Show Bruce Jenkins Speaks To Women's Group State Senator Bruce Jenkins spoke at the home of Wilford M. Burton, 668 17th Avenue, this week to the conjoint men and women Study Group of Legislative Legisla-tive District No. 1. He divided his talk into three main headings: 1. No place to hide. 2. The stone wall talks back. 3. The real race between the western civilization and communism commu-nism must be won in the class room. He stated that those who consider con-sider themselves self appointed and self annointed, who talk so much and act so little, are among our most difficult problems. He praised the increase in the interest rate recently granted by the banks or funds deposited by the state and said that if a fair rate of interest had been paid in past years the new State Office Building would have been clear of all debt now. This fair rate of interest is a result of a bill in the Senate sponsored by Mr. Jenkins. Bruce Jenkins feels htat better representation from urban areas is vital to the well-being of the state. Eighty per cent of Utah's population is located between Brigham City on the north to Payson on the south. He asks the question, "Are we going to represent rep-resent people or acres?" He concluded con-cluded with the statement that one of the reasons that people look to Washington for help is the failure of the State Legislator to meet the local problems on a locas basis. |
