NEFF SMART, Editor and Publishei Entered as aecond clasi matter November 19, 1944 at tha postoffice at Orem. Utah, under the act of March S, 187. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Relet! One year, strictly in advance $3 00 Six Months 2 M SELF DETERMINATION AT HOME Regardless of one's feelings as to whether Orem will profit by having a liquor store or will suffer by having one, or whether it will make no. particular difference, there is an issue at stake in the recent liquor store controversy con-troversy which strikes us as being serious. The issue is this: how much control does a city government gov-ernment have in conducting the internal affairs of the city. The facts of the case seem to be that the city council, comprising the duly elected representatives of tne people of Orem, believes that the interests of the city would be served best by not having a liquor store. The members of the state liquor commission, on the other hand, comprising appointees of the governor of the state, believe that the interests of Orem would be best served by having a liquor store It appears to us that there is something basic about determining whose decision should prevail. On an international scale we place great emphasis on the right of self-determination. It has become a sjcred riliht one of those inalienable rights we have nead so. much about. Could it be that while we make a great stand for the right of self-determination in far; places, we are losing portions of that same right in our own back yards? RESIGNATION OF BAKER Lest the resignation of Bill Baker as president of the Orem Chamber of Commerce and its acceptance last Friday by the chamber membership, be construed as an indication that Bill isn't still one of Orem'a most loyal citizens, or that he has cooled off on Orem's future or opportunities, let it be here recorded that it was not a perfunctory vote of thanks that was extended extend-ed to Bill following the acceptance of his resignation. Chamber members are certainly aware of the amount of time and money Bill has spent in building chamber i membership, in plugging for the city, in organization work and in encouraging meeting attendance. Few people, even among those who are paid or elected to serve Orem, have been so unflagging in efforts to serve Orem. During his term of office he has been tireless in promoting, encouraging, advertising, planning and proposing ideas. He gave, and will continue to give, generously of his time in the interests of the city's , development. Many of his plans, ideas and proposals were not greeted greet-ed with enthusiasm which in no way reflects upon the earnestness of Bill nor even upon the merit of those plans and proposals. The fact that his program was not IgMting the support he thought necessary led to his resignation. As a lay member of the chamber Bill will still be plugging for the development of Orem. Never doubt his loyalty, nor his generosity in serving the community. "THUNDER OH THE LEFT" 1 --8 EDGEMOIIT Tana Richards 031-R2 The ward dinner was very successful.

PRETTY POORL OMPANV rfS f J J? I A 1 h ha DURING this past week in Washington Wash-ington the spotlisht of publicity has been turned on the question of public health. So diverse Is the opinion opin-ion on the question that not only congress, but the medical profession Itself has been split wide open. Indications In-dications now are that the congress may take some action for instance, to provide for more hospitalization, medical centers and other essentials of the proposed measures but there Is little chance of a meeting of the minds In this session on the highly-controversial highly-controversial subject of compulsory medical insurance. Publication, only recently, of a plan approved and sponsored by the American Medical association, which has, until this year, denied there was need for such a plan at aS, has stimulated discussion and brought to a focus the state of the nation's health and the question of what to do about it Is this question a matter for private solving? Should tt be done with state and local funds, if at all? Should It be done with federal fed-eral funds, plus the private compul' slon of an insurance plan? ' There are already three Important Im-portant measures In the Con. gress. Senate Bill No. 5, signed by five senators; the Cellar bill in the House (HE 345) and the Dingell bill in the house (HB 783). The tetter bill is almost identical with the Senate bill. Both axe administration bills. The AMA bill Is scheduled for introduction soon. me principal difference in the AMA measure and the administration administra-tion bills is that the administration bills provide for finance of hospitals and training of new medical person nel with government grants and of compulsory health Insurance with a three per cent payroll tax split one and one-half per cent from the em ploye and one and one-naif per cent from the employer. The AMA bill contemplates fl nancing the measures with local and state funds almost exclusively and m voluntary private health insurance plan, similar but less costly than the Blue Croat or other shnoar plans. The fact UuU the Maral r"- enuneot already Is lan ice health anUas, tratieo easts, Is speadkkg " plans to adept a : host better heaMn eh ef the pres ent spending. Whether this h true remains to be seen. The fact Is, however, that congress is vitally concerned about the state of the nation's health. Surveys Sur-veys show that on any given day there are approximately seven million Americans absent from their work due to illness or some other disability, a tremendous drain on earning power and production. pro-duction. The Social Security administration ad-ministration says the cost to the nation as a result of this absenteeism absen-teeism due to illness is about 27 billion dollars annually.

Testimony before the House postoffice committee on the proposed pro-posed postal rate Increases said they were "punitive" and would cause deficits.

They elalraed the proposed increase of second elan rates woald cost their companies) com-panies) more than twice the atnoant of their profits in the first year and more later on. According to old-timers here, there is every indication on Capital hill that despite the excellence at the work and recommendation cf the Hoover commission, tt will not be adopted by congress. Instead there ss every likelihood that con gress will give the president author lty to make his own anggestkns tec betterment of the government agencies.
