Last week Tooele drop9 decision to ped a close Hillcrest, while Murray got the season started off in fine fashion when they defeated Cyprus The Spartans for some unexplained reason ran behind Cyprus for the first half as the halfPirates fashioned a time lead.

Murray is a well disciplined team, about the same size as Tooele, and they do just about everything just the way it is supposed to be done.

Wilkinson, the piesident of Brigham Young for new called University, awareness by Americtn citizens of what made this nation great, in an address Wednesday night to the members of the Tooele Chamber of Commerce and guests. A NEW American greatness is dependent on the abandon--' mer.t of government domination and control and return of the individuata faith in his own tbility to care for himself, and make his own future, Dr. Wilkinson said to the i nnual Past ar.d Installation Presidents Banquet of the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce. He called on Congress to repudiate the inconsistent policies leading to government control and domination of busineas and private enterprise. Our greatest danger as a nation is the constant drift toward central government, he charged and warned the gioup that freedom can be lost and dictatorship established in America by it. DR. WILKINSON branded socialism as a proven failure in America with a historical record of over 200 municipt lilies States which in the United adopted some form of socialism and failed. He pointed to the fact that Jamestown began as a socialistic experiment and failed until aettlera rrrived who resorted to private enterprise. Another example were the pilgrims of Plymouth who almost starved until private inia-tiv- e was restored and then they held a bounteous thanksgiving. RUSSIA. HE reported, is no better off under Communism as far as food production is concerned than it was under the peaaant system. According to a study completed by an economist from Indie, it still takes one farm worker in Russia to feed six persons compared ID one farm worker in America feeding 27 persons. In Russia since 1928 when agriculture was collectivised there has been .a steady downward drift in the ability of farm workers to feed the nation and recent wheat the United from purchases States ere an admission by Russia of that failure, he stated. He told the group that 20 different world civilizations have failed in the history of the world. Causes are attributed by many present day scholars to forces within that stifled the individuals desire to improve and accumulate property. Among them he named the Babyloni-Empire, Greece, the Roman Empire, the Inc8S, the Spanish Empire and the rapidly disintotegrating British Empire of book recent a by He cited day. Braden Ambassador Spruel the socialistic which detailed factors that brought about the fall of these empires. stated that Dr. Wilkinson there is no sin greater than to live off the sweat of a neighbor. HE TRACED the warning by men beginning with Thomas Jefferson who warned of the consequences to America of too much dependence on government and Americans would have the choice of economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. Thirty-thre- e per cent of the income goes for national gross taxes, he told the group. warned the Dr. Wilkinson group that there is no sound between property distinction right and civil rights and cited the remarks of Justice Sutherland of the United States Supreme Court, who stated that the three great sacred rights are the rights to life, liberty and property. To take any one. of the three away leaves little to live for, he stated. IN REMARKING on the as- -, sassination of President Kennedy, Dr. Wilkinson pointed out that assassination outside the United States has been a common way of changing government and listed 10 successful attempts and five additional unsuccessful attempts to assassinate leaders by persons in other countries during the decade In contrast, he pointed out the orderly succession of government, from President Kennedy to President Johnson, in less than two hours. He reported that not one of the four assassinations of Presi dents of the United States can be traced to any organized group of any kind. Referring m 1951-196- 1. Continued on Back Page |
