Show THE BEAVER PRESS Thursday, September Guest Editorial Dell Holllngshead editorial it was suggested that candidates for public office, the electorate and the media could all do more to make campaigns more meaningful and worthwhile events. Of the three, it stands to reason that the role played by the candidate is the most crucial; since it is he who, if elected, will ultimately determine the course government will take. Ideally, a candidate would be an individual whose sole reason for wanting to hold office is to render public service, and free from all personel or ambition as well as the influence of all special interests. Since in all ' probability such a person exists only in the most fanciful dreams of the philosopher, perhaps it is rather unrealistic to expect mere mortals to attain such purity of In last weeks "Seems Like Only Yesterday" Local News, Beaver City .

Vacation : g intent. activities. These are but a few of many issues confronting the citizens of this county. And as citizens we have every right to expect public servants to possess the necessary compotence and character to deal with them in an effective and forthright manner. It is up to the candidates to demonstrate that they have what it takes. I trust that they will make a determined effort to do so during the course of the present campaign. It is, nevertheless, quite realistic to expect unquestioned honesty and complete integrity of those who seek public office. These two qualities along with at least a workable knowledge of the role and function of city and county government ought to be demanded of all who wish to I. aw- ' be a dynamic, well informed individual, capable of grasping the complexities and scope of the many issues confronting local, state and national government. And he should be sufficiently articulate to be able to communicate his feelings and points of view to the electorate. A candidate should also realize that once elected it is neither his role nor his responsibility to attempt to please all of the people all of the time. To try to do so will only render him ineffective as a public servant, and impede the legislative process. While there is a need for compromise and diplomacy if matters of government are to be delt with efficiently, there is as great a need for elected officials who understand and act in their role as advocates of the people. To often, I am afraid, our elected officials either neglect or give only token consideration to the real needs of the people, while they assume duties and responsi-bilite- s that could best be left to others. No doubt some will argue that we in Beaver County are somehow insulated from the problems c confronting the rest of the nation, and dismiss this article as nothng more than an exercise in wistful thinking. However, I would sug- gest that there are a number of issues currently facing county government that must be met head on by capable and determined officials if they are to be resolved. Among others, we need candidates and public officials who will address themselves to such issues as the adoption of a comprehensive and workable zoning ordinance and building code for the county. Individuals who will take a stand on the future participation of the county in the Five County Organization and other state and federally backed programs. We need candidates who are prepared and able to stand up to state and federal bureaucracies, and work to minimize the impace of their activities on the economy and quality of life in Beaver County. We need candidates who will address themselves to unpopular and controversial issues.

That proposition would prohibit the addition of "foundation or other medications" to the public water supplies. Charles W. Akerlow of Salt Lake City has been elected chairman of the committee which is composed of representatives of the dental and medical societies, several women's groups and from citizens many throughout Utah. Known as "Citizens for Good Health" the committee promises a vigorous campaign to defeat the referendum which Akerlow calls "a poorly drafted and potentially dangerous proposition." "We plan to campaign against this issue on two fronts.. The first is that the wording of the referendum clearly intends not only to prohibit flouride but also to remove chlorine and other purifiers presently used from our drinking water.
