We are anxious to present the history of each candidate, before election, elec-tion, and invite all candidates, whether Republicans or Democrats, Demo-crats, to mail or bring the information in-formation to The News office. Last week we erred in our history of Jasper Puffer, Republican Repub-lican nominee for County Sheriff. Sher-iff. Mr. Puffer was not called to military service. during World War I, as we stated. We had taken notes on several sev-eral candidates, and through our own error slated that Sheriff Sher-iff Puffer was a veteran of the first World War. We apologize to Mr. Puffer for this error. The Beaver County Selective Service Board is no longer permitted per-mitted to release to newspapers the names of persons called for physicals or for induction. How-t How-t ever, there is no restriction against publishing these names, and we urge Beaver County youths receiving "Greetings" to drop in or phone, so we can publish their names. Thursday morning Gordon Murdock, manager of the White Market, received notice to report re-port to Hamilton Field, Calif., Oct. 26th. Gordon is a master sergeant in the Air Force Reserve. Re-serve. In Sunday's Salt Lake Tribune Trib-une we noticed a large adver-. adver-. tisement offering all equipment and property of the A S & R at Murray, for sale. The smelter is being closed and liquidation proceedings are under way. On the same page with the ad was a featured story of A S & R-operations R-operations in Peru, "the biggest potential mining project in Peru." There's a very vivid example of the results of Washington's attitude toward the mining industry: in-dustry: subsidize foreign operations oper-ations and curtail American operations. op-erations. Help labor get high wages, then curtail operations here and throw American laborers labor-ers out of work. And along with the closing of the Murray Smelter, goes curtailment cur-tailment of rail shipments, and that brings the story pretty v . close to home. What good do high wages do us, when all the available jobs are elsewhere? Economic Mobilizer Symington Syming-ton calls for higher taxes, stiff-er stiff-er curbs on credit and longer working hours to win a "fight for survival." He thinks it possible to avoid price and wage controls "in the immediate future." Our guess is the wage and price controls will be slapped on soon after election allowing prices to spiral a little more and allowing the candidates to soothe their constituents a lit-- lit-- tie more without having to ex-; ex-; " plain wage freezes AFTER the cost of food and clothing and furniture has had its jet-pro pelled joy ride. A $100 reward has been of-, fered by the Telluride Power; Company for the arrest and conviction of the persons shooting shoot-ing the bushings on the Miners-ville Miners-ville transformers. Personally, we can't understand under-stand any sane person shooting at insulators, wires or trans- formers. Such vandal:sm is inexcusable, and may lead to serious consequences. Shooting at the insulators of a substation is even worse. Luckily, the weather was dry, otherwise the transformers would have been shorted out and Minersville would have had no power whatever what-ever for many hours . Persons shooting power l'nes or insulators should be dealt with severely. We hope the vandals who shot the Minersville Miners-ville transformers are caught. Mr. John W. Smith has been ordered to report for induction in the armed forces, Oct. 24th, at Fort Douglas. |
