NEFF SMART, Editor and Publisher Entered as second class matter November 19, 1944 at the postoffice at Orem, Utah, under the act of March 3, 1879. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, strictly in advance $3 00 Six Months $2 80 UMBRELLAS WERE AWKWARD We had forgotten all about Jonas Hanway. But a faint childhood memory began to stir when we heard of the self-expatriated Swede Anders Clarin, who had declared himself a "world citizen" and was promptly put in a police prison in Brussels. We recalled the story, read so long ago, of Mr. Hanway, Han-way, the intrepid 18th-century British merchant who was the first man to walk the streets of London cant ing an umbrella. He was jeered at by his compatriots. He was assailed by London's hackney coachmen, who saw in the "portable rain shelter" a threat to their own trade. But. undaunted, he continued to parade his umbrella. um-brella. Since Mr. Hanway was a man of exceptional abilities and education, a world traveler, prison reformer, philanthropist, phi-lanthropist, and opponent of child labor, he certainly saw as clearly as anybody else that his umbrella was an awkward contraption. But he also saw that it was a step in the right direction. He must have been convinced that it was only a question of time until, through the combined com-bined efforts of several kindred pioneer spirits, his contraption con-traption would develop into a generally accepted institution instit-ution benefiting millions of people. We do not know whether Garry Davis, ex-American fighter pilot; Hans Wilhelm Ernst, German-born news paperman, or Mr. Clarin ever heard of Jonas Hanway. In some ways they are his descendants. They have been the first to proclaim themselves "world citizens" and to walk the streets of Paris and Brussels carrying, f igur-atively igur-atively speaking, a model of a "portable shelter for the individual's freedom." No doubt, like Mr. Hanway's umbrella, um-brella, their world citizenship is an awkward contraption that gives them more trouble than protection. But if enough people start thinking about improving the model they may have a chance for duplicating Mr. Hanway's victory. ' ' CSM THESE MEN HAD THIS TO SAY : " "This is the year to dare and do, to overcome slumping slump-ing prices, declining markets, confusing legislation, unfavorable un-favorable public attitude, plus danjgerous and growing competition. This time it's for keeps." MERRILL N. WARNICK of Pleasant Grove, president of the Utah Dairy federation, in commenting on Dairy Month, June. "The growing of canning tomatoes is one of the important im-portant farming enterprises of Utah, where average yields are 11 tons per acre, compared with a national average of six tons." E. MILTON ANDERSEN, research associate professor of vegetable crops, USAC. "Competition, individual adventure, new undertakings, undertak-ings, and new achievements, and not security, are the basis for national progress." HERBERT HOOVER at Wesleyan university. "Before we were married my doctor warned me I could never have children." MRS. CLIFFORD HARTLEY, HART-LEY, mother of 13. interviewed at New York enroute from Lancashire, England to Tridell, Utah, with 11 of the 13. "It is of vital importance that the Atlantic pact be followed by a program of military aid to increase the effective strength of the free nations agaist agression .... a slash in funds available for European recover at this time would be the worst kind of false economy." HARRY S. TRUMAN in a speech at Little Rock, Ark. ONLY THE BEST This column has had occasion in the past to urge Orem fruit growers and those who market Orem fruit at roadside road-side stands to offer only extra fancy products to the traveling trav-eling trade. If Orem fruit-stands get a reputation for "only the best" then word of the quality of Orem fruit will spread, and rapidly, to every corner of the country. Travelers and tourists can tell the story of Orem's strawberries, cherries, peaches, apples and pears just as effectively as full-page ads in magazines, and future markets for the area's choice products will depend upon the story these tourists tell. They'll tell a favorable story this year about Orem strawberries, because roadside stands offered quality berries, with most of the small and marked berries finding find-ing their way into the jam and preserve markets. We hope they'll tell a similar story about Orem's apricots and raspberries, which will soon be here; and later about our peaches, pears and apples. Orem grows the finest of fruit. Let's show it off!

Kill Grasshoppers Early Says Expert Grasshoppers are hatching throughout Utah County at a very rapid rate and some means of control should be used immediately, immed-iately, advised the County A- gent this week. Control meth ods are more effective in killing grasshoppers while they are young for two reasons, First, because be-cause the grasshoppers are concentrated con-centrated in much smaller areas and second, because the vegetation veget-ation is smalled and it is easier to get a good coverage. The State Federal and county governments are cooperating again this year, in furnishing poisin bait free of charge to the farmers. The bait station is lo cated at the fair grounds in Provo and will be open Tuesdays, Tues-days, Thursdays and Saturdays from 1 to 7 p.m. Those desiring to get bait should bring their sacks and come prepared to help mix if large quantities are needed. Grasshoppers may also be controlled successfully by dusting dust-ing or spraying with cloradane or clorinated camphene- This material is recommended highly by the U- S. Dept. of Agriculture Agricult-ure and is very effective. These chemicals are more effective if used on the hatching ground before be-fore the grasshoppers migrate and spread over the fields. It may be put out as a dust or a liquid. Farmers who have been both ered with grasshoppers in the past, should take immediate steps to control young grasshoppers grasshop-pers before they do their damage dam-age and spread widely. These chemicals can be purchased pur-chased at the local chemical and supply companies. Directions for their application will be found on the containers.

As the tax load becomes heavier, heav-ier, more money is drained away and as all wealth is predicated on production, it is self evident that we can no longer exist under un-der this tax load. That all wealth has always resulted from production in one form or another, defies success ful contradiction, and so, the more money taken from indus-l try, in the form of taxes the less that industry can produce, therefore there-fore industry has progressively less income, and less ability to pay taxes. Industry may pass the ta"xes on to the consumers, in form of higher prices, and so the consumers con-sumers purchasing power becomes be-comes less and the results in a decreasing demand for the products pro-ducts of industry, less people employed by industry, and therefore less purchasing power. Let us take the statement of Franklin D. Roosevelt, as being authentic, quote; That the limit of our permanent tax load was 75 Billion dollars, l;t us assume that the estimate was correct. We have long since passed that point and are now staggering stag-gering under the financial burden bur-den of 250 billion dollars of debt. Let us pause and examine what constitutes a billion dollars: doll-ars: A million dollars is one thousand thousand dollars and a billion dollars is one thousand million dollars- So to get a better bet-ter idea of the national debt let us say it this way the U-S-national debt is 250 thousand million dollars. .
