The competition competit-ion will be keen. Many of Utah's new teachers will go to the West Coast where teachers salaries are approximately approxi-mately $700 per year higher than here, yet our growing enrollments will require many new teachers as well as replacements. We congratulate the school board on their recent strategy, but there's something distasteful to us about this bidding for teachers and setting salaries at whatever what-ever the local competition happens to demand. Few things, it seems to us, are as important as good teachers. Teacher who are properly trained and who are loyal to their profession comprise the key individuals in our democratic society. Our system may stand or fall on the job our teachers do during the next decade or two. That's why it troubles us that nearly one hundred percent per-cent of the secondary school teachers in this area are required by basic economics to have a part time job to supplement their salaries. The salaries which school teachers are receiving are not a source of pride nor satisfaction sat-isfaction to our teachers. Teachers salaries do not cultivate cul-tivate the loyalties which professional people normally have for their vocation. We think it's serious, and we think more people than the Board of Education and the teachers themselves should be sweating about it. The schools are ours. They ' are designed to serve our children. Our children will be no better than our schools, and our schools will be no better than our teachers. We hope the day comes when we're willing to put first things first, and be willing also to make the sacrifices required to hurry the day. THESE THINGS I ' BELIEVE I believe that the public schools are essential to our democratic way of life. I believe that good schools are the right of every Am- ' erican boy and girL I believe, therefore, that every adult haa the obligation obliga-tion and the privilege to share in providing the best I public schools. , ( I believe that while education is the legal responsi- bility of each of the 48 states, in the long run they dis- charge their responsibility best by delegating the major - share of the control of operations to the local commun- . ities. " ' . I believe, however, that the state must retain the legal responsibility and, therefore, is obligated to see that the communities provide good schools. " I believe that the schools belong to the people, and it j - is up to them to determine the function of the schools. ; And I believe that, given the opportunity, the people 5 will determine the proper functions of their schools. 1 I believe that the institution of local boards of edu- ation has been ah excellent medium to represent the con- I sidered will of the community. ? I believe that in most places our boards of education ; have done an outstanding job of staffing our schools with people professionally competent and loyal to carry out their duties. I I beieve that our public schools, despite their scat- , tered shortcomings, are as much a symbol of progress, pride, and hope to America as anything we know, except ior uie products themselves of these schools. I believe that the programs and procedures of the schools of any American community, no matter how good they may be, must never (remain static and must be constantly reappraised to meet changing needs. I believe that the people of any community, no matter . - how good or poor their schools may be, must always remain re-main constructive in their criticisms of the schools. I believe we have cause to be pleased with the ground- swell of interest in our schools that has developed, but I hope all of you join me in the desire to encourage millions mil-lions more to reaccept their responsibilities. From an address before the fourth annual dinner of the commission, com-mission, in Denver Colorado. 1 i IF YOUR LOOKING FOR THE LATEST IN SPRAYING MACHINES INVESTIGATE THE NEW HARDE DUO FAN AIR BUST SPRAYER ASK FOR DEMONSTRATION EKINS FARM SUPPLY FARM AND ORCHARD SUPPLIERS AND FRUIT SHIPPERS BRONCO BUSTER FROM ABILENE SERVinC THIS ElJTluG AREA r Complete services at Berg Mortu ary are available, without extra charge, to those who live outside the immediate community.

The vitamins vita-mins and minerals you get this way are just one example of an everyday miracle of modern living that every .Utah family takes pretty much for granted.

That'f now one New England trailer housewife house-wife summed up her feelings about life In a mobile home. Her reasons coincided with those cited by. many of her' sister home-makers home-makers In a recently completed survey sur-vey of typical East Coast trailer park dwellers. Somewhat surprisingly, surpris-ingly, nearly 90 of tha women interviewed in-terviewed went on record with state-ments state-ments expressing a firm intention to live in mobile homes permanently. Tha women were pretty much in agreement concerning the things I they liked abnut their houses on wheels. Less Expensive "Trailer life is much less expensive, ex-pensive, especially after your coach is paid for," said one housewife. "It's an easier life, with very little housework and extremely little upkeep." up-keep." said another ("and no storm windows to bother about," added her husband.) "Trailer people are more friendly and sociable," a third woman pointed point-ed out, while a fourth contended that "A mobile home gives you freedom to move if it becomes necessary or desirable if you want, you can spend your winters in the south and your summers in the north." Many of the women polled simply summed up their mobile home likes In the phrase: "We just like trailer life." Housework in a house on wheels, say trailer wives, ceases to be a chore because it can be done so quickly. In one national survey, for example, more than 40 of tha mobile home-makers reported that their daily clean-up and pick-up routine took only 25 as much tuna as was required to keep the average apartment or house In spic and span shape. Similar findings were gleaned in the East Coast survey, in which the ladies claimed they could do their housework in one to two hours, as compared with two to four in a flat or apartment with the same number num-ber of rooms. Compact Virtues The difference, according to trailer trail-er designers, is in the compactness and si-ace-conserving virtues with which the modern home on wheels b built Thus 79 of trailer wives Interviewed in the national poll reported re-ported that their kitchens were more efficiently laid out than are those to a typical house or apartment The designers have referred to this Ingenious trailer space trick as "making feet out of inches." "Dimensions," they say, "do not determine livability; it's how tha space is used that counts." In a trailer home, every Inch of , space is uaed to the best possible i advantage. Unlike most houses and I apartments, the space in' a wheeled home is not wasted. Ordinarily unused un-used wall areas, for instance, become be-come built-in cabinets or closets. A dressing table bench does double-duty double-duty as a clothes hamper. One chair may convert into a table capable of seating six people; another may pen up Into a spare bed. Trailer wives' fondness for their rolling homes Is not born of necessity, neces-sity, from any Inability to afford standard housing. According to the surveys, annual income for a typical typi-cal mobile home owner Is over St,-000. St,-000. That's well above the national average of $3313. How big is a trailer home? Well, the average East Coast trailerite polled owns a three-room, 30-foot coach. Approximately 43 of those Interviewed own television sets. Many have phones, and virtually all have radios. Typical family size is three or less; children tend to be of preschool pre-school age; and the average family food bill runs to about $29 a week ARTHRITIS?
