We quote it in part: "Salt Lake city and county engineers stood back Tuesday Tues-day and proudly eyed the completion of an arduous four-month four-month task construction of a dike connecting Antelope Island in Great Salt Lake with the mainland. . . Cooperating Cooper-ating in construction of the dike have been the city, county, Salt Lake mosquito abatement board, and the Island Livestock Corp. . . .Construction of the dike was conceived after fears arose last spring that raw sewage dumped into the lake by the city would find its way to bathing beaches on the south shore." The object lesson is obvious: Some people care what happens to lake resources and do something about it. The reminder: Restoration of Utah Lake depends upon legislation by the State Legislature enabling the county to levy taxes for cleaning the lake up. We trust steps are bein& taken to get the Legislature's blessing1 when it convenes this month. o.l T m j(D)E(j Karma Swindel and daughter daugh-ter Barbara from Farmington, Utah, enjoyed Christmas at the home of their father, Raymond Partridge. NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY, was a momentous year for the United Nationsa year of crave crisis climaxed by U.N. action to restore the peace in Korea. Confronted by the Invasion of the Korean Republic, the Security Council promptly called for collective col-lective action to halt the armed attack. For the first time in history armed forces of various nations took the field under the blue-and-white banner of the United Nations in a joint effort to support the Security Council, halt aggression and reestablish peace. The year saw the adoption of vital measures meas-ures to increase the effectiveness of U.N. as, an instrument for maintaining; peace. The General Assembly was authorized to act in emergency should the Security Council fail to act. Member nations were called upon to earmark units of their Own national forces for U.N. service. Meantime, a fresh call was made to the Big Five to make further efforts to resolve outstanding differences by meeting meet-ing and discussing major problems threatening threaten-ing world peace. Despite its preoccupation with the major issues of the "cold war," the United Nations in 1950 stepped up the pace of its concerted drive against poverty, disease, banger and illiteracy through its expanded program of Technical Assistance. Fifty-four countries, large and small, Members and non-members) of U.N, pledged more than $20,000,000 for an international program to help the underdeveloped under-developed regions of the world help themselves them-selves to improve their standards of living. Round the world, UN.'s family of special? ., lied agencies was working for improvements in such vital spheres as health, labor, food, , education. Displaced persons and refugees were given a new start in life; the onslaughts of disease particularly tuberculosis, malaria, . yaws, were being checked by international campaigns. World control of narcotics was tightened; measures to suppress the traffio in persons were strengthened in a new Convention; Con-vention; the campaign in defense of human rights and against discrimination consistently extended. As the world organization entered its sixth year despite the strains and perils of our time there was no doubt that the United Nations had established itself firmly as the hope of the peoples of the world.

Of course my readers will be disappointed disappoint-ed to read about this crude fellow fell-ow and make his acquaintance in this column when I know they would much rather talk a- bout resolutions the ones they mean to keep and rarely do. It has been said that "know ledge is power". In the event that this is the case, the sooner we get acquainted with the evil one and his underhanded ways, the better. I read an old fable recently that told of how the devil once thought of going out of busin ess and held a big auction sale to Louise Reynolds Wins Poem Award Melvin J.

The tall, bleak trees became a mass of white, glistening, sparkling in the pale moonlight. Next morning when we rose at seven. the wide, white world looked just like heaven. A transformed world of w mders lay, in which we yearned to romp and play. Tall ghostly spectres stood where we had thought the fence posts ought to be Piled upon the window sills, were vast amounts of flakes so still. Red leaves were skating low, over and over the frozen snow. Chrystal pillars of glistening ice, bung from the eaves like daggers rare. Frozen domes and rocky spires appeared, while all the houses wore a beard. A white realm of peace was found, in this troubled world where hate abounds. GABBT IS GOOD . . .

Orem Enrollment in U.S. Colleges Shows Big Drop in 1950 CINCINNATI, O.-Dr. Raymond Walters, president of the University of Cincinnati, and nationally known statistician of higher education, re ported that nearly 75 per cent of 492 approved American colleges and universities reported decreases in enrollment in 1950. Nearly 58 per cent recorded considerably smaller freshman classes. This fall's drop continues a downward down-ward trend begun last year from the postwar peak. Dr. Walters attributed the decline to the .departure from the campus last June of the large 1950 graduating -classes, rnajor proportion of whom were veterans of World War II. and also to ,the small freshman classes, duninshed in consequence of the low birthrate birth-rate of the 1930s. Total full-time attendances at the five largest state universities reporting report-ing were: University of California, 36,989; University of Illinois, 23,500; University of Minnesota, 22,000; Ohio State University, 20,500 and University of Michigan, 19,000. The five largest universities under private control reporting in today's study show these estimated esti-mated full-time totals: Columbia University, 22,050; University of Southern California, 20,153, with more than 50 per cent veterans; New York University, 20,000; Boston Bos-ton University, 11,200, and University Univer-sity of Pittsburgh, 10,067. Other representative universities under private control report these estimated full-time totals: Harvard University, 5,000; University of Chicago, 6,750; Johns Hopkins University, Uni-versity, 2,400; University of Detroit, De-troit, 8,720; Cornell University, 9,600; University of Pennsylvania, 9,850, and Vanderbilt University, 3,175. Among municipal institutions reporting re-porting estimated full-time totals are: Colleges of the City of New York, 26,376; University of Cincinnati, Cincin-nati, 6,162; University of Louisville, 3,224; University of Toledo, 2,840; University of Wichita, 2,500, and University of Akron, 2,020. Methodist Pastor Recoups Losses in Traffic Arrest MADISON, Tenn. The Rev. James H. Elder recently recouped re-couped some losses In a traffic arrest. Miss Alice Ann Baker asked Dr. Elder to conduct her marriage mar-riage ceremony and he In turn asked to meet the bridegroom. That proved a little embarrassing embarrass-ing because the young man turned out to be state highway patrolman Walter Toone, who only two days earlier had arrested ar-rested Dr. Elder for speeding. Dr. Elder told him: "I am searching for the longest and most agonizing ritual In the Methodist church. Of course, I'll ask a long list of questions, but will break In before you can answer an-swer any of them. "The fee? It'll be $14.95 plus costs. And if you are ever brought before me again, I'll double it." Yugoslav Magazine Jibe Brands Soviet 'Snowwhite' BELGRADE, Yugoslavia Snow-white Snow-white is poking fun at Russia these days in the Yugoslav humorist publication pub-lication Jez. In one, Snowwhite encountered seven dwarfs. The dwarfs took her home and fed her "milk and honey, shones and gasoline, heavy industry indus-try and aluminum, spy trials and other dainties". Soon says Jez, Snowwhite grew a bit plump, developed de-veloped a double chin. The dwarfs lost weight. But, according to its story, the dwarfs dwell happily, because they see only the other dwarfs and feel equal because they are of the same, reduced size. As last reported, Snowwhite was looking less like a lost and lonesome lone-some princess than a good fat stepmother. step-mother. To Jez, Russia has become its version of Snowwhite; the dwarfs are the Cominform countries coun-tries which once loved their mistress. , -. - To Shed Light on the World This Week -.
