RYTTING, Editor-Publish- - -- r $1.75 I A SERIOUS PROBLEM L Box Elder county is facing a serious problem, that ues to grow more serious each month. About a month ago the writer saw a report of the County Welfare Board that was childalarming in the rate of the increased load of dependent ren being cared for by this organization, and we are indebted to David G. Nelson, jr., chairman of the board for the folcontin- f nor J operate by this slogan: "we thee Oh God for a profit." f ning their business on the theory J that to give just as little food t possible for as high a price as the I trathc will bear, a host of Utah eating houses figure that the type I of prosperity they are enjoyiL I now will never end.

Family breakdowns, (divorce and separations) are considerably higher now than at any time in the history of this county. Probable causes are hasty marriages dis-intere- st. Mr. Nelson explained what he meant, by saying that communities in this county are lacking in recreational facilities and community organizations designed to meet the needs of delinquent and underprivileged children. The Teen Canteen movement at the McKinley school in Tremonton was praised by Mr. Nelson as a splendid start toward the need of youth for proper recreation under supere vision. None of our communities have recreational directors, community civic centers or other needed facilifull-tim- ties. There is also a need, according to Mr. Nelson, for active community groups to plan for the needs of our young people and to act constructively upon the problems of some of our immediate underprivileged families. He also pointed to the fact that we sometimes shun and ostracize a young person who has been confined to the state industrial school, and by our refusal to give such a child a helping hand in his time of need, we drive him back into the path of delinquency. Chairman Nelson suggested that our communities begin now to create active youth organizations and said that Mr. Jaggi, child welfare worker at the county welfaie office would be glad to speak before any group requesting his presence and assisting them in organizing a youth program.

Experts in the business of building and equipping homes were writing articles and making speeches back in the 1930's forcasting what they called the building boom of the 1940's. They supported their predictions with sound reasoning and leaders in many equipment lines arranged to meet the demand.' A quick look at census figures, years before Pearl Harbor, would have convinced almost anybody that an unusually big share (say would 20) ofanthe U. S.to population be married bereach age tween 1940 and 1946. Patently this would call for more places to live and, true to form under free enterprise, business men began getting ready quietly to serve this market, but war interfered. Plans Not Executed. Wars always frustrate plans, and few were revised more in World War II than those of the building Priorities on materials, trades. general shortage of labor and the compelling urge for victory changed most things but the predicted need for more housing came right on schedule. It is even bigger ftan experts estimated ten years ago because war retarded building and accelerated marrying. Plans made before the war for meeting this expected peak demand are still workable plans. If industry were free today as it was then, Information on every county in the state, such as its industries, resources, activities and economic advantages has been gathered by the State Department of Publicity .and Industrial Development during the past few weeks. Every people who want homes would be getting them a great deal faster. I believe Herbert U. Nelson of the National Association of Real Estate Boards has proved that Washington bureaucracy is chiefly to blame for today's housing shortage. Facts to Remember It's an old story that America has housing aplenty, and it was always true until right lately.

The first demand for this material has been made by the County Officer Magazine, a national publication which goes into every court house in the nation, and which treats the State of Utah in its July issue. The publication will devote two pages to each county in the State, along with two pictures, all of the material of which will be prepared and furnished by the Department of Publicity and Industrial Development. A number of interesting observations were made by the Department while making a visit and study of Utah counties, some of which are as follows: that almost every community in the entire State of Utah is suffering with a housing shortage; that war prosperity seems to have given every community in the state an economic boost, the favorable financial uplift of which will be felt for many years to come; that the raising of dry farm pinto beans in San Juan County appears to be the beginning of a major industry; that the oil boom in Uintah County has doubled the population of Vernal; that Richfield's tourist price-fixin- ABSTRACTOR Established 40 Years , BRIGHAM CITY.
