Show Pit Still There Weve been waiting for a miracle, for the gravel pit in northeast Brigham City to vanish, leaving in its place a lushly vegetated hillside on which residents could feast their eyes as rivlets of sunshine trickled down the gentle slopes each morning. It hasnt happened. Instead, the gaping scar is still there, still as visible as it was four years ago and still as unattractive, purposeless and disturbing to neighbors in the heavily residential area. ... by Bruce PERHAPS THEN, It's time to put away the wishing ring and magic wand and get busy beautifying the hillside. Four years ago, residents of the area decided it was time for action, even before the mammoth s had ceased their ant-lik- e trucks and scurrying back and forth with fill for Interstate 15. They wanted something done and said so in letters to the city council which, in turn, brought it to the attention of two Utah Highway department has become a ritual at the Pow Wow wigwam for the old man to arise each morning at about 6 a.m., dress hastily and depart for the junior high gym where he and others huff and puff their way through an assortment of anatomical It belly-dump- agonies. put we representatives. l6 THE GOVERNOR recently told this newsover to the paper that he had turned the matter be handled. to it and expected highway department no has been But as yet there apparent response. Two years is long enough to plan and start construction on the hanging gardens. All we want is some earth work and landscaping on a gfavel pit. I recently that the cinema industry was trying to drum up renewed interest in its product by declaring that "movies are better than ever. We agree; in many respects, movies are better than ever. In general, the quality of acting, dialogue, direction, technical presentation and story content has improved. A movie-goe- r who is selective can be treated fine motion pictures, not only for enterto some tainments sake but for the stimulation of his thinking on issues of the day. was only AT THE SAME TIME, some movies are worse than ever. They lack the qualities mentioned above and are produced purely for making money, combining sex, violence and more sex. If your head is nodding in agreement, consider also that these movies continue to grind out of the industrys garbage cans because they do make money. People, uncoerced and on their own volition, buy tickets to see them. If they didnt this cesspool of filmed pollution would soon dry up. out, dont give the full portion to the producers.

And at a smaller, theatre. We suspect that here in Brigham City, based on our observations, the good movies outdraw the bad ones by a substantial margin. But Brigham City is not the entire country nor even representative of off-bea- this state. Movies are better than ever, and worse than ever; take your choice. Fishy Matter Time is running out in which to solve a fishy problem here in Brigham City: What to do with the trout which so thickly populate the equalizing reservoir west of the power plant. Because there is a risk of damaging the ponds plastic lining, fishing is prohibited there. This is reasonable and wise.

Lincoln said, "I see another crisis approaching that causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result, the war corporations have been enthroned and corruption in high places will follow and the money power will prolong its reign till all wealth is in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. Later, Woodrow- Wilson declared, "An invisible Empire has set itself up above the forms of Democra-cand rules Instead of the people. The great depression plunges the country into debt, sin, crime, riots and rebellion, as never before. The Constitution is hanging as by a thread. They turn to the ancient history of America and there is the answer, the cure for all problems. That little colony came to this choice land, not to build great and spacious buildings, but first and foremost to develop its natural resources out in the large and spacious fields; to multiply and replenish this wonderful new world with strong, happy, hardpeople. And storehouses filled working, peace-lovinwith plenty to eat and wear. What a good time must have had all up the west coast of North America felling the forests and making the deserts blossom as the rose. No joy starts to equal the courage and hard work it takes to subdue the earth, have dominion over the beasts of the field, eat supper by the campfire and sleep under the stars, get up early and get to work.
