim of mob violence." Safety Council To Concentrate On Child Safety Prevention of child accidents will be stressed by the Public Education Committee of the Utah Safety Council during the month of April. This was an-nounced by Theron C. Liddle, committee chairman. The special promotional activities will be under the direction of Paul F. Folsom, committee member, and safety chairman of the Utah Con-gress of Parents and Teachers. Mr. Folsom pointed out that 114 youngsters under the age of 15 years were killed in home accidents, drownings, traffic and other types of mishaps in Utah last year. Forty-seve- n of these precious lives were snuffed out in home accidents involving falls or poisons, firearms and burns. "While special attention and programs are being arranged by TV and radio stations and school we would also urge parent and social groups to mention or dis-cus aspects of child accident pre-vention in their meetings. If special information or literature is desired, the Council would be pleased to furnish it," Mr. Fol-som added. The child safety emphasis is the fourth monthly theme on the Public Education Committee's 1961 calendar of topics. Previous subjects have been winter traf-fic hazards, moral responsibility in driving, and defensive driving. Of course, when the patient goes home, he can relax in front of his high fidelity component system which is designed to eliminate the very kind of noise that must be added in the dentist's office to kill pain. Dentists Kill Pain With Music High fidelity music, which has charmed both the savage beast and the culture devotee, is being applied by dentists to reduce pain. The system is called audio analgesia, reports the , Institute of High Fidelity Manufacturers. Here's how it works. The patient puts on earphones and holds the volume control in his hand. He hears the same kind of stereo music most people normally hear from their high fidelity component systems at home with one exception. In addition to the music, he hears "white noise" which sounds something like a waterfall. When the dentist drills, the patient turns up the volume, reducing the pain. Experts still are not in agreement on why, this works, but it appears that the feeling of depth and the hypnotic effect created, along with the sound effect on the nerves, tend to deaden the pain for the moment. One of the advantages of this kind of analgesia over in-jections is that there is no after-effec- t. !;; The world-famou- s book J;; "These Amazing Mormons!" !;; May be purchased for $2.00 per copy postpaid, directly $ from the author Joseph H.
