Show By According to latest plans of the county highway advisory commitf tee, the expressway through south Salt Lake county is being postponed until "public sentiment on the selection of the route can be gauged." A special five-macommittee including Mayor Henry Beckstead of Midvale, also Ray P Greenwood, county commissioner; J Clifford Hanson, Murray mayor; William T South, South Salt Lake city manager, and A R Mickelsen, Draper, comprise the group which will endeavor to ascertain public sentiment regarding the location of the $20,000,000 truck highway. The proposed route would bypass South Salt Lake on approximately 3rd West street, bisecting Murray in the area of the old smelter and Midvale approximately a mile west of State street. Below Midvale it would swing east, joining State street (U.S. 91) near the Draper crossroads. As far as we are able to figure Midvale It, the route through would parallel the Rio Grande tracks on the east side. MM 5 H. C. B.

Valuable cargo had to be removed from the beach to outlying ships. If left behind, the cargo would have become more valuable to the enemy. As at Dunkirk, every floatable craft sampan, junk and barge manned by South Korean crews was employed to carry out the equipment to the crescent of ships waiting with empty holds. The plan was a good one, except that the native crews couldn't read and would have been helpless in trying to find the right ships. The answer to that was as simple as the plan. Men from the Algol qualified in handling small craft were placed on board as skippers of the assorted vessels of the makeshift fleet. Under their direction, the equipment moved smoothly out from under the Communist cltches.

Friday, March 2, 1951 "When the Red Cross volunteer knocks at your door and asks for a contribution to the 1951 fund, give him welcome and a contribution because he or she will be giving their time to the cause as well as a contribution," says W C ("Bill") Roderick and A L Butter-field- , who have been named of the Red Cross fund drive in South Salt Lake county. Mr Roderick, Midvale distributor for Utah Oil, and A L Butter- field, owner and sales manager of Butterfield Motor Co., in Riverton, reported that the drive opens today. "These vounteer workers are the ones who make it possible for the Red Cross to do so much with so little," they report, "and there's tremendous job to be done this year." The 1951 drive opens March 1 and runs through March 31. During that time the 2700 volunteer workers who will give so freely of their time and energies hope to reach the goal of $135,377 that has been set up for Salt Lake county. With that money the Red Cross will be able to carry on its many, many mercy services in Salt Lake county, help the national cause and go into the big new assignments offered as a result of the undeclared war in Korea. The building up of a big blood bank for civilian as well as military use and the training of hundreds of new first aid workers as just a part of the new civilian defense program are two important new projects on the Red Cross agenda this year. Bluffdale Gives Party For Service Man A party honoring Bobby Turner, son of Mr & Mrs Samuel Turner, was given Monday evening of last ward chapel, week at Bluffdale FREEDOM ... IS NOT FREE By Jeanne Reynolds 9th Grade, Midvale School We say that freedom is free. But is it really? If so, why do we have fathers, brothers, sons and friends on the battle fields fighting today? Yes, they are fighting so that we may keep our freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and freedom of free assembly, are just a few of the many freedoms that the American people enjoy. But some of us take them all for grant-eand are not thankful for them. This endangers our liberty. Some people say that people aren't important, but its the millions of votes of people like us that decide whether we have a good or bad government We are able to vote any way we please. No one is sticking a gun in our ribs the way thy do in the Planned Economies. Americas stre n g t h rises from the people. It was no accident that America has gained the highest living standards in the world, that we use half the world's llephones, three-fourt- h of the world's automobiles, half the world's radios, and of the world's crude oiL Free economy is the answer. Like an atom splitting, freedom has released the energy of millions of people. Americans began willingly working harder, thought more distinctly, took more chances with their money, and made great- -' cr gains. That was what happened yesterday, but what about tomorrow? Tomorrow depends on us! Our freedom depends on how well we remember the lessons of history. Whether we have to fight to keep our freedom, or whether we do it peacefully and work together. The greatest freedom lies in the future. good American citizen will always: "Watch out for big talk." "Keep informed on issues of the day." "Register and vote thoughtfully." "Guard his freedom and freedoms of others." "Help others to realize that freedom is not free." d, two-thir- ds prior to Bobby's leaving for San Diego, Calif., to enter the navy.
