He looked reverently skyward and said, "Father, I'd rather do it myself." We'd guess that morale on the USS Preble is in pretty A. M. Bowen Jr., good shape. Commander of the vessel, sends periodic letters to parents of the men aboard his ship, telling of important and unimport- ant things that happen while they are at sea. Mrs. Ellen Butler, mother of Doyle A. Lowder, who is serving aboard the USS Preble, recently received one of the letters, telling of the crew having a couple of days in Hong Kong before returning to San 0 Diego after 158 days and miles aiding our troops in Vet Nam. Battle stations were manned 92 times on the trip, and 1654 rounds of ammunition were fired, "some for practice and some at Viet Cong posi40,-50- tions." Some other statistics cooks prepared 151,000 . . .the meals, using 10 tons of boneless beef, 12,000 loaves of bread, 72,000 fresh eggs, and 3.1 tons of coffee, and the engineers "made 3.6 million gallons of fresh water." During the cruise the Preble rescued a three-ma- n helicopter crew which made a forced landing 18 miles from the ship, and "shared in" several other rescues. While it was a form letter, mailed to parents and wives of all personnel under Commander Bowen, it was almost like a personal letter, and certainly insures top morale among the men who man the destroyer USS Preble. Physical culture "studios" thrive on gals who have too much of everything. Quite a number of years ago we attended a State Press convention, with Senator Joe McCarthy as one of the speakers. Senator McCarthy, who was to meet the then Utah Governor J. Bracken Lee, was told that "the best thing about" J. Brack was his lovely wife. We met for the first time our new (after reapportionment) Congressman David King, and we think many others who attended the dinner Tuesday evening at the Hong Kong will feel the same description might the "best thing apply about'' Dave King is his lovely and charming wife Rosalie. We got a special chuckle when she reached out and signaledby yanking his coattail a couple of times that he had talked long enough. ...

At the regular meeting Monday evening, Mrs. Lillian Anderson, Civil Defense chairman, reported that sale of U S Savings Stamps at the elementary school was "lagging," but students participating are enthusiastic about the program. A new member. Mrs. Lola Banks, was reported by Mrs. Naomi Hughes, membership chairman, and President Bonnie Friar named Mrs. Letha Smyth and Mrs. Patricia Williams to Christmas plan the annual party, scheduled for Dec. 20. MELVIN OWENS, 'WINGS FOR SPEAKS TO CHRIST' PASTOR, KILLED IN CRASH MILFORD DEMOS A group of enthusiastic Democrats and a few Republicans met at the Hong Kong Cafe Tuesday eve-nnto welcome Congressman David S. King on his first political tour of the outlying areas of his new district. Under the reapportionment act passed by the last Utah State Legislature, Congressman King now represents the southern portion of the state, including Beaver County. The Congressman's wife, Mrs. Rosalie King, introduced him, mentioning that he is the son of Utah's first Representative in Congress, who also served as United State Senator from Utah for 24 years. Congressman King touched on several controversial matters, refuting the charge that the last Congress was a "rubber stamp" Congress, made light of charges of "arm twisting" by President Johnson, and labeled the last Congress as a "good" Congress which passed a record amount of "good" legislation. g He spent considerable time discussing efforts to repeal Secy of the tion 14-Act, which gives states the right to enact legislation pro"closed" or union hibiting shops. Congressman King voted for repeal of the section. He said the "heart of 14-is really Hvhat Is the attitude toward labor unions.' I am told that the majority of the people are not 'sold' on labor unions. I consider labor unions necessary . . they are a great bulwark against socialism and communism. Labor unions want to work out their own problems without government interference." On reapportionment, the congressman said he did not fully approve of the "one man one vote" rule, but felt states should have the right, if a majority of the voters approved, to apportion one house of their legislature on other than a poDulation basis. On other matters: "Our course in Viet Nam is right The advance of communism in Asia and the world has to be stopped .and the United States is the one nation that can stop them. No one is happy with war, but I we must see no alternative stand by our commitments." "I am going to Viet Nam to learn if the American public is being told the 'facts' or whether the news is being censored and 'managed'." "I proudly wear this little lapel flag, furnished by The American Legion, to show my suport of our nation's efforts in Viet Nam." He deplored the "clowns" who are burning draft cards and "invading the White House", however, "They have a right to protest if they think we are wrong, but their methods are wrong. Their methods are ludicrous. This nation IS at war. We are losing planes, our men are shedding blood and being killed. Our nation now needs the help of all Americans. Viet Nam is a proving ground for the communist technique of sending infiltrators into a country they seek to dominate, several years before actual invasion, and they are there to spread the cancer of communism. When the communists are ready to invade, the infiltrators and terrorists are used as a nucleus, inciting others and making the insurrection seem a 'popular uprising' when in reality only a few are leading the many. If they are successful in Viet Nam, the same technique will be used throughout all of B Taft-Hartle- B . ... Asia."

Melvin Owens, 22 year old "Wings for Christ" pastor, who was killed when his light plane crashed near New Harmony Sunday afternoon. The "Wings for Christ" group of flying pastors have been serving the Milford Baptist Church since August, 1963. Rev. Owens, who joined the organization in June, 1965, as preacher and pilot, had left three ministers at Hurricane before flying to Milford to preach at the local church. He left at 1:45 to return to Hurricane, and a few minutes later filed a flight plan with the Cedar City FAA. Ten minutes later, when Cedar City attempted to advise him that he should turn back because of heavy overcast, they were unable to reach him. The plane was spotted Monday by CAP pilot Art Wells of Cedar City, and a ground party reached the scene at 5:30 p. m. Monday. Mr. Owens was found dead on his knees, near the wreckage. His Bible had fallen open between him and the plane. It is believed he was attempting a turn toward Cedar City when his plane nicked a hill on the desert about 25 miles north of the Arizona border. The plane skidded 250 feet, gutting itself on the hillside and crumpling its wings. Only the tail section remained intact. Rev. Owens was hurled 150 feet from the plane. Funeral services were conducted Thursday in Phoenix, of Ariz., the headquarters "Wings for Christ" organization, with all members of the Wings for Christ as honorary pallbearers. "Wings for Christ" is a flying missionary group founded by Keith Hull of Phoenix in 1961. Purpose of the organization can be summed up by quoting one clause of their constitution: "In order to reach and help isolated Southern Baptist Churches to grow in Christ, we combine our talents, time and interest to carry out this purpose through the means of aviation." Rev. Owens graduated from Grand Canyon College in Phoenix in 1963. He was a sixth grade teacher in a Phoenix elementary school. He is survived by his wife, Virginia; a son, Danny, 20, and a daughter, Diane, 18. Both are students at Grand Canyon Mil-for- 200-fo- BEAVER MAN MOVE MONDAY MILFORD CALL d ot The new Milford City Office and Police Station has been completed by the Valley Builders, and office equipment is from the being transferred temporary quarters in the Kirk Realty Office to the new building.

We can only deplore the fact that it is used in so many instances by those who reap the multitudes of benefits of our form of democracy (yet seek to destroy it) as a stone wall which our law enforcement agencies have been unable to breach.
