I gut it doesn't take the Orem Chamber president, nor Greater Utah Valley, Inc. directors, to brief us on the fact that a lot of the things we are being urged to buy this Spring season are not bargains. we're just like everybody else right now in the market mar-ket for that gallon of paint, those rose bushes, or even a bucket of oranges. And it seems that the out-of -staters know it, for we're getting radio and mail order offers to buy 35 cent rose bushes, we're getting mail-order offers from "wholesalers" to buy paint at half price; and we iret tempted to buy oranges from transient peddlers every ev-ery time we drive State Street. I But once in a while we are smart enough to mix some brains with our thinking. When we buy our oranges from the transient peddler, we get oranges nothing more. When we buy them from Safeway, Park's, Esquires, or a neighborhood store we get oranges, plus. The plus is the guarantee of satisfaction, the help they give to our community in taxes, the aid they give in building our' schools, the salaries they pay our people, the contributions contribu-tions they make to the Red Cross, the Cancer fund, the. Scouts and our churches. I The same thing goes for that gallon of paint. You can ''get paint when you buy, or you can get paint plus, if you buy from one of our own dealers. And those shrubs you'll be needing next Saturday When you buy, get them from Rohbock's Sons, or from Tony's, or from Wildwood Hollow. You'll be getting more ; than first-class, fully guaranteed shrubs. You'll be get ting a bargain. HOW TO MAKE A COMMUNIST Some members of Congress who, on paper, are' most passionate anti-Cmmunists have found an extremely effective way of making Communists. It is to let 100 million people in India go hungry while Americans sit tightly and comfortably in a stored surplus of wheat Amounting to several times the famine need in that land. I Congress has had before it since February 12 a recommendation recom-mendation to (give India a needed two million tons of grain besides the roughly two million tons that nation is buying in the United States and two million tons ;it is buying elsewhere. j Meanwhile, a great deal is said in many quarters about convincing the rest of the world of the advantages of democracy and free enterprise, about "selling" capitalism cap-italism instead of communism. I In the state of Bihar in India the grain ration has been reduced below nine ounces a day and is considered less than enough to assure survival for long of those who depend on the ration alone. Relief of such conditions takes weeks even after shipment of grain is authorized, and other provinces are approaching similar distress. : In such circumstances discussion of ideoldgies becomes academic, but Communist incitement and agitation jthrive. So great an American as Senator Borah, an authority auth-ority on the United States Constitution and its importance, import-ance, said in 1934, "The people can't eat the Constitution." Constitu-tion." I The people of India cannot satisfyingly fill their stomachs stom-achs with preachments on freedom and opportunity if they have not the opportunity to eat. It rests with the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives to put on the legislative calendar a bill which would give them a little nourishing evidence of the free world's efficiency .and its interest in their fate.

The picture is taking shape in the formation" of national policy for the drafting of men for military service. I firmly believe that my vote against the .proposal to defer de-fer college men from service will be recognized for its worth in the not too distant future. The defense of our native land is a duty which falls upon the shoulders of every American. This duty does not rest primarily on the shoulders of those, who, because of means, cannot take advantage of a college educations, it aoes not rest primarily upon the shoulders should-ers of the college students who do not measure up in their grades. Regardless of birthright, birth-right, a person's station in life, the amount of money he has to pursue an education and the marks he gets in achieving an education, his life is just as dear to him and to his loved ones as is the life of the "special privileged" priv-ileged" few. Service to one's country is a duty conferred on all, not on the shoulders of some who because of economic status cannot afford to go to college. On April 4 Selective Service officials announced the automatic automat-ic draft deferment of high school sch-ool seniors who intend to enter college next year. In my opinion, this is special privilege. This ruling means that if your son does not want to go to college coll-ege becaue he has been trained for one of the trades or wishes to go into business life, or if you as his parents cannot afford to send him to college, he will be drafted and will find himself crawling through the mud of Korea or some other far off land as a combat infantryman. Your son's best friend, however, how-ever, may have a father who can finance his boy's college education. educat-ion. This boy escapes military duty. This is the announced policy of an administration which makes so much ado about the unquestionable greatness of President Thomas Jefferson who in his first inaugural address on March 4, 1801, aid: "EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL, SPECIAL PRIVILEGES FOR NONE." Humaniiarianism and India The administration currently is pressing congress for millions of dollars to send wheat to the starving people of India. Most people do not realize that the present plan does not entail the free distribution of wheat to the starving people of India. It is a commercial transaction which will add a great amount of money mon-ey to the treasury of India at the expense of the American taxpayer. I The administration proposes to give the wheat to the Indian government. But the Indian government gov-ernment intends to take this free wheat and sell, not give, it to the poor and starving Indians. Tht Indian people are not only on-ly starving, they are poor. Now if we are the great humanitarians humanitar-ians that we like to believe we are, we will insist that this free wheat be distributed to these starving and Door Indian Deonle free and that America be credit-1 ?w?v'v ed with this great .humanitarian and Christian effort. America's aid in the form of wheat cer-l tainly will not appear to the people of India as a great humanitarian hum-anitarian contribution based on the principles of Christian charity char-ity if they are going to have to buy it from the Indian governments. govern-ments. The sole beneficiary of such a transaction will be the treasury of the Indian Government, Govern-ment, not the poor starving On-dians.

This Ethyl Nitlsen Hall LET ME REMIND YOU IT IS SPRING AND TIME FOR LOVE Hi Folks, I started this column a year ago then I was not up to writing writ-ing such a column and I wonder won-der if I am now? So it's with much apprehension that I shall attempt to finish a column that talks about spring and love. Love is the most important thing in this world because it is God given it is immortal. There are those poor soi'ls that believe love is for youth and moonlight nights for spring and mating time; yet in the true sense it is nothing of the kind. Love is as eternal as life and death, it goes beyond the grave. Only people of great faith and courage dare to take and hold love. So many people are afraid of love because they find it in far away places or under peculiar pecu-liar circumstances or with whom they least expect to find love-The love-The thing to remember is that love is no ordinary thing and not to be treated as such. There comes a time in every person's life when they will fall in love and Just as sure there comes a time when they may fall out of love. When a person is starved for love and affection they may become ill mentally and physically physic-ally the soul shrivels, the mind depletes and the body, despite young years, becomes old and infirm. Youth is ncjt a matter of years but of living and loving. Love is the only decent honest hon-est reason for two people sharing shar-ing the years along life's high-way. high-way. Yet love is abused, oft times made a- shoddy thing because be-cause of lack of understanding and sincerity In the game of love it is well to remember: there is no love without sacrifice and love is wonderful at any age . . . when a person is in love they are vital and wholly alive they are vibrant. vib-rant. , It is spring and time to say I love you. There are so many ways to say I love you a letter, poetry, a song, a gesture .... That is as far as I got with the column Japjt year. Then I said to my bbss, J. A. Owens, I need a poem for this column and he handed me several and said, "Use them if you wish", so I am sending you love poetry for your scrap books: THE OLD, OLD STORY There isn't a thing to say my Dear, that hasn't been said before. I've told it to you a thousand times and I'll say it a thousand thou-sand more. It's just that I love you, darling one a story old yet new, There's nothing else that means so much that I could say to you. I could write a million words of reasons why I do, Yet these few words can say 't all Darling, I love you. J. A. Owens ASHES The fires of love burned brightly bright-ly In the days of long ago And joy was ours and hearts beat lightly In the world we used to know. Then something our love dampened damp-ened And the flames began to die, And the embers ceased their '.V.V.VV-.'.

We are certainly in a tragic plight if the accepted standard by which we measure the integrity of a man in public life is that he keeps within the letter of the law . . . . . what seems to be new about these scandals is the moral blindness or callousness which allows those in responsible res-ponsible positions to accept the practices which the facta reveal. It is bad enough for us to have corruption in our midst, but it is worse if it is to be condoned." Sen. WILLIAM WILL-IAM FULBRIGIIT of Arkansas on current standards of ' U. S. morality. "Southern anti-Noro bitter enders . . . persist, of course, but . . . it is shocking surely now to find Jamea F. Byrnes joining in the forefront of them along1 with Herman Talmadge. I say shocking, not because it ia Byrnes, Governor of South Carolina, but Byrnes, former Supreme Court Justice and Secretary of State .... such actions and policies are taken by many throughout the world ... as typical of the American way of life. In a very true sense, Byrnes and South Carolina, whether we ' like it or not, speak to the world for you and me." Dr. RALPH J. BUNCHE, negro professor of government at Harvard. "We shall from now on pool together our resources of arms and troops at all threatened and strategic pointa (until) we have made the Atlantic community a solid foundation of our common security and of peace." M. AURIOL, president of France, before special Senate-House Senate-House session. "The goal is to produce enough weapons to put the United Un-ited States in a strong defensive position, without wrecking wreck-ing the civilian economy. It won't do us any good to make America militarily strong and wind up with a 10-cent dollar." CHARLES E. WILSON, director of the Office of Defense Mobilization. ' "I still wonder just how cheap do these fellows think their public representatives are? The shame of it is that the responsibility rests upon the heads of certain public servants who have let (these men) come to believe that anyone can be bought, like a chattel, for a price. . . ." Sen. ESTES KEFAUVER of Tenn. "Public morals are no worse today than when the republic re-public was founded. What has happened is that we have become more vigilant, with a higher standard of expectation." ex-pectation." HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE, New York business executive, on Kefauver hearings. "I don't see why every kind of business has to be mixed mix-ed with a drink. But that's about the case when two or more people get together at anything less formal than a session of Congress or a White House ceremony .... hard liquor dulls the wits and clouds the vision . . . and official Washington must be at its best when the lives of our men are at stake and the future of the nation hangs in the balance." Sen. ROBERT S. KERR, in proposal pro-posal that cocktail parties be abolished as a Washington Washing-ton institution. "If things are left drifting in the Middle East a tragedy trag-edy will certainly take place.
