Utah's weekly newspaper publishers pub-lishers gathered at Como Springs in Morgan County last week to enjoy the hospitality of the Morgan Mor-gan Lions Club, discuss problems of the weekly press, and have a good, three-day relaxation. Al Epperson of Kaysville, publisher of the Morgan County News, was chairman of the committee com-mittee on arrangements, and went "all out" to see that his visiting brethren enjoyed their stay in his territory. Swimming bowling, fishing, roller skating, dancing, sotfball and a tour of the Devils Slide plant of the Portland Cement Co. were on the agenda. A canyon jamboree and a banquet at Como Springs were staged by the Morgan Lions, and were thoroughly enjoyed by the publishers. Highlight of the sessions was a discourse by Alvin G. Pack, manager of Radio Station KALL at Salt Lake,, titled "The World of Tomorrow." It was an interesting, frightening, frighten-ing, thrilling prevue of who.' type of world we will be living in in the future. How far off, or how near, that world is, will in large part be determined, Mr. Pack pointed out, by the desire of the publishers of the nation to bring this new world about to acquaint their readers read-ers with the possibilities of the future. Explaining that this new way of living was "his world of today to-day he had experienced all the unbelievable things he was going to tell us about," Mr. Pack took an hour in relating such experiences experi-ences as driving along in his car at 60 miles an hour, talking over his auto-telephone to a party in New York. On a recent trip to the west coast, he picked up V telephone, many miles from San Francisco, pressed a button on the dash board, and talked to a San Francisco hotel room clerk, where he made room reservations. reserva-tions. A new electronic stove, recently re-cently perfected by a world-wide electrical manufacturer, "baked crust-less bread in a few moments, mo-ments, cooked a 16-pound beef roast in 45 minutes, and fried eggs, broken upon the smooth top of the stove, almost instantaneously, instan-taneously, merely by having the operator point his finger al them. He pointed his finger, and bing! the egg was fried." The two-way wrist radio Which Dick Tracy uses in the daily comic strips. Mr. Pack said, is no cartoonist's dream, but a reality, real-ity, which has successfully operated oper-ated at a distance of two miles. Going into a "world of tomorrow" tomor-row" which Mr. Pack's friends are delving into but haven't actually entered, the Salt Lake genius, who was first to construct a radio transmitter west of the Mississippi, more than 30 years ago, prophecied that in the near future a gadget about the size of a wrist watch would record the thoughts of men, and even possibly pos-sibly pull the thoughts of the ancients Ceasar, Paul, King Solomon and Shakespeare, out of the ether. Dozens of other electronic wonders, as startling as the atomic bomb, which are not dreams or possibilities, by actually actu-ally have been perfected, were described by Mr. Pack. We have asked for permission to list and describe these scientific wonders in The Milford News, and anticipate beginning publication publica-tion of a series of articles concerning con-cerning them, in the near future. . We received this week a very lengthy declaration of candidacy from one Dr. A. Herbert Marshall, Mar-shall, M. D., of Charleston, Mo., who aspires to the presidency of these United States. He starts cut: "You are hereby notified that I require of you to do all you can in every way possible to elect me president of these United Unit-ed States of America, but whatever what-ever you do, it must be done in an honorable, and in a peaceful manner." We can assure the good doctor that we also will do (Continued on Page Four) HERE'S MORE ABOUT RUMINATOR (Continued from Page One) it in a quiet very quiets man-' man-' ner. I intend, the candidate (?) says, to spend the rest of my active life trying to help solve the , world's problems. I am a Democrat, Demo-crat, and a man who has no price, t know how to solve all political problems, and if given the authority that Roosevelt had I will be able to do so, and will do so. I am a. political prophet: I come to stir the dreaming, stagnant nation and to hold back j its feet from irretractable des-j des-j cent. To heave the land as with I an earthquake, and to shake the j silly, shallow idlers from their j seats; my words will come from j the Lord's own mouth and be. ! thundered into your conscience. I will reason, teach, warn and rule. Providence, they say, always al-ways raises a great leader in every crisis. The good doctor thinks government gov-ernment should get out of private pri-vate business and stay out, which is about the only statement he makes with which we agree. We believe, Doctor, that we've carried out your request we've done all we can to help your candidacy. can-didacy. , We've done it peacefully, peace-fully, too, 'cause we don't propose pro-pose to get into any quarrels or arguments to help elect you. |
