Furthermore, if neither of the candidates for any particular office of-fice meets the approval of the voter, he may write in the name of anyone else he prefers. That's certainly a wide opportunity and a glorious privilege. And again, no one needs to Lknow for -whom the - individual -votes, nor why he votes as he does. It's all done in a secret voting vot-ing booth, where inquisitive eyes may not see. All the Judges of election know, is whether or not the citizen has voted. " Of course, elections are held' in most nations of the civilized world. They even hold so called "elections" in communist countries. coun-tries. But, as most would assume there's a difference. In Russia, for instance, there are elections held at certain designated des-ignated times, determined by the Communist Party. .-Since.', there rs only one legal party in the land of the Soviets, there is only one ticket and one set of candidates. No registration book is kept. If a Russian citizen wants to vote he goes on election day to the polling place and asks 'for a ballot. bal-lot.

Thank God, we, as yet, are 'not forced to vote under un-der a system like that. Here in Pleasant Grove, six honest, reliable and public-spirib-ed men have permitted their names to appear on the ballot for three city offices mayor and two city councilmen. The voters on November 7, will choose three of' the six. Through the public press and other advertising media, the -background, training and previous-experience previous-experience of these , men have been truthfully told. In addition, -each set of candidates has publicly pub-licly proclaimed a platform under un-der which they pledge to work, if elected. Whoever . is elected will, of course, have received the approval approv-al of the majority of those who voted. But that Isn't enough. The winners should . also ' enjoy the sanction of the majority of the citizens in this community. This much, at least, we owe to them as loyal American citizens.' If we prefer free, secret and unrestricted ejections, instead of ' the kind allowed in Mr. Khrushchev's Khrush-chev's "workers paradise," the best way we may express our preference is to "get out and vote." We may not be able in every instance to elect the candidates -we prefer; but we will be exercising exer-cising the God-given freedom to express our will, guaranteed under un-der the Constitution.

P.G. Water System Not Up to Standard According to a directive datd October 23, 1961. from the Federal Fed-eral Housing Administration, Pleasant Grove is one of some 200 Utah communities that will not be on the approved FHA list as of November 1, 1961. According to Mayor .Burton H. Adams, FHA approval Is being denied pending certain Improvements Improve-ments to the collection lines of the Pleasant Grova culinary water system. According to the bulletin "your health" Issued May 1, 1961, only 33 Utah water systems were fully approved and approximately approximat-ely 180 were provisionally approved, appro-ved, pending recommended Improvements. Im-provements. The directive, referred to above and made available to the Review Re-view by Mayor Adams reads as follows: "The Utah State Department of Health Issues a publication entitled. en-titled. 'Your Health.' All Public Water Supplies are listed in the May 1961 issue. They are classified classi-fied : Approved ; Provisional 1 y A.pproved; or Not Approved. A directive has been received by this office from Washington that FHA shall not issue commitments commit-ments In areas served by Systems Sys-tems on the 'Not Approved' list. Some sixty days ago, all Systems Sys-tems "on this list, supplying water to the principal areas where we issue commitments, were notified of the impending enforcement of the dirctive. They were urged to contact the Board of Health and take such steps as necesary so that their name would be deleted from the 'Not Approved' list Shortly after Oct. 1, 1961 we sent a letter to the Mayor of the Community, or some other responsible re-sponsible person connected with the water system, informing him that unless the water Supplier in question was removed from the 'Not Approved list, we would beginning November 1, 1961, be unable to issue commitments where the culinary water was obtained from such a source. This will not adversely affect outstanding commitments or cases In process, and those received re-ceived prior to the close of busi-nes busi-nes October 31, 1961. As we receive notification in writing from the Utah State Board of Health that a system has been removed from the list in question, we will immediately rescind the restriction imposed. more equitable harvest of these prime game birds wherever the landholder would permit this-. many days of shooting. Spokesmen Spokes-men noted, however, that several posted hunting units have qualified qual-ified under the law to hold a shorter hunting season. Spokesmen said that the department de-partment is giving full support to these hunting units and the public isurged to respect the land holders wishes in this respect as in all other uses of such private lands. The State Triangle Committee has been working for the past five years to reduce the trespass problems occurring during this intensified hunting season on the agricultural lands. Sub committees commit-tees work at both the local and county level to better the problems prob-lems common to private land use, with several types of Triangle Committee signs regarding land use now on display on lands thru-out thru-out the state as they have been agreed to byjandholder, sportsmen sports-men and department representatives. representa-tives. Increasingly during the , past two years County Agents and the Wildlife Extensionist from Utah State University have taken tak-en part m Triangle meetings, with all parties at interest now urging the use and respect by everyone of the Triangle signs. They are available from farm organizations or-ganizations and department offices of-fices over the state. The department reminded all hunters to respect the rights of the private landholder during this upcoming season. The law, as written on each fish and game license, decrees that it Is illegal to trespass upon private property prop-erty at any time without the express ex-press permission of the landholder landhold-er or person, in charge of such lands. Director Harold S. Crane, urged landholders to use these signs. He reminded each hunter to observe ob-serve the trespass laws and of the need to respect all signs if hunting is to continue in the fixture fix-ture on private lands. II ! I II U: ' n ; .
