Editor and Publisher (Entered aa second elass matter Norember IS. 1944 at the postofflce at Orem. Utah, under the act of March 3, 1897. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, in advance $3 00 A STARTING POINT Perhaps the Russians should be told that : The United States now has enough improved atomic weapons to immobilize Russia; The United States can deliver these weapons in sufficient suffic-ient quantity to kill or maim, in the first raids, a staggering stag-gering proportion of the people of Russia's key cities ; The targets have been selected, our planes are ready, our crews trained and capable ; This terrible retaliation will come if Russia attacks us or another free nation. The suggestions are those of William Bradford Huie in January's Reader's Digest where he advocates such a program for the preserving of peace. Perhaps Mr. Huie's strategy is sound and will turn the Russians from their war-like spirit, but we do not think so. If the history books have taught us anything, they've taught us that force never served to insure peace. Instead, In-stead, force induces fear and hate, and the greater the force the greater that fear and hate. And from that hate grows, immutably, the determination to overcome force. , We're still idealistic enough to prefer another starting point: igood will. Perhaps it isn't too late to communicate with the people of Russia, to share with them some of the good things we enjoy our resources, our ideas, our spirit, our hopes. Maybe we can get them to know us and to respect us, while we try to understand the zeal and loyalty loyal-ty which they seem to have for their system. Let's use our resources, not to frighten the Russians, but rather to communicate with them. In a nation where public relations has become a science as well as an art, is it too much to ask that the same frantic efforts which are used to perfect the Bomb be made to penetrate the iron curtain with a message of good will ? Perhaps the message of St. Luke which we have read and heard this past week would be better understood if it were transposed slightly to read: "Good Will to All Men, and (then) Peace on Earth.'1 NEW DRIVER. FRESH TEAM This 'N That Ethyl Nielsen Hair mraimimuiiitimtmriiniiiiiiminwiraiiiiiiiiiiHiuiiraiimiiiiiiiliiiiiimi Well folks, just think how you would feel if you had to write a New Year's column after af-ter the rush of the Christmas season with its gay parties, with its friendly visits and good wishes and with all the joy of the association of loved ones. Beau tiful, but strenuous and very tiring. So I am all in, too tired to write a column and I won der what I am going to do. Fin ally I decide to try out this Christmas friendliness and get someone to help out for the New Year column. I look around and decide my boss is just the guy to hit up for a contribution to the column because he has been going around ever since Christ mas Day with a sort of pleased and happy look on his face. I guess it is because his children and grandchildren were all home for Christmas and he is still en joying the visit. So I broached the subject of the column and all he said was "I gotta poem." And here it is: NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS by J. A. Owens You can bet your royal tootin' That I'll be resolutin' About my best behavior For the brand New Year. There will be no reckless drivin' 'Cause I want to be survivin' When another New Year Succeeds in reaching here.
