Show - rT ' 1 0 1 By INEZ RIDING I've always defended rock-n-roll and one could say that I'm quite a fan depending on conditions but, I draw the line at some of the songs these days. It makes me quite resentful to think that some of the lovliest songs have to be subjected to a new BEAT. Mona Lisa is a wonderful song as sung by Nat King Cole. It is an icky song when sung by Conway Tweety. No doubt, Mr. Tweety is a good singer, he would have to be first to do what he does to that song! My hat is off to the committee of the rodeo, Days of the Old West. I'll have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the rodeo this year. I liked the way it moved right along. The whole thing was exciting and when the clown got in the way of the bull that was more excitment than I bargained for! Have you seen one of the papers published by J. BRACKEN LEE? Whether you agree with him or .not he puts out a mighty interesting little paper. 'Tis said by some that he is a radical. My dictionary says that a political radical is one who advocates widespread governmental governmen-tal changes at the earliest possible moment. Perhaps what we need is more radicals, who knows. That is if all radical are as intelligent and present their theories and convictions convic-tions in such an interesting way! We have so many rules and regulations reg-ulations to guide our lives that it sometimes makes one wonder just when the government will set up a new agency to do all of our thinking think-ing for us! That does not mean that I do not go along with authority or anything any-thing of the sort but if I want to buy something from someone or sell something to someone I like to think that I'll be able to do it. - And I don't need help from the government, I'd say, but I'm probably prob-ably wrong, too., My father had a theory about help from the government. He wouldn't accept it! When he was well past old age pension age and as deserving as anyone he was rn cz ZZj Z& ST IS CD m C73 I 0 ho 1 SI GO m t2 en 123 CJ I A. M downright insulted to have it even suggested! But, I think in many ways, my Papa Pyland was a radical rad-ical too. Even during the war when all were using ration stamps, he would be insulted when the married mar-ried kids would come home and bring their ration stamps! By golly he and Mama Pyland had set a pretty fine table all of their married mar-ried life without help and he didn't want any now! I think of all the many Inventions since Papa Pyland died none would have thrilled him as much as television. tel-evision. Perhaps not the programs but the whole idea of television. We used to have a ROUNDER of a cousin called "Cousin Panky." He had probably gone through wives like other men go through shoes but what a glamorous life he had led or so it seemed when he first came to see us. We were such a good audience and Mama Pyland DID set such a iine table that his little overnight stop went on and on and on and on! Goodness, the places that he had been to and the things he had seen. Hg had this mop of a head of pure white and fangs for teeth. His hair was fascinating to us kids. He parked his trailor under a peach tree and there he stayed for many months. Speaking of old-age pensions reminds re-minds me of something that has been bothering me for some time. And that would be welfare. I do believe be-lieve in welfare in certain cases, but far too many receive help that shouldn't Some are just as able to work as you and I. Some welfare cases I've seen and heard about completely relieve the parents of the responsibility of rearing their own children.. In such cases, the attitude seems to be, "We've got it made." Then is when I'M all Irish and ready to be hardhearted hard-hearted enough to take all help from the family. We are the suckers suck-ers in such cases. We do not help anything by doling out our good tax money. The situation is bad ,1 think, when such things go on and we sit on our hands and do nothing. Bonita Hardy and Myrna have a 4 v . pan with Lady Bugs In and I just overheard Bonita tell Myrna, "Oh,! the Mama Is whipping the babies." (Donlta, where does she get the idea that Mamas whip the children???) child-ren???) (My own darlings haven't the slightest idea that mothers ever get upset enough to start spanking'.) spank-ing'.) (To tell the truth, I'm rather tired of children our own included. I'm tired of having to plan their activities, referee their squabbles, hearing Mama twenty times a meal. One could say that I'm as near ready for school to start as can be, couldn't one?) It seems that our whole summer has gone to make the world a better bet-ter place for children. I've worked in Primary, I've worked some In Mutual, I've helped to plan three or four youth dances or parties and now I'm ready for those same youths to work to make the world a better place for me! I have felt that I've spent so much time outside out-side the home with youths that our home atmosphere has much to be desired. It takes so much time to plan these worthwhile activities that one gets pushed for time to keep up the home in an even temper! tem-per! (Or am I the only one that has considered taking the children out of all activities so that I can get How does some work dune at home, things like sewing, cleaning (the heavy kind) reading and baking.) Some days I don't care that there are many unhappy teenagers in our vicinity because of lack of things to do. Teenagers, sit up and take notice. When we were growing up (I know that you have heard this before) we didn't have nearly the entertainment that you have right here. I cnn't even remember thinking think-ing that the town was failing us because it didn't provide all the things that it takes to keep young people enertained. Life is more than entertainment. Frankly, 1 think, young men and women, you take advantage of adults. There is not one experience that you can experience that we haven't experienced exper-ienced (And thas is a mouthful). It seems that all our thoughts are geared to "How will this set with the young people?" Well, now isn't it time that you start thinking" How will this set with the old people?" peo-ple?" I'm ready to knock you down to size! With that remark I mean to let you know that you are no more or no less important than the rest of the world. (I hope that you will continue to speak to me.)

The table below shows weekly expenditures by Kennecott before the strike began, and also weekly expenditures now that the strike is on. Every week before the strike, Kennecott paid out $2,610,086. This went for payrolls, machinery, supplies, freight, insurance, taxes and other items. NOW, every week, the amount spent is $242,779. That's a difference of $2,367,307 every week. That's what the strike called by Union officials is costing YOU, the people of Utah.
