Show Universal Microfilm Corp; 111 Piorpont Ave. PRESS TIME By George For the past three weeks I have been reading and studying a pamphlet I received from Mr. George Frost of the ARA. The name of the pamphlet ts "Compilation of Documents on Public Works and Economy Development" it was prepared by the Committee on Public Works of the United States Senate and is dated April 14, 1965. In it is a capsule history of the work of the ARA program and the Accelorated Public Works program and, most important, a copy of a bill which is before the Congress which will set up and authorize funds for the Federal Agency which will take over on July 1 when ARA goes out of business. In the President's letter of transmittal to the Congress, he says that an almost entirely new concept will be followed, new and more flexible rules will be made. Two or more states can join together to work on development projects where Btogle Copy 10c Student Speakers said: First, we will devote maxi-mueffort to providing the conditions under which our private enterprise system can provide jobs and increased income.

Beaver County is a Depressed Area. It has been so designated for several years. We have already done much of the work that must be done in order to gain entitlement to Federal aid as a depressed area. An overall economic development plan has been filed with the Department of Congress and has been approved. (That was done quite some time ago). Recently, I had occasion to be of some small help in the preparation of an application which was made by the Board of Education for federal help act for under the a community youth program. When I say that my part in making that application was small I mean it was really very small. It amounted to attending four meetings in all or about six hours of my time. The final application was some 40 pages long and was made in about thirty copies. To make It took tlmost the complete time of a anti-pover- ty Jill Hollingshead, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arshel Hollingshead, will speak on the theme, "A Man Who Believes He Can Stand on Any Height He May Have Risen To, Doesn't Understand The Situation." Michael Riley, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Riley, will speak on "Civilization is States of Mind; the More Good States of Mind One Has, the More Civilized He Is." Jeannie Yardley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace D. Yard-lewill speak on "The Journey of a Thousand Miles Starts With a Single Step." The class will be presented by Principal Mel W.

Commncement Congressman King . 10-- av. 110 106 105 109 117 125 131 1964 80 94 112 144 150 150 144 1965 47 48 55 64 88 117 126 man with a master's degree as well as access to office help for three weeks of steady work and then part time for another two weeks or more. That application Is somewhere in the miles of red tape which are known as processing in that war on poverty program. Perhaps with this much explanation, you can begin to see the problem faced in this county. On the north and south we have Iron and Millard counties. Neither of them are depressed areas, so if we are to join with another county and have a cooperative effort, we must either look to the west into Nevada or to the east into Piute County. I don't know whether White Pine County In Nevada is a depressed area and, other than developing of roads etc., in the canyon, I can't see much that we have for a common effort with our neighbors on 89. So, if we are to take advantage of the programs for industrial development under this new legislation, at least as far as I can tell, we are going to have to make the effort on our own. Perhaps you don't feel that industrial development is a proper place for spending tax dollars, that is neither here nor there. The program Is going to become the law of the land and we are going to pay our share of the cost and to take advantage of the program we have a volunteer organization known as the Beaver County Industrial Development Committee without money to even hire secretarial help to answer letters never mind fill out y, On The Dodd Bill It's plain that the Utah public doesn't like the Dodd Bill the Connecticut Senator's bill to tightly police the sale and ownership of firearms. And what's more, said Congressman King, I don't like it either. ,In the case of Utah, the legislation just is not needed. On the other hand, it would be a big handycap to many Utah sportsmen, particularly those who have a hobby of trad ing in firearms and ammunition. This is an administration bill. The motives are the best. It's chiaf aim is to bring the criminal gun traffic under control, by putting a tight lid on mail order sr.les of weapons and by outlawing the sale of hand arms in any state to residents of other states. But it goes too far,- in asking an annual $100 license fee for anyone who trades in guns. It has other unsavory Implications. It threatens to trtd upon the individual's right to protect his castle. Says Congressman King, the administration will have to look elsewhere for 'yes' votes on this measure. The gun mail has been the big "surprise" in the annual Congressional letter derby at least, in this office. This mail has run at least three to one ahead of the volume on medicare, federal aid or any to schools, tax cuts of the other big issues that a congressman might expect to lead the field. And it's still pouring in. Whoever said the hunter and the fisherman have no interest in public affairs. and They're alarmed now I don't blame them. (Ed. note: Where were our Congressmen and Senators hiding when dear Lyndon put his $7 "lousy sticker law" through? Where were they when regulations were set up so that our local school board has to show each and every federal agency that they are not only complying with but also enforcing the various sections of the Civil Rights act or lose their uniform school funds.?) fire-engi- The University of Utah is pleased to announce Lynn S.

The annual Poppy day, sponsored by the Am. Leagion Auxiliary, is a fitting tribute to those who died defending the way of life in which all true Americans believe so fervently. Everyone of us, grate ful for the privilege of our freedom of speech, our freedom to do as we believe best, our freedom to speak out against injustice, our freedom to declare our allegiance to those things in which we believe, should wear a poppy on this special day of tribute to our fallen defenders in two World Wars and the Korean conflict. It is appropriate that the sym bol we wear as a visible token of our tribute to those who gave their lives on the battMield for those ideals in which we all beleive, should be fashioned by the disabled veterans who survived tnse mighty conflicts. The small red flowers, shaped by the hands of these veterans from countless yards of paper and wire, carry a many faceted message of gratitude to those who have served so well in the past. The coin boxes which all volunteers carry offer another means of showing our appreciation of those veterans who are Dimes and dollars disabled. given on this day are a major source of support of a continuing program of rehabilitation and child welfare directed by the Auxiliary. Won't you be looking for a volunteer worker and please buy and wear a veteran made poppy. .' Fishing Season Opens Saturday, May 29th Utah's general fishing season opens May 29th and the forecast is for more than 225,000 licensed anglers to be afield during this outdoor event which continues through November 30 Most will be afield for the opening weekend, and the Department of Fish and Game urges anglers to get their license before the last minute rush. Nearly 500 license agents dispense fish and game licenses throughout the State. Each carries the several types of licenses and is ready to serve the public at all times. The law requires that every person twelve years of age and older must possess and visibly display a proper license whenever afield. Department records show many arrests are made each year for fishing without a license, being improperly licensed or using another persons license. Again the reminder to beat the rush by buying a license before the last minute, and then be sure you take it with you. Seminary Cleanup On 'B' Day, students from the High School as well as the Semi nary joined together in spring clean-uThey planted thirty-thre- e shrubs and trees to accentu ate the beauty of the new addition to the Seminary building.
