MEMMOTT, Editor and Publisher Goldie Wilcken, News Editor Mrs. Weston Bates, Office Manager $3.00 - ( HOW SHOULD NEWSPAPERS HANDLE STORIES ON MINORS IN TROUBLE? NOTE The question of whether a newsshould' include the names of juveniles in news stories pertaining to violations of the law, has been debated ofttimes in the presence of the editor of this paper. No con- EDITORS paper editor clusion has been reached, and our policy has been to leave the names out. Whether we are right or not is a matter not to be decided at this time'.. . . However, a fine article was clipped this week from the Publishers Auxiliary and is being reprinted for the pleasure of our readers. . . If you have an idea write this newspaper about it and well be happy to share your opinions with other readers. Every Editor must face', from time to time, a request that a certain persons name be left out of the newspaper. The circumstances are usflally such that the person involved would' rather not have' them revealed to his friends and fellow citizens. Sometimes it is hard to refuse such' a request, but the editor of integrity, if the item is legitimate' news, will have to do so. He may point out that his job is to report what happens, and he can hardly place himself in a position to judge what shall go in and what shall not. His duty to community is to give them the news. There' are1 circumstances, however, where more than the consideration of an individual is concerned. One example we are all familiar with is the handling of cases involving teen age boys and girls who have been arrested, and possible sentenced to an industrial school. Many newspapers have a policy of reporting such stories, but withholding names. Their reasons usually are that they do Thru The Files Of The Record 5 YEARS AGO The wedding of Miss Dona Max-fieldaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Linford Maxfield of Altonah, and Deloss Bird, son of Mr. and Mrs, Clarence Bird of Bluebell, was performed by Bishop Lester Maxfield Saturday afternoon at the home of the brides parents.

Other newspapers print the names, on the basic theory that they have no right to withhold news, and for the more specific reason that such publicity may help to reduce the N crime rate in the area. Another reason often cited is that such events as the arrest of juveniles seldom remains a secret anyway. The story is passed by word of mouth, probably being distorted as it goes along. The end result may make the whole situation seem worse than it actually was. When this is the' case, the newspaper is certainly doing a service to those involved by printing the actual facts, Vic Sherow, editor of the Gallipolis (Ohio) Tribune, is now very much involved' in a case of this kind. Mr. Sherow did print the names of five juveniles sentenced to an industrial school. He was cited for contempt of court, since the judge in the case had instructed that the names not be printed. Mr. Sherow is now appealing the case, and he hopes the higher courts decision will set a precedent in Ohio. It would be well to have the legal question decided, although in most places, as we understand it, the policy of printing names of juvenile offenders is left to the discretion of the newspaper. Generally, we are opposed' to secrecy in any form. If our country is to remain free, government must be conducted within open sight of the people. Juvenile courts hardly seem an exception. Actually, if the courts are closed to the press, and thus to the public, it is possible for many abuses to arise in those courts. True, most juvenile judges are sincere men, honestly trying to help the unfortunate young who have" gotten into trouble. But how are we to know if there may be those who are not just, if the court proceedings are conducted in darkness? We would not go so far, however, as to say that there arent cases where the editor may feel it best to withhold names. But we feel such a decision should come only after consultation with the judge, and a mutual agreement that this is the better course. And we think those cases should be few. For, again, the editors responsibility is to the community as a whole', and it is not right for either him or the judge to become a censor on what the community shall or shall not know. Publishers Auxiliary 30 Forest Rangers Talk Over Plans For Season The district rangers, supervisors and staff of the Ashley National Forest met Thursday and' Friday, March 9 and 10 to discuss various problems and work plans that face them in the determination of national forest land. Those present at the meetings were: Forest Supervisor Gil Doll, Forest Rangers Ernest C. Hirsch, Glen A. Lambert, Bill Worf, Jesse Palm and Meriin Bishop.' Other staff men included Administrative Assistant Claude Bruce, Road Engineer Ward Evans, and Assistant Rangers Allen Dahlgreen and Gene Kuhns. Also present during Thursday, when fire control was discussed' were Boyd Rasmussen, forester in charge of fire control at Ogden, and Wayland Mattsson, also of the fire control division of Ogden. Thursday morning was devoted to a review of suppression action on large fires that occurred on the Ashley Forest during the past year. The Rangers discussed the various problems that arose and way's of improving their action on future fires. Through these discussions we can determine where we can improve on our fire fighting techniques and, by an exchange of ideas and criticisms, we can improve our handling of fires in the future. Doll stated. Fiscal problems were discussed by administrative assistant Claude Bruce on Friday, followed by a discussion of road improvement plans by Ward Evans. Rangers Palm and Bishop discussed the highlights of the interagency USDA meeting they recently attended in Provo on Feb, 28. The remainder of the meeting during Friday was devoted to a discussion of the recently completed Forest Service Timber Resource Review. Through this discussion the rangers and staff were given background information on the timber Resource Review as well as localized applications of this information. All in all the meeting was very successful in that each ranger and staff man was able to get a better of the problems understanding found on the forest, both on his district and other areas of the Supervisor Doll said. forest, BRIDGELAIID Mrs. Shelby Lisonbee SEMINARY GIVES PROGRAM A very spiritual program was presented Sunday evening at SacGlenn when rament meeting Mitchell brought his 8th grade Seminary class down from Duchesne Those participating were a musical reading, by Marleen Davies; music by Mary Etta Moon; talk, by Barry Jordon; vocal duet, and Marleen Sharron Patridge Davies, accompanied by Mary Etta Moon; talks, by Karma Smith, Allen Moon and Mr. Mitchell.

These lamps produce relatively high temperatures, both on the lamp face, and in the socket. Fire hazards result from their improper use. If located too close to the floor, the litter will ignite. Infrared lamps must be mounted so they will never be closer than 15 inches or more than 24 inches above the litter. It is desirable to start the brood with 18 inches clearance between the lamps and litter. When the chicks crowd under the center of the lamps, it is an indication they need more heat. When they continue to form a large ring under the lamps, this indicates too much heat. If more heat is required, add more lamps rather than placing them closer than 15 inches to the litter. If you build your own brooding unit: 1. Use only porcelain sockets or lamp holders. 2. Use proper size wire that will safely carry the power load. insulated 3. Use rubber coverwire or heavy-duted cord,. not more than 8 feet long to connect brooder to power outlet. 4. Do not hand' a brooding unit on the electric cord.
