It's newspaper news-paper week, and a lot of fine things are said and written about the newspaper industry, about the part it is playing play-ing in keeping America informed about America and the world. Emphasis is returned to the blessing we enjoy at being able to say and write and read the things we believe should be said and written and read. And on the practical side: this week came invitations invit-ations from the Salt Lake Kiwanis club and the Provo Elks for dinner engagements at which editors are honored. hon-ored. It's not too bad .... But seriously, it might be profitable to reflect this week, all of us, that never in modern times has it been so difficult to report what is going on in so larfee a part of the world. (Never has it been so important to know what is (going on. Those of us who have assumed some responsibility for the advancement of freedom of information infor-mation urgently need and solicit the support of readers in the "battle cf the century" the battle for men's minds. Thomas Jefferson, we think, wasn't so dumb, wrote: y ' "The basis of our government being the opinion opin-ion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right. Were it left to me to decide de-cide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." He AN HONOR ROLL The United States Office of Education, the University of California School of Education, and the Council of State Governments have completed a joint study of the resources of the American states for public education and what they are doing with them. One of the tables in the 110-page survey provides an interesting roster of the states in their relative efforts to provide good schooling for their children. It computes this on the basis of what percentage of the total annual personal income in the state is spent for public school purposes. The states ranking highest in this list do not have the best schools but they are spending the greatest proportion of their living on their schools. The first one-third are these : New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Louisiana, Kansas, Wyoming, Florida, Oklahoma, West Virginia, South Carolina, Washington, North Dakota, Da-kota, and Alabama. Meanwhile, some of the states which have outstanding outstand-ing educational systems are able because of their relative relat-ive wealth to support them on very small fractions of their total income. On the bottom of the list are Connecticut, Conn-ecticut, Rhode Island, Missouri, New York, Illinois, Nebraska, Ne-braska, Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Wiscon-sin. ' This illustrates the reason why educators generally have come to favor.federal aid to education. States with relatively small financial resources and with problems of distance must tax themselves much more heavily to provide pro-vide even inferior education than do wealthy and populous popul-ous states for better equipped schools. Yet the pupils of all become citizens of one nation. Martha Pyne, Dezzie Lamb.

LMCD Don't Cheat on Unemployment Chex Administrator Warns Chances are slim to cheat on unemployment insurance, and the penalties are such that it is folly to attempt it. That is the warning issued by Curtis P. Harding, administrator of the state employment security division. div-ision. It is the conclusion of eight months of crackdown by the department's fraud investigation investig-ation unit. Mr. Harding pointed out that the benefits of unemployment insurance are for those out of work through no fault of their own, and who are ready, willing and able to accept work when it is available. It is not for those unable to work because of illness, ill-ness, it is not for those who wish to change jobs and in between be-tween have a rest, and it is not for those who only periodically seek employment or who lay off regular jobs to carry agric ultural duties, as an adjunct to their regular jobs. There are many ways to check the validity of claims, and odds are heavily against fraudulent claims going undetected unde-tected for long- Occupational surveys, industrial surveys, and checks on separation notices are just a few of the activities which turn up illegal claimants. Constantly there is a flow of tips regarding violations all unsolicited- In addition there are ways and means of checking check-ing employer-employee collusion, collus-ion, which does happen. Every employment security office in the state, according to Mr. Harding, is equipped to ad vise any claimant for unem- ployment insurance. It will willingly will-ingly explain his or her rights under the law. It will further prevent 'hardship' cases by precluding pre-cluding illegal claims. Mr. Harding Hard-ing advises all claimants to first contact their local office, be honest when filing the claim, and avoid possible fraud char ges.

Confucius Hi Folks, D'd you ever write a column for a newspaper? ... In the event ev-ent you haven't, let me tell you how it goes. Here's my typewriter and a nice clean piece of paper . . . over in the corner the record player is playing play-ing an old favorite. "Harbor Lights," the artist has caught all the nostalgia of the day gone by and I say to myself: If I were young and gay, if I had my life to live over again . . So run my thoughts and I come to the conclusion perhaps per-haps I'd do the very same things over again. But, knowing know-ing what I do now would I? Then I think in a more sensible sen-sible way. I wouldn't trade my family or my job for all the young days I lived so gloriously in the days gone by. But I would be wiser there are things that I would change if I could. I would dance my fool head off .... I would travel a great deal . . . I'd go to college . . . and I'd learn to fly a plane I'd love to look at this beautiful old earth from the clouds, from great heights Life is rich when one is contented con-tented and I am never contented unless I am going at record speed. There are those quiet souls who long for a shawl and a fireside, I envy them. It is fitting that my job takes me around a lot. I meet many people I like people, especially especial-ly the nice little people who are the salt of the earth. There Is a deep uncertainty about life, today is one thing and tomorrow another life is one challenge after another. "Harbor Lights connects two very important chapters in my life, my gay, young dancing youth and today the precious golden middle years. Perhaps if life lasts long enough. I'll go to college and learn to fly-Perhaps fly-Perhaps . . . perhaps . . as I have stated in the first paragraph, para-graph, here is my typewriter and an almost blank piece of paper and memories and the record that ' is bringing back the days gone by. . . .
