Show PRESS TIME mm By Georf e most is It interesting to watch the national commentators as they rehash last week's election results. Some say that the country has given the conser- vatives a jolt from which they can never recover Others say that there is a real question as to whether the Republican party can ever recover from their defeat. Some have even said that it is an indication that the people of the country are and ten or fifteen in favor of the policies of the present administration. In looking back it seems to me that perhaps they are missing a possible point. In 1960, the division of the popular vote was as close the 50 - 50 as you can get, meaning that about half the people thought Nixon, would be a good president and just a small fraction felt that Kennedy was better fitted for the job. As nearly as I can see, in the 1964 election, at least according to the national commentators, all the polls and the articles you could find showed that Mr. Goldwater was not a popular candidate and that nobody but a few extremists could possibly support him as president. In the election, he was beaten in all but six states and that gave Mr. Johnson the biggest landslide victory in the history of this country. From reading the reports of the people who were with both candidates through the election it is impossible to believe that more than perhaps six or eight people in the whole country could possibly have voted for Mr Goldwater because they felt he was better fitted for the job of president of the U.S. Here we are faced with a very peculiar situation, we find 27 out of 68 million voters who must have given their votes to a man who they didn't feel was best qualified to run the country. Why would they go and do a thing like that? Could it be that they were using their vote as a protest against the policies which lost the victory in Korea and set up the present situation in Viet Nam where Single Copy 10c BEAVER one-hundr- $3.00 a Year 5fW 2 3 in Beaver County CLOTHING Other $4.00 American boys are being November 16. Mr. Ray Rosvall and Mr Rosenberg will be on hand Tuesday afternoon from 3 until 6 p.m. to hold interviews with women who would like to work at the plant." Sherma Albrecht and Margie Johnson, who have been in Mr. Franklin's plant in Los Angeles being trained to work on the sportswear manufactured there will finish their training this week-en- d and are expected to be back in Beaver by Saturday or Sunday. Mr. Franklin made it very plain that he does not intend to start with a large work force but will start with a few girl3 and get them on production as rapidly as possible. Then as they are trained and become productive, more women will be added to the plant to be trained. Officers Named For Beaver Athletic Club A meeting of people who are interested in promoting an athletic club in Beaver was held last Thursday evening at the Beaver High School Pictures of the Beaver-Dixigame were shown as well as pictures of various football games played by the Utah State University. After watching the films an election of officers was held with John Riley gaining the r president post and McKay being named secretary. They agreed to work with Roger Carter, High School Student Body President on a constitution for the organization and any other matters of business which come e com- mitted to a war and being shot at and killed and yet lack the assurance that this country is behind them and intends to win? Could it be that they were Far-re- protesting national fiscal policies which have built in inflation, which is robbing them of their savings and taking the value from their insurance policies? Could it be that they don't think that Washington can do everything better than can be done at home and rather feel that 'that government is best which governs least'? True, Mr, Johnson gained the electoral votes of 46 of the 50 states, still, why did 27 of 68 million voters vote for a man that nobody wanted as president? I doubt that anyone knows why those 27 million people voted as they did because there actually were 27 million different reasons. The same could be said. about the 41 million who gave their votes to Mr Johnson. They don't all believe that this country can continue to grow and prosper on a buy now and pay never basis. They aren't all converted to a big government philosophy. Without any great amount of question there must have been close to 41 million reasons for their voting as they did. Here Is where I believe that those national commentators, including those working in all the news media magazines, newspapers, television and radio have done their country a disservice. In taking part in the campaign, they tended to report on their impression of what was said and what they believed the man said and gave not enough space and time to reporting what each candidate did in fact say. As an example, The Saturday Evening Post had two articles coming right one after the other, one carried a story of the Goldwater campaign that stressed his belief that the states were better able to take care of the racial problems in the country than the federal government. That was followed immediately by an article about the negro problems in Mississippi where it was shown that in that state they mean to keep the negro in his place which is with his face in the mud and a white man's foot on the back of his neck. Perhaps It was not meant to come out that way but both issues had editorials by Mr Alsop who seemed to be trying to say that a vote for Goldwater was worse that a mortal sin. Then, on the other side, there were several pieces of 'literature' brought forth such as "'A Choice Not An Echo" and "None Dare Call It Treason". According to the authors of those books the day is indeed late. Thd Department of State has become infested with communists and idiots, the Supreme Court has up. Arrangements have been made to have pictures taken at the Beaver game in Moab this coming Friday and they will be shown next Thursday, Nov. 19, at the next meeting of the group. At the time of the meeting, there had been 127 people who had paid their $5 membership fee to join the club. The main purpose of the club, at present is to buy camera equipment so that athletic events in which Beaver teams participate can be filmed. The cost of the equipment contemplated is close to $1,000. Everyone has. more to do than they can find time for but here is one cause we should all really try t0 take time for and give a boost With all the emphasis that is placed on problems caused by juvenile delinquency, it seems foolish to miss a chance to work with and give encouragement to any of these youngsters who are just on the , edge of manhood. I only wish the scope of the organization could be increased to lend the orsupport of a real, live-wir- e ganization to all of the activities of the high school including the drama,- speech, music, science and vocational departments. In the meantime, let's all get behind this program and make it a real success. The MIA Maids and Laurels held a fashion show for their parents on Monday night. Refreshments were served and it was a very pleasant and interesting meeting, adopted the communist line and the only real hope was an uprising of the people with political differences to be settled against the wall as in Cuba. I sincerely hope that the Republican party can make a fast and strong come-bac- k and take its place again as a powerful force in the political affairs of this country. I feel that we are safer and stronger with two strong parties where one is very careful what policies it tries to carry forward because they are fully aware of a powerful party in opposition who will try to find weak spots in planned programs. It is obvious that the Amer-lea- n people don't want to the steam engine". Still, 27 million of them felt strongly about something and I doubt that the other 41 million meant to have their votes counted as being in favor of further inflation and growing indebtedness in prosperous times.

HIGH AUDITORIUM DECEMBER 3rd, 1964 BEAVER , Region Ten Music Clinic -- Five girls represented Beaver High School at the Region 10 Band and Chorus Clinic held at Cedar City High School on November 6th and 7th. The five participants were Elizabeth Messinger, Kristie Farrer, Connie Jeannine Smith, Linda Watson and Mary Baldwin. The purpose of the annual clinic is to assist the participating students in developing their musical talents and tastes. The clinic is designed to raise the quality of student musicianship. ' This year's clinic was directed by Marsha Hoyt and Harold Boyce of the Cedar City High School Music Department Visit' ing clinicians were Dr. Ralph -Woodward from - the Brigham Young University who directed the chorus, and Dr. Max Dalby, from Utah State University who directed the band. Both men contributed a good deal to the musical knowledge of our students and they both reported that they had enjoyed working with the southern Utah students. The clinic consisted of rehearsals and instruction from the clinicians. The event was climaxed by a joint band and chorus concert on Saturday night. The concert was well attended and enjoyed by alL The Beaver High School girls enjoyed the trip and feel that it was very worthwhile to them. Mr Christensen of the Beaver High School wishes to thank those parents who allowed their students to attend. all-regi- all-regi- on Mello-Ton- es Featured At Supper Club Eugene Jelesnick Productions announced that the Mello-Tone- s of Beaver Utah and Ventriloquist Roy Baumgartin of Salt Lake City, performed Saturday, November 7th, at the York Supper Club for the Western Division of Klrby Vacuum Sales banquet. Janet Smith of Beaver provided accompaniment for the program. Later that evening Mrs. Jelesnick entertained the ladies at the Teogra Restaurant where they were asked by the manager to sing. Mr. Jelesnick, violinist, and Carlos Arrayo, Mexican Guitarist, who perform each week-en- d at the resturaunt, ac- companied the number and encores (I think it is quite wonderful are able that the Mello-Tone- s to promote Beaver through their lovely voices, I can't think of a nicer way to do it.) for a dollar from these men. Now, compare that with the programs of the federal government. There we have men who have no knowlege of the people involved but only of the problem. They must be sorely tempted to design their programs for political advantage, since they are human, and we see from experience that they often arrive at plans which have completely lost sight of the need to be able to pay for what we buy. I wonder, now that there is nothing behind us but the 'full faith and credit' (while it lasts) if this time won't go down in the history books as the time of the "Printing Press Prosperity"? Beaver 'Takes' Parowan 13-- 7 In Come From Behind Battle Moab Next! Last Friday afternoon Beaver took a win over the Parowan Rams in a last minute heart stopper. Parown took charge of the ball game for the first three quarters, holding the Beavers in their own territory. The Rams gained their touchdown early in the second quarter on an off-- . tackle running play and made the point after on a short pass play. Beaver tried several pass plays in the second and third quarter with the ball just missing the fingers of the receivers. Early in the fourth quarter Beaver received the ball on a punt from Parowan and worked the ball on the ground to the ten yard line where Sherm Swindlehurst carried on an end sweep over the goal. Beaver's try for point failed bringing the score to 6 Parowan. Beaver was able to hold the Rams after the kick-of- f and took over the ball after Parowan failed to make their try for a first down on the Parowan line Beaver was thrown for a short loss on their first down, moved back to the line of scrimage on their second down and then were caught on a holding penalty which made it 3rd down and 25 yards to go on the third down. Fails went out wide as a flanker on the play and moved downfield to about the Parowan 30 yard line where he caught the pass from Ray Fails, he moved almost to the twenty yard line before he was stopped. Beaver then tried a ground play for a three yard gain and then Fails threw to Carter in the end zone for the wining touchdown. Beaver's try for point was made on a pass from Ray Fails to Sonny Griffiths making Beaver. the final score 13-- 7 This was a hard fought game in which several players receiv-injurie- s. Most serious, from a standpoint of the coming game with Moab is Ray Fails who suffered pulled musceles in his right shoulder and will be unable to play. Sherm Swindlehurst pulled some muscles in his back but is expected to be able to play. There were other, more minor injuries suffered by other members of the squad Arrangements have been made and if permission can be gained the game at Moab will be broadcast over the high school radio KCBS station starting at 1:00 p.m. next Saturday. If Beaver is able to gain a win over Moab, the next, or semi-fingame will be played here in Beaver.

This brings up a problem which needs clearification, what are the duties of the County In researching this Sheriff? question we find that originally, the counties hired sheriffs to take care of law enforcement problems outside of the cities. Then, as automobiles came into being and traffic became a problem, the State Highway Patrol was set up to care for that job. We now find ourselves in the position of hirinng a full-tim- e deputy to take care of the problems in the west end of the county and the biggest problem he is called upon is the investi-- . gation of accidents on the roads from Milford to Delta or to Ely The present, part-tim- e deputy has been having to work almost full time doing that job and it is only right that he should if that is how be paid full-tim- e much he works. Certainly, if a Sheriff's Deputy is called to an accident, he must respond. He is an officer of the law and is ''on call" 24 hours a day. My question is, 'Is it right that the county should pay him or should he be paid by the state for doing a state job?" The question of hiring a road supervisor was again discussed. The state has ruled that such a man must be hired before they will approve purchases of equipment with 'B' road funds. It was decided that the two present county road foremen should be tested by the state to decide if they can qualify for the position, if ' both can qualify, then the job will go to the one with the highest score on the state test. Beaver County Welfare Director, Mr. Clarence Kirkham, met with the commission to discuss problems of his office and two points came from that discussion which were of interest. In one case, the county had received a bill for services from a doctor and it appeared that those services had already been paid for from state funds. The other case was that the state welfare department demands a lien on property of aged or indigent persons while the county has no such provisions. One instance was shown where the son of a welfare recipient was able to pay off the state lien of about $250 and gain a clear title to the property even though the county had over $1,000 In assistance they had given No one wants to discontinue' the policy of county aid to county people. This is about as close to home as you can get and is probably the best welfare program in the world. The real question that arises is, ''Should these county funds be used to build an estate for the heirs." I never fail to wish that all of the people of the country could be present at a county commission meeting when the Welfare Director makes his report, if that could happen I believe real good could be accomplished. Here are four people meeting and discussing the problems of people in the county who are in trouble or need help. Most of the time all four men know what the problem is and also the person in need of help, always at least two of them have that information. They know of the family of the person and most of the time know whether the family is doing their share They also know of the county's ability to pay. We get all the help that can be bought Want to visit the "good old days" when all was peaceful and serene? When everything moved at a slow and leisurely pace? When greed, ambition and jealousy were unheard of? Then do not DO NOT we repeat come to the Beaver High School production of ''Meet Me In St. Louis."
