(I'm referring to reports of births, weddings, wed-dings, deaths.) To me, a newspaper should do this. Heaven only knows how many mistakes I've made and how many readers have wished me back in Arkansas milking cows and picking cotton!! My mistakes have been honest ones and my column has been a presentation of honest convictions on my part. I have a deep and honest convict-on that ALL should pay more attention to American politics. This s.'ems, I'm sure, from my raisin'. I've listened to many a politician's ' MISS JEANNE ELIASON wMf CowBelle" Miss Jeanne Eliason, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Eliason of Delta, Del-ta, was recently named "Miss Roundup CowBelle" and will represent repre-sent the local CowBelle unit at the Utah Cattlemen's Convention in Salt Lake City, December 10, 11 and 12. She will be in competition with other girls from throughout the state for the title of Miss Utah CowBelle. Winner of the state con test will receive a $11.00 scholar ship and be officially entered in the Miss Utah pageant. Present at the meeting at the home of Mrs. Lincoln (Nora) Crop per were Mrs. Richard Ekker, president, presi-dent, Mrs. Lincoln Cropper, Mrs, Parry Taylor, Mrs. Alva Young, Mrs. Matt Cropper, Mrs. Bernell Thorn as and Mrs. Darrell Holden. Letters were read from various parts of the state on the "Steer a Year" contest being sponsored by the local cowbelles. Nov. 10, the local gals will sell the steer to the highest bidder at the Golden Spike National Livestock Show in Ogden Winner of the contest will be nam ed at that time. Livestock Show Dates At a meeting of the Board of Directors Dir-ectors and other interested individuals, individ-uals, held Sunday, Oct.ll, the dates for the 1965 Millard County Junior Livestock Show were set for May 13, 14 and 15, 1965. It was previously previous-ly announced that the 1965 Show would be held sometime in August. However, after lengthy discussion of the Board and obtaining the o-pinions o-pinions of those involved, including exhibitors and parents, the majority majori-ty vote of the group at the Sunday meeting was to continue to hold the Show in May, but to set the date earlier in the month in order to avoid conflict with the end of the school year activities. Other business discussed at the meeting pertained to working out plans to obtain the funds to build a Stockshow building on the property pro-perty now owned by the Millard County Junior Livestock Show. This has been a much needed and desired de-sired objective of the Show Committee Com-mittee for many years. Plans are now being made to meet with an Extension Service specialist on building planning and draw up some definite plans for making the best use of our property and the proposed building. A meeting will be held at a later date with the Millard County Commissioners to solicit their aid in this project. A discussion was also held on the place to hold the 1965 Show. It was suggested that the Show again be held at the Stockshow Barn which Is now leased to North- Thursday, October 15, 196 7i v. own wauMCe (and I'm using that word complimentary) compli-mentary) oratory when I was knee-high knee-high to a duck. My Papa Pyland and Mama Pyland instilled in a'l their brood of 13 this same conviction convic-tion by attending political meetings, meet-ings, rallies, speeches by visiting dignatories and taking us along. We knew we were there to hear. So we listened. Papa Pyland would brook no nonsense or tolerate disturbing dis-turbing actions from any of us. So the elan grew up and as far as I know all of us are trying to bring his own brood up in the same manner. man-ner. Being interested in candidates and their views is as natural to me as breathing. I've tried to attend every meeting in this area where candidates are speaking and to the best of my ability give a fair and accurate report in the . Chronicle. More often than not, I'll read my story of a meeting to some other person, who has been in attendance, attend-ance, to make sure that I've got it right before taking it back to the backshop to be set in type. Many persons who do not attend meetings for var'ous reasons call me or get in touch with me to get my impressions of "this" or "that" Candida's. I take this seriously. perhaps too much so, but it's part of being "controversial" Ines R'd- ing. If I've attended a Democratic meeting and if a Democrat asks me how I feel about a certain Candida Can-dida le, I tell them. Same is true of Republicans. If I like a candidate, I say so. Tuesday our telephone rang quite often by persons who did not attend Monday's meeting with Mr. Calvin Rampton. Callers have been from both parties. Questions asked range from "What did he say a-bout a-bout the school issue?" to "Are you going to vote for him?" - - I did not l'ke it when Mr. Rampton Ramp-ton told his large audience that "no one could have been angler at me than Ines and we have buried the hatchet". I did not like to be singled out, for if I've been or it I'm st 11 angry so have a lot of other Democrats in the west Millard Mil-lard area. I disliked the remark so much that I rudely interrupted him to say that he, too, had been -angry with me and that the hatchet was Just barely covered. I do not agree with his statement that at the time he took the case he didn't know that he was going to be a candidate candi-date for governor. By this I mean, I don't see how this is possible. Surely a person seeking such a high public office knows well ;n advance that he is going to be a candidate! I'm reminded of an instance following fol-lowing the last election when N. S. Bassett was defeated by LaMar Monroe. Almost immediately, a good friend approached me with the idea of grooming myself to become be-come the next opponent of Mr. Monroe's.

The final business to come before be-fore the meeting was the nominating nominat-ing of persons to be elected to the Board of Directors for the 1965 year.

Cj l Z lard School Board, that he did not know that he was going to be a candidate for the office of governor govern-or of Utah. "Once involved in the politically explosive issue, I had to represent my clients to the best of my ability", he said. "To with draw from the case because of my candidacy, would be taking the coward's way out", he continued. He asked his audience to be appreciative ap-preciative of his position and added that he was not in Delta to argue the merits of the case, and stated that he would continue to represent repre-sent his clients in the matter to the best of his ability. He received a loud round of applause at this statement led by west Millard Democrats. De-mocrats. Mr. Rampton continued by re viewing Governor George D. Clyde's (R) record. He said that the Clyde administration had inherited approximately ap-proximately forty million dollars in surplus from the J. Bracken Lee administration but through poor ad ministration, the next governor will inherit a deficit. This deficit will have to be made up. Mr. Rampton said that Utah property is bearing too much of the taxation of the state and if elected and if a tax increase becomes necessary he will recommend to the State Legislature that it look to the personal income and corporate income tax for more revenue. He said that he is of the opinion that the sales tax is the least equitable tax of all. To maintain the state's economy and to meet the present growth of population Mr. Rampton said that from 7500 to 10,000 new jobs need to be created each year. He pointed out that to provide a sound economy forty per cent of the labor force should be engaged in the basic industry of.manufacturing. Presently, less than 10 is engaged in industry other than defense, he said. He emphasized that Goveror Clyde should have taken steps six or seven years ago to provide for industry. He pointed out that the Clyde administration should have been aware that the defense bubble bub-ble would not last indefhvtely. "Industry", "In-dustry", Mr. Rampton said, "must be able to operate profitably and we must encourage Utah capitol to develop locally owned and managed manag-ed industry." In speaking of his opponent, Mr. Mitch Melich, Mr. Rampton said that Mr. Melich is a fine man and a personal friend and that he would not attack him personally but ad-ed ad-ed that he (Mr. Melich) would be saddled with an inherited toD- heavy administration created by uovernor Clyde. He said that the next governor would have to be free of any political party pressure to weed out the hangers-on in the state government. When asked to explain his stand on the Freeport Amendment, Mr. Rampton said that although such legislation has some drawbacks, it was necessary to create a favorable tax climate for new industries. Other speakers of the evening included J. Harlan Burns, candidate candi-date for Dist. Attorney of the Fifth Judicial Dist; Sharp Larsen, State Treasurer seeking the office ot State Auditor; Clyde Miller, candidate candi-date for Secretary of State; Verdell Bishop, candidate for State Representative; Repre-sentative; Cutler Henrie and Noel T. Robins, candidates for Millard County Commission. Mr. Burns said that his background back-ground and legal experience eq-quiped eq-quiped him for the office of district dist-rict attorney. There are three basic goals that he wants to accomplish if elected. These are (1) Proscecu-tion Proscecu-tion of offenders, (2) protection of individual rights and (3) promotion of economic growth of the five counties encompassed in the Fifth District. If elected, Mr. Burns promised prom-ised to devote his best efforts to public office as he has in his private pri-vate practice. Mr. Larsen urged his listeners to "get out the vote" and stated that he was proud to be an American and a Democrat He said that state government provides a big challenge chal-lenge and said that state money should be invested within the state. The office of the Secretary of State is an integral part of the State government, Mr. Miller said. A false impression is being presented present-ed to the public by the Clyde administration ad-ministration on the state operating on a cash basis, he charged. Cash basis, he explained, would mean that more money is spent than collected col-lected each bienium. One Legislature Legisla-ture obligates the next legislature to expenditures, he pointed out He urged full support of Mr. Rampton. Verdell Bishop named re-apportionment, Utah elementary and secondary se-condary educational needs, juvenile court system and the problems con fronting Utah agriculture resulting from the use of insecticides the big problems facing the next legislature. legisla-ture. "Smaller high schools, such as Delta and Millard High, aren't financially able to provide more classes that are increasingly need ed to gain entrance into colleges", he said. "Far too many high school graduates from smaller high schools are being required to take courses during their first college year that should have been available avail-able during their high school careers". ca-reers". Mr. Bishop said that the juvenile court system Is too lax in many instances on youthful offenders of-fenders and said there should be a "tightening" up. Cutler Henrie said that he would do everything possible as county commissioner to help secure Central Cent-ral Utah Water for Millard County. There is direct connection with the empty farm homes in the county and the need for more water to keep land in production, he added. He asked for support in the November No-vember election. Noel Robins said that he would work for all of Millard County and felt there was no such thing as east Millard and west Millard. He urged his audience to work for the election of the complete Democratic Democrat-ic ticket. Commissioner Leigh Maxfield acted as master of ceremonies at the event. Delta High School cheer leaders. Cathy Callister, Mary Lyman and LoRalne Johnson gave a chant and sang a song urging everyone to study the issues, learn the candidates, candi-dates, register and vote. They were accompanied by Mrs. Ruby Bishop. Fourth cheer leader, Lynette Riding was excused because of illness. NOTICE! Spectators have been creating quite a problem to the Delta Fire Dept by sometimes reaching the fire station, following a fire signal, sig-nal, before the firemen making it difficult for the firemen to reach the truck or to receive directions. A few minutes at such a time can make the difference between saving a building and losing it. Oftentimes, spectators crowd the firemen while they are in the process of extinguishing a fire, thus hampering their efforts. Cars following the fire truck to fires can increase the liklihood of an accident Sometimes firemen, driving their own cars to a fire, are unable to get to the fire truck at the scene because of milling spectators.
