Show Bye Line by Jensen "We'll Be Right Behind You!" An Honor, Very Dedicated to the Progress And Growth of Central Utah HERALD, 34-- THE Page Much Appreciated Sunday, March Utah o, friendly are our communities here in Central Utah? Occasionally you see the claim of friendliness in such slogans as "the friendly school" or "the friendly city." Indeed, we believe that most people in the am are inclined to friendliness. But what about the degree? Are we gaining ground or losing? One In a I'd have to admit that I'm not an emotional guy. A sentimental slob perhaps, but not too emotional. Oh, mere are some things that arouse my emotions and possibly to a large extent. But generally shaking, I'm not a great one to get emotionally involved. ( As Double N will testify.) However, this past week I had an experience that moved my emotions to an all ti ie high when the Provo Exchange Club saw fit to bestow upon me, their "Book of Golden Deeds" award. All I could think of was, "Why me when there are so many other people in this community who deserve the award more than I." one that I shall It wac indeed a very taoving' experience cherish the rest of my life. speak, at least smile.

Goldsmith WASHINGTON Republican strategists note with interest that the recent mass mailing of a speech by Sen. Edmund G. included campus editors and Muskie, officers of student groups among some 9,000 very important politicians. The Muskie speech, delivered in Philadelphia, was one in which the winter-boo- k favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination put himself on record in favor of a complete Vietnam withdrawal by the end of next year. GOP politicos were not surprised that Muskie's campaign organization wanted to get that message across to youth groups. Muskie's youth coalition is headed by Lanay Davis, a veteran il the who "dump LBJ" movement in 1967-6later refused to support Hubert Humphrey in the presidential campaign. He is a June 1970 graduate of the Yale University Law School. Davis has said he joined the Muskie campaign to spread his views on the war as much as to help defeat President Nixon. He plans to recruit young Muskie campvgners, who come, for the most part, from the 1968 campaign of former Sen. Eugene J. Mcrather than "old-gjarCarthy, types." Consequently, the inclusion of influential young people on that Muskie, Mass., mailing list fits neatly into the Davis conception of a youth coalition for Muskie. It is abo being viewed as a step-u- p in wholly expected Muskie's drive to interest youth in his campaign for the White House. NOT ONLY COLLEGES The paid staff, which is quartered in a downtown office building separate from the Senator's office, now numbers more than 40. Two of them are involved mostly in youth activities. ed Daley-Humphr- Muskie-for-Preside- - UZJ At this early stage of the campaign, the youth emphasis is on organization. August is said to be the deadline for setting up a Muskie youth group in each state to work toward formation of local affiliates. Davis himself has been active in this work, notah'y in meetings with college students in California. However, the Muskie ycuth effort is not to be aimed wholly at college youth. Young factory workers, office workers and of all sorts are to be contacted and, where possible, registered at once under the applicable local regulations. With millions of young people newly eligible to vote in 1972, voter registration will be a major part of the Muskie youth activity, anrt the Muskie organization is reported ready inand willing to join in all such eiforts to get young drives cluding people on the voter rolls by election day. non-stude- Would you believe there's a United States Senator from Indiana whose last name is Bayh and is pronounced Bye. (Just call me IIP Eventually, the Muskie youth group is expected to set up a steering committee, made up of its state officials, to prepare position papers on issues of interest to youth for use by Muskie's speech writers. Some Republicans are already predicting that, as President Nixon continues his Vietnamization withdrawals from Vietnam, views will shift towards a the Muskie anti-wa- r d position against Vietnamization, stressing the "moral" problems of what would be described as "war by proxy." Csher Democratic presidential hopefuls are also focusing on youth, and Muskie's accelerated campaign is viewed by some here as a counter to very active organizing for Sen. George McGovern, under the direction of youth coordinator Ed O'Donnell. youth-oriente- which The WASHINGTON cities of 200 up in million tons a year can become an economic assets instead of a costly liability.

Glass bottles, for example, when pulverized, may be used either as a raw material for making more glass, or mixed with asphalt and used as a paving material. The aluminum in cans can be melted down and reused. Paper Can Be Processed Paper which constitutes about 80 per cent of all urban trash can be processed into fertilizer or burned in special incinerators as fuel for electric power generating stations. Many cities in the Netherlands are now making agricultural fertilizer from converted wastes. Refuse-burnin- g power plants are in operation in France, Germany, Sweden and Denmark. In the United States, Chicago and Atlanta recently have installed large scale plants for separation and recycling of trash. Other cities are preparing to follow suit. To encourage the trend, Congress last year enacted the "Resource Recovery Act of 1970" which authorizes $460 milll n in federal grants to help cities devised less wasteful means of handling waste. Senator!) And from merry ol' England, here's a bit of good news for gals and would enjoy being who think themselves flat and old otherwise. In England, a girl with a bust measurement of less than 32 inches does not need to pay tax on her dresses. If said measurement exceeds 32 inches, however, she is required to pay a 10 percent sales tax. This is NOT an endowment tax; it merely reflects the English method of differentiating between clothing for little girls and grown UOfKH'if women. children's togs are not. Sooooo, if Women's clothing is taxed you think yourself on the older side and have a 32" top dimension, you're still a child in merry ol' England anyway.

What I am about to relate is not intended as condemnation of Mr. Nixon for breaking some campaign promises; rather it is intended as an explanation for why all Presidents do. A chronology of Mr. Nixon's public utterances throughout his political career, including both campaigns for the Presidency, is a good and accurate profile of what he would like to do. His political philosophy is much more consistent than that of most professional politicians.

The United States Senate' is today at an important crossroad in settling with justice the century-olquestion of Alaska Native land rights. The Alaskan Natives 60,000 Indians, are Eskimos, and Aleuts asking the Senate to grant them legal title to 60 million acres of land that they have lived on since time immemorial. This is 17 per cent of the land they possessed before the white man came. Ten United States Senators have inoroduced a bill, S.835, to honor our promises to the Alaskan natives. cy commercial Almost in tears, the girl replied, "Well, if my boyfriend doesnt care, I dont see why you should."

Is there a specialist who could give us a definite answer? Does this radiation ever leave the body? Dear Reader It is not easy to find a medical center that can really do this. A device called a whole-bod- y counter has the ability to determine the amount of radiation the body contains. That would give some indirect information.

I use peanut butter "hich has oil on top, not homogenized. I love cheese. At 70, my doctor says I am in good health. Dear Reader You are probably getting less saturated fat and more polyunsaturated fat in your diet than most Americans and your total fat intake is probably less. Most vegetables have little fat content and a large part of what they have is usually polyunsaturated. Concerning nuts, I have calculated the ratio of saturated fat to polyunsaturated fat as reported by the U.S. Agriculture Department for shelled nuts: English walnuts 1 to 10.0 Safflower Seeds lto 8.6 Black walnuts lto 7.0 Sunflower seeds lto 5.0 1 to 4.0 Beech nuts 1 to 3.3 Filberts 1 to 2.8 Pecans 1 to 2.7 Almonds 1 to Peanuts 1.4 1 to 1.3 Brazil nuts Cashew nuts 2 7 to 1.0 Coconut meat is almost all saturated fat with only a trace of polyunsaturated fat. BARDS Cooperate With Russians? Editor Herald: Open letter to James Fletcher. In the TV interview concerning your new assignment as chief of our space program, you indicated that you hope to cooperate with the Russians in their program. How can you, cooperate with a concern whose movements are kept secret? We know the ultimate aims and objectives of the communistic establishment because they have told us plainly and brazenly: "War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course we are not strong enough to attack. To win we shall need the element of surprise. The bourgeoise will have to be put to sleep. So we will launch the most spectacular peace movement on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard of concessions. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends.

This communistic establishment has been quite successful in undermining our morals, getting us involved in treaties and they themselves dishonoring and ignoring treaties. They have brazenly ignored our Monroe Doctrine and we have let them get away with these things. Robert Strange McNamara sold us down the river, as I see it, so now the Russian establishment has a greater potential for delivering ICBM's than we do. It seems to me that a good many people in high positions in our government have betrayed us by cooperating with the Communist conspiracy. This I choose to call compromising with satan.
