Other View Points WE ( to Reprint from Moab Times Independent) has given for shutting down the Monticello mill. Now overstocked, AEC does not need as much ore as it is currently purchasing. AEC cannot operate the Monticello mill as economically as it can purchase ores from privately owned mills. Two of the reasons. So, AEC plans to close the mill.

Meanwhile, refusing to sell to private concerns who believe it can be operated economically. Five years ago, Sherdon P.

The fathers and mothers who spend the time and effort to rear their youngsters as substantial young citizens are genuine assets in a community and merit the respect of their fellow men. On the other hand, the parents whose negligence spawns youthful criminals deserve only the harsh scorn of public opinion and should be made to face responsibility for the crimes of their offspring. Another fundamental measure in combating youth crime is positive action on the community level, for local communities are the primary arenas for the attack. The sting of an indignant citizenry and strong local laws are the best remedies for the smut merchants who dispense filthy literature and for others who ply young minds with sex, sadism sound capacity. AEC has not suggested what the men employed at the mill might do. AEC has offered no suggestion as to how Monticello might continue to survive without the payroll which has meant its growth and on which the existence of other local businesses and services depend. AEC is, in effect, deserting those whose favors were sought only five years ago. Deserting American uranium miners and mill men in favor of continued buying in other countries by closing the Monticello mill. ....

He is dressed in a prince Albert suit, and wear3 a stove-pip- e hat, making him look like Abraham Lincoln. That was just the way Juarez wanted to appear, and he had a good reason for it. The story of that old coach and the man intrigued me at once, it moved me, it rang a bell in my heart that had never been rung in just that way before. After the Mexican people had been robbed and oppressed and shamefully mistreated for more than three hundred years, they rose in rebellion against their Spanish masters and declared their independence. Weak as a nation, inexperienced and in poverty, they fought even as our own patriots fought, but they had mountains of difficulties to overcome, one of them being their great national debt which they were not able at that time to pay. Some of their European creditors, France, England and old-tim- ' SHILAM-LE- I $UM REV. ROBERT H. HARPER WHO FIGHTS AND RUNS Going to the post office, I saw that a terrible dog fight was oa in the street in front of the courthouse. You have noticed, perhaps, how dogs happen together on the street and proceed to get acquainted. Then one gets peeved, snaps, and the fight begins. Soon a bedraggled animal emerged from the cloud of dust, shot up the street and turned a corner just ahead of me. A moment later, as I looked down the side street, I saw the fleeing dog put on all the brakes in a sudden stop. For there ahead was the flercest-lookin- g dog imaginable, standing as if demanding an explanation from the little sneak. Then the smaller dog edged oft the sidewalk, made as wide a detour as the street allowed, and resumed running with all his might. The big dog may have been amused while he stood perfectly still and the little fellow disappeared in the distance. Who fights and runs away may live to fight another day, but the chances are he will have to keep on running.

But should it be the Monticello Mill? Should it affect those same miners with whom only five years ago AEC sought unity and urged production of as much ore as possible? Should it be those men who have invested locally, benefiting all persons of the surrounding area; those men who pay their share of the taxes which support AEC? AEC has "offered the miners now supplying the Monticello' mill, the opportunity to sell their ores to mills purportedly already operating at outdoors: After the young robin hatches from the greenish blue egg, it eats an average of 14 feet of earthworms every day . . .

The Atomic Energy Commission Unfortunately, in considering the corrupters of youth, the public too often thinks only of criminals who lead youngsters into thievery, entice youth into immoral activities, or peddle dope to children. In truth, however, large segments of the adult population are also among the guilty. Countless adults escape the stigma, although by their negligence, indifference, personal greed and bad example, they are in fact responsible in large measure for juvenile criminality. Assuredly, a major factor in the youth crime problem is our present society which has substituted indulgence for discipline, pleasure for duty and money for morals. The growng menace of youth crime calls for decisive action. In 1952, no less than 477.000 members of the 10-t- o group were arrested. Since that time arrests in these age brackets have increased more than The foreboding based on the alarming present rate, are prospects, than that more one million will be arrested in 1962, and in each succedipg year. l3 i1 cooperation of game departments in several states will this year fish and realize bargain-basemeunder projects game development the provisions of the Conservation Reserve Program of the Department of Agriculture.

Participating farmers receive up to 80 per cent of the expenses of undertaking the conservation practice as well as annual rentals for the retired acreage during the contract period. Wildlife agencies in some 30 states are cooperating in the program, and significant progress is being made in Oklahoma, Ohio, Missouri, the Dakotas, and North Carolina.
