PUBLISHED THURSDAV OF EACH WEEK Thursday, January 26, 1956 SUBSCRIPTION RATES 1 Year $1.75 - 6 Months 3 Months $1.00 Payable In Advance Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Duchesne, Utah CLIFTON N. MEMMOTT, Editor and Publisher Goldie Wilcken, News Editor Mrs. Weston Bates, Office Manager $3.00 - Polio Isnt Licked Yet The Big Push Is Ahead Of Us . . . No single community in the country has ever been equipped to meet the needs of an epidemic of polio without aid from the National Foundation Aid financed through all' citizens in the March of Dimes. The National Foundation assures through effort that no patient, regardless of creed, race, age or color, shall have less than the best available care. March of Dimes funds are available to all for patient care regardless of the' amount required. There are cases in which care of one patient has cost the National Foundation between $20,000 local-nation- and $30,000. Life and' health and human usefulness of thousands of Americans still depend, wholly and directly, on the success of the' March of Dimes. Far from being licked yet, polio prevention today is still a scientific frontier and thousands for whom the vaccine comes too late need the help this year that only the combined strength of a nation can give them in overcoming effects of this disease. More thousands will need that help next year. We can now hope that within our generation the vaccine or a vaccine will protect nearly all human beings from this crippling disease. However, there is no vaccine to prevent public complacence. In the face of great need for funds, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is nov fighting for the continuance of a program of service ' indispensable to the well-bein-g and hopes of thousand's of Americans who are courageously traveling the long road back from polio. Our enemy for 1956 is Public Apathy the premature and wholly false idea that polio is already conquered, that the Salk vaccine will take care of everything from here on out. We must remember that polio epidemics follow no pattern, telegraph no trend. The 1955 decrease offers no guarantee that we from the high attack rate have come to a permanent drop-of- f of recent years. Next Tuesday, Jan. 31st, will see the current campaign for funds brought to a close when the MOTHERS MARCH ON POLIO will be conducted throughout the nation. Your community will join thousands of others in this last big push. . . Turn on the porchlight and be ready when some public-spirite- d mother calls' for a few dimes to help others that they may also ' walk and enjoy life. As a final, comment, to fail to compliment Mr, and' Mrs. Arvin Bellon, county for Duchesne County, would be a bit irregular. . . They have planned well and only your support will aid them, in bringing this drive to a successful conclusion. vEv The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do, at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves' in their separate and individual capacities. In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere. Abraham Lincoln . .

To accomplish this more than 45,000,000 tons of waste were removed at the mine and more than 27,000,000 tons of ore were mined and processed. The expense of operations was more than $100,000,000 a major factor ia Utahs prosperity. Last More than $34,000,000 was received by Kennecotts 6,300 employees in wages and fringe benefits. fm More than $39,000,000 was spent for supplies and services, which helped hundreds of Utah businesses. The companys Utah tax bill was $10,750,000, with $7,500,000 going to schools sufficient money to pay for educating 24,000 children for a full year. The remainder was for other expenses, including federal taxes. Sill In The Eva's Cafe Duchesne Hotel Bldg. ACROSS STREET FROM OLD LOCATION One hundred million silver dollars placed edge to edge would make a double row around Utahs 1200 mile border. Actually, Kennecotts expenditures spread throughout the state, passing from hand to hand, helping to create better living. ' Theres another side to the influence of Kennecotts copper production on Utahs prosperity. For every job in a basic industry like ours, four additional jobs are needed in the state to meet company and employee needs. So Kennecotts 6300 jobs account for 25,200 other jobs a total of 31,500 Utahns employed because of copper production. if OPERATED BY MR. AND MRS. WM. MANN 4 |
