Now YOU WRITTEN YOUR LEGISLATORS? that the Utah State Legislature is in full swing, with many important bills being debated and others introduced, it becomes the responsibility of you and me to let those representing us know what our feelings are. AS AN EXAMPLE, there is the School Lunch proposition that will go by the boards if the governor has his way. If you want state aid for school lunches, and most of us should in areas like the Basin, then write Sen. Stringham and Representatives Brotherson and Hopkins, and tell them what yqu want. You elected them, and have a right to advise them how they should vote. HAVE s i THEN THERE IS THE RIGHT TO WORK BILL that will no doubt become a red hot issuse before it is disposed of, one way or another. If you feel that a person living in FREE AMERICA has a right to hold down a job without joining a union, then tell your representatives how you feel. This newspaper is definitely not opposed to organization in labor quite the contrary. I believe organized labor is as necessary as organization in industry and business. But, I AM OPPOSED to a man not having his free agency in joining or not joining a labor union, in Order to work. If you think as I do, then write a note and tell your legislators to support H.B. No. 85 when it comes to a vote. Theyll do it, if enough of their constituents let them know how they feel. WONT YOU SUPPORT THE UPPER COLORADO RIVER PROJECT? Last week at Window Rock, Arizona, a poor but proud people demonstrated that they are true citizens of the United States. These people, the Navajo Indians, staged a war dance and held a series of meetings with their pale-fac- e neighbors from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona. The event was held in connection with meetings of the Upper Colorado River Grass Roots, Inc., a citizens committee supporting the Colorado River Storage Project. The Navajos contributed $10,000 toward a public information program about the project. This is a great deal of money to a poor people, but the Navajos are members of the Grass Roots organization and they wanted to help as best they could. The reason this is noteworthy is that by acting as citizens in a democratic manner the Indians not only gave a tremendous push to a worthy project, but they also showed, the way for the rest of the citizens of our area. The Colorado River Storage project needs support. Misinformed people are seeking to halt the project. Yet Its a project that benefits not only our western states but the entire nation. You can help not by performing a war dance such as the Navajos did. But you can help by contributing $1 or more to the information campaign sponsored by the Grass Roots citizens group. You can become an Aqualante (water vigalante), learn about the project and tell others about it The Navajos have done their part Now its up to us. Wont you become an Aqualante, too? A coupon will be found on Page One to assist our readers in subscribing. Then too, local committees are being fdrmed to promote Aqualante in this area. v E v .... ANOTHER NOTEWORTHY BIRTHDAY We salute the Boy Scouts of America on its 45th birthday, now to be observed during Boy Scout Week, Feb. 6 to 12. Since its founding in 1910 the organization has enriched the lives of over 22,750,000 boys and adult leaders. Truly Scouting represents a living cross section of American life. Boys ef every race, religion and economic background are attracted to Scouting. Today we find 2,700,000 boys in its ranks.
