The state legislatures of South Carolina, North Dakota and Tennessee have defeated bills which would have repealed their Right to Work laws, while Utah has become the 18th state to adopt such legislation protecting the basic freedoms of workers. Although unions are fighting the Right to Work laws, in Utah the State Federation of Labor affiliate, urged passage of a bill prohibiting compulsory membership of school teachers in organizations or associations.

Drawing shows habit of porWild tion of plant (note several stems from the underground arising rootstocks), B. flower, C. fruit, D. seed. Description Wild morning glory or field bindweed, as it is sometimes called, is a perennial noxious weed. It reproduces by seeds and underground rootstocks. Its long taproot may penetrate the soil to a depth of six to eight feet, and repeatedly give rise to flumerous long rhizomes which send up new shoots. This usually results in rapid spread. The seeds are grayish-black and some of them have a hard seed coat. They have been known to germinate after lying dormant in the soil for thirty years. The leaves are arrow-shape- d and the white or pink flowers are bell shaped. It makes its growth during the late spring and hot part of the summer. DDIDGELAND morning glory was introduced from Europe and started in many areas in this country by being planted unintentionally with flower or vegetable seeds. Now it is probably the most widespread of any noxious weed. This weed is a serious problem in every county in the State of Utah,-anit costs the farmer enormous amounts through reduced crop yields and money spent for control. Control Morning glory is fairly easy to keep under control if the proper methods are followed. On the other hand complete eradication is possible, but requires persistant effort over a long period. This is due to the peculiar characteristics of this enemy of agriculture. On an old established stand, the deep of underground heavy system rootstocks furnish great reserves. lJpa(co Mrs. Shelby Lisonbee At MEETING Those from Bridgeland who attended the convention at Roosevelt.

Joe Marsh Sad Note From The Bugle u All of on the Clarion were alarmed to learn that our principal rival in the newspaper field the Baleivillo Bugle might have to shot down. Crops were bad in Balesville last year and one of their factories moved out of town. Just temporary hard times, of course -- but the Bugle needs help now if its to survive. So, this paper is going to scrape up a little money to help tide them over, and we hope other local concerns will do the same. Weve seldom agreed with them editorially over the years -- but we want their competition to keep us on our toes. From where I sit, this country needs papers with different points as it needs people of view-j- ust with different ideas and tastes. Yon may prefer iced tea as a cooler ... I generally er choose a cold glass of beer. But if either of ns couldn't express his opinion, and act on It, that would be bad news for tho whole community.
