Associate Editor Entered as second class matter November 19, 1944 at the poatoffice at Orem. Utah, under the act of March 3. 1897. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association National Editorial Association Subscription Rales: One year, in adrance 3-00 DOG POISONERS AGAIN The folks over at Geneva Heights have been having gome anxious hours. Two neighborhood dogs were poisoned pois-oned last Friday they died violent, painful deaths, and the folks, along with the remorse which they feel at the loss of the friendly dogs, have had visions of one of the neighborhood children getting and eating some of the bait which was intended for the dogs. It is difficult to deal with dofe poisoners. We don't recall re-call ever hearing of one being apprehended and convicted. convict-ed. Perhaps that is the reason local officers seemed reluctant re-luctant to investigate the recent poisoning case as thoroughly thor-oughly as the folks at Geneva Heights anticipated. Little was done by way of investigation, and those involved in-volved were given little assurance that any steps would or could be taken to insure that such an incident would not happen again. The poisonirfj of dogs is a violation of the law which nust not be taken lightly by officers or by others. Ve hope that it requires no epidemic of dog poisonings or the death of a child due to poison intended for a dog, to awaken Orem people to the seriousness of this crime. DR. JOHNSON'S SPEECH It is possible that readers of the Orem-Geneva Times may be interested in the response which followed the publicaton, on Feb. 22, of a speech by Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson on America's responsibilities in dealing with communism. (The speech, as you recall, was published in its entirety on page one and four.) There has been no single day since the publication of the speech that mail has not come to this office voicing appreciation for the issue and asking for additional copies. The demand has necessitated thre additional runs of the paper. "Can you spare 100 copies" was the question asked by James L. Wray of Washington, D. C. "Will you please send us 250 copies and bill us for the same" wrote Ernest de Maio of Chicago. "To my mind perhaps the greatest speech delivered in this country since IngersolPs time," was the response cf Frank (Chopping Block) Robertson. Letters have come from both coasts, from Quebec, Canada, Can-ada, and from Santaquin and Alpine. Dr. Johnson, himself, in response to a-copy which a subscriber sent to him had this to say: That Mr. Smart was so interested as to be willing to devote an issue of his paper to it, together with his forthright personal message to his readers is all very heartwarming to me .... I hope you will discover that your interest and initiative in-itiative have done great good for the cause of peace." It is gratifying indeed to see the impact of the Orem-Geneva Orem-Geneva Times in its modest attempt to serve the cause of understanding and of peace. We hope that continued interest in these problems will characterize readers of our community paper and of Americana generally. 4 YOU CAM INSTALL IT s k w$ ?f hit) 1L3 1 VI-'.

Forum Editor Orem Geneva Times Orem, Utah I am working temporarily in the office of Senator Wallace F. Bennett. One of my jobs is to scan all of the Utah weeklies and keep the Senator abreast of happenings in the smaller cities of the state. I can frankly state that there is not another weekly, in my opinion, that even comes close to yours in style or content. con-tent. Your consistent and artful use of the editorial page is most refreshing in view of the tend ency of other papers to either ignore that opportunity or con sign it to prepared copy by out side parties. Again, in my opin ion, there is no medium which can be so useful in the mobiliz ation of public opinion, prosecution prose-cution of needed projects, re minders to public servants. It is a tonic to the municipal body-politic. body-politic. Altogether too many ed itors fail lo realize that point. I cannot say that I always agree with your point of view, but I have recognized that whatever you say is well said and carefully care-fully considered. The Senator Reports To The People -:V Senator Arthur V. Watkins f aVS. 'In this week's report I shall discuss one of the hottest subjects that has been before Congress for a long time, rnd one that will affect nearly every home in the United States For the past several weeks members of Congress have been faced with the tremendous responsibility of enacting military manpower legislation. The Sesate already has approved ap-proved a bill which would extend the present draft act; extend ex-tend the length of service; reduce the draft age, and estab lish at some future and appropriate time a system of un iversal military training and service. Difficult Decision Members of Congress have a very difficult time in making decisions on such matters. I was perturbed with several sections sec-tions of the Senate bill, which I sought to amend, although I voted in favor of the measure on final passage. My vote was a recognition of the fact that there is a great threat to our security as a nation and the extension ex-tension of the draft act was imperative. im-perative. The manpower legislation before be-fore us covers two subjects. First, to extend the draft act whwich would expire in July, and second, part of the legislation legislat-ion had for its purpose the establishing est-ablishing of universal military training. As a matter of fact, it was a universal service program more than a training program.

Kent Fielding 9642 Baltimore Ave. Berwyn, Maryland Editor, Orem-Geneva Times Please advise me how many copies I can secure and if you can send them to me free. John Davis, Director Promoting Enduring Endur-ing Peace West Haven, Conn. Editor, Orem-Geneva Times . . . Would you be good enough to send us a copy of this address .... Ray Pierce, Secretary Foundation for World Government New York 16, N.Y. Many in the Senate believed the Universal military training and service program should be handled in a separate piece of legislation. The Johnson-Bricker amendment sought to separate the two subjects, but it was de feated. The universal military training feature as passed by the Senate gives wide and import ant powers to the President and to a commission to be app ointed by him. The bill does not even set up the standards, but practically gives carte blan che power, which in a sense is almost dictatorial, to the pres ident. I voted to support the Johnson Bricker amendment, but in so voting I do not want it to be understood that I oppose univ ersal military training. On the contrary, I believe under our present critical condition that a military training program . of some kind must be undertaken as soon as our present emergen This 'N That Ethyl N!elsea Hair OH, GEE, I LIKE TO BE APPRECIATED APP-RECIATED HI Folks, This is not a sales talk but a down to earth plea for appreciation. apprec-iation. The most lovable person I know is one who appreciates her family and friends. The art of appreciation is such a little thing and does so much good that It ia hard to estimate its real value. In the home love and appreciation apprec-iation work wonders for making mak-ing the home run smoothly. A husband in this town has a whole family that adores him. The people who associate with him in the business field love and respect him. He ia not rich as rich men are counted in dollars dol-lars and cents but he is rich in friends and family who would rather be with him than anyone else in this world. Sincere appreciation is his secret it accounts for the success suc-cess he has in handling people. I heard him say to a news boy. "Atta boy sonny! Johnny on the spot . . . you'll go places when you grow up" . . . Most of us give the paper boy hail Columbia if he doesn't bring the paper on time but we forget to praise him when he does. It is as natural for this man to say fine, fineI like the way you do this and this but shall we change it just to see how it goes .... I was having lunch with a young man who is rising fast in the business world. He is not brilliant nor does he know his job especially well, but he has had two important promotions promot-ions lately. I was interested. 'Sheer luck, sheer luck," he said then he devoted his time to making everyone feel that they were doing him a favor by having lunch with him. I like to appreciate my child ren and grandchildren, iney respond in a way that is gratifying. gratify-ing. In return, they pamper me and appreciate me and spoil me. appreciate my neighbors. No one has been sweeter to me than Mrs. Elmer Lee and her three lovely daughters-in-law. I would do anything for them to make their life happier and easier. They have the rare quality of great appreciation because they make me feel loved and necessary necess-ary I have been very fortunaie in having wonderful bosses. I shall mention them because you'll know what I'm talking about. for each one in his particular way knows more about the art of appreciation than meets the eye. I remember when working for Fern Larsen how she striv-ed striv-ed to build confidence into my mind and soul at that time in my life when I was so beaten down that I wasn't a good worm. Thanks. Fern . . . You're pretty wonderful yourself. I remember working for Earl Oss ... his understanding and sincerity was something unforgetable. Thanks Earl. I remember the boners I pull ed from sheer stupidity when working for my former boss, J. A. Owens, but not once was I criticized. He endeavored to build the structure of my ego. It's too late to say thanks, J. A. he is gone. I remember the patience f. K. Nielson had in teaching me to v.-ite a column. What beautiful patience. Time and time again I became discouraged and would send a manuscript in to have h.'m gently tell me what was vrong with it and I'd try again. Once I wrote a manuscript nine times before it was published. Thanks, P. K. The two bosses I-now have are masters at the art of appreciation, apprec-iation, Neff Smart, the Orem-Geneva Orem-Geneva Times editor and LeRoy Johnson here at the office. So . . . . . roses to my bosses, j Oh, Gee, I like to be appreciated apprec-iated . . . Don't we all? cy will release enough officers and men to take care of the training program. Such policy hould never be left to a President Presid-ent and a commission of men, who no doubt would be under the domination of the military. Other Ways to Train There are many ways a universal univ-ersal military training program could be carried out. For a long time, at least, our schools and colleges could be used to train our youth along with their reg ular civilian education. I voted for the bill as much as I disliked dislik-ed some of its features, because I recognized the nation's imm ediate manpower problem. Many Hardship Letters I received literally hundreds of letters each week from the wives and parents of reserves who have been called back int active service. These writers all point to the hardships created by such recalls to active duty. No one, apparently, seems to realize that the administration's military training and service propoal as adopted by the Sen ate would require a total of eight years in training in reserve duty. For eight years, men drafted into the military program pro-gram must consider their private pri-vate lives secondary to their To Shed Light on the THESE MEN HAD THIS TO SAY: "Couples prosper who have the greatest degree of similarity in almost every, possible way; race, religion," culture, education, family background, ideals and even habits of daily life." PAUL POPENOE, head of instit-lit instit-lit nf familv relations. Los Angeles, at San Francisco "We must reach out and touch the hearts of people f in other governments. This is our only really effective I weapon. Just as we- have found that we cannot buy friendship with food and other material supplies, neither nan we obtain freedom with the sword .... We must live the principles of democracy ourselves, and then go out and sell these to the men and women of the world who are enslaved." MARGUERITE S. CHURCH, Con-gresswoman Con-gresswoman from Illinois before Alliance of Business and Professional Women in Chicago. "There has been no firm offer of food from Russia. If there is a clear and firm offer we are likely to take advantage of it. We cannot allow people to starve ..." Prime Minister NEHRU of India at news conference. "My next wife will be a wise, mature womansome, one like Ava Gardner or Paulette Goddard." TOMMY MANVTLLE. "I've seen a lot if refugees in my time, but I've never seen any more completely destitute and pitiful than the 3,500,000 homeless in Korea." J. DONALD KINGLEY, UN agent-general ior Korean reconstruction. "Crude oil stocks above the ground are low, comsumpt-ion comsumpt-ion is increasing, the defense drive entails a further sharp demand for oil and gasoline . . . that indicates how important it is to have a tax law which makes it possible poss-ible for the oil man to continue taking the risks which he must take if he is to find that oil." RUSSELL B. BROWN, spokesman for the Independent Petroleum association of America. "Mike is very good at figuring things out. If there is a way to figure it out, he will find it. But he can't do it alone. Labor has got to stop yapping for more monev. Business has got to stop being Igreedy. Farmers have got to stop expecting higher and higher farm' prices. Everybody has got to helD on this job. That's the only way Mike can succeed." MYRTLE DISALLE, wife of Price Stabilizer Michael DiSalle. "If they (the Russians) dechre war now, they aie really fools." IKE EISENHOWER, before senate foreign relations and armed services committees. '"After all is said and done, it is not we who pull the strings ; we are not the masters, but the servants of our Master's will, and it is well that we should know it to be so." Federal Jud&e HAROLD R. MEDINA, who presided pre-sided over the recent trial of the 11 top-ranking U. S. communists. INo one can have been writing for newspapers, for a long time without being fully aware of how much safer it is to prophesy disaster than to venture to express a hope. It is safe to be gloomy. If one prophesies disaster and it happens, one has been a true prophet. And if it does not happen, one is readily forgiven and may even suggest that but for the warning the disaster would have happened." WALTER LIPPMAN, dean of American Amer-ican columnists.
