Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH m THE READER'S DATE BOOK National Sunday School Week Will Be Observed April 14-2- 0 The director of the Chicago Crime Commission, Nathaniel Leverone, has been named national chairman of Sunday School Week, April 14-2- 0. This all-fai- th activity seeks to give recognition to the continuing constructive work of America's Sunday schools and to urge greater attendance on the part of both parents and their children. In accepting the chairmanship of Sunday School Week, Mr. Leverone, also director of the Chicago Better Business Bureau, said, "We must have men who will call attention to the fact that the truths expressed in the Declaration cf Independence are just as true today as then. We must not take these truths for granted, we must work to preserve them, recognizing the great danger in the rapid spread of communistic atheism among our . people. A truly ' i j great influence in making better AMsV. Americans is the contribution of day School Week." ; FEATURE 1 ls significant that the Laymen's National Commit-tee, a non-prof- it group of religiously concerned business men and wom-en, selected the Director of the Chicago Crime Commission to lead the national observance of Amer-ica's eighth annual Sunday School Week. The past year has seen a revelation of the moral decline of our youth through the fixing of ' athletic contests, the misuse of pub-lic confidence, and the Increasing use of drugs and dope. Mr. Leverone ls the founder and chairman of the board of the Auto-matic Canteen Company of Amer-ica. He is the father of the modern vending machine which idea he con-ceived after noting the robbery of poorly serviced machines which took coins and gave nothing in re-- icans are kidding themselves If they think they are living under a representative government, when less than 50 per cent of the eligible voters go to the polls. Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote and the breakdown of morals in government is largely due to our own neglect. We can and will do something about it!" Although the "Ballot Battalion" plan is comprehensive, it is a sim-ple one. More than 3,400 Kiwanis clubs will be urged to spearhead the formation of a "Ballot Bat-talion" in their local communities. All patriotic community organiza-tions, both men's and women's groups, will be asked to join the movement. A general chairman and an executive committee will be elected during the initial meeting of the "Ballot Battalion." Action committees will be comprised of members of all participating groups. The Objectives of the "Ballot Battalion" are three-fol- They are: To conduct community-wid- e cam-paigns to register every eligible voter; to assist the general public in obtaining the views of all candi-dates, and the principles for which they stand; and finally, to sponsor Get Out The Vote cam-paigns on a community-wid- e basis, utilizing all available media and community leadership in promoting such campaigns. Discussing the organization plan, President Hellmann said, "The 'Bal-lot Battalion' is much, much bigger than any one man or one organiza-tion. To be successful, it must be comprised of every civic-minde- d it vy - 1 f "' tiki f'itl J group within the community. Ob-viously, someone must spearhead the program and enlist the cooper-ation of other groups within the community. Kiwanis clubs are non-partisan and will provide the initial leadership. Once the 'Ballot Bat-talion' is formed, it must not be used to identify or glorify any one particular group. It will be an op-portunity for every loyal, worth-while community organization to join hands with others in a success-ful campaign to develop an in-formed and active citizenry." Officers of Kiwanis International also announced that they will co-operate with other national organi-zations in the preparation and use of display and publicity materials to implement the register and vote campaign. This will avoid duplica-tion of efforts and will make it pos-sible to utilize existing funds for the organizing program, it is said. They further stated that the "Ballot Bat-talion" organization handbooks will be available for use by any local or national group. Fathers' Day Is Nathaniel Leverone turn. During World War II he was Director of Salvage for the WPB 1 for the state of Illinois, and served on the Army Council as chairman of the Air Force Committee. One hundred and sixty--s even years ago America's first Sunday school was founded in Virginia, the first such school anywhere in the New World. This was just five years after Robert Raikes established the world's first such school in Glouces-ter, England in 1780. Today there are better than 215,000 such schools across America which weekly bring a knowledge of God into the matur- - Third Sunday in June The third Sunday in June June 15 this year is Fathers' Day. On that day father can settle back for an overwhelming show of family affection and bask in the glowing tributes which will be paid him. It will be the nation's 42nd an-nual observance of the day which was founded by a woman and has been perpetuated mostly through women's efforts. The founder was Mrs. John B. Dodd of Spokane, Wash., who is credited with originating the day as a tribute to her Civil War veteran-fathe- r who successfully reared six motherless children. In succeeding years. Pop may have been taken for granted on most days, but on Father's Day the house, the car, and the family have been his to command. It is a good day for any home town to look for-ward to and observe. Besides being a day for paying respect to father. Fathers' Day it now classed with Mothers' Day, Children's Day and Christmas as ar occasion for giving gifts. It is, therefore, a perfect occasior for the home town merchant whe deals in men's clothing, sportinj equipment and the like for gpecia: promotion and extra advertising ir the. home town newspaper. Sue! promotion will pay off In large) sales. Although business is good through out the nation, there is a genera trend of a slight letdown In volume Here is an opportunity for the hom town merchant to increase his sales ing minds of children, and of their parents. Few organizations have become so much a part of the American landscape as has the local Sunday school. Frequently it was the first religious organization of any type to reach a new community and its service to the church during the past eight generations is unmeasur; able. -- During Sunday School Week this year men and women of all faiths and positions will be renewing their allegiance to the Sunday school of their choice. On April 20, parents will accompany their children to the local Sunday school and during this 7 day observance recognition will be paid to past accomplish-ments of the Sunday school move-ment in America. e e Kiwanis to Sponsor National Vote Campaign Kiwanis International will spon-sor a great, nation-wid- e register and vote campaign for the next nine months. The plan was adopted by the board of trustees during a three-da- y meeting. The campaign has been named the "Ballot Bat-talion" and was presented to Kiwa-nis clubs throughout the nation dur-ing the month of March. In announcing the plan, Kiwanis president Claude B. Hellmann, a Baltimore, 1 Maryland utilities ex-ecutive said, "We are a service organization and we think it is high time for service club members to get into politics. Service clubs in general have been shy of the word 'politics' for much too long. Amer-- r Tr-- Tl S " 4. ):JL .'( I : I SEEKS CITIZENSHIP ...

American Farmer Big User of Electricity A startling ten-ye- ar rise in farm electrification has made the Amer-ican farmer one of the nation's biggest users of electric power. The farmer is now receiving more than twice as much farm high-lin- e service as in 1940. More-over, the amount of electricity used by farmers has increased nearly five times, and the average use per farmer has more than doubled. American farms are now using in excess of 15 billion kilowatt hours of electricity a year, while in 1940 they consumed only 3Vfe billion. In addition, the number of farms serviced by electric power about two million in 1940 has leaped to approximately five million. The average kilowatt hours of power used per farm, ex-clusive of irrigation projects in the West, has increased from about 1000 ten years ago to 2300 today. The farmer is Just beginning on the road toward complete rural electrification. Many new electric devices will be aiding the farmer in his struggle for higher output. Things like automatic poultry feeders, crop-dryin- g equipment, automatic barn cleaners, silo wagon unloaders, and feed handling equipment are all a part of the American farmer's future. j H0111E P?, Touin iw. h IN WASHINGTON "TaJgjl iiiifciiiiTO-iLiiiifrlir- i Struggle for Peace TN a dramatic International broad-- cast from the deck of the Coast Guard cutter Courier, President Harry S. Truman told the people of the world, and particularly those behind the iron curtain, of this na-tion's work to bring lasting peace to the world. It was a message over the heads of governments, beamed directly to the peoples of all na-tions. The Presld "s message recalls to mind his enunciation of the "Tru-man Doctrine" and a column this reporter wrote In April, 1947, Just about five years ago. The same col-- I umn is good today. Here it is: "The impact of President Tru-man's new doctrine of American destiny his new policy of embrac-ing the principle of freedom as op-posed to forces of disruption In the world continues to ' -- ve a sobering effect upon this nation's capital as the magnitude, the awesome as-pects, and the grave import and im-plications of his words are studied and digested. "As a matter of fact. President Truman's message did not contain or advance any new American doc-- trine, because such statements as America's interest in freedom-lovin- g peoples of the world, our sup-port of the world democracies, has been advocated and applauded for years. What the President's mes-sage did do, however, was to ac-company these laudable words with a policy to be translated Into action. "Some high In government cir-cles are aware of exactly what Is entailed by support of the ac-tion. They accept' It Senator Vandenburg (since deceased) Senator Lodge, Senator Morse, Senator Aiken all agreed that the President's action and his policy must be supported and carried rut . . .a policy which places this nation In the breath- - taking position of assuming Its rightful place as a world power and the champion of all the down-trodde- n peoples of the earth, starting with a 400 mil-lion dollar loan to Greece and Turkey. "This tremendous responsibility, the aftermath of war, strikes at the very security of every man, woman and child in America. It ls in fact, a new call to arms, for as a result of this definite American policy these developments are likely to happen: "The people of the nation in every home town in the land must be as united, as single of purpose, as we were in fighting a victorious war; the people must be ready to back up and accept compulsory military training; they must be willing to spend, not only the $400 million, but in all likelihood many more billions of dollars in the next few years; they must be willing to forego some of the luxuries of a hard-earne- d peace, for sharing dollars means sharing goods. It may mean a re-turn to some government controls; it means there will be no tax reduc-tion this year or probably next; it means that American ships and American mo-- may be sent to seats of trouble throughout the world; it means a risk of war; it means that we oppose the spread of commu-nism, and also of fascism or other isms which threaten 'attempts at subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures'; it means un-qualified support of the four free-doms and the principles of the char-ter of the United Nations; it means continued full production of agricul-ture and industry; it means a strike in any large industry would be against the national Interest; it is a must for management and labor to settle their differences; it means that government will remain in the market as a large buyer of food ana commodities for defense and ex-port; it means that prices likely will remain high; it means a con-tinued bipartisan foreign policy is a must; it means this new Truman Doctrine will go down in history-m-uch like the Monroe Doctrine, but expanded to world-wid- e proportions. It surely will mean more sweat and tears, but it very well may mean blood too. see No Halfway Mark "So this tremendous new concept of the responsibility of thi; nation as a result of the last war must be either accepted wholly or rejected wholly by the American people; there can be no halfway mark. We must either take on the responsibil-ity fully and with all our power and resources, or we must shut up shop in Europe, in China and elsewhere, close our doors and let """ssia do what she will with the rest of the world. Those are the alternatives." e The Record How have we as a nation met the tests during the past five years? Are we united and full o purpose to meet our responsibilities, or are we shattered by distrusts, by suspi-cions and lack of faith in our gov-ernment? We have just turned down U.M.T. and we are chafing at con-trols. Have we permitted political mountebanks to divide us in order to conquer, or are we marching with closed ranks to obtain the high pur-pose of a dedicated nation? ACCUSED AS SMUGGLER ...
