Lynn Twitchell acting as Program Emcee Hatch's City Cafe catering Swiss Steak Dinner PRICE: $1.50 Honoring Classes of '25, '35, '45, '55, '65 "SERVING THE PEOPLE OF DELTA AND THE GREAT PAHVANT VALLEY" Name Volume 55 Number 17 ,fPy Down UawnieL -By INEZ RIDING I personally do not want to be a disillusioned person in political parties any longer. This leads lo cynicism or apathy , and either is an unhealthy attitude, I think. 1 refuse to let this happen to me!! I will not become a cynic nor will I be guilty of apathy. Therefore, I'm going to be a "declared Independent." Inde-pendent." -This may not gain me anything except a clear conscinece, but that's better than this guilt feeling I carry around because I can't, in good conscience, fully support sup-port either party's platform and all candidates. From private conversations con-versations with friends, I find that I'm not the only one with misgivings misgiv-ings about being associated with either party-and strictly adhering to party lines! Several books on political figures are circulating about the state and our area is no different. Making the best seller list (almos.) are "None Dare Call it Treason" and "A Choice Not An Echo" and catching catch-ing up fast is "A Texan Looks at Lyndon". Another book that has wide popular appeal is "My Hope for America" by Lyndon B. Johnson, John-son, himself. Published in the Rocky Mountain Review, a Salt Lake weekly, is a report on "None Dare Call it Treason" Trea-son" by a group of Cleveland, Ohio known as the National Committee for Civic Responsibility. The committee com-mittee takes the book and shows it for what it is, a completely biased bia-sed account of American life and politics. Several examples of misquotations mis-quotations are revealed as well as distortions of fact. Anyone caring to read the full report may have my copy. I'm reading two books and one is BY Lyndon and the other is ABOUT him. If I had read "My Hope for America" two months ago and had not since listened to news cas's nor read any daily newspap ers I would not now hare a big question mark- in my mind about that vote! I'd be voting for Lyndon for my eyes would be bl'nded and my ears c'osed to anything else. BUT I HAVE HEAD NEWSPAPERS AND HEARD NEWSCASTS, so I have a big question! The -second book is "A Texan Looks at Lyndon". This book is highly interesting and in my opinion opin-ion is almost as biased as "None Dare Call it Treason". The author of "A Texan Looks at Lyndon" is J. Evetts Haley of Canyon, Texas. An interesting point AGAINST the authenticity of his book is that he, along with others, was after the much publicized radio station that Lady Bird purchased and parlayed into a very sizable fortune. Of course, to be bested in a big business busi-ness deal makes the opposing person per-son something of a crook, doesn't it? (And I said that I was not going go-ing to become a cynic.) American businessmen are known throughout the world for their shrewdness. May I ask this simple little question? "What is wrong with tha.?" But, I am read ng the book and I will continue to the end. I feel sure that none of us are as lily-white lily-white as we think we are and very few as bad as our bitterest enemies make us, Lyndon B. included. I wish I could vote for Goldwater. He appeals to me BUT repels me at the same time. For fns'.ance. his ta'k in Sa'.t Lake City makes me want to heave my cookies. Long before the Supreme Court ruling on prayer in public schools was handed down, ihe country was filled with concern for the apparent loss of ethics and morality, espe cially among the younger genera tion. Time magazine featured an article on sex on college campuses before the Supreme Court ruling, remember? The connection he makes be tween the Supreme Court ruling and the loss of morality in our nation na-tion is sheerest nonsense. I hove at least two votes straight in my mind. I will vote for Senator Moss and I will vote for Pratt Kess-ler Kess-ler for Attorney General. I think the committees that Senator Moss is on right now are important to Utah's bid for more water and Millard Mil-lard County is directly concerned. Attorney General has more working work-ing for him than a pleasant personality. per-sonality. I think he's a smart man with lots of ability. I became very concerned last Thursday, October 22, 1964 9 week when our area lost another farmer due to early frost damage and destructive winds for three years in a row topped off with not enough water to diversify his farming. farm-ing. Senator Moss just may be able to help Millard County get more water sooner. I think he can. Cattleman Jack Nelson has another an-other opinion about Senator Moss. He has a few words to say in reply to last week's Down Yawnder. So Jack, have at it. "After studying the meat quota bill passed by the Senate and House I have decided that it Is a typical Moss Bill. "The way the bill reads one would think that Senator Moss was the author of the bill. It does very lit.le to curb beef imports or to protect the meat industry. "Dr. Wilkinson has' the intelligence intelli-gence and ability to write and help pass bills that will protect not onlyhe meat industry but all private industry in the United States. People should remember that private industry built this country and big top-heavy government govern-ment can destroy it. "Seemingly, Moss believes that big government is the answer to all our pzoblems." I wear my ears back pretty well, don't you think? To Editor Bill Wilson: Haven't had anything "nasty" to say to you for sometime. Bill and I'm not going go-ing to start now but I am surely at a loss to understand the following follow-ing paragraph taken from "Frankly "Frank-ly Speaking" in the September issue is-sue of the Utah Publisher and Printer. Your paragraph reads "This coming com-ing .year, 1965, will see another session of Utah lawmakers on Capitol Cap-itol Hill. Start giving some thought to some legislation that would be helpful to Utah publications. One of which I've been thinking is the recall law for public officials. I've been involved in my home town in an action against the local board of education. Quite frankly, the minority min-ority or even the majority have little lit-tle recourse under the present laws. If a certain official is elected, there is nothing one can do for four years, which is sometimes too long." My question is this, B T: Whal is the connection between recall laws for public officials and legislation legis-lation helpful to .Utah publications? Now, darn it, don't keep the answer to yourself, share it with me. Contrary to a promise made last week, I have just run out of room and will say absolutely nothing for or against the Freeport Amendment. Amend-ment. I would imagine that answers ans-wers can be found at Friday afternoon's after-noon's (6:00) political discussion at the high school. I hope to see YOU, YOU, YOU & YOU there. ELDER ALLEN M.

Vermon Barney in a speech delivered Wednesday Wed-nesday night, Oct. 14 at Sutherland Back-to-School-Night. Supt. Barney said that district records showed that there had been some talk of consolidation of the elementary schools during the past five or six years. He pointed out that the district had several special schools, Delta Elementary and Fillmore Fill-more Elementary excluded. State aid to a special school is based on membership of students rather than average daily attendance and permission to operate these special schools has to be granted each year by the State Dept. of Public Sen.

Financal benefits to the district and educational benefi'.s to the students should be the deciding factors in consolidation, he said. Supt. Barney said that the state dept. has advised the board of ed ucation that consolidation should j be completed within the next three years. Questions to be considered by the board, he said, will include "Should the smaller schools bemoved into the larger?". Can consolidation be accomplished without expenedi-tures expenedi-tures for buildings?" Can two or more smaller schools be combined to escape the "special school" status?" sta-tus?" "If so, which schools?" "Will this hold true five or ten years hence?" Supt. Barney urged the audience to keep the education of children uppermost in mind when or if they approach the board with consolidation consolida-tion plans. The best criteria should be best education. He said that some of the best teachers in the district are now in the two and three room schools. But modern educational philosophy is for straight grades with no overloading. overload-ing. The district must make efforts on its own to cut expenditures in maintenance and operations of its schools if it is to continue to receive re-ceive state aid, he said. In conclusion, Supt. Barney said that the school board can only provide pro-vide education if people will let it and added that when the public fights consolidation it is really fighting the school children. He posed the question, "Is it sadder to lose the activity in one community com-munity or the educational opportunities opportu-nities in the whole district?" Supt. Barney was accompanied by his wife at the meeting. Other special guests included Delma Jean Galli and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Nelson.
