Show Ail Tuke Oils And Landings The most distinguished visitor at the airport last week was "Fearless" "Fear-less" Faris, who set his Kavion down Tuesday, January 12 to refuel. re-fuel. Fearless was flying to Aca-fulco, Aca-fulco, Mexico, with two companions, compan-ions, for a fishing trip. The nickname, nick-name, Fearless does not come, necessarily, from his bravery as a pilot, but rather from the man's courage as a "little guy" in facing fac-ing upto the wrath of his bigger competitors in business. If you don't quite recognize the name, you probably have heard of him by his other name, the Stinker. He runs cut rate gas stations in northern nor-thern Utah and Idaho, and does right well at it; well enough to he able to take off and fly his own Navion to a vacation spot in Mexico. He calls his stations Stinker Stin-ker Stations, and caricatures himself him-self as a skunk-which is the way his competitors regard him. And were 10 iorce my own economic econ-omic philosophy into the discussion, discuss-ion, without realiy knowing very much about how he runs his business, bus-iness, I'd be inclined to say more power to him. People who profess faith in free competitive enterprise enter-prise are all too often inclined to want, themselves, to cuddle up in some comfy little combine and operate op-erate in a monopolized market under un-der the protection of "fair labor" and "fair trade" laws, in best car-telistic car-telistic manner, to the real detriment det-riment of the public. The little guy who insists on upholding the principles of the free market by actually practicing what others preach is likely to find himself called many names, with such an appellation as the Stinker among the mildest. A "Beaut" Of A Blunder If the item headed Plug Blows, in this column last week, tended to be misleading, and it did, it wasn't because my co-observer, Ralph Christensen, and I, lacked accuracy in our powers of observation, for we didn't, but because, from something som-ething we saw clearly a distance of fourteen miles away, we jumped jump-ed to a too obvious conclusion. The Hot Plug didn't erupt a week ago last Sunday. The "eruption" "erup-tion" was the work of four boys who hauled a load of old tires to the edge of the crater and set fire to them. They were Jay Terry-Donald Terry-Donald Davis, and the two Sugar-ville Sugar-ville Romeos, Ross and Roger As-hby. As-hby. Just what the boys had in mind in doing such a tning is not clear, even yet. If they wanted to start a report that the crater was warming up, they succeeded. There's The-re's nothing gives off black smoke like aburning stack of old rubber tires.

As it turned out, they couldn't. Non of us could, The "eruption" of Fumarole Butte, like the Piltdovvn man, was a hoax. The worst of this is that your faithful correspondent corres-pondent fell for it. The best I can claim credit for is seeing and reporting what may have been the only black smoke to rise from the crater in manj centuries. It was the blackness of the smoke the put doubts in the mind of the Chronicle's editor Mrs. Cook, right off the 'bat. The dark color was the unusual thing. Warm moist mo-ist air w hich really does rise from the nearby crevices often forms visible clouds of mist, in cold weather. wea-ther. As far back as 1S90, Grove Karl Gilbert published a paper on the geology of this area, in which he said, "Before visiting this Butte, I had listened with incredulous interest in-terest to the statement that smoke or staem was sometimes seen to rise from it, but personal observation observat-ion subsequently removed all doubt". dou-bt". Noting in his paper indicated however, that the "smoke or steam was nothing but condensed moisture mois-ture brought up on warm air. Gilbert added, however, that "The most impressive phenomenon is the secular persistence of volcanic vol-canic heat", and "the period of heat dissipation Includes the whole of the Pleistocene period and an antecedent of erosion probably of equal length". For the present, the old butte continues to fumarole placidly, giving off vapors and warming the waters of the hot springs, as it has been doing for some time past. The incident just goes to show that you can't always believe what you see. Was my blunder a beaut or a butte? Of Time And The Governor The criticism Governor Lee made of the Time article, "The Governor Gover-nor And The Schools", appears to be more in the nature of a clash of mutually antagonistic philosophies philoso-phies than a reasoned discussion of the matter. The time article seemed reasonably reason-ably accurate, for a Time article. It may have been guilty of mild sins of omission, in failing to state for instance, that the three junior colleges given to the LDS church had been the property of the Church in earlier days; yet uch omission hardly seems important. Time's picture of the Governor showed him in what might be called an ob stinate mood; yet our Governor is nothing if not determined, nor is that characteristic necessarily to be considered a fault.

The Governor accused Time of lacking in objectivity. The accusation accusat-ion is not new, Many people, particularly part-icularly among those of us who are opposed to new-dealism and Communism, have accused Time of the same thing. And, for what it may be worth, I am prepared to uook, Lu Puce, Pearl Neison, Mar-state Mar-state that Time has admitted it. iu,uu- Kno.s, Nell CuUi.slei, and r-auv in ism, i trot mvovtea u an altercation with a member of the Time editorial staff. Correspondence Corres-pondence between us was carried on intermittently through the year A letter of April 6, 1951. written to me by this lady for the Editors, said in part, "The demand for so-called so-called "impartial' and 'objective' journalism seems to us not to take into account the very basis of journalism, jou-rnalism, which is selection. All journalists select facts. The myth, or fad, of 'objectivity' tends to conceal the selection, to kid the reader..." I can agree with that, but contend that Time has maintained main-tained an air of objectivity just the same, and in so doing has at least partially, from some readers, concealed the selectivity. In the "same letterTthe lady included an excerpt from Time's original prospectus, written in 1923, giving "Time feeling about edit orial objectivitly", as follows: "The editors recognize that complete neutrality on public questions and important news is probably as undesirable un-desirable as it is Impossible, and therefore are ready to acknowledge certain prejudices which may, in varying measure, predetermine their opinions on the news..." True enough, and if a reader is on guard, he may find a slanted newsmagazine Informative and use ful, but I hold that many Time subscribers have not been on guard against the "certain prejudices". Concerning them, I have at hand a sheaf of papers by such writers New I ' ! ! 1 t f ! Mi I ' i; -"'-"n , , i; ' i .. , f !, ' ; ' .-- v--"-tv'""" " ' ' ' - "7'.

The net result re-sult of their comments is not flattering flat-tering to Time; and they are all authoritative stuff. As for our Governor, he is grade A individualist. His old fashioned ideas of government are essentially essent-ially right, and it, indeed, he did get too rough with the UEA, 1 say that, in a measure the educators educat-ors asked for It. The Governor, as a rugged individualist, in-dividualist, may, indeed, not be sufficiently "enlightened" as some say, but he could hardly be further fur-ther wrong in his way than the academic leftists who have dominated dom-inated Education for some time are in theirs. And as for news magazines, I prefer to have opinion opin-ion presented as such, and signed, as it is in Newsweek and the U. S. News, rather than Insinuated into news reports In the form of sneering, sneer-ing, jeering jibes at respected people. In conclusion, it seems in order to remind everybody that the opinions opin-ions expressed in VVingovers are my own, and any resemblance to the opinions of anyone else is purely coincidental. ...Ultra-New NOW ON GALA DISPLAV AT YOUR OLDSMOBILE dealer's World's Kecord Rocket SEE MRS.
