The speaker at the noon lunch-eon meeting will be Glen C. Shaw, president of the Utah Broadcasters Association and general manager, radio station KOVO, Provo, Utah. He will pay tribute to the outstanding work of U.S. and Canada radio people, and will speak on the subject "Radio, the Sound Citizen." In announcing the special meeting, Thomas M. Ivory, presi-dent of the Kiwanis Club of Sugar House, cited the prominent role local radio stations have played in the success of Kiwanis ticipate in National Radio Month. In all too few portions of the ' world today does freedom of speech or the right to salute that freedom exist. "Freedom of speech is not a right to be taken lightly or used indiscriminately. Its existence places a heavy burden upon com-munications media; they have both a right to report objectively and to criticize; and they have a responsibility to maintain their own integrity. It is up to them to safeguard the very ideal which enables them to act. "That they meet this heavy responsibility, and do it well, is a matter worthy of the highest commendation from us in Kiwa-nis, as well as from citizens everywhere. "May I urge you then to salute these guardians of freedom of speech without which neither our democratic form of government nor our service club ideal could long exist. Join them in telling the world the story of their slo-gan truly, Radio is "The Sound Citizen." . community service projects, Without this invaluable pub-licity assistance, coupled with similar assistance from the press, Kiwanis would be unable to serve the community as it has, President Ivory added. Approximately 100 Kiwanians and their guests plan to attend the radio appreciation meeting. Father Bob Cochrane is handling arrangements for the Kiwanis Club of Sugar House. Mr. Ivory noted: "It is our privilege, again this year, to par- - Fishing Outlook Listed as Good The state-wid- e outlook for the June 2 general fishing season opener was termed generally good this week by department of fish and game officials. With the season opening now little more than a week away reports indicate that all acces-sible streams, lakes, and reser-voirs will be stocked and ready for the 4 a.m., June 2 kickoff of the general season. Department spokesmen report-ed that anglers will find them-selves somewhat more restricted this year than in the past, since heavy snowpacks still remain in many popular mountain areas, including the Manti, Boulder, and Uinta, to bar fisherman ac-cess. Lowland waters below the 8,000-8,500-fo- ot level will also appear changed in that all reser-voirs and lakes are currently renorted full or filling with ex- - cellent prospect for the opener. Streams, especially throughout northern Utah are expected to continue high and roily through the opening weekend. Despite this, however, spokesmen indi-cated that most streams will re-ceive fish for the opener. Somehow the silver lining is easier to find in someone else's cloud. The wind of anger blows out the lamp of intelligence. The only way to compel men to speak good of you is to do good. Voltaire. Guard Destroys 'Missile Launcher' Had there been an enemy mis-sile launching site in Bountiful Sunday, the Utah National Guard's Company C, 19th Special Forces Group, would have par-tially destroyed it. Instead, members of the unit substituted an abandoned con-crete, silo-typ- e sewage treatment plant at 4th North and 11th West. The target, however, made no difference to the Special Forces soldiers. They ripped it apart with a series of miiltary explosive blasts beginning at noon. Maj. Gen. Maxwell E. Rich, Utah Adjutant General, said the structure was selected for its likeness to a missile launching site and because its location placed it in virtual isolation. The abandoned plant, contain-ing approximately 18 feet of liquid waste, was donated for the demolition exercise by Boun-tiful City because of its poten-tial hazard. Prior to noon Sunday, under the command of Lt. Col. Morgan G. Higham, the Murray-base- d SF unit set off a series of small demolition charges to demons-trate reactions to various types of explosives in various quan-tities. Three blasts of TNT and plastic explosive followed. The concussion wrecked the plant by shattering the concrete, although a large part of the structure was left standing. Ace-tylene torches will now be used to cut the metal reinforcing rods in the building, and the job will be completed by a bulldozer.

SPECIAL WASHINGTON REPORT mn New Job Hopes For Millions By Arthur J. Goldberg Secretary of Labor The Manpower Development and Training bill, which passed Congress this year, is perhaps the most significant legislation in the area of employment since the 1946 act which set a Govern-ment policy of seeking to maintain full employment. The new training program will give a real meaning to the act by making possible the training of hundreds of thousands of workers who are denied employment because they do not possess the skills required by our constantly changing economy. Their training is important both to them as individuals and to the economic health of the entire nation. Unemployed workers eligible under the Administration's Manpower Development and Training Act can obtain: Up to 52 weeks of train-ing in a skill needed to gain employment; Adequate allowances for heads of families to enable them to support their fami-lies and devote full atten-tion to the task of acquir-ing news skills; Thorough guidance and as-sistance from the United States Employment Service in helping them to choose the kind of work for which they are best suited and a concerted effort to help assure that a suitable j job rewards their initiative. There should be no great dif-ficulty for adults acquiring new skills under the provisions Also, included under the pro-visions of this act is a special program for testing, counseling, and selection of youths, sixteen years of age or older, for occu-pational training and further schooling. Workers in farm families with less than $1,200 annually net family income shall be considered unemployed for the purpose of this act.

Administration leadership was necessary in this phase of deal-ing with unemployment to in-sure that the benefits of auto-mation do not become burdens of widespread unemployment. This legislation will reduce pockets of unemployment brought about as a result of automation by providing new skills to unemployed workers stranded by the change, as well as to assess our manpower re-quirements and so anticipate change. lems of the present, but requires us to anticipate future needs as employment conditions change. As President Kennedy asserted: "This is the first in a series of needed employment programs and I am hopeful that all of the measures necessary for achieving a high and stable level of em-ployment, recommended by this Administration, will be avail-able to the Federal Government in the near future." Our success in fulfilling our world responsibilities rests upon the success of our efforts to maintain a strong and flexible economy at home. This Man-power Development and Train-ing Act will make a significant contribution to these efforts. New!

LDS Church Gives Backing to Scour Building Program The head of the first church organization in the nation to officially adopt the Boy Scout movement into its youth program has given his endorsement to the Great Salt. Lake Council, Boy Scouts of America building program. President David O. McKay of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints cited the role of scouting in developing young-sters in urging support of the building program. Boy Scouts and scout leaders in Salt Lake, Tooele, Summit and South Davis County are un-dertaking a $485,000 capital im-provement program which would give the scouts their first new home in 50 years. The program will finance a new Scout Service and Training Center at Fort Douglas on prop-erty donated to the scouts by Salt Lake City. It will also fi-nance camp improvements at Tracy Wigwam, Camp Steiner in the high Uintas and new camps in the Bear Lake area. The Latter-da- y Saints Church adopted the Boy Scout program on a nation-wid- e basis when the scouting movement was in its in-fancy. In a prepared statement en-dorsing the fund drive, President McKay said: "Scouting is related to the three most influential forces in the development of youth; namely the home, the school and the church. Since this much-neede- d Boy Scout Building program will enrich op-portunities for boys in our area, we encourage all to give gener-ously of themselves and of their substance for the benefit of our boys." Ezra Taft Benson, a member of the Council of Twelve Apos-tles, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, is honorary chairman of the drive. Salt Lake banker Ames K. Bagley is gen-eral campaign chairman. The special gift phase of the campaign is currently underway. The public portion of the drive will get underway May 28. |
