The appointment was made joint-ly by Salt Lake City commis-sioner L. C. Romney and Salt Lake County Commission Chair-man W. G. Larson. The Salt Lake City Commis-sion this week directed the city auditor to investigate present methods of handling meter parking money collections. The commission also discussed a re- - -- port that some parking meters have been rendered inoperative because coin collections were not made soon enough after the meter coin boxes became full. The Salt Lake City Commis-sion this week voted unanimous-ly to appeal a Third District Court ruling concerning the ap-pointment of Metropolitan Water District directors to the Utah Supreme Court. Action was taken by the commission when City Attorney Homer Holmgren reported at the board's meeting that a formal declaratory judg-ment had been signed in the case by Judge Merrill C. Faux and entered in court records. Army Pvt. Sheldon Behunin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph R. Behunin, 1013 Euclid Avenue, recently arrived in Germany and is now assigned to the 3rd Ar-mored Division.

This distinction has validity in local and congressional as well as national elections. Both parties believe in the greatest good for the greatest number, but in general Republicans believe in bringing it about through gradualism and the "trickle down" method. Democrats believe that the greatest good for the greatest number should be expedited and implemented through use of the authority and resources of govern-ment. There is a fundamental political cleavage at all levels of government between those who are enthusiastically and boldly for people and those who are either anti-peop- le or who are begrudging and reluctant in their approach to sound social welfare programs. Our problems cannot be solved just by old slogans of "self reliance," a favorite phrase of the conservative right. Promise of Chemical Progress It is true what they say in the chemical industry that the world of chemicals is all around us. From the clothes we wear to the houses we live in, chemicals con-tribute to our happiness, well-bein-g and comfort. For these very personal reasons, if for no other, we join those celebrating the week of April 9-- 13 as "Chemical Prog-ress week." Beyond the immediate personal benefits we enjoy daily because of the chemical industry, we can participate in this salute to the industry with a broader outlook. We can pause to find out what this ubiquitous "chemical world" promises for tomorrow. The chemical industry had total sales last year in excess of $29 billion. Out of the money it receives the chemical industry spends more than any other industry (some $800 million a year) on research and development. This goes a long way toward assuring Americans of an even better, more health! ul, more convenient liwe in the future. In terms of the future, the outlook for this still-growi- ng industry has never been brighter. By 1970, sales are expected to total $54 billion with many of the prod-ucts making up that total not yet out of the research centers. This will mean not only new uses for existing chemical combinations, but also an influx of new prod-ucts into such existing industries as home-buildin- g, cars and appliance manufacturing. While the products of this industry are making life more enjoyable on this planet, chemicals are playing a major role in America's race to the stars. The rockets of lunar spacecraft will utilize new and powerful chemical propellants. The air the crew breathes will be recycled and purified by chemical process. The men, instruments, and life-suppo- rt equipment on board will make use of electric power collected or generated and stored by fuel cells and other chemical means. The astro-nauts themselves will be protected from the intense heat of atmosphric flight by the plastics and other materials produced by this industry from chemicals. Thus it is that this industry, which is older than America itself, celebrates its 327th birthday this year as one of the stalwarts of our economic stability and our secure national defense. New Trade Program Will Aid Business, Industry, Boggs Says (Continued from page 1) tiate recoprical tariff agreements with this European community. This means more jobs, higher wages and better living for most of our workers. It is true that some adjust-ment of both employees and capital may be required, but fortunately the trade bill sets forth a positive program to meet these needs. Certainly, it is not the intention or this new trade legislation to call upon Ameri-cans to make personal sacrifices of his job or his investments for the national interest without be-ing duly compensated, and with-out being given an opportunity for retraining in a new job with equal prospects for advancement. By providing the President with authority to negotiate re-ciprocal trade agreements with the Common Market, we can build a stronger coalition against Communism. The fact is that the common external market to be erected around this growing European community could have an ad-verse effect upon our country's exports to Free Europe, which totalled almost $7 billion last year, unless we can negotiate reciprocal tariff reductions with this expanding economic union. An increase of our exports mar-gin over imports has always been beneficial to our country's bal-ance of payments position, and the legislation before us is also designed to curb this recurring deficit. As I see it, the protectionist side of the coin represents eco-nomic stagnation and hardship and military weakness for the United States, whereas the posi-tive side of the coin will bring expanded commerce, more jobs and higher wages for our work-ers, greater prosperity for our business N and industry, and a more powerful allied force on Communism. i |
