MEMMOTT, Editor and Publisher Goldie Wilckcn, News Editor Mrs. Weston Bates, Office Manager NO ADVERTISING PROGRAM WOULD LEAD TO CHAOS Often we hear the criticism, There is no need for continuous advertising. Such comments show lack of understanding of the large part that advertising plays in our everyday lives. If we were to remove "continuous advertising entirely we would seer the following effects on certain sections of our communities: Preachers should preach only one sermon or so a year. People are against sin anyway, so why harp on it.' Teachers No need to review lessons. Tell the children just once and theyll never forget. Traffic Lights Should be turned off at dangerous intersections to save electricity. Everybody knows its a dangerous spot and that is sufficient. Highway Police Stop driving up and down the highways. No need to caution drivers by patrolmg highways. Drivers know the law and should obey.. Out of Towners That advertise in the local paper and mail order firms that send catalogs are wasting their money. Everyone knows what is sold at stores in town and theyll all shop at home. But If you are one of the' foolish kind, like the Notre Dame cathedral that has stood for six centuries but still rings the bell every day to let people know it is there, and believe in continuous, profitable advertising, then you will advertise in THE UINTAH BASIN RECORD. NEED, CHALLENGE, REWARD! Science and engineering students in our colleges and universities today are presented with unprecedented challenge and opportunities. The challenge is in assuring the future of our country and its economy in this atomic age. Russia its graduating two and a half times as many engineers as we are. We need between 50.000 and 90.000 engineers and scientists annually to protect our freedom from aggression, and to satisfy the demands of our industrial economy. Last year, at one college alone, the' 200 graduates were interviewed for job opportunities, by representatives of nearly 500 industrial companies. The rewards for the' young scientists and engineers are great in service to country and materially. It is not uncommon for beginning engineers and scientists to receive more than $450 a month in salaries! 30 Thru The Files Of The Record 5 YEARS AGO and Mrs. James Larsen, Donna Venice and Linda of Arcadia, spent Sunday in Salt Lake visiting their son and brother, Larry, who is in the hospital there'. -- oOo- Mr. and Mrs. Leland Wagstaff, of Tabiona, took their daughter, Claudia, to Roosevelt Saturday, to have her tonsils removed. -- oOo- Ross Green, of Ioka, arrived from Korea last week on a furlough.

His message is one we could all take seriously to heart and is being reprinted in hopes it might encourage us all to write a frequent note to a friend or relative in the service. Dear Mr. Memmott; This is just a small token from one of many servicemen in the United States, who enjoy and look forward every week to hear the news from home. Myself, I am at Parks AFB, Calif, as a training instructor. I see a lot of men come in fresh out of civilian life and go away as " d airmen. My job is one of constant contact with these men. I have the chance to see improvement and also many discouraging mail calls. I, myself, give out mail to my own men, so I know well enough how they feel about mail. The men that come in are perhaps just out of high school or even quit to come in. They are anxious to know what their school, church and favorite club is doing. For me, and seeing some of these things with one or two boys from the Uintah Basin, find the Basin Record the best for public and sincere news of a small town. My plea is that you might print a small portion of the letter encouraging the parents, relatives and good friend to keep our servicemen supplied with my own (Basin Record). Thanks for the news and the spirit of the Uintah Basin that your paper has done for me. One of those servicemen, A3c David Bates. well-traine- - Local Educators Attend Salt Lake Conference All elementary principals, secon' dary principals, elementary supervisors and superintendents of all districts, met at an annual March conference in Salt Lake on Thursday and Friday of last week. Those attending from Duchesne County were: Rondo Harmon and Doyal K. Swallow, Altamont; Albert Potts, Farrell Humphreys, Duchesne; Lawrell Jensen,1 Roosevelt Jr. High; John Blaine, LaRue Burgess, Roosevelt; Milton Nielsen, Myton, Merrill Dutson, Neola; Harry Mangus, Duchesne District Office, and Supt. Rowan C.Stutz, Duchesne. Duchesne residents are very sorry to lose the Var Rosenbaum family that has been part of our 3 community for approximately years, and have been so active in affairs. Afton and Var have been active in church and civic organization, and have contributed much of their talents and friendship to-- us all. They moved to Heber City last week, where Var has been transferred in his work. Their many friends will miss them very much, but wish them luck in their new venture. Though we are losing the Rosenbaums, we will also gain by having in our community a new family, that recently moved into the home that Rosenbaums have moved' out of. They are Mr. and Mrs. Neill Jensen, former resi dents of Neola, and we are happy to welcome them into our midst. Mr. Jensen is replacing Mr. Rosenbaum at the bank. The Jensens have two small daughters. We also wish them luck in their new venture here in Duchesne.

There is more than 42 million dollars in loan funds available for college students, according to a survey released recently by the Changing Times, The Kiplinger Magazine. About half of this amount is never used, although it is available at reasonable rates of interest to any willing student. Student loan funds are available of our uniin about two-thirversities and colleges at interest rates that average about 2 per cent while the student is in college and about 4 per cent when he graduates. In most cases, those who borrow money have an unlimited time after graduation in which to repay. The average college has about $39,000 in reserve for loans to students, and lends about $14,8000 a year. On the average, about 125 students in each college apply for and get loans during the school year. In 1955, 88 per cent of loan applications covered in the survey were granted. There is usually a limit on the' total amount a student may borrow, but in most cases the amount is in the neighborhood of $400 to $600 a year. Loans are usually open to anyone who maintains passing grades, as they are granted' on the basis of need, rather than high scholastic achievement. Of, course, students who aave scholarships may borrow from loan funds to supple ment their income. (Students who are interested should contact the Registrars Office at the college they desire to attend or are attending.)
