Jones, State Health Commissioner, in a message to the communities of Utah in beginning the annual drive for sanitation and beautification. Committees in almost every community in the state will cooperate with the sanitary inspectors of the State Board of Health, who, under the direction of Howard Hurst, acting Director of the Sanitary Division for the SJate Board, will visit health officials, physicians and city officials in the next few weeks to promote the movement. Committee to be Appointed Already the civic clubs of the state are interested in this prog gram for spring and will appoint committees to further the campaign in every city where they have chapters. The state organisation of the Junior Chamber of Commerce has already taken action and other organizations have signified theii interest. Last year nearly forty towns and cities of the state made a big affair of spring clean-uand the success of these efforts has inspired more cities. It is estimated that more than one hundred and twenty-fiv- e communities will participate. Requests for the inspectors from the State Board to assist the local citizens in promoting the drive should be sent immediately to the Sanitary Division of the State Board of Health at the Capitol Building, Salt Lake City house-cleanin- p, Mt. Emmons Aaronic The sum of $5.00, will be donated to the First Aid Station fund by the St. Pauls Episcopal Guild, it was ,tinnounced this week. Although the net proceeds from the card party given last Monday evening by the ladies ol the Guild did not quite reach the $5.00 mark, it was decided that amount would be donated. Following bridge, supper was served to twenty-eigh- t guests. Mr. Charles H. Selch and Mrs. Ernest Schonian won prizes for high bridge scores. An exciting feature of the entertainment was the raffling ot the Guild quilt. Jerry Merkley was the holder of the lucky number. This is the second beautiful quilt Mr. Merkley has won in the annual raffles.

Plans for the project call for a 40x60 building to be constructed of materials salvaged from the old school building which will be torn down as part of the project. The new building will be located just west of the new high school building. At the same time a beautification program, to be carried on under the National Youth Administration will be, started at the high school. This program will include the laying of cement sidewalks, planting of lawns, erecting protective fences, and planting ot trees, shrubs etc. Work Monday will commence on the laying of the sidewalks, and may, since it is Arbor day, include the planting of a few trees if they can be obtained by that time.

The action was taken at the request of a delegation of representatives from the North country towns after they had received word from the state road commission- that it was up to the county commissioners to designate which of the secondary state highways in the county should be improved first. Great difficulty has been experienced along this romti? during the past winter and for the past month, while the frost has been leaving the ground travel has been almost impossible. Added importance is given to the road by the fact that It is used for almost its entire length by various of the district's school busses which have been delayed or kept from traveling entirely many times during the winter and spring because of road conditions To Arrange Meeting A request was also sent to the road commission in an attempt to have them represented at a meeting with the county commission and road delegates from the various communities to discuss an improvement program. The meeting, if arranged, will probably be held in Duchesne in the near future. The committee also asked the county commissioners to start an improvement program on county that particular roads, asking attention be paid to all roads on which school busses travel and on the road from the state highway near Utahn to Talmage. the communities Representing at the meeting were: Lynn Ross, Arcadia; R.

(Continued on Page 8) Local Opinions On Court Issue Editors Note: The following opinions on the proposed change In the Supreme Court were solicited by us In an endeavor to present our readers with some local opinions on the subject. Only about half as many as we requested have written. If more come we will present them next week. By KY E. DILLM N Roosevelt attorney, and Republican candidate for Governor at the last Election. The proposal to change the judiciary, and to pack the Supreme Court is an lnovation never before attempted in American history. It attempts to come within the letter of the Constitution but violates the very spirit of it. It is an attempt to make the Judicial department subservient to the executive, and destroy its very independence, which is the greatest guarantee we have of the protection of individual rights. I am not opposed to limiting the age when judges might serve, but such procedure should be done orderly and as contemplated by proper amendments to the Constitution. Generally those practicing before the courts, and most familiar with its operation, are opposed to the proposed method of con trol and dominance. They see In it a great challenge to the protective that Insures balances, conAmerica, its fundamental cepts of democracy. (Signed) RAY. E. DILLM AN. By L. A. HOLLENBECK Duchesne attorney, and always active In Democratic politics. The Supreme Court issue has a lot of able controversialists, pro and con, many of them among the leading men of the nation. One side claims that it is a violation of the constitution to make the change as suggested by President Roosevelt, which the other side denies, and says, that the personnel of the court has already been packed by the special interests. Of course, in a sense, that may have been true, but to pack it on the other side, doesnt make it right, for two wrongs do not make a right. It is a little too dangerous an experiment to let the bars down, under the conviction that Roosevelt will not harri us; It is the man who comes after him who may do the harm. To me, the whole matter has a different angle from what most men look at it. While theie is much in (Continued on Page 8) |
