Show BY THE EDITOR, CLIFF N. MEMMOTT A VOLUME NEXT MONDAY IS LABOR 'Day. Carbon county has always gone all cut to appropriately observe this day, and 1949 this year will ibe no exception. For years the UMWA have rotated the county's cele- bration between Helper and Price, and this year they bring their festivities here. Congress has set up the first Monday in September as Labor Day and the president proclaims it as a day when the laboring man should be honored. Helper is happy to be the nost t0 labor's celebration, and I'm sure most every concern in this community have cooperated to make it a day they will cherish for days to come. cCc OF A PEOPLE ARE REWARDED Last Sunday night I joined with nearly 300 other peowitness the dedication of a new meeting house for one of the LDS wards of this county. As two bishops of Castle Gate, one who served many years prior to 1941 and the other since that time, pointed out in their remarks on that occasion: "Many hours of toil and sacrifice have gone into the building of this edifice that has become another shrine in which people may come and worship God as they please". It is true that for 10 long, hard years the members of this little LDS ward labored and planned until one day about 13 months ago they were able to move in and enjoy the pleasure of something that was their own. Those who along with Bishop Stapley and Bishop Thacker saw the (building started and participated In its dedication, whether their religious concepts are the same or whether they differ, join in. complimenting them for the great efforts expended to build a shrine unto their ple to God. Many fine addresses were heard including a beautiful dedicatory prayer by one of the church's leaders, but the tribute paid a Helper man, who is employed by the Utah Fuel Co., and one who is of the Catholic faith, thrilled me most. This man sold them a certain amount of vital materials at cost and then donated many long hours installing the equipment without cost. Here is a man whose reare different to those who were ligious philosophies building a chapel, yet he forgot all that and taught one of the greatest lessons in tolerance that can be taught by who aided He was not the only example. of-- the Castle Gate chapel, and , the building greatly-i- n many are still assisting to landscape the grounds. Isn't that a wonderful thing? cCc THE AMERICAN WAY "SOLD SHORT" (Editor's Note: Maurice R. Franks, author of the folis director of the National Foundation and editor of its official publication. Partners.) .... The American businessman has done a marvelous job in selling the American people the products of free enterprise. Take the automobile, for instance who would have believed it possible to sell this one product to practically every third person in the United States?. . . Yes, and who would have believed it possible to install a bathtub in the home of almost every American? Or a radio in practically every room in every home? But such is tbe accomplishment of American business leadership through a truly spectac-uula- r job of selling. For this particular achievement the businessmen of this country are to be roundly congratulated. But there is another selling job on which these same businessmen can claim but scant success. They are not properly selling the system that makes possible the outlet for their products. They are not selling free enterprise! The proponents of Communistic doctrine or of Socialism, as the stepping stone to Red power know very well that they are selling intangibles. They have no real samples of their Ibill of goods and must therefore resort to trickery if they would put their sales talk across. And chief among the tricks thus used is the introduction, of phony statistics. Such figures are quite effective, because, unless they can be disproven the moment they are presented, they are likely to be swallowed by the audience as the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It's about time these phony statisticians were challenged every time they make an utterance. For instance, a speaker for the Left will boldly toss in the statement that, "according to statistics, poverty and destitution have risen 25 per cent since the turn of the century." What he fails to tell his audience is that, according to further statistics, the population of this nation, over the same period that what of years, has increased bv 50 per cent-he- nce, not an in poverty, reduction a actually has taken place is increase. In this instance as in every other, it is necessary only to present the total picture to expose the fraud of Lettisi . "figures." The Communists have schools where their speakers to as are trained in the art of deceptive argument, so in of goods. "bill make easier the sale of their phony being the case, doesn't it seem reasonable ,hatAwe believe in our system of free enterprise and our way of life should be at equal pains to sell these tangibles?
