John McCrae The prophets of gloom and doom, along the banks of the Potomac and elsewhere throughout the nation, seem to be getting more than a little nervous because their predictions aren't coming true. The see the economy making the transition from war to peace with out too much difficulty they note that the Eisenhower administration appears to be moving steadily forward on an economic program designed to free business from government interference and thereby to stimulate the kind of economy that will bring about genuine full employment, not only during this year but in the years to come. In other words and to the confounding of the socialistic schem-eis-liiadministration is working toward effecting a permanent cure for unemployment, rather than attempting to rub a little snake-oi- l on the symptoms of it. Fact of the matter is, as Washington observers are pointing out, that average employment in the first three months of this year was 60 million men and women which, as Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey notes, is the highest number of people employed during that period of the year in any year in our history except for the first three months of last year following President Eisenhower's election. c West Jordan Unit No. 119, American Legion Auxiliary Elects New Officer Slate Ofiicers of the year 1954-55- , were recently elected at the monthly meeting of the Unit No. 119, American Legion Auxiliary, West Jordan.

The range is presently being used for its primary purpose by the Midvale city police, Salt Lake City police, state highway patrolmen, Salt Lake County deputy sheriffs and State Prison guards.

POPPY DAY IN WEST JORDAN Marve Jensen, Mayor of West Jordan, Thursday issued a proclamation declaring "Poppy Day" in West Jordan Saturday, when members of the L.G.L American Legion Auxiliary will sell poppies. HONOR ROLL Ntw Subicribtrs Mrs Paul Kuhni, Sandy James Snell, Sandy Leo bowed my head reverently with tha rest of my classmates during the "moment of ailvnee" in tribute to our aoldier-deathen seeing Old Glory waving from the flag pole on the lawn of our Alma Mater, I stood tiptoe upon dream and thought, "What a lucky girl you are to be born under that flag, for you can bo what you will f to bet You are an American." Then a strange thing happened. The flag seemed to be a living thing with a aoul. I heard the silent singing of Its stars on its blue ; of truth, and listening, my soul caught this refrain: "I am the symbol of America, and America is mora than its hills and prairies with their herds and fields of grain; more than its pulsing cities, its mines and its mills . . . America Is you and you and you ..and God. "I am the symbol of the homes, the churches, schools, enterprises, and the kingly commoners of America. "I represent your heritage from the past. Look at me and hear the In the Immortal march for freedom; fel tramping of aoldier-fce- t within your hearts the "Spirit of 76'; see the footprints In the snow at Valley Forge; the great, gaunt commoner on his knees in prayer, and the crimson stain, spreading, that meant life was ebbing from his great heart; see the crosses above our youth, martyrs to freedom in recent wars. Look agnin snd behold lilies blooming where men gave life for man; listen and hear the joyous dancing footsteps of those ' yet unborn. "Behold the Open Gate, before which stand weary pilgrims: children with eyes empty of laughter; youth burdened with the weight of dead dreams; tho cider ones their eyes but burned out embers, hands caressing gaunt throats-tha- t too long have felt their bone-lealeash of fear. See their eyes relight with hope as they the choking view the green acres of democracy and reverently enter the gate of 9! d, n America." i ' Suddenly I knew: The flag Is an emblem of freedom, protection, Justice, honor, sacrifice, opportunity to all and love for country, fcllowman and God. It is the symbol, not only of our heritage from the past but of the future. I knew that It Is up to me to help America continue to mean to coming generations what it means to me today; that every right has its concomitant duty, that I must train myself to be sble to choose leaders wiwly and judge their performance with honesty and understanding. I must fight oppression, intolerance, injustice snd keep the land free of the footprints of communism. I must guard the rights of others as jealously as I do my own, and recognize ' In every man a brother.' I looked our beneath the at peaceful flag waving serenely Again country sky and reverently I breathed, "I low much you stand fori" Was I dreaming or did I hear, 'The earth a great DEMOCRACY OF LOVE!"
