Editor .... v E v ... PULLING TOGETHER WILL DO IT . Most of the recent Labor Day speeches emphasized a point which all of us need to remember for another year that the holiday celebrates an America made strong through cooperation between labor and management, not through personal struggle between them. The labor of both skilled artisans and skilled executives is essential to the r productivity of our industries through which we will reach the goal of an r America. Let us all, between Labor Days, remind ourselves that we are in the same boat and that only by pulling together, not against each other, will we reach the favored shore. ever-greate- ever-bette- v E v She is frightfully temperamental, isnt she?

Ballots have been mailed to all Duchesne County farmers who are known to be eligible to vote in these elections. Farmers, in order to have their votes counted in this years important election, must mark them and mail them so' they bear a postmark not later than Saturday, Oct. 10, 1953, Chairman Lyons said. You are eligible to vote if you are an owner, operator, tenant, or sharecropper of a farm and are participating in or carrying out practices in accordance with programs administered by the PMA committees. The ballots are prepared to permit voting for three farmers to serve as members of the community committee, and for a delegate to the county convention where the delegates will elect the county committee and alternates, he continued. According to Chairman Lyons, the caliber of the leadership chosen for these committees will have much to do with the effective operation of price support operations in Duchesne County, as well as with other PMA administered programs. They are responsible for determination of acreage allotment, on any crops for which allotments are in effect. Committeemen approve applications for price support loans. Storage facility loans are also' approved or disapproved by county committeemen.

Three specific appearances were made in Duchesne County on Tuesday by Mr. Stringfellow, and Wednesday he met with citizens in Uintah County. His first scheduled public meeting, Tuesday, was at Duchesne at 1 p.m., where he discussed problems of the farmer, stockman, politician and the average Mr. and Mrs. America with delegations from the various areas in the western part of Duchesne County. The meeting was held at the Duchesne LDS stake . house. After private conferences and small with individuals groups in the western end of the county, the congressman, who was accompanied by J. V.

He expressed his opinion that the people of the United States had not been fully informed as to the progress being made in the atomic field and how it was affecting our national defense. That situation will change, Im sure, he said. Following the dinner meeting, Congressman Stringfellow addressed a mass meeting of citizens at the LDS stake house and then met with individual groups later. He touched on several issues before the congress dealing with the livestock and agricultural problems, as well as reclamation. He gave hope for a solution of the problems of the farmer and stockman by paying tribute to' Secretary Ezra Taft Benson, and criticized the previous administration for inconsistent legislation. Im sure the - congress will receive a very favorable report on the entire Upper Colorado Basin reclamation program, and especially as it will affect Echo Park. . . Those who have visited the areas were impressed that building Echo Park is a must if this part of the nation will progress, the congressman told his audience.

But actually a new idea of observance is being carried out this year which should prove very constructive from the standpoint of public education in fire safety. of the various fire departThrough the ments in the state, and Boy Scout and Girl Scout units, under the direction and stimulation of the Utah Safety Council, some 35,000 boys and girls will have the opportunity for a good lesson on the importance of fire prevention during the week of October 4 to 10. , Every Scout unit is being invited and urged to visit a fire station during the week. There they will learn something about preventing and fighting fires. All fire chiefs have been alerted by the Utah State Firements Association to prepare for these visitations and to in putting over the fire safety message to the youngsters. In addition all units are requested to take on a fire inspection at their church, school or other meeting place, withproject each Boy or Girl Scout urged to make a home fire inspection. This is an excellent program. There is a big thrill connected with fire and fire fighting for the average youngster a natural interest which probably dates back to prehistoric days, plus the excitment which accompanies the drama of actual fire fighting. But we should channel that interest in the right direction, toward fire prevention and fire safety. This years Fire Prevention Week project promises to do just that. Meanwhile, we old folks can be reminded as usual that fire is a great destroyer of life and property and in large measure a needless destroyer. Fires are one hazard of life in which an ounce of preventive care is often indeed worth not just a pound, but tons, of water cure, $3.00 PER YEAR t; r; Hi-Lan- d Mar-sin- g, rs Sunday Trap Shoot P-T- Duchesne Set Livestock Judging Team Is Third At Fair 4-- Ur-es- k, Duchesne County To Pay Record Amount In Taxes Duchesne County taxpayers will pay a record amount of real estate and personal property taxes this year.
