Show Attend Moss Meetings With a dozen plus hats in the ring for the two County Commission posts up for election this year, it's going to make for some tough decision making in County Conventions Con-ventions next month. In order to guarantee that the very best top four men are placed on the primary ballot ' in each of those slots, it is of primary importance that a broad cross-section of the citizenry attend mass meetings. meet-ings. There they will select their delegates to the County Convention, and upon the shoulders of those delegates will fall the important burden of choosing which county coun-ty commission hopefuls will be placed on the primary ballot. Gov. Calvin L. Rampton, in a message urging Utah citiens to become involved in a meaningful way by attending at-tending the May 15 mass meetings had this to say: "Totalitarian hegemonies, autocracies, and dictatorships hrvc all been proposed and tried with little citizen participation par-ticipation or success. In light of these facts from the legacy of time, I am convinced that the democratic tradition tra-dition is the greatest hope for preserving and furthering the noble goals of life, liberty, and happiness. The great issues of our dav war and peace, environmental quality, qual-ity, crime, education, drug abuse, and economic respon-sibility respon-sibility offer us all a challenge to display our commitment com-mitment to these ideals." We would like to join with Gov. Rampton and the leadership of both political parties in challenging Grand Cnuntv residents, particularly the newly . franchised youth, to reserve the time now, mark the calendar and attend the May 15 mass meetings.
