Volume 40 Number 37 Utah National Guard Charts Muster Day Nearly 6,000 Utah National Guardsmen will muster Satur-day, Feb. 25, to reaffirm their pledge to defend the United States and the state of Utah against all enemies. It is part of a week of beauty pageants, cere-monies and banquets revolving around Muster Day, 1961. Muster Day is a nationwide National Guard observance com memorating the birthday of Gen. George Washington, one of our country's greatest Guardsmen. The observance originated in Utah and was adopted nationally as a time for Guardsmen to re dedicate themselves to their mission. Major General Maxwell Kich, Utah adjutant general, believes Muster Day might be an appro-priate day for Utahns to ponder the fact that the United States has been at war with Commu-nis- m for 43 years. "It is a war we are losing badly because our people do not recognize the conflict. Never-theless, we can be defeated just as dozens of other countries who did not understand Communist deception were defeated." Appropriately ,the week long observance will begin Feb. 17, with another in the Guard series of Americanism Up Front semi-nars at Camp W. G. Williams. On Saturday night, graduates of this and previous seminars will attend a banquet at the Guard's Salt Lake City armory. Speaker at the banquet will be Frank Barrett of Washing-ton, D.C., director of the Rich-ardson Foundation. The founda-tion supports the annual Na-tional Strategy Seminars from which Utah's Americanism Up Front program was derived. The Honorary Colonel's Ad-visory Corps will sponsor an awards banquet for outstanding Utah National Guardsmen Tues-day night, Feb. 21, at Camp W.G. Williams. Decorations will be awarded to Guardsmen who have performed outstanding service. A television program is being arranged for the same evening. For half of Saturday, Feb. 25, Guardsmen will muster in home town armories around Utah for a four hour drill. Included will be the Muster Oath, reaffirming the pledge to defend state and nation. Also on that day, the Guard's 1960 Bantam basketball program will wind up with a champion-ship play-of-f in the Sunnyside Avenue armory. Saturday night, the Miss Utah National Guard pageant will be held in Salt Lake City to choose the fairest of 22 finalists from around the state to reign over Guard activities for the next year and to represent Utah in this spring's Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. Moss Again Backing Conservation Corps The Senate bill to establish a Youth Conservation Corps has been reintroduced Thursday and it again has the support of Sen. Frank E. Moss of Utah. Senator Moss said the provi-sions were virtually the same as those contained in the bill that passed the Senate last session but did not come to a vote in the Housed and continued: "It will give thousands of our young Americans in the 'in be- - tween' ages of 16-2- 1 an oppor-tunity to work under the direc-tion of professional conserva-tionists, such as Forest Service rangers. They will work on proj-ects like those advocated in the Forest Service's program for the national forests tree planting, stream bank stabilization, timber stand improvement, reseeding, insect control and small water-shed development on both state and federal lands." The bill's provision that the Corps may be used on state as well as federal projects was met in committee at the suggestion of Sen. Moss. It was based on the experience of Utah groups who have worked with young men on forest and other projects. For work on state lands the state concerned will pay 50 per cent of the cost. Members of the YCC would get $60 a month plus food, hous-ing, clothing, and an extra $5 a month for each six month ent period up to 2 years. The bill authorizes enlistment of 50,000 youths the first year, 100,-00- 0 the second, and 150,000 a year after that. "In addition to the value to the boys themselves, a YCC would aid the states of the west to con-serve and develop their natural resources. It could also be most useful in developing Utah's state parks. "We must give more attention to our camp sites and outdoor recreation facilities to accom-modate the increasing millions of tourists who travel America every year," he said. the-LE- ASED GRAPEVINE Wilburn N. Ball this week was named Superintendent of Pub-lic Instruction by the State Board of Education. He fills a vacancy created by the death of Dr. E. Allen Bateman. Mr. Ball has been acting superintendent since October. Preservation of the city ordi-nance against curb parking of automobiles overnight has been advised by the Salt Lake City Traffic Advisory Council.

Strength of the Democratic Part (Continued from Page One) has defined. Woodrow Wilson in his first inaugural message said, "the success of a party seems little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite purpose." It is to this purpose and to this service that we must dedicate ourselves. Our task is to move forward with responsibility, with courage and with harmony to secure the achievemnts of this endeavor. The New Froniter no longer stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but spills across continents and reaches out in space toward the stars. The men and women of the New Frontier need qualities of Courage and integrity, enthusiasm and de-- termination to march with the President toward these goals. Our programs and our forces must be equal to this task. The New Frontier will be shaped and molded not only along the banks of the Potomac, but in the shadows of the statehouses and the town halls all across this country, and in the hearts and minds of people everywhere. It is our continuing job to create a climate of opinion that wins the respect and admiration and support of the people toward the policies and programs that reflect the philosophy of the Democratic Party. Let's Keep Rolling Ahead The truck that rolled out of the plant to get this newspaper on its way to you and the truck that brought the fresh news-print in rode on tires, consumed gasoline and was otherwise equipped for its job because of one thing: mass production. Its tires came from an enormous factory, its gasoline flowed from a huge farm of tanks and the truck itself was put together in a factory drawing on the skills and labors of many other factories. This tremendous chain may seem complicated, but it really isn't. What it boils down to is that largeness, properly guided, enables us to get this paper to you because each element involved is available at the lowest possible cost. The genius of science and technology makes it possible, yet without quick, efficient and inexpensive means of capitalizing on it for the benefit of the ultimate user, it would all be wasted. Advertising is a key step in translating this genius into objects that eventually reach all of us. Without it, our standard of living would be inconceivably lowervthan it is. We celebrate Advertising Week this year with the slogan that "Advertising Keeps Us Rolling." Thus the delivery truck moving through our streets is well suited to serve as a symbol. The many items that produce and propel the truck would not be available in anything like necessary quantities or reasonable prices without the advertising that builds a mass market and makes mass production possible. The truck, of course, is only one of all the millions of goods and services whose performance is enhanced by advertising's duty in communicating with the ultimate user. As we said, it may seem a complicated business, but it isnot. Just keep in mind that mass production is at the heart of the growth we require. Without advertising to kep us rolling we would soon find our-selves poorly fed,( poorly housed and poorly equipped to face the future. It is with pride that we salute advertising and all who are engaged in it. How Use Of Water May END YOUR CONSTIPATION WORRIES As you grow older, your system be-gins to dry out. This is true of your digestive system, and it may lead to constipation.

Take Serutan daily with water and enjoy regular elimination or your money back. are not really free. We inherently know this is not true. Yet too many of us sit back, smugly satisfied that our elected officials will "do the job" in preserving the American way of life. And if they don't by golly, we'll vote for another guy next time! It is not that simple. We need to be reminded more than ever before of the sacrifices and struggles of our forefathers in carving a govern-mental framework that brought us to world leadership; of those hardy pioneers who cut a route through mud, rock, timber and over mountains and rivers from the east to the west. We must be moved to action; to help our country in times such as these, when world peace is threatened! We Need to be Reminded Every American, whether he realizes it or not, is endowed with the power to stimulate historical reflection and patriotic thinking and endeavor for the good of mankind. It doesn't take a college degree to establish in one's mind the knowledge of the basic principles upon which this great nation of ours was founded. Dictators can shout themselves hoarse trying to convince the rest of the world that Americans Just For Today ... . Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better per-spective of my life. |
