FRIDAY IS INDEPENDENCE DAY Nearly a century and three-quarte- have rs gone since that memorable day when a small handful of freedom loving people broke from the yoke of bondage and established the greatest democracy ' that God ever inspired upon the earths surface. . . For nearly 175 years the United States of America has fostered and fought for the principals and ideals of American Democracy., . . Wars have been waged and in each instance been won, because God Almighty has always been on the side of truth, honesty and justice. 3 the However, today another idealogy greatest menace to the American Way of Life and old fashioned democratic principals threatens to destroy those ideals the Boys of 76 1812 1918 1941 fought and .died for.

If we are to survive, we must rededicate ourselves to the principals and ideals of democracy , . . We must place our faith and trust in a God who will help defend right and truth against dictatorial powers that destroy the Church, the State and a People who will not bow to the heel of the merciless dictator. Let us, this Independence Day, make a vow that we will not be misled by any power that would take God out of government and place in His stead, the rule of godless leaders who have decreed a demqcracy is old fashioned and stifles the progress of dictatorial powers and principals. . .

He cited the example of Albany, Texas, where, in the late twenties, he particiunitizapated in the tion of that townsite and drilled several wells. Since that time, Albany property owners have derived sizable fortunes from oil royalties. It should be realized, too, Mr. Mulcahy pointed out, that the Duchesne effort, like others of its kind, is costly and entails a great deal of time, travel, and work. We have 27 full pages of lessors, many of whom live at a distance or outside Utah. After all signatures are obtained, the title search begins. So those who postpone signing the lease are merely delaying our best efforts to bring about early development. In fact, their own interests and those of the community are not beinV furthered because we now have control with over 90 per cent of the townsite under lease.
