Regardless of the merits of the YCC program or proposal for a camp here both sides of the issue de serve airing but the unfortunate part of the news paper account was that only one side was mentioned and their views conceded to be those of all the people of Monticello. Monticello has a population, according to the last census, of 1,845 people. The article relates that approximately 65 letters were received by the Utah congressional delegation and virtually all of them were against the YCC legislation. To represent even half the population of Monticello, the 65 letter writers would have to have 14 plus members in each of their families. Both sides of this argument believe they have vslid arguments and want to be heard. BOTH sides should be heard. A Come through in disaster . . . One of the lesser known facts concerning the tragic truck accident in Kane County Monday which took the lives of seven Explorer Scouts, five adults and injured 34 others, was the part played by the Monti cello Highway Patrol Checking Station. Due to the remoteness of the accident and lack of communications from the area, all messages from the site had to be relayed through the Monticello station and personnel at the station worked steadily throughout the evening Monday. At times the job of understanding and relaying messages from the crash scene was nearly impossible due to radio interference but through the diligent efforts of the local radio operators a smooth flow of vita' information was maintained and through their efforts much suffering and pain for the injured was undoubt edly curtained by the expeditious summoning of aid and assistance. Too often the checking station is considered as just a vehicle checking station but in times of crisis such as those hours Monday these men, their equipment and capabilities come to the forefront. The station and crew is to be commended, not only for their efforts in the one instance Monday, but for those many other times they provide assistance and relief just as a course of duty, without publicity or fanfare.
