Lest We Forget There hasnt been exactly what youd call a storm of reaction to our angry remarks and the occurrences giving rise to them regarding the instalation of gratings across the upstream end of culverts and bridges over irrigation ditches in town. Such is our nature that were more easily stirred up over the fate and fortunes of the baseball team, than over the occasional needless death of a child. The city council hasnt received a thouscitizens stating and letters from that theyd be perfectly willing to have their water tickets price increased one dollar, even, next year to cover the cost of such gratings. The vast majority of our citizens havent demanded of our irrigation water association that such gratings be installed. Tut, tut, Weve already, all of us, said something ought to be done about that, and thats about all we feel called upon to do. After all, as averages have run in the past, only about one baby a year has been drowned under a culvert in an irrigation ditch in town. Its nearly a year before were due again. And it would be an awful bother running out every week or two and removing accumulated trash from the grating so the tax-payi- The NEW Listening to D.

At that, the sad matutinal lot of the wife and mother insofar as Ive been privileged to observe it is enough to drive one to the extreme of sympathy where one sits placidly and protests that something ought to be done about it. Im not sure whither our federal government, but maybe something will be done about it. Birds Not What They Seem were beginning to take new aim on strikes. Instead of striking against management, labor seems these days to be striking against the body politic. And the point of aim of the body politic is the federal government.

A Square Deal For The Housewife, the placard says, and other such stirring and justifiable broad-shouldere- Brigham City has a plan, but where is it? Our communitys leaders know where were headed, what were going to acquire, what were going to accomplish, what were going to add in the way of new equipment and new services in the years to come . . ' but wed like to see a copy of the master chart. A corporation that does a third of a million dollars business a year cant be operated by by expediently doing what has to be done when the time comes that it cant be delayed longer, by doing b, whatever is necessary to cool off the heat at the point where the pressure is greatest, and letting everything else take care of itself. Brigham City corporation is the biggest business in town, the biggest corporation. Thats why we say there must be a plan and were sure there is a plan. But where is it? As citizens stockholders and customers, both of that big corporation, wed like to examine the managements plan, see if we agree with all its points, see if anything has been omitted . . . and then, like as not (some of us, anyway), open our big mouths and holler our heads off at what we find. We believe.that the mayor and city council with precious little help from the citizenry as a whole is working earnestly along the lines of a plan. There is evidence that they are. We doubt, however, that the plan has been crystallized and set down on paper for frequent reexamination and reference. The public hasn't had an opportunity to see the plan in its entirety. Th citys buget represents something of a affair, and inplan, but its a adequate. Just for example, take the airport and the golf course. There are two improvements capital improvements. The money they have cost and will cost isnt just spent, its added to the corporations tangible assets. Five years from now the golf course and the airport will be worth as much or more than they cost. How much a year can the city spend for such improvements? Twenty thousand, perhaps? Whatever the sum, the spending of that amount should be planned. One year another childrens playground, or perhaps two more, should be built. A rodeo grounds, and race track, a lighted softball park or two, a swimming pool perhaps, and a community hall or auditorium, or perhaps even a complete community center building. Gratings over irrigation ditch culverts. Curb, gutter and parkway throughout year-to-ye- ar town. Without planning for them, some of these things never will be accomplished. Therell never be a pressure great enough to overbalance the cost of some of the larger items. Intakes a lot of pressure to be equivalent to $100,000 or $200,000 of anybodys or everybodys money . . . thank goodness! Wed like to see the city council take out their scratch pads some evening when there isnt much business or many pressure groups coming before them, and make a list of the capital improvements Brigham City should have, during the next 10 years. List everything. Then, figuring how much the city likely will have for such improvements in the next ten years, scratch off the items we need least and cant afford.

They work harder, for longer hours, often with less pleasant working conditions, than any group of labor in the United States. Nothing personal, understand, and all on a friendly basis, but its time they were given some consideration. for all popular sizes of the tire that Their demands might be, actually, absurd.

It seems to us the council would have good reason to do it this way. When one of the periodical pressure groups calls on them, they could whip out the list and show that the improvement demanded was in the occasion arises. But most ies now are finding a plan worthwhile. PLUS B. F. Goodrich announces a big reduction in the price of the famous Silvertown tire! Yes, you can now buy all popular sires of the tire that outwears prewar tires at actually less than prewar prices! And despite higher manufacturing costs too. Husbands and fathers, unorganized, would try to negotiate separate peace, each in his own home. Naturally the girls wouldnt think of accepting any terms on the same way. Perhaps formal planning is unnecessary.
