MEMMOTT, Editor and Publisher Goldie Wilcken, News Editor Mrs. Weston Bates, Office Manager MICKELSON CLINT The political life of Duchesne County last Friday suffered loss when Commissioner Clinton J. (Clint) Mickelson was killed instantly in a truck accident near Mona in Juab County. With the' untimely passing of Clint Mickelson goes a strong leader in the political and civic affairs of Duchesene County and City. He had served his community as a city councilman for a short time, before being elected a member of the Board of County Commissioners. He was also taking an active part in his church. Clint will be missed in his various civic positions and in his church, where he had served efficiently and' honorably. His wife and children should get extreme satisfaction in the knowledge that their husband and father made a great contribution to the' growth and development of the great Uintah Basin, which he loved and accepted as his home. The overflow crowd that jammed the Duchesne stake-war- d chapel last Tuesday; the floral offerings and' the tributes paid him at his funeral, are indicative of the love and esteem in the' which Clint Mickelson was held among his people people who were his neighbors and those he had served in public life. Its comforting when a man and his family have the profound faith and assurance' that death is not the end, but the beginning of a more beautiful life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Clints family, especially, will miss their husband and father theyll miss his comforting influence and counsel during the dark days ahead, but can smile' between their tears because they know his spirit will live throughout the eternities, and while he lived upon the earth he served his community, his church and his country well. a distinct OTHER COMMUNITIES SHOULD FOLLOW Announcement was made this week that a Ground Observer Corps and Signal Tower will be dedicated as a part of the nations great Civil Defense program, in Myton City, on May 12. There will be a fitting program and a social held in connection with the dedication ceremony. Members of the Civil Defense organization of Utah and our nation are high in their praise for the Myton people who are the first in the Basin to qualify for the honor that will be conferred on them Saturday, May 12. We commend' Mayor William Linck, the members of the city council, the American Legion and Auxiliary, and all others who are responsible for the fine contribution made toward our national defense.

OME-TOWN 1 WHAT PRICE SUCCESS i The incompatibility of todays discriminatory tax policy with our free economic system can be demonstrated very practically. If a man works overtime, his reward from his private employer will be a higher rate of pay. But if he gets into another tax bracket, his government penalizes him! A salesman will work harder, produce more business and get higher commissions from Ms employer. But then he gets higher tax rates from his government! It is a strange situation when the government will penalize a citizen for doing what, everyone agrees, merits extra reward from his private employer. 30 Thru The Files Of The Record -- CO-- A few DANS VALENTINE Altonah, announce the arrival of 5 YEARS AGO a baby girl, born April 26, at days ago Dan Valentine, Tribune Mr. and Mrs. Charles Meranda the Roosevelt columnist, selected Grant Peel of Hospital. of American Fork, spent the Altamont for his Todays ValenoOoweekend' at their ranch west of A birthday party was held at tine.
