Light Court Calendar, Heavy lule The "Pleasant Grove City Court of Judge Harry Richards completed a light calendar for the month of November. Only 13 cases were handled. However, Howev-er, the amount collected in fines and forfeitures was not far below be-low average. The total was " $292. " ' - ' . Of the 13 cases Jjaadled 11 were for traffic violations. The breakdown of these is as f 61- . lows: : . Speeding, 3; running stop sign, 3; failure to yield right of way 2; improper U-turn, 1; driving under the influence" of"" alcohol, 1; following too close- ly, 1. One person was convicted of public? Hon intoxication and one case was dismissed. Even if November arrests . and convictions were below normal, nor-mal, police activity showed no slacking off. Officers were busy day and night, solving social problems, keeping people out . of trouble and assisting them out of self-made difficulties. Below Be-low are listed a few of the Away back in Medieval times a scientist of the day said, "Nature abhors a vacuum." This was just another way of saying that when a vacuum exists nature rushes in to fill me voia. . Such a phenomenon is exemplified exem-plified in the case of tornados or other winds of high proportions. propor-tions. Air pressure in the "eye" of a tornado is much less than that on the fringes. Thus a partial vacuum exists. For this reason, the walls of buildings in the path of the tornado tor-nado fall outward as the air inside the structure rushes out to equalize things. Vacuums are often produced sociologically as well as physically. phys-ically. The recent senseless butchery of Innocent white people peo-ple in the African Congo is proof of that fact For years, areas in South and Central: Africa had been under the control and domination domina-tion of the Belgians and British. Brit-ish. The Europeans set up governmental, gov-ernmental, industrial and agricultural agri-cultural controls and agencies. They relegated all the menial tasks to the Blacks and took the profits produced by their labor. Almost suddenly, the Belgians and British granted independence independ-ence to their former colonists, withdrew military and governmental govern-mental control and turned the areas over to the Blacks to be governed by them. In this way a sociological vacuum vac-uum was created since the Blacks had little previous education edu-cation and practically no experiences exper-iences in the difficult processes George Paul, local appliance dealer, and chairman of the business committee, announced weanesaay that final plans will be concluded this weekend for . any further Christmas events in connection with the Turkey Days and that next week's paper pap-er would carry more information. informa-tion. He urged shoppers to ask merchants for Turkey Days Tickets' starting on Monday, and after signing their name, to drop them in the boxes for a chance at the 40 turkeys. According to Mr. Paul, a 1 meeting of all Pleasant Grove merchants and business men will be held in the City Hall Friday morning at 7 a.m. At this meeting plans for the annual an-nual "Days" will be discussed and final decisions made. He urged all merchants to attend and voice their opinions. for November more interesting activities.

People, who live in a dictatorship dictat-orship have little need of education edu-cation and experience in government. gov-ernment. The thinking is done for them. And therein lies the danger, even in a democracy, such as ours. Our recent trends to turn over ov-er most major decisions and public activitis to the national administration in power, are the first steps toward the creation t of sociological vacuums thru-out thru-out the land. ; The all too prevelant, modern idea that "we needn't worry, Big Government will take care ; of us," is as dangerous as it is fallacious. The principal fly in this soothing ointment is that it places a premium on irresponsibility irres-ponsibility and mediocrity. ? The recently passed Civil 1 Rights legislation will do little for the teeming hordes living on government doles in the Harlem Negro tenement houses. They have lived in a vacuum too long. Human beings, whether white, black or yellow, must somehow get the idea that they alone, are responsible for their own salvation, physically, sociologically soc-iologically and economically. Government can remove the chains that bind men and women. wo-men. But the long climb toward to-ward freedom and independence independ-ence must be made by them, individually and collectively. 4 And, it's a long, hard, torturous tor-turous journey. So long til Thursday. . t ! y " ""' 1 i v GOLDEN WEDDING Mr. ue nonorea ai an open house next Friday, December 11.
