The mu-nfS- al election will be held on For the city commission: Joe L. Christensen and Conrad B. Harrison, incumbents; James L. Barker Jr., former city attor-ney; Rodney S. Williams, meat Rodney S. Williams Enters Race for City Commission RODNEY S. WILLIAMS Rodney S. Williams this week announced he would be a can-didate for the Salt Lake City Commission. Mr. Williams, 1117-9t- h East, a meat salesman, said in his an-nouncement that he decided to run "because I feel that Salt City citizens are deeply con-cerned about the daily harangu-ing in the City Commission. "1 feel sure they are going to the polls this coming election and are going to vote for some-one with no record of connection with the commission's past poli-tics." Continuing, he said, "I offer myself as a candidate without any past connection with politics a candidate who has followed very closely the city's problems and progress, who looks at the city's problems as a common in-dividual and wonders if it might not be possible to achieve things without spending dollars in as-tronomical figures." He said he felt the public was presently confused by such mat-ters as water, garbage collection, legal opinions, bond issues, and other matters of city govern-ment. Barney G. Turner Files for Post On City Commission BARNEY G. TURNER Salt Lake City market owner Barney G. Turner this week filed his candidacy for one of two positions on the Salt Lake City commission. Mr. Turner said he was enter-ing the race because he believes that problems of city govern-ment can be solved if people concede the problems exist and then vote for the candidates who can solve them. He was an unsuccessful candi-date in 1959. Mr. Turner has lived in Salt Lake City seven years and prior to that resided in San Francisco for 13 years, where he was a Navy material inspector. He is a native of Georgia. In his announcement Mr. Tur-ner said that "with some sound fiscal management of the city by 'dedicated commissioners' the taxes could be reduced if waste and duplication were eliminated. Mr. Turner advocates a "close watch" over the 19 millon dol-lar bond issue for capital im-provements to prevent it from becoming a "political football" and a "multimillion dollar white elephant." TODAY'S EDITORIAL : : jf Esther Peterson Cites Changes in Address at Logan "New inventions, discoveries, and developments are causing many changes in the job world and promise even more spectac-ular changes for the future," Mrs. Esther Peterson, Assistant Secretary of Labor and Director fthe Women's Bureau, said Jn she spoke at the leadership school of Utah State University Extension Services this week. "Space exploration, atomic technology, research in medicine and biology, automation all are bringing new industries, new services, new job operations and new training requirements. As some jobs are being abolished, others are being created. In the process, the skill level of much of the work is being raised, re-quiring better trained workers. "This means that we women; are going to have to get busy if we want to take an active and responsible part in tomorrow's economic world. We must be willing to get the necessary edu-cation and training to prepare us for the new work to be done. "We estimate about 30 million women workers in 1970 as com-pared with 24 million today. What's more we expect that the combination of homemaking and paid employment will be more than ever the way of life for many adult women. Rough esti-mates indicate about 18 to 20 million working wives by 1970 as compared with 12 million in 1960. Fortunately, more women are getting formal schooling and training now, and this is a good beginning sign, but the numbers must continue to rise if women are to qualify for future jobs in such expanding fields as scien-tific research and development, medical and health services, and community and social services. "We must realize that many , of the women who have been able to get unskilled and semi-continu- ed on page 10) Start Work Mow for Democratic Victory in 1962 We can remember when Republicans used to make occa- - I sional suggestions on foreign policy. But Republican National Chairman Miller doesn't bother with this. In none of his recent midwestern harangues, as far as we can see, did he suggest what he thought the correct course of action in the Berlin crisis might be. But that's usual. All through the last session of Congress, the Republicans have tried to cut back on the Kennedy program, never to suggest anything positive. That's one reason why the party isn't more successful. Now let's task about what lies ahead. As Democratic National Chairman John M. Bailey says, the stakes of 1962 are great ones. Will the Congress get the Democratic strength to forge ahead on the great program which was started this year, or will the Republicans get the strength to block progressive legislation ? What the Democrats across the country do between now and then may tell the answer. We need to strengthen the organi-zation. De need to register new voters. We need to bring in more young people, and more old people. We need to do a better job of getting our program across in the suburbs. We need to get to the people the story of this Administration's great accomplishments and the sorry record of bitter, partisan I Republican obstruction. There is no quick, easy and magic method to do these things. The only way we can be sure of a Democratic victory a victory ' tor an enlightened and effective program a green light for progress is hard work in the wards and precincts.
