It was called "A Fable" and went like this: ; "In our friendly neighbor city of St.. Augustine great flocks of seagulls are starving amid plenty. Fishing Fish-ing is still good, but the gulls don't know how to fish. For venerations they have depended on the shrimp fleets to (toss them scraps from the nets. Now the fleet has moved to Key West. "The shrimpers had created a Welfare State for the St. Augustine seagulls. The big birds never bothered to learn how to fish for themselves and (they never taught their children to fish. Instead they led their little ones to the shrimp nets. "Now, the seagulls, the fine, free birds that almost symbolize liberty itself, are starving to death because they gave in to the 'something-f or nothing' lure ! They sacrificed their' independence for a handout. "A lot of people are like that. too. They see nothing wrong in picking delectable scraps from the tax nets of the United States Government' 'shrimp fleet.' "But what will happen when the government run's out of oods What about our children of generations to come ? "Let's not be gullible gulls. We Americans must reserve re-serve our talents of self-sufficency, our genius for creating creat-ing things for ourselves, our sense of thrift and our true love of independence." For a fable, we submit, this piece has both fact and logic. In fact, old Aesop would have been proud of its authorship. POLITICAL VACUUM "Political vacuum," that's what ithe practical politicians politic-ians have been calling Orem. The brand probably stems from the fact that Orem has had less than its share of candidates elected to county and state offices. For 15. years no county official has been elected from Orem! We think something should be done about it, and we list, herewith Orem candidates seeking county and statte offices in the coming election. They're your friends and neighbors. We list them for your consideration: considera-tion: Allan D. Johnson for state representative; LeGrand Jarman for state representative; Edna Durham for state representative; E. H. Johnson for county clerk; Leonard Beckman for county surveyor and Lyle McDonald, Mc-Donald, county commissioner, four year term. CODE OF HEALTH It is refreshing to learn that at long last Orem City is to have a health ordinance and the leigal right to clean up some of the city's sore spots. (Passage of the ordinance ordin-ance is expected within the next ten days.) For a long time Orem has (tolerated some conditions which health officials and members of the Orem Public Health Advisory council would like to abate. Most of us have come to accept the fact that cafes, grocery stores and food markets can profitably be inspected regularly. We all agree that food handlers should have some standards of cleanliness set down. There can hardly hard-ly be a question about the desirability of regulations on the care and location of outdoor privvies. Quarrantine laws have become a protection which most of us insist on. . To date the city of Orem has had no provision for health regulation or inspection; no statutes which m-sist m-sist on adequate health standards. From here on out there can be supervision and control, con-trol, and Orem can take steps to clean up the sore spots.

"K would appear as though our election laws were written to eliminate a man of ordinary means. These laws are such that a candidate is thrown entirely on his own for nine months out of an 11 month campaign.
