Show i i t Vinguvois - All the news that's lit to print from the Delta Airport By Dick Morrison Among the Sunday llyers were Daiyl Cropper who practiced stalls, spins, TO's and landings: Don Morris, who logged some general air in jr..: and Carl Baker and Tex S , .:, .hu just flew. Thr. yl boys took ad vantage of the fine air Sunday to take a little hop. They were Keith Terry, Eon Nielson and Theron Johnson. Jimmy" Thomas, Bob Meinhardt and Russell Clark made a "local" over the area, also. Aerial Horseplay The activity of just horsing horsing around is one of the most popular Amercan pasttimes, if, indeed, in-deed, its foreign equivalents are not among the best liked forms of killing time among 6"ur brothers and sisters in other lands. However, How-ever, it is safe to say that few if any people anywhere spent last Sunday horsing around in the way Fred Baker and several of his friends did. Ror one thing, Fred and company used real, genuine wild horses, and for another, Fred did his horsing in his T-craft. It was out in the Confusion Range, north of Cowboy Pass, at the point known as 58 Well. (If some maverick maver-ick reader in another state thinks these names and situations are so picturesque that they must be fictitious, I just want to drawl, pardner, that the whole story is ai accurate as a straight news report ca.i be.) Fred in his airplane, and eight or ten men on the ground actually actu-ally captured nine wild desert cayuses that day. The procedure was for Fred to spot the wild horses from the air, chase them with his plane until they were winded, and then herd them to the pre-determined spot where the ground crew could lasso them, the wild nags by that time being fagged out and easy to catch. Included with the riders on the ground were Lynn, Cluff and Dean Talbot, Blaine Theobald, Van War-nick, War-nick, Jimmy Petersen, Grant Hardy, Har-dy, Golden Cluff and a cowboy named Bishop, whose first name I didn't catch.. There may have been some others, too. I'm not sure,, not having been with them. There are people who bemoan the passing of the old west. They are a bit premature, because the old west isn't all gone, yet. Not as long as a group of our friends and acquaintances can put in a Sunday afternoon actually capturing captur-ing wild horses at a place like 58 Well, in the Confusion Mts., out north of Cowboy Pass, and with an airplane to give the whole per- Look Under the Hood It's power that counts ... not fancy trim, size of grill or length of hood.

It's Cheap To Live The airmen's advertising paper, Sell-A-Piane Iews, seems to leel that if pilots won't lly safely to stay alive, they'll do so to save money. "Live and Save," says the paper. "A live man pays 50c for a shave. It costs $5.00 to shave a dead man. A wool coat costs $40, while a wooden one runs about $400.00, and a taxi ride to the theatre costs $1.00 while a one way ride to the cemetery costs at least $10.00. When they put it that way, it makes the idea of safe flying look like a paying proposition. On the other hand, though, think of the value of free publicity flyers always get when they take one chance too many! There are two sides to every question. Books For a long time, in fact for years, I've been looking for a really authoritative , up-to-date book on money and economics in general. The best I found last year was MarrLner S. Eccles' "Beckoning "Beckon-ing Frontiers." It was a creditable work by one of the nation's most enlightened bankers. 1 recognized the fact that money and credit, in circulation, are indistinguishable, indistinguish-able, and advocated a form of managed credit as the cure for recurring depressions. Still, it was more an autobiography than a treatise on money, and it left something to be desired. In the course of the quest, I recently brought three books home from the Salt Lake Library. They were Irving Fisher's "The Money Illusion," Thurman Arnold's "Folklore "Folk-lore of Capitalism," and Sumner Slitcher's "Towards Stability." Then, almost by chance, I received receiv-ed an unsolicited, unsought copy of Dr. Willford I. King's "The Keys to Prosperity." This, in my opinion, tops them all. The book was sent to me by E. A. Rumley, of the Committee for Constitutional Constitution-al Government, as a gift, of his own volition, as an unexpected response to a letter I wrote the committee congratulating them on a full page ad they ran in the Wall Street Journal. For one moment, a little comment com-ment on the three library books. Fisher's "Money Illusions" is by far the best of the three. It, along with his earlier book, "Stabilizing "Sta-bilizing the Dollar," and his later "After Deflation, What?" reflected a deep understanding of the monetary mon-etary dislocations which gave us recurring cycles of boom and depression, de-pression, with their aftermath of social unrest and radicalism. Fsh-er Fsh-er showed that the gold standard never did provide stable money; yet somehow he theorize that changes in the price of gold could adjust money value an error in logic excusable only because he was a pioneer in this new field. His ideas for adjusting the value of the dollar by adjusting the price price trf gold were tried early in the Roosevelt adminstration, and they didn't work. Even so, his books are informative and worth-reading. worth-reading.

We know now, that the depression could have been ended very easily, any time between 1929 and 1932, when it hit bottom. which would do away with spe- Thurman Arnold's "Folklore off cine funds for this, and, in effect, Capitalism" doesn't deserve serous ser-ous consideration. I rate it en attempt to wax satirical by a writer who simply didn't know what he was writing about. Sumner Slitcher's "Towards Sta bility" is important because the line of thought is that of many people who, sensing that the depression de-pression and the misery it created were needless, concluded that free capitalism did bear the seeds of its own destructiontMarx said, therefore, Marx mighfoe right on other points. The book was made up of a ser ies of lectures Slitcher made at Utah State AC in 1933. On reading it, I was horrified to think that a lot of innocent college boys had ever been exposed to such heresy, at USAC or anywhere else, and it made me wonder if the radicalism of some Utah leaders now in mid dle age may not have stemmed from it. Slitcher argued that capitalistic business could function only when businessmen could see a chance to make a profit. That was valid enough. But he then devoted the balance of the book to examination examina-tion of ways to control free capitalism capi-talism so as to assure profits! Taking the old NRA, price con trols, production quotas, etc., one by one and finding them unsatis factory, he concluded that since free eapitalism was so complex that it couldn't be controlled inti A ' ' , " " - I j& - ' V- .. ... v-: " -'"-.;.. .

He was one of those who said, in eftvet: nobody can understand free capitalism well enough to make it work, therefore we may well junk it and adopt socialism. This in spite of the fact that socialism so-cialism ai its best never proved as good as free enterprise at its worst. What he overlooked was the fact that the depression was purely pure-ly a monetary phenomenon, and that for that reason control of free enterprise couldn't possibly set matters right unless the needed adjustment in the value of money was made; and that if this were done, the seeming need for controls con-trols would vanish. That disposes of the three books. I hope to have something to say about Dr. King's book before be-fore many weeks.

School Lunch Program The PTA Is conducting a campaign cam-paign to save the school hot lunch program from the economy axe. Legislation has been proposed u ii'iiii nun I MivM liilll Am y y Li u zJ Li u iu My y l cl i H 'C ' put an end to the program. It strikes me that a nation which has as much wealth to squander on both public and private pri-vate projects of non-essential nature na-ture as ours has can well afford to provide hot lunches for school children, and I favor continuation of the present plan. While I have criticized the schools at times, it seems evident that our elementary and high school systems are among the best managed of our public institutions. If they have wasted some money on frivolous projects on occasion, the hot lunch program is not one of these. It is my belief that the school system should be furnished all the money it needs to provide the essentials es-sentials of liberal education for all children, in the best tenets of democracy, and of the American ideal of assuring something approaching ap-proaching equality of opportunity for all. Hot lunches and bus transportation trans-portation are essentials In rural communities. The PTA suggests that people interested communicate with their state senators and representatives. The school lunch program is one of the "socialistic" innovations of recent years that I would retain. There are others I would junk, and fast, but this Is not the place to discuss those. Richard S. Morrison Control of tha adult alfalfa woevil In early spring prevents pre-vents damage by succeeding generation! oi larvae. The best, easiest, and lowest cost way to control alfalfa weevil is to destroy it in the adult stage in early spring . . . before it lays its eggs. From these eggs the destructive larvae come. Apply dieldrin as soon as possible after the weevil comes out of hibernation. Adult weevils lay eggs when alfalfa is 1 to 2H inches tall ... or at the first growth stage. Proper timing of the dieldrin treatment, therefore, is of primary importance. Dieldrin can be applied two ways. For ground applications a dosage of 8 gallons of an emulsion containing just H pound of dieldrin kills the weevils. When applying from the air i pound of dieldrin in 2 gallons of diesel oil per acre will do the job. Alfalfa that has been protected from weevil attack by dieldrin assures higher quality, top yield from first cutting and healthy seed production.
