I will do everything possible to in me as their justify their representative, said Congressman Walter K. Granger in announcing his didacy for renomination as Representative of the First Congressional District of Utah. fHiis announcement climaxed six years of service in Congress, during which time he has won for himself a place on the Agrisulture Cmomittee which is one of the three major committees of the House of Representatives. He is also chairman of the Wool and the Sugar both of which are concerned with the problems of production and marketing of these , important Utah products. He is the author of "The Wool Act of which is now under considera1946, tion in the House of Representatives, Few men have made greater progress, 'in spite of the rules of seniority which , , s , play such an important part in Congress. Mr.. Granger has given a good deal df time to city, state, and national problems prior to his electon to Congress, having served fcr three terms as mayor of Cedar City, and as a member of the Utah State Legislature from 1933 to 1937 during one term he was speaker of the House. During the 1933 session, he sponsored legislation which became known as the Granger Act, and is the only piece of legislation cn the Statute books of Utah which is commonly called by the name of its author; He was appointed a member of the Public Service Commission and acted from 1931 to 1941 when he left for Wahhington to begin his first term as Coafieeamaa Nor has- hijreyperlence been entirely policital,! for he has given generously of his .time to his church," serving as an vLDS missionary, as well as a bishop. He has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the Utah State Agircultur- al (College, n J' With all this public service he took time out to serve his country in time of need' a a volunteer in the Marine Corps, and spent most of his time overseas in the first World War. He has been, a mem'ber of the American iin continuously since its inception and is a member Of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. So he knows the veterans prob-- . lems from first hand knowledge and states that he fully realizes there are still many adjustments to be made to insure veteras of their rights and to give them the assistance sec vital to their welfare. Mr. Granger was bom in St. George and was educated in the Iron County Public Schools and the Branch Agricultural College. Having 'been instrumental in bringing numerous permanent and temporary war installations to Utah, Mr. Granger knows how much these projects have meant economcally to the various localities in which they have been built. Everyone knows the heroic fight he has made to save Bushnell, and the success of has efforts to keep Hill Field as a going concern. Likewise, he has been active in the preservation of Geneva, because, he says, "Every installation is a source of revenue and employment for thousands of people in Utah, who in turn create the markets for our agricultural products. Mr. Granger said, "Of paramount concern for the immediate future is, first, the exercise of every effort to effectuate Tvorld peace and to get our own country back on a peace time basis. We cannot afford to make the mistakes of the last war when we won the fight and lost the peace; we cannot afford to make the same 'blunders we made after the last war as a result of which our nation suffered its most severe collapse. Having failed last time, we gained some bitter experience by which we must now profit. Mr. Granger has always been consid, ered a progressive Democrat. On several occasions he has violently clashed with ultra- - conservative members of his own party on the floor of the House when progressive Administration measures were under attack. He is always in attendance when the House is in session and the leaders have come to depend upon him to fight for Administration measures and for the things that are of special interest to 'his District and 'State. His voting record is well know and is an indication of what , - 1 J 4 S t GARDEN CITY NEWS The Junior High and Senior High school 'students motored to the Bear Lake Hot Sprmgs and enjoyed a swim Monday afternoon.
