Show IO 11) I By mm H. C. B. Because of a heavy volume of news and advertising this week, Ye Ed will have to cut this column of tripe to the minimum. This should be good news to our readers. "A Friendly Newspaper" Published Every Friday at Midvale, Utah g Only a few days remain for retail merchants to file their OPS price charts with the bureaucrats. For the information of the business houses, we have a large stock of pricing charts for sale. The big news this week is who is receiving the kind of welcome that he richly deserves. His statement that he will not enter politics was a bombshell to those politicians who have been pushing him for president. is one of America's greatest heroes, a great military genius, and the people owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude for his successful prosecution of two wars. However, experience has proven that great soldiers do not and we make great presidents, think that the general realizes this. Besides, at 71 years of age, MacArthur needs a rest, not the nightmare which is bound to follow Truman's successor.

Kobe grew up under the Nazi tyranny, which, he said, prevented him from getting an education, He was one of a handful of Ger man students who won university scholarships in the United States. His aim, he said, is to learn the American Way of life and to take it back to the people of Germany. The main reason why German people do not favor the rearmament of their country is the fear that the army might come under the rule of the old German militaristic clique, and another war of conquest might be started. In speaking of Russia, Kobe said that the Soviets have the most perfect and clever propaganda system in the world, and that conditions behind the iron curtain are worse than in any capitalistic nation. There are only two classes under Communism the common people, who have it little better than slaves, and the ruling class, which has everything. The speaker was introduced by Arnold Troester, member of the club program committee. It was announced that 12 couples from the Midvale club will attend the annual art banquet at Spring-vill- e Saturday night, sponsored by the Springville Kiwanis club. Ray Ertmann was elected as a member of the board of directors to fill the unexpired term of Darol Jex, who recently moved to Logan. Volume XVII J. C.

C. Penney store in Midvale, Wednesday, when he was a welcome visitor here. During his two hour stay in Midvale, Mr Penney inspected the two store building, constructed years ago and considered one of the finest in the west, and also greeted many friends and customers. Mr. Penney was favorably impressed with the local store, and remarked that it was an asset to the company as well as to this community. He voiced an opinion that the store would grow and prosper, and attract more business to Midvale. "It is stores like this that entice people to trade at home, rather than driving through heavy traffic to the big city," said Mr Penney. "The Midvale store has already justified the large investment we have made here, and we anticipate that it will be one of our largest stores in Utah in volume of business within the next few years."
