AIR POLLUTION IS NO LONGER JUST A BIG-CITY PROBLEM In these days of bigger and better taxes, when only the oldest residents can remember the "baker's dozen and the wav they used to heap their home-made product into the paper bucket at the ice-cream parlor, so high the top wouldn't close ... in these days when motorists are scared of the horses instead of vice versa,' and when, if you can find a place to park on a public street, there's a parking meter to feed . . . philosophic types are prone to remark that at least the air is free. But, while we are continually conscious of the fact that as a nation we have more of everything than anybody, any-body, we are also reminded that the air isn't nearly as free as it was when we had less. The very progress that has entailed widespread industrialization of the whole ourfvjr, and has put nearly sixty million motor vehicles on our streets and highways, has actually taken a heavy toll of the very air we breathe. Air pollution is no longer just a big-city problem, for years now, industry has been slopping over into smaller smal-ler cities, towns and villages, and more and more factories are moving from congested centers under the spur of the Defense Department's decentralization policy. Experts in the air purification business tell us that the residents of an industrial area have as much as 220 tons of tar, acid materials and soot falling on' them per square mile per month. In the "cleaner areas," they say, , it's only about 129 tons ! If all this dust and grime that enters the average domicile each month were concentrated concentrat-ed into an hour or' two, it "would represent a black blizzard bliz-zard that would drive people from their homes." And what this "black blizzard" is doing to the nation's health, especially its lungs, is of utmost concern to our doctors and medical researchers at this moment. But, here again, the very progress that is the parent of this condition, provides an escape . . . whenever we are ready to accept home air conditioners on the same basis as automobiles, refrigerators, radio and TV sets. And judging by statistics, we are about ready. Manufacturers Manufac-turers report that production and sales have risen from almost nothing in the post war years to several hundreds of thousands at present. For,. those who must live in the black blizzard, or even in the grey blizzard, for that matter, home air conditioning condition-ing is no longer a luxury. 1 YOU DOIN' I OFFICER.

CLOTHES IN YOURSELF AND SAVE tory," UAW President Walter Reuther told a capacity audience at the National Press Club in Washing'ton the other day, "we have the tools to create abun-dance abun-dance to shift from a philosophy of economic scarcity." But he doesn't expect it to hap pen right away not until the unions convert management to the wisdom of the guaranteed annual an-nual wage. As matters stand, he says, industry is "afraid to pioneer" pio-neer" and is "making an Ideological Ideologi-cal war of GAW, when it's a practical problem." As a result he expects "more unemployment at the end of 1955 than at the beginning." GAW, Mr. Reuther Insists, will sustain purchasing power , and he infers may even balance the budget, since GAW is needed to balance the economy, and it's pretty silly to think about balancing bal-ancing the budget before you bal ance the economy. A guaranteed annual wage for every American, he thinks, will solve practically everything. We suspect, however, that the millenium of abundance for all may require a couple of other guarantees. If we add -to GAW some more initial's, such GAO (guaranteed annual orders for peak production of all industry), Utah Guardsmen Await Nationwide Alert Test Forty-one hundred Utah National Na-tional Guardsmen, whose forerunners forerun-ners fought at Lexington and Con cord, this week prepared themselves them-selves for the nationwide "Operation "Oper-ation Minute Man" test "Combat" "Com-bat" alert. The Utah Guardsmen are scheduled sched-uled "mobilized" for several hours duration some time soon. The Utahns will be called to their armories in 25 Utah communities on a signal from the Pentagon to the 48 states, Hawaii, Alaska, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. ' Plans are to call the nation's 398,000 National Guardsmen In 2400 communities simultaneously during the test "attack." The time required to have the units fully mobilized will be recorded for ail evaluation of the nation's pre paredness for an enemy attack. Dear Editor: I observe in the Deseret News, March 31, that on April 26 the Alpine Al-pine School District will hold a bond election to pass a new bond issue of $2,950,000.00 which the directors say is essential to provide pro-vide new school buildings for present and future growth. The Salt Lake Tribune on March 29 published the following article written by myself. I think the ideas expressed in this article should be studied by all citizens of Alpine District before they vote on April 26. The interest on $2,950,000.00 is no small sum itself. Surely we can double the use of our present school buildings and equipment rather than spend such a tremen dous sum for buildings which will lie idle 18 hours a day during Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 24 hours a day on Saturday and sun-day. sun-day. A brick building depreciates two per cent a year and frame building's three per cent. Why not wear our buildings and equipment out rather than let them gradually gradual-ly decay rot, and rust while we are only partly using them? It occurs to me that it is worthwhile worth-while to insert this letter and the article into your publication as did the Tribune and Deseret News. Students Should Be rotated in Two Shifts For some time I have thought that our state and country may save considerable money, anxiety, juvenile delinquency, and other ills incident to insufficient school room for our growing population. For instance: Some of our most efficient industrial enterprises, have shift work around the clock and men thrive on.it. Three men work at the same place and do the same labor as one man does on single shift, but three times production results. Schools could be run oh the same principle. Students in our upper grades, high schools and colleges, could be rotated on two shifts a day. Instead of looking at horrifying murders, crimes, cigarette and beer advertisements on home television, tel-evision, such activity of one-half of our children in upper grades, high schools and colleges would have that relaxing time cut in half. They could see TV in the afternoon End evening one week and attend school in the morning. The next week they could attend school in the afternoon and evening even-ing and not see the horrifying murders, crimes, cigarette and beer advertisements at home tm the evening. This may cut down considerable consider-able juvenile delinquency and surely would decrease the necessity neces-sity for more expensive school buildings. Nowadays two LDS wards are using the same buildings ad equipment with great success. Don Mack Daltea A Encode Trees WEEPING BIRCH . ., 10 ft. to 12 ft. NORWAY MAPLE 10 ft. to 12 ft.

Just what this might do to thf "future of the American free economic eco-nomic system," in which Mr. Reuther Reu-ther professes "unlimited faith," we can't imagine.

Our folks weren't poor, but there wasn't enough to buy two ' wagons for Christmas. We pot one between us. Dad made a rule that we each could have it for a week but the boy with the wagon was responsible for keep-big keep-big the kitchen wood-box filled. Seemed a bargain to Bud and me -at first But soon we discovered discov-ered it was no more fun playing alone than working alone. It wasn't long before we were sharing shar-ing the wagon in return for sharing the chores. From where I sit, you can't enjoy en-joy a privilege yourself if you're going to deny it to others. There are some folks who want the right to enjoy their favorite beverage but would deny me my right to an occasional glass of beer. I doubt if such people get their full "share" of happiness, though.
