(BHD Smith At noon on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 18 men of the Murray Chamber of Commerce lunched in the auditorium a t HiLand Dairy. Bill President Dunn reported on the progress of our work program. It was agreed there has been more activity during that period than any other in Chamber of Commerce history in Murray. During that period the membership has increased some twenty Traffic on State street has increased steadily in recent communities like Murray have been years. And residents of forced to watch it happen without hope of doing anything to alleviate it. Today, few people who use State as their main artery to and from jobs uptown will argue the point that rush-hotraffic is almost impossible to cope with. You literally take your life in your own hands when you nose your car out into the swirl of exhaust smoke and Fortunately, there is a move afoot which would help situation this freeway planning.

If this freeway were to become the north-sout- h link in the county, it would pass over some of the best land in our city. It would split and a bit of the worst through a promising subdivision area and pass between the Dairy. It would perhaps remove trafbuildings at fic from State, but it would most certainly be undesireable for Murrayites on the east side. Conversely, the 2nd West freeway would tour through relatively inexpensive housing in Salt Lake and South Salt Lake then utilize otherwise virtually useless property between the two railroads as it swung southward. We find ourself wondering sometimes why there can't be planning involving everyone concerned on a project of such magnitude? It is ridiculous that the right hand docs one thing; the left the opposite. In the end, unless some joint planning is done, either our neighboring metropolis to the north or its smaller environs on the south are going to be greatly disappointed by the entire project. that ur six-mon- th es. - men. Fred Faerber, treasurer, read the financial report and remarked that we are doing well and finances are in a sound condition. He expressed gratitude to those who have helped; but urged that others Join In to make the future results successful. It requires constant effort and money to succeed in our endeavors. On Thursday, Sept. 26 at 8 a.m., the board of directors had the pleasure of a visitation from Senator Arthur Watkins. He commented on many key issues which had been recent congres sional action. Many of the board memoers asxea questions and received some very good answers in regard to congressional af- Hi-La- nd What Is The Objective Of The Eagle On Local Political Level? It's an uneasy role the community newspaper plays when local politics become an issue. On one hand the paper is urged to be a spokesman for one party; on the other hand it's equally implored by another. who Of course there are the feel the newspaper should acquaint the people with the facts but not attempt to editorially dictate. In fact, many a small community newspaper has badly lowered itself in the eyes of its public by being too outspoken politicaly on the local scene. After all, many people reason, what right has any newspaper to consider itself editorially flawless and in a position to tell the people what they want in the way of leader"middle-of-the-roaders- ", ship? It strikes us that the strongest position a community news- paper can adopt is that of educating the people. In ferreting out the facts about candidates and presenting them in an unbiased and unprejudiced manner, a newspaper is helping people who might otherwise be far too busy to make an ade- of rival candidates. At the same tme, 3uate investigation can play the vital role of urging people to exercise the right given them by our constitution that of appearing at polling places and casting a ballot. But should that paper step beyond the bounds of sense and endeavor to dictate how the vote should go; should it attack one candidate or the other and seek to see its own best interests endorsed, it is putting itself in the position of no longer beng a fair and impartial voice of the community. It is, instead, adding evidence to the criticism that it is "grinding an axe" an3 may not be seeking what is best for tnc people because it has a private quarrel to settle. All of which is meant to acquaint Murrayites with the policy which the Eagle long ago adopted in local politics: It shall be the avowed purpose of this newspaper to impartially present to the public whatever facts about the various candidates arc deemed of importance in w eighing their merits. The Eagle will strive unceasingly in urging people to vote, but will not attempt to tell them now to vote. Only if evidence indicating incompetence or dishonesty of a candidate were to come into the hands of our editorial staff would the Eaijlc consider any deviation from this policy. It is, in snort, the aim of the Eaijlc to serve the people by helping them to select the type ot leadership they desire. But it is not the paper's objective to decide for those people. Armed with the facts, the American public will invariabdemonstrate its ability to distinguish right from wrong. ly It's your duty as good citizen to rcgirtcr and vote in the Primary Election during the month of October. Your vote is vital and your opinion is worthy of lciruj expressed both in strcctcorncr conversation and on the ballot at your polling place. In a free nation, the risht of the vote is one you cannot afford to forcsakc. Take an interest in your community and help in selecting its leaders! STEADS'!

Amott) During the last few days our mail carriers left in each mail box a small printed form bear large ing a number green which is your postal delivery zone number. This postal form shows the proper way of using your particular zone number in your return address as well as the delivery zone number of vour correspondent if he is privilged to have a zone number. Only approximately 125 of the larger cities In the United States have been permitted to use the delivery zone system and we solicit your full cooperation In its usuage In Salt Lake City, so that we may gain those advantages which it affords. As communities like ours grow and new streets with new names appear on mall one can easily see how helpful a zone number can be to mail distributors and especially new employees. Cities having different streets with the same or similar name will have more efficient and prompt mall delivery If zone numbers are Included, as part of the address. We urge you to have your zone number included in your printed letter heads and envelopes and please advise all correspondents to use this number when addressing mall to you. If you have questions regarding your delivery zone number or any other postal matter we shall be pleased to give you any assistance possible. "fVJjj 4290 West 5540 South What Ho, Shakespeare?

Editor Asks Pertinent Question On Cost of Education for Students (From the Lincoln, Nebr., Journal) Fortune Magazine has noted that college student fees are now at least double what they were in 1940. That with a generally increased cost of living is posing a most serious problem. Education is becoming less accessible to the rank and file at a time when the nation urgently needs far more highly trained people. The question is how shall the cost be met and by whom? States and towns have struggled with the job by providing educational structures and faculties but the federal government has thus far been withheld from lending aid. Nothing unusual has developed to meet the more critical problem or seeing an adequate number of capable students through the schools. This in the end will be the problem after all the husk has been removed. Fortune Magazine suggests massive expansion of loan funds whereby a student can get all the money he needs to supplement whatever he had. There is certainly a place for educational loans. The practice has been established for many years. There is, of course, a general reluctance to going into debt substantially for an education. Repayment is difficult for young people whose early post college years bring other expenses such as homemaking. It may be argued that debt nowadays are commonplace for other thangs than education. That still doesn't justify a wholesale bargaining away of the future because debt, albiet an excellent device under certain conditions, is not a practice that should become too comfortable. fairs.
