EDITORIAL IasSoc5t(t . MEMBER biniimaH'i u OR THI socumea UTAH STAT ... SUPPORT IS AGAIN NEEDED FOR YOUR DUCHESNE COUNTY FAIR . Year after year since 1950 the Duchesne County Fair has shown a tremendous amount of growth and development in interest and in accomplishments. A lot of people are responsible for this achievement too many to begin to name. . . However, the Dean Christensens, Walter Williams, William Foys, Weston Bates, Louis Jensens Bob Murdocks, Mary Lois Reicherts, Lloyd Smiths, Mabel Merrels, Thelma Nyes and aLl the rest could not have gotten beyond' first base, had not hundreds of other hard working people climbed on the Fair band wagon and begun march tune. , playing a forward the 1956 Again we are about to witness another fair Edition. Will it be successful? Will it be as good as the ones in 53, 54, or 55? Will the exhibits and stock shows be as good as in the past? Will the entertainment be as good as other All these questions and many more can be answered years?. in the affirmative, providing you and I who live in Duchesne County will do our little bit, just like the people did' in other years. , At a Fair Board meeting last Monday the reports coming from the field crops, livestock, garden produce, flower and other committees were not very encouraging. For example, a report from the flower committee indicates people who grow beautiful flowers will not consider entering the show because there won't be any cash prizes given away. Then there is Mrs. X who will be glad to bring in some of her canned goods, or handicraft, providing she can win 500 or maybe a dollar. . . But for a blue ribbon, I should' say not. You cant have a county fair when people hive that kind of an attitude. Why have we become so selfish as a people that we must be paid for every little service we do for our fellow man? How was this great empire in the tops of these lovely mountains built? You know it was built by unselfish people who wanted to join together in any enterprise that would build them all up, and make them a more solid society. That same kind of cooperation is still the requisite for growth and development of a community. If you have a good vegetable garden, why not select some of your choicest products and bring them to the fair: If you housewives make a good' loaf of bread, or cake, send in a Sample of your skill. What a lovely contribution you people who, with fine flower gardens could make to the fair if you, would make a varied selection and enter the flower division. Another popular phase of the fair annually is the Miss Duchesne County contest. Much more interest has been displayed by young women of the county and a great contest among at least fourteen lovely girls is assured. We commend these girls and the- - committee who are bound to make this feature of the fair a great success. Parts of the editorial is a reprint from last year, when a plea went out to people of Duchesne County to lend more support to their fair. Response in 1955 was better than it had been in other years, and the committee is again hopeful time will be taken by you good people to make the 1956 fair the most successful of any since it was reactivated. -- J , The golden age of parenthood comes when the children are too old for baby sitters and too young to borrow the family car. - - c o - - . For every sejven couples who want to adopt a baby, adoption agencies have only one child available, say the editors of Changing Times. This situation has caused the agencies to set up stiff requirements in placing children in ideal homes. . Almost unanimously, agencies want couples under 40 who can prove that they can never have children. Those with chronic physical defects are considered bad risks. Most states provide by law that children of one race cannot be placed with persons of another and some courts have held that babies must be placed with families of their own religion. Financial stability is more important than wealth, but adoptng parents must be able to provide a child a room of his own. Some procedures for matching a child and prospective parents include: holding up placement of a brown-eyechild until brown-eyeparents are found; looking at youngster with an eye to what his mother and father might have achieved educationally had their circumstances been different. Old rules dic-- tated that college-bre- d couples could not have a child of parents. Today, scientific knowledge about heredity and early testing by pediatricians and psychiatrists is being relied upon more and more. Morgan County News d d are unpredictable.

I think all women folks should try to raise a few to make our twon look better. While I have been away and my renters, the Masseys have been away, someone came into my yard and dug up my lovely peonie plants. It is written, He who steals my purse, steals trash, but he who steals growing flowers, steals ones heart and soul. Anyone can send to the Brand Peonie Farms for bulbs, but it takes years of work and toil for a woman to get them growing good. I do hope the city will do something to protect the taxed property in the city, as I am not the only person this year who has lost their peonie plants. I was always good to share my blooms with my neighbors and friends and shared my bulbs when I decided to separate them, Sincerly, Mrs. Jenny Graham - - c o Dear WOULD YOjU QUALIFY TO ADOPT A CHILD?

Why? What is to be gained by the people of Roosevelt area? Is it to cheat other neighboring towns and cities of their hearitage of being geographicaly on this highway system? Is it possible, because the new system Roosevelt? Is it in hopes that pressure can be put to Carbon Co. to endorse Nine Mile Highway? Is it because the leaders of so fine an organization have sold their city down the river? I have no place of business, nor do I anitcipate any such venture.
