Show t MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah. Thurs. Nov. 14. 1957. GIVING OUR WORLD THE Once Over Historic Spot If you want to get to Salt Lake the worst way if we may steal an old vaudeville Joke take the road north out of Elberta and go up on the west side of Utah Lake. This route also holds the distinction of being the shortest. And the truth is, that except for a twenty-two mile stretch of rough gravel, it is all asphalt surfaced. The distance is about 120 miles, the shortest of any except the airline course of 100 miles even. This Is just one of several offbeat off-beat routes we may take to the city, aside from the familiar choice of going by way of either Provo or Tooele. Probably none of us has ever tried them all. I happened upon what was a new one to me last trip up,' and rasa it on here for the benefit of any travelers who may want to try a different route just for the novelty of it. You can go rather easily from Vernon directly to Fairfield, and By Dick Morrison see some new country in the process. pro-cess. To do this, follow U 3G northwesterly north-westerly from Tintic, past the abandoned grain elevator, to Vernon. Ver-non. Then, continue north on U 36 until you come to the first group of farm buildings on the right, or east side of the highway, and turn right. At first sight, this road appears to be only a driveway entering someone's farm, but this is not the case. It is an oiled road for two miles; to Faust, which Is a settlement on the railroad. From Faust, a good gravel road continues contin-ues for twelve miles northeasterly to a Junction with the paved highway high-way U 73, which continues on through Fairfield, Cedar Fort and on to Lehi. This crosses the north-south north-south route to Camp Williams, and the Redwood Road. From this crossroad, which is some three miles west of Lehi, you have the choice of driving directly north to Salt Lake via Redwood Road, or on to the west it.

'The overall distance to Salt Lake is about 146 miles. It Is on the gravelled road a few miles east of Faust that you come to a monument marking the site of an old Pony Express station. This Is of some historic interest bringing to mind any nunVber of stories of early Utah affairs to students of history; recalling the time when Fairfield, a few miles farther east, was the biggest city In Utah. Much more recently, Fairfield Fair-field has been known as the site of a CAA radio on the LA-SL airway, air-way, though even this has been since abandoned. The twelve mile gravel stretch from Faust to the junction with U 73 is not bad going at all, and the route offers an interesting chance to break the monotony if you make frequent trips to Salt Lake. Forgotten Angles I was one of the majority of 474 who voted in favor of the TV translator trans-lator project, and not one of the 8 who voted against it, so In what I am about to say I'm not complaining complain-ing because the project is going ahead. I suppose I will buy a TV receiver some time, and share In the benefit to be. derived from it. There are, however, some aspects of the matter that have been generally gen-erally overlooked, or Ignored. Television .broadcasting is, after all, a commercial enterprise, entered enter-ed into in the hope of profit, the costs being borne by advertisers who hope to catch the attention of the nation's vidiots. It seems rather strange that public funds should be used to help bring these advertising adver-tising messages to the community. Just what, if any, rationalization is there for thus appropriating city and county funds to help commercial commer-cial enterprises put their advertising advertis-ing messages across? I know the legal authorization was passed by the last legislature, but beyond that what's the business or ethical angle? Broadcasting is not the only commercial aspect, either. The selling of TV receivers is another. It appears as if public funds are being used, in part, to subsidize this business, indirectly. Yet a third angle Is the fact that TV Is in competition with other types of entertainment business. So we find those in competition with TV being taxed to help support their competition. This just isn't right although the basic objection object-ion probably applies to any and all forms of public subsidy for any line of business, and public subsidies subsid-ies have been granted to favored groups for centuries. The underlying underly-ing injustice hasn't stopped them, nor is there any prospect that it will. Well, as I said, I voted yes on the proposition, and I fully expect it to go ahead. It is just that I don't think it ever hurts anybody to face up to all angles of such a matter, even if the facing up means nothing more than calling attention attent-ion to certain aspects which are usually glossed over In any such move when it is wanted by a majority maj-ority of the people. Perhaps the most Intriguing of all angles is that nobody is bothering bother-ing to equip the translator to bring us the signals of the educational TV station. Strictly speaking, that Is the only station of the four in Utah which might be "translated" with public funds without violating the ethical principles. But who wants to be educated by TV? Yet again, I wouldn't want it to be said that I am in favor of the educational TV station, either. I think both radio and TV standard broadcasts should be limited strict ly to private enterprise, and think it ridiculous for educational instit utions to operate TV broadcasters. They have no more business doing this than they would have In run ning a department store to teach business, a daily newspaper for teaching journalism, or a railroad for teaching the principles of diesel locomotives. Such activities tend to turn universities Into glorified trade schools. And I can imagine no phase of audio-visual education that could not be handled better with sound movies than with TV broadcasts. So, now that that's said, let's go ahead and complete the translator station. 40th Anniversary The world's biggest poorhouse is celebrating its 40th anniversary this month. It is one of the most amazing spectacles In human history. hist-ory. One thing that is amazing about it is that Communism has achieved exactly nothing of what the theories theor-ies of Marxism promised the "emancipation" of the working classes. What it has achieved is slave labor, general poverty among its subjected peoples, and the launching laun-ching of the first artificial satellite of the earth. Communism, wherever it has been established, continues to exist by virture only of the iron rule of force. It is maintained by military dictatorship, and it would crumble in a . minute if that dictatorship were relaxed. Yet so blind is the fanatacism of world Communist leaders and sympathizers that they do not see why this is so. Finding it necessary to fight human nature is, or should be, they continue to harangue that the thing they are fighting is "the forces of action", or something like that They are wrong. What they are fighting is the basic Instincts of human nature And the moment the iron rule is relaxed, people will instinctively revert to the ways of individualism, for there is no constructive force In j human affairs comparable to individualism, ind-ividualism, for there is no constructive construc-tive force In human affairs comparable com-parable to individual self-interest. The Communists may call it sordid, or what they will, but the truth is, they do not understand It. They are, In fact, intellectually dishonest dishon-est concerning their own motivations. motivat-ions. For, in denying that they are moved by considerations of individual indivi-dual self-interest, they are proving themselves the rankest hypocrites. This hypocrisy pervades all col-lectivist col-lectivist thinking everywhere. One "liberal" columnist who obviously ob-viously doesn't grasp this Is Ros-coe Ros-coe Drummond. In an article which was printed in the Deseret News Nov. 6, Mr. Drummond tried to draw a distinction between Soviet militarism and Soviet Communism. No such distinction is possible. Soviet Communism exists because Soviet militarism stands behind it. Soviet Communism will fall the moment Soviet militarism ceases to enforce it Mr. Drummond wrote: "The Russians appear to be celebrating cele-brating the 40th anniversary of the birth of communism, but the truth is they have discarded and buried every claim to every ideal and concept con-cept of Marx and Engels to which they once gave lip-service". He concluded with, "The danger to the Free World is not communism; It is aggressive militarism hiding under the guise of communism". Now that Is so much nonsense. It shows the blind-spot in the thinking of the typical "liberal" of our day. That blind-spot is simply the failure to see that Communism runs so far contrary to the instincts of human nature that nothing but militarism can enforce its dictates. Remove the militarism from Russia, Rus-sia, and the people would Immediately Immedi-ately start doing things the "capitalistic" "cap-italistic" way. And, given freedom, they would prosper, and commence to realize once more the Joy of human aspiration, the satisfaction of being permitted to build and create for themselves. And the aggregate of all such individual efforts, In a free Russia as anywhere any-where else, would be a prosperous and happy nation. So obsessed have some of our communist sympathizers been with the false idea that Communism could be maintained without military mili-tary dictatorship that, for a time, they flocked to the concept of "national communism". Independent Independ-ent of Russian communism, as holding the answer they sought in vindication cri their half-cracked theories. They pointed to Yugo slavia as their great hope. But as '.t was Inexorably !cKtinorl to do, communism in Yugaslavia degenerated degener-ated into military dictatorship. Why? Simply because human beings, whether they think they would like collectivism or not, will not put forth their best constructive construct-ive efforts for collective purpose. . We must not be misled by Russian Rus-sian "success" in launching the satellites. After all, it was captured German rocket experts who did that, not miserable peasants on unproductive collective farms. Russia Rus-sia remains a land of privation and misery, its people prevented by law from doing anything to better their own lot, discouraged by universal collectivism from doing effective work. Russian scientific advances have not been of a nature to improve im-prove the standard of living of the common people, as occurs in the very nature of the operation of a capitalistic system. There are very sound reasons why any system of state collectivism collecti-vism will fall apart the moment the backing of mititary force i3 removed from it; and there are equally sound reasons why free. logical our liberal-leftists claim to !...,. . ., i, . . . . ,1 ' K fnrt i-omnlns that it i l .lJjLi.Ui.U V.Ai .cu.lw.4UW' V .'Jl i.'. - unless destroyed by force. The reasons lie in the basic instincts of human nature. And no matter how rational or neither rational nor logical to try to Impose a social system upon human beings which is based on a false concept of human nature. iW- i 4 ' no w 4 "I JJUl.iJlJL.
