Although attendance at the Blue Mountain American Legion Post sponsored Veterans Day observance was light Monday, the post members and speakers did an excellent job of commemorating the occasion. The impressive ceremonies included selections by the Monticello High school band, short addresses by F. Bennion Redd and Legion Commander Ross French and a rifle salute to the veterans of all wars, living or dead, by the posts firing squad. It was indeed unfortunate that more residents did not attend the ceremonies but, as is often the case, patriotism flourishes only during times of war.

Beneficial to It is encouraging to see a project in ahy locale, supported by tax revenue, that benefits nearly all of the people. Such an undertaking, we believe, is the revamp job which is now underway on the television translator system. Nearly everyone in San Juan County that has a TV receiver will benefit from the new system, which will be completed before the end of the year. The cost in dollars and cents has been kept to the minimum consistent with the end result but the value of the better picture quality from the three Salt Lake City stations will be immeasurable,' especially to those accustomed to watching hours of snow and interference. We continually hear complaints of tax expenditures that benefit only a few but have yet to hear one word of criticism on the TV project. Another beauty of the project is that it is being completed with surplus funds and no additional tax ' revenue is needed. The county commission is to be commended for its work and approval of a project of recreation that benefits so many. county-operate- d Pehr-so- n hosted a dinner Monday evening for Mr. and Mrs. Lee Richey who leave Thursday for their winter home in Sun City, Ariz.

Seems the act sets of a special Civil Rights Commission appointed by the Chief Executive that has almost unlimited powers. The crop-- c o n t r o 1 comes in when all farmers who receive or participate in any type of government program are covered under the act and since nearly every farmer in the country does participate in such a program his rights to farm management as he sees fit are jeopardized. No longer will the farmer be able to hire whom he pleases. The act carries pitfalls for almost everyone not to mention the new government bureau and resultant increase in federal spending that it calls for. ut Another group of Army personnel, the 4th Missile Battalion of the 41st Artillery, will begin graduation firings of the Pershing missile the same one fired from Blanding from Ft.
