J, Bracken Lee. That means that Alpine district schools will suffer, and that our childrtn will be denied some of the opportunities oppor-tunities they might h ve had. It is tragedy of the highest high-est order, and it must rot te permitted to continue. However, it must not be assumed that Governor Lee is stupid, and that the state legislators are weak-kneed and mistaken in their responsibilities to the people. Those men are sensitive to the feelings of voters and the failure ci .h.-l to convir.ee them of school r.eods cin te traced hack to the school people.

If that group is rnaoie to realize the desperate need for increased funds for the training of the.r children, then school administrators need not worry about a recalcitrant governor nor a luke-warm legislature. At Lincoln High school efforts are being made to secure se-cure ?nd maintain this close relationship between parents par-ents and school people. Parents Day, being held at the Lincoln campu3, is one of the institutions which points out the common roblems which parents and teachers must face. It provides an awareness for the parents of the struggles which go on in the classrooms, and of the handicaps which slim budgets produce. Parents Day, extended in scope and extended throughout through-out the state, is one avenue through which the school people may enlist Utah's strongest voting body in a crusade which must continue the crusade to keep Utah's school standards the highest in the nation.

GRAND VIEW VINEYARD Conducted by Malicent Wells Vineyard residents are invited Jo e&ll C8S3 Jl with persona items and oth er news. Mr. WU 1 The Senator Reports To The People Senator Arthur V. Watkins f I - War, war and war is the record rec-ord ol the Democratic administrations adminis-trations since 1917. This is not a political observation, observ-ation, it is an assertion of fact. Why have these wars occurred? occur-red? I am not prepared to state any one reason, but I have a feeling deep inside that United States foreign policy was a major maj-or contributing factor, at least in World War II and Korea. Where do we stand today with r:spect to our foreign policy? We are preparing to defend ine tree world and ourselves, too. There are no differences in cur objective everyone, at least every morally responsible person, wants to see world peace preserved. The method of achieving ach-ieving our objective, however, is the center of the "great debate', de-bate', and the differences which exist within and between - the two American political parties- On the question of manpower and the position of the free world to defend itself, I should like to offer some statistics compiled com-piled and released by the Foreign For-eign Relations Committee of the Senate headed by Chairman Connally, (D-Texas): Nine western European nations nat-ions have a total population of 173 million with 2,103,000 in their armed forces. The United States, with a population of 152 r 'lion, has 2,300,000 men und- " arms and with an immediate goal of 3,500,000. On a ratio basis, here is how the manpower contribution looks: For each 1,000 American 15 are in the armed forces; Lux-enburg, Lux-enburg, five out of every 1,000; Danes and Italians, seven out of 1,000; Norwegians and Portuguese, Portu-guese, eight out of 1,000; Hollanders, Holl-anders, 11 out of 1,000; Belgians, 12 out of 1000; Englishmen, 14 out of 1,000; and France, 17 out of 1000. The average for the 12 nations of Europe is 12 men out of each 1,000 population. . In addition, we now propose the drafting of 18-year-olds. What do the Europeans do on this phase of the problem? We propose to draft 18-year-old for ?4 to 26 months of service. Bel-t Bel-t um gives compulsory military service for 12 months, as do Denmark, Luxenburg, Nether-elands, Nether-elands, Norway. France trains "-r young men for 18 months 1oes Portugal. Great Britain recently extended such ser vice to 24 months. Therefore, if Europe contributed contrib-uted manpower to its armed forces on the same ratio which the United States has reached, the forces of Europe would total tot-al 2,595,000 or 400,000 more than presently used. This would more than make up the differ-enial differ-enial which the United States i enial which the United States is supposed to do with 100,000 troops. Now, let's look at the economic econom-ic side of the picture: Gross national nat-ional income of the Soviet block totaled 112 billion dollars for 1950. For the western powers the total was 430 billion dollars. doll-ars. The Soviet and its satellites produced 33 million metric tons of steel in 1950, the western powers 142 million tons. Soviet bloc crude oil production totaled total-ed 46 million metric tons, west era powers 459. Everyone is well aware of A-nierican A-nierican foreign aid for the past iew years, but what of 1951. What is our effort compared to the effort of Europe. In 1951, the total military expenditures for the nine European countries Will be $7,919 millions. The United Un-ited States will spend six times that much or $48,473 millions. To express it another way, the United States will spend 15 7 of its national product for military purposes, while Europe will con tribute only eight percent of its national product for military purposes. It seems to me that Europe has a long way to go to equal our military effort, and if Europe Eur-ope raises its contribution to only a major share of our effort, United States aid would not be 40 imperative. We can supply equipment and munitions and use our manpower to preserve the world's greatest industrial empire in all history. Without America's arsenal of democracy, which demands skilled and adequate ade-quate manpower, the free world cannot withstand Communism regardless of the size of our armed forces.

This 'N That Ethyl Nitls-n Half I MUST WRITE THAT NOTE OF SYMPATHY Hi Folks, I keep telling myse.f that I must write that note of sympathy sym-pathy . . . There are so many cl se friends passing to the land cf eternity and opportunity be-ver.d, be-ver.d, that I'll just use this column col-umn to reach their loved ones. I; is a verv consoling thought that when f pass on I'll meet so manv friends and loved ones i- will be a grand reunion, with much reminiscing. Mv cousin has lost her mother and no matter what I say or do it will not lessen the sting of death and the terrible lonliness that will linger in the days to come. The thought often occurs to me: Death is so final there's r.o turning back. I ask myself if I would change things if I could, but as yet I haven't the answer for I believe that there is a wiser intelligence guiding us than that of mere mortals. But back to the letter I must write. I will pass it on to my readers: My Dear Cousin, This IsUle note is an attempt cn my part to express to you ;oy sympathy at the passing of your dear mother. It seems, as you have heard me say before, that no matter what the circumstances circum-stances are we are never quite prepared for the passing cf a loved one. It is well lor us to attempt to reconcile ourseives with the knowledge that all of us must go on at some time. When people live a long life and the body becomes be-comes infirm, the hand of death is really a gentie hand if it can relieve them of their suffering and lead them into new and better bet-ter existence that is free from the infirmities of this world, and where the spirit and the intelligence become rejuvenated and go on to greater and happier happi-er growth. I am sure if your mother could express herself to you now she would tell you that in her reunion with your father and with her other loved ones, she is happy. She perhaps could tell you that a new world of opportunity op-portunity for growth and happiness happi-ness has opened before her and that she is finding joy and pleasure in her new home. Again all my sympathy and all my love. Sincerely, Ethyl In the event I shall see my cousin, I will tell her that I said a little prayer for her daily, for she loved her remarkable moth er dearly. I will also tell her what I told her mother many times in the year when we were so close. I would say, Aunt Jenny, Jen-ny, I wish that I might grow 'to be the truly fine person you are. Some people grow hard and bitter bit-ter with the passing years, but jou have mellowed and I am a much better person for having known you. But it is so hard to put into words what is in the heart and mind, especially lofty words of great admiration, love and sympathy. EDGEMONT Conducted by .
