A DOLLAR 5 - ! Utah county's fruit industry which needs a good i rop 'and a good market to be profitable, and hasn't had 'them both since the war needs to do some soul searching search-ing if it is to survive- That wa the consensus of opinion at Senator Watkins' legislative clinic at the Orem city juill Tuesday. I It seems that a number of factors (in addition to the nphids, blight and frost) are conspiring to make the Joing tough fr the fruit growers. I skyrocketing freight rates are making it almost impossible im-possible for Utah fruit to reach eastern or western mar-lets mar-lets and sell at competitive prices. European markets, which used to absorb millions of bushels of American fruit, are lost victims of the dollar shortage- As a result, re-sult, eastern growers who formerly shipped abroad, are ow unloading their fruit on eastern markets. I Support programs which have come to the rescue of tobacco, wheat, cotton, potato, eg and butter producers, are unlikely to succor the fruit growers, according to (Senator Watkins. It is impossible to store petches, and difficult and expensive to store any fruit ; and storage -provides the the basis for government loans on the supported sup-ported commodities. A clue to what Utah county growers may have to do to save the fruit industry was revealed in Senator Wat-lins Wat-lins description of the ingenuity used by Senator Harry Jyrd of Virginia, owner of the world's largest apple or chard and grower of a million bushels per year. With no market for his 1950 crop (despite the fact that he is near New York) Senator Byrd began the installation of processing and by-products plants, and salvaged a valuable valu-able but un-sellable crop by producing apple sauce, cider and a number of other storable and saleable apple products. prod-ucts. f Processing, canning, dehydrating, freezing, juicing these are the avenues which may return local fruit farms "to the field of money-makers. Certainly a change is necessary. nec-essary. The current $1 per bushel apple, the $1 bushel tomato and the $1.25 bushel peach should have passed along with the 35 cent haircut. Fruit can't be grown, let alone sold, at the 1951 prices- POLITICS AND YOU "Politics is the practical exercise of the art of self-government, self-government, and somebody must attend to it if we are io have self-government The principal ground of Teproach against any American citizen should be that he ;is not a politician." This wisdom from Elihu Root in 1920 was recalled the other night by Lieut. Gov. Prank C. Moore in speaking to a student audience at Troy, N- Y., on the duties of citizenship. j Mr. Moore asked the question that is troubling many of us thse days: "What is wrong with government in this country ?" One answer is that too many people lack understanding of our system of government, the political politic-al process, their powers as citizens and, we may add, their obligations. One defect is that government grows over-large because people over-depend on government. I f Many people labor under a fallacy that they have done their full duty as citizens when they vote, even though a diminishing percentage of eligibles do vote. We readily condemn "party machines" and party politics, and often rightly, but these machines are so often controlled by the wrong people only because the right people have defaulted de-faulted on the responsibilities of good citizenship that go )eyond the once-a-year visit to the polls. 1 Lieut. Gov. Moore remarks that "some people smugly refuse to enroll (in a party) because they like to be known as 'independent voters,' " and he adds that they pay far too high a price for this "dubious distinction." For they surrender the voter's power and influence in a primary to determine party leadership as well as candidates. can-didates. So, the voter who refuses to do anything but ttark his ballot on Election Day forfeits his right to complain about the candidates he finally rotes on- But it has been our observation that, regardless of his j right' to complain, he keeps on doing so, while perpetuating perpet-uating the conditions about which he protests so self-: self-: righteously and so futilely. 11 - iiat tfyotecU &ie family No matter how little the family pays for a dignified Berg runeral. they know WITH CERTAINTY that there will never be an "extra" charge 'after the ceremony!

This fact has been recognized htre and has given rise to some concern. Numerous meetings have betn held regarding the allotment of metal to the manufacturers of farm equipment and NPA is allotting al-lotting as much as it thinks nec essary for the farmer to "get by" without losing production. So the farmer, like so many others, is goins to have to make some of the old machines work for another year or two. There will be new machines and equip ment, NPA says, enough new machines for those who need them but not enough for all those who want them. NPA is looking ahead for two "days", the first when the big plant expansion prigram will be completed and there will be a decline in the demands for structural struc-tural shapes the second when the new plants get into full production pro-duction -and there will be enough material for both civilian and military needs. Here is a summary which I received recently from NPA relative rel-ative to farm equipment and sup plies: While agriculture in 1952 faces another year of heavy pro duction, it will have adequate machinery to meet most of its requirements in 1952. The total output of farm mach" ' inery in 1-51 will be about the same as in 1949. There will be a squeeze in 1592, however, be cause reductions in the labor force and good farm incomes will probably increase the de mand for fa.rm machinery. Hence, gricultural machinery manufacture in the first of 1952 will be about 80 percent of the 1949-1930 level. In January 1951 there were 2,350,000 motor trucks on farms, an increase of 125 percent since 1940 and 60 percent since 1945. The supply ofefertilizer should be reasonably ample, but it will not be until 1955 that a substantial substan-tial increase in nitrogen fertilizer fertil-izer can be expected. There will be some curtailment in the sup ply of super phosphates; a record rec-ord supply of potash is available. avail-able. The supply of building materials mater-ials will be short. Supplies of baling wire, baler and binder twine, burlap and cotton bags will be adequate. Essential farm needs for boxes and baskets will be met. but fruit growers are urged to conserve containers wherever United States Healthiest Large Nation in the World CHICAGO The United States Is the healhicst large nation In the world, and close to, If not ahead of, the healthiest of the small nations, An article wtjtten by Frank 3. Dickinson, Ph.D., director of the Bureau of Medical Economic Research Re-search of the A.M. A., states that "our rate of health progress, as shown by increasing life expectancy, expect-ancy, is also greater than that of the other large nations and nearly ill of the small nations. Our rapid adoption of the knowledge that medical science has gained makes, ihis possible." The extent of our medical facilities facili-ties is also a factor in this progress, the article reported. "We have the greatest number of physicians per 100.000 population of any nation in the world except Palestine, where many of the refugee refu-gee physicians do not make their living by practicing medicine," Dr. Dickinson wrote. "Althounh we have chosen to spend only four cents in every dollar dol-lar of our family budget for medical medi-cal care, we seem o use our ex-pendtiures ex-pendtiures rather well." Dr. Dickinson pointed out that although al-though in Sweden only one-fifth of all birhs are attended by physicians there is an extremely low maternal mortality rate. However, he noted that Swedish persons live longer In Minnesota than in Sweden. The former fact shows, the article concluded, 'that physiological and environmental differences are important im-portant as well as differences In medical facilities. Yet, with the cooperation co-operation of engineering and other professions, medicine has produced remarkable health progress In the United Sates."

ROBERT A. TAFT in his new book, "A Foreign Policy for Americans.' "It is important to recognize that povernmeYit control con-trol is a prepared path to a definite destination.

"This is our challenge: That the public schools give us youn;r citizens who know our 'history and our tradition and who cherish both, who understand our democratic institutions and value them beyond all other things, who are prepared to sacrifice negative freedoms for positive ones, and who understand that we cannot cut this continent con-tinent loose from the rest of the globe and disengage ourselves from the infinitely complicated problems which trouble this planet today."

"If all foods were evenly distributed, each of the more than two billion people in the world would have a little less to eat than in the five prewar years But, since food production is not evenly distributed, those who were well fed have more than ever, and those who had little, now have less than ever to eat."
