GILLMAN FOR GOVERNOR Now comes the report that our own Mayor J. W. Gill-r. Gill-r. n is being urged to become a candidate for the gover-r. gover-r. :r of Utah in the next election 1952. It's early to announce candidacy, but not too early to c: t our editorial ballot for a man who could give the te of Utah the administration it has been needing, j at the same time round out a lifetime of service to t' i public. It's time a Utah governor was elected from Utah canty we've never had one and it is time Mayor C Uman received the recognition which his talent for ministration and his heart for public service have c .Tied. It takes all the adjectives to describe Mayor Gillman: churchman, county commissioner, dirt farmer, fruit C ower, water reclamation expert, state welfare director, direc-tor, national farm credit administrator and -.te.ller.-of, t'es. He has worn every title with distinction and with advantage to the people. A look at the record will show that Mayor Gillman is r.o spendthrift. Neither is he a pinchpenney. He be-1' be-1' ves that the future must be served, and that it takes v..3ion and the investment of money to serve that fut-u:-e.

This 'N That Ethyl Nielsen Hair Grow Young With Me Jli Folks, The most popular person I know is in her seventies . . , she is gracious, intelligent and chuck full of the fun of fine liv ing. She has more friends than any person I know. To spend an hour with her is a spiritual feast . . . and the soul and mind does become hungry and has need for nourishment. There are other oth-er reasons why Mrs. Violet Aird is the most popular person I know .... Her whole attitude says: grow young with me. She has a spiritual spir-itual and physical buoyancy that defies age. She can and does laugh, and the whole world laughs with her. It is her philosophy philos-ophy '"Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone," such a sweet .nd easy way to be popular, and to find great happiness. My daughters would much rather spend an evening with Mrs. Aird than take in the pest movie or concert. My girls love to dance; Ive heard them say they would rather dance than eat yet they would much rather rath-er spend an hour with this charming, lovely lady than do anything else in the world. I often wonder, wnen talking to Mrs. Aird if she was born with a golden disposition or acquired ac-quired it from reverses that beset be-set her along life's highway. Nevertheless, any gal who wishes for happiness and popularity popul-arity would do well to take a leaf out of her book for what lady (be she ever so plain, or beautiful) doesn't crave to be the most popular person on the block . . . ? If I had one suggestion to make it would be to employ Mrs. Aird to teach a class "How to be Charming and Popular," and how to find great happiness. happi-ness.

This week's report, then, will be comments on activities of Utah people in the nation's capital. cap-ital. Utah men and women have and continue to compile an enviable en-viable record in government service. Commissioner Knudsen Versatile A native Utah son today probably prob-ably is one of the busiest men in Washington. He is James K. Knudson of Brigham City, who less than a year ago was named a member of the Interstate Commerce Com-merce Commission, In, addition to his duties as ICC commissioner, Mr. Knudson has been saddled with the tremendous tre-mendous task of directing the Office of Defense Transportat ion. His accomplishments in bolh positions and the tenacity he exhibits in carrying out his appointed tasks are well-known to all who know him and his work. Mr. Knudson is a veratile man also. During a large dinner meeting recently in South Car olina where he was the guest speaker, the minister who was to Rive the invocation failed to arrive. ar-rive. The presiding officer, having hav-ing r'-ad Mr. Knudson's biography, bio-graphy, knew that he had had missionary experience, so Com missioner Knudson served as chaplain a well as speaker. Visitors to the capital from Utah, of course, are numerous. I a' est arrival was Mr. Allan Mecham, Executive Secretary of the Associated Goneral Contractors Contrac-tors of Utah, and Mrs. Mecham. Mr. Mecham attended a national conference of his association in the East and dropped in for a visit with me to discuss prob lems peculiar to the construc tion industry. While Mr. Mec ham was in Washington, he was admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court on motion of President Ernest L. Wilkinson of Brigham Young University. Uranium Ores Processing Other visitors included Mr. Oscar Friendly and Mr. Paul Hunt, Utah mine owners, who have been working with the De partment of Interior on a pro gram for government financial participation in costs of mine exploration ex-ploration & development work Both men seemed optomistic about the future, but admitted thai much yet needs to be none to revitalize the industry. One item of local interest con cerns the Richfield Chamber of Commerce's desire to locate a uranium ore processing plant at or near Marysvale. The Atomic Energy Commission Commis-sion at present plans to begin the processing of Marysvale ores at a new Salt Lake plant which will begin operations within a month. , A decision on the proposed Marysvale plant might depend upon the efficiency and success ful operation of the Salt Lake plant. Orem Youths Make Good Youth also finds opportunity in Washington. Without any advance ad-vance preparation, a young native na-tive of Orem recently migrated to the district in search of employment em-ployment and to complete his education. He is Kent Fielding, who, with his wife and three childrename to the capital two months ago. Mr. Fielding was successful in gaining temporary employment in the office of Senator Sen-ator Wallace F. Bennett until he could find permanent jm-ployment. jm-ployment. Kent is specializing in the historical research field. Another Orem youth making rood in the Capitol is P,i "l Bradshaw. Rawl and his i and two children came to Washington Wash-ington about two years ago. He, too, pulled up stakes at home without knowing exactly where he was going to land when he came here. He finally found his way into the Civil Service, being assigned to the department of Navy, where he is doing research re-search work as a civilian. Rawl has had lengthy experience experi-ence as a radio operator, both in, the Army and in civilian life. He has made some advances in his grading since he came and should go a long way in this field. Also well-known to Orem and Utah County people is Lorna Mecham Watkins, who had a successful teaching career in Lincoln High School and the A-merican A-merican Fork High School. She was also an instructor in shorthand short-hand at the L.D.S. Business College Col-lege in Salt Lake City. She is now one of my principal secretaries, secre-taries, in charge of clerical work in the office and is becoming noted for her efficiency. She and her 5 year-old daughter, daugh-ter, Andrea, reside at the Wat-kins Wat-kins home in Arlington, Virginia, Virgin-ia, and are an important part of our family. |
