Show Jji rv: ,TKE LEADER TREMONTON. UTAH Gwc (Opinion October 26, 1967 The Air Is No Longer Free and damaged by your thoughtlessness. Second, the air we breathe, which we always thought of as free, no longer is free. In years to come it will cost us dearly. Already our nation's great cities are wrestling with problems of air pollution, and in the not too distant future it will be a problem we too, will have to face. Why not take measures today to correct this situation before it gets too big for us to handle? If we deal with it little by little the road will be much easier. Let's learn from experience of others to insure that it won't happen to us. We urge you to tell the mayor and council that you approve of the ordinance when you go to the polls Nov. The voters of Tremonton will have an opportunity to tell the mayor and city council by ballot at the municipal election Nov. 7 whether they are for or against trash burning within the city limits. Our city officials want you to tell them whether or not you want them to adopt an ordinance which condemns all incinerators in the city limits and prohibits all burning except that which is done by the fire department. Before you make up your mind on the question, we want you to set aside all previous notions or prejudices concerning private burning and consider all aspects of this problem. First, burning of any kind, particularly wet garbage creates an almost intolerable nuisance for your neighbors. The pungent smoke drifts into their homes and makes life extremely unpleasant. Ashes and soot get into furniture, carpets, clothing and food creating a sanitary problem. Their washings hung on the clothes lines to dry are many times spotted 7. It's not too early, either, for the city fathers to look into the possibility of an incinerator plant for the disposal of the community's refuse. This eventually wil' be standard proceed-urfor all communities, and now is the time for us to begin looking into the project. e Everyone May Have His Say however, withhold the writer's name if he requests it. There is a feeling among some of our readers that a letter writer who wishes his name withheld is cowardly and lacks the courage of his convictions, but we feel that any person who is willing to reveal his name to the editor possesses the intestinal fortitude to justify its publication. This might be a good time for us to stop and take a good look at ourselves. After we make a thorough analysis of our own bigotry, we might better understand why some may hesitate to state their views publicly because of a fear or recrimination. This paper has been receiving some criticism for publishing a letter which was critical of the present city administration. Many believed the letter was in bad taste, and that we exercised bad taste in allowing it to appear in our pages. It is the policy of this paper not to deny the opportunity for any individual or group to express their opinion on any subject of public interest, and we believe we were in keeping with that policy by publishing that letter. We did not consider it in bad taste, because nowhere was there an attack against a person's character or integrity. No one was mentioned by name, and only antity called the ' "Mayor and City Council-- was criticized. Public officials always are "fair game" and should be ready to stand or fall under the scrutiny of their constituents. Many of our critics were under the impression that the letter was unsigned. This is not true. On several occasions we have made it clear that every letter which appears in the Leader must be signed. We will, ettex& LETTER UNSIGNED We have on our desk an excellent letter dealing with our stand on the pay raise of the county commissioners and discussing the pay scale of the county road crew. We would like to publish the letter, but it is unsigned. If the writer will call at the office and affix his signature, it will be published in the next issue. to the Cdite Takes Issue Dear Editor: and the two was pleased to see so much interest in the coming election, evidenced by the large attendance nt the nominating meetings This type of activity usually assure us of qualified candidates. I sincerely believe we have good candidates to choose from on election day. However, I must take issue with anyone who resorts to an unsigned letter to critize and call for the resignation of our present Mayor I refer to the unsigned letter to the editor requesting the resignation of our present City council. These men are respectable, honest, conscientious individuals who were elected by popular ballot. At the time they took office they represented the voter's choice. To my knowledge, not one of the three aspired to the position, but was called upon by friends and hold-ove- r council-men- . I Bad Tasle Dear Editor: This is in rebuttal to a letter to the editor that appeared in last week's paper. I'm referring to the one titled "People Aroused". This letter appeared in your newspaper with no signature: and when I questioned your office. I was unable to obtain the name of this individual. I feel that for you to print without a sigsuch a letter nature is in bad tasle. I don't believe that free speech should entitle anyone to publicly attack a person or persons and remain anonymous. I IxMieve in free but this speech for everyone does not give us the right to not be responsible for what we say. I urge that the paper reconsider this policy The writer of the letter states that there were two reasons for the large turnout at the nomination meetings. I agree with his second reason, that the publicity in your paper helped. I think that is true: however, this is the only part of the letter that I agree with. I don't think the people are as unhappy with the city council as the writer seems to think they are. I was at the meeting and I think the Mayor and City Council have done a good job. I wonder if this person has taken his complaints to the city council. I doubt it If you want any number of voters to take you seriously you have to tell them not only what you are against, but what you are for. specifically and in detail. I am for responsible people who will express their views in public and take an interest in city government, and then are not afraid to sign their names and say, 'this is what I stand for'. We have enough secret organizations already trying to tear at our government. Let's atand bchirtf it and trv to support and improve it a little. Dale Schwendiman neighbors to fulfil his civic duty which. I believe, each is doing to the best of his ability. If we. as citizens of the community, disapprove of the actions of our city council, we have the right to appear and tell them so in any city council meeting. If they fail to live up to our expectations, we have the right to relieve them of their duties by voting them out of office. City councils recognize the futility of trying to please everyone. They can only continue to do what they think is best for the majority of the people. A poison pen letter the present city discourages council and all who might be asked to run for public office in the future. I am a firm believer in constructive criticism and I admire courage and sound judgment, but last week's unsigned letter to the editor, in my opinion, was completely void of all three. I would like to believe that the person who wrote the "People Aroused" letter did so in a moment of anger and is now in the process of writing an apology for publication in our paper.

MORGAN Editor and Publisher High Team Seres By f.X'-- MORG Grandma's f:' l a Now That We're Awake, Lei's Move in opposition to the present I come from a large family, and, as in most families, then' was a certain amount of con flict among the children. Com petition, for various reasons, was quite keen, and this competition sometimes erupted into rather violent battles, which caused Dad on many occasions to remark, "Someday you're going to kill each other." Somehow we managed to survive our family warfare with no serious injury, and we are all alive and well today. The thing I recall most vividly about our family relationship was that, although we fought fiercely among ourselves, an outsider would risk the wrath of the entire family if he dared pick on one of us. The City of Tremonton like a family and its human interrelations much resemble those of a typical house hold. We squabble frequently among ourselves. We look at our faults and too often crit: cize our neighbors, but let an outsider do the same, and we are up in arms and ready to defend our honor. A letter to the editor last week from a reader who wished his name withheld for personal reasons, roundly criticized tin Mayor and City Council and suggested a wholesale resigna tion in favor of the current candidates. The rather extreme position of the writer aroused the indignation of our "family" and brought a host of loyal members to the defense of the city fathers. I think the reaction was good. Since my arrival in the community i have noted a general feeling of apathy toward these public servants men who serve only through their desire to do something for the community and not for personal gain It took a strong letter of opposition to make the people realize what a good job these men were doing. This grounds well of support and praise more than compensated for the one voice ad- ministration. This one incident has been the spark which has ignited the dormant powder of public awar-ness- . We know now our citizens take pride in their community and are interested in its welfare. Let's fan this spark into a roaring blaze of action with the power we know we have and move on to bigger and better things. A better community is everybody's business. Are you willing to meet the challenge?
