Those opposing the Sunday sale did so primarily because of the religious-moraspects, openly citing their belief that such Sunday sale went against their own personal moral principles. Those in favor of the issue pointed out that they felt it was no worse morally to sell such product on Sunday than any other day of the week. The consumer would be the ultimate person to determine whether using the product was against his beliefs or not. If is were, he would surely not purchase it anyway. Throughout the hearing various speakers dwelt on the issue of respect which Utah has gained because of its stand on liquor. They pointed out that many have said they appreciated such a stand but one needs only look at the average length of tourist stay in every state bordering Utah to determine that while tourists may respect the Utah position, they dont intend to stay here and put up with it on their vacations. For there is one peculiar quirk about respect it One has respect for another only so long is as that feeling is mutual. But it is totally beyond some persons to understand that many, many Americans with prominent positions or ordinary individuals do not consider it immoral to use alchol in moderation. Here, however, is where mutual respect comes in. Just because beer is sold on Sunday or any other day of the week is no reason that everyone has to drink Emotions al two-side- d.

The releases were from our two Utah senators Frank E. Moss (D) and Wallace F. Bennett (R). Both were concerned with the admonistra-tion- s bill silver proposed which would restrict the of silver in coins and the strange part of the situation is that Sen. Bennett, though a Republican, is in favor of the administration proposal and Sen. Moss, though a member of the administrations party, is opposed to the bill. As proposed, the silver bill would remove all silver from quarters and dimes and leave 40 per cent silver in half dollars. The new coins would be produced by a cladding" process. The necessity for the bill is said to be the major shortage of silver in this country. On the surface, the whole situation may be necessary but it seems that when any nation begins tampering with the monetary system, drastic results are inevitable. First the gold standard was abolished, then silver dollars were given the boot. Now they want to remove silver from certain coins period. We tend to agree with Senator Moss when he says that To take such drastic action as proposed in this bill when we do not know the consequences may prove a disastrous cure. It might just put us back to the days when sea shells were used as a medium of exchange. Unless money has some real value or is backed by real value, its worth is severely limited.

Harold Muhlstein has received a National Science Foundation grant to a mathematics institute at Southwestern State University at Weatherford, Okla. His family will spend the summer there with him. Kenneth Maughan has gone s to Logan to attend a session at Utah State University. He was accompanied as far as Provo by Teresa Frost and Don Redd, who are attending the BYU summer was 16 years old! The duck, a female redhead, was killed last hunting season in Ontario, Canada. It was first banded in 1948 in Manitoba. Remarkable that it was able to escape the shotgun pellets of hunters for so long a period. Do you sometimes get con- fused by the political propaganda coming' out of Washington? We certainly do. For instance this week we received a form letter from Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey explaining the new Youth Opportunity Campaign. With the letter was a statement by the President himself about the campaign. He pointed out that In the depression of the 1930s we gave hundreds of thousands of boys and girls this kind of extra chance through the National Youth Administration. We acted then from the desperation borne of national economic distress. I ask that today, at the height of our prosperity, we act with equal magnifi-cence- . We hear every day about our prosperity but if we- - are so prosperous why do we need the Youth Corps, Domestic Peace Corps, Urban Renewal, Area Redevelopment, War on Poverty and all the other federal programs designed to assist the underprivileg- ed? Democracy guarantees everyone equal opportunity never did it guarantee that everyone would be successful and make more than a specified amount every year. Only personal initiative and hard work provides that. Helping the underprivileged is a high moral goal but why are such people really underprivileged? Some may have legitimate cause but too many have found that welfare and free government handouts are a way of life. It is high time the federal government really you and I stopped playing Robin Hood. Taking from the workers to give to the shiftless, lazy individuals who never Intend to make anything of themselves is hardly a function of government of the poeple, by the people and for the people.

Pueschel of the Monument Adventist Valley Seventh-daChurch this week. This request of the President has moral aspects which warrant very serious consideration, said Pastor Pueschel in a statement to members of his church congregation made public today. First, we would recognize that labor unions have done much to raise the status of the working man. For their tireless efforts to bring better laboring conditions to the worker they are to be commended. To force membership in even a good organization, however, which the Presidents proposal envisions," said Pastor Pueschel, is to reject the very essence of democracy. It is for this reason that I voice strong opposition to the re y quest of The the President. union so-call- shop workers to be a part of activities which some may not forces conscientiously espouse, and it extracts from them funds for certain operations which they may conscientiously op- pose. The Seventh-daAdventist Church seeks cooperation with both union and management groups, continues the pastors hence it works statement, positively to defend freedoms it feels essential to members of both groups. Full freedom of individual conscience which protects the neutrality of church members who desire it in disputes is the goal the Church seeks. The Church, therefore, believes laws which give a choice to workers to join, or not to join labor unions, or management groups for that matter, are essential to full freedom of conscience. y Lineups and team members of the two Minor League baseball teams were listed this week by Coach Tom Burr, who is in charge of the summer recreation program.
