They were honoring men who had died in their own land at the hands of their own countrymen in defense of one nation, indivisible. What was that first Memorial Day like : Major General John A. Logan had proclaimed the holiday, according to World Book Encyclopedia. The Grand Army of the Republic which he commanded was leading the tributes with services at Arlington National Cemetery. Just across the river in Washington, D.C., President Andrew Johnson was probably celebrating the end of his impeachment trial four days ago. He had been acquitted, but his enemies, the Radical Republicans, were firmly in control of Reconstruction and determined to punish the South. The day was probably greeted with mixed feelings by the four million former slaves. Legally they were still not citizens, but Congress, after celebrating the holiday, would go back to work on passing the Fourteenth Amendment to make them so. The Negroes were trying to adjust to their new freedom, with little help from the newly organized Klan. The old Southern aristocracy, too, had to make adjustments. Its land had been ruined, its economy was near collapse and its social traditions had been overturned. The picture was more cheerful in the North, where Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Toms Cabin,' was now writing stories about New England life. While the war had shattered the South, it had brought booming prosperity to the North. Men who financed the Union cause and manufactured its weapons and supplies became millionaires and, at the same time, speeded up the process of industrialization. -- There were still echoes of war on that solemn day. While graves were being decorated with flowers, Irish republicans in the United States were plotting to take over Canada and hold it as hostage for the freedom of Ireland. Cubans were just beginning rebellion against the Spanish that a ten-yewould soon win the official sympathy of the U.S. House of Representatives. But most Americans had put thoughts of war behind them. They were looking westward to the Great Plains and to the manifest destiny of the nation. Miners had started the surge west. Now the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific railways were nearing their meeting at Promontory Point, Utah, which would mark the completion of the first transcontinental railway. The railroads would bring in settlers and equipment. They would carry back to Eastern markets the herds that Texas cattlemen were beginning to drive north. Farmers would follow the cowboys, respectable towns would replace the rowdy camps Bret Harte was immortalizing in such stories as The Luck of Roaring Camp, and the frontier would disappear. The stage was set for the emergence of the Union, cemented by the dead who were being memorialized on that May 30th, as an industrial giant that would spread its bounty across a continent. Ku-Kl- ux ar 25, 1961 health field is growing rapidly in terms of the country's total manpower, Health Informa- tion Foundation reported today. In the May issue of Progress in Health Services, its monthly statistical bulletin, the Foundation estimated that about 2.5 million people one out of every 30 persons now work in employed in this country as defined by health service industries, the U.S. Bureau of the Census. According to the Foundation, The 1960 census may very well show that within the last decade the health field has risen from seventh to third place among major U.S. industries in terms of number of persons employed. Thirty Years Ago F. M. Olson, city electrician, resigned his position Monday evening at the meeting of the city council, and a few minutes later was by Acting Mayor Lawrence Whitmore and approved by a majority of the council. Having taken the above action, Olson, who is the son of Mayor W. F. Olson, wiill not be affected by the new law of this state, which declares that no executive can appoint a relative to any position under him. of all perCurrently about three-fifth- s sons who work in health services industries are connected with hospitals or related institutions, the Foundation stated.

Although this growth has been less rapid than that of the population as a whole, the ratio of physicians to population has remained at about the same level since 1940. Over the years the medical profession has become much more specialized, the Foundation pointed out. The proportion of physicians in private practice has declined, but e those in hospital training and serv-isfederal and goverment service, or in teaching and administration has increased. George Bugbee, Foundation president, commented that many of the simpler duties once performed by physicians are now handled by professional nurses, technicians and other members of the health team. This trend has increased the doctors productivity and effectiveness. However, new medical knowledge, he added, has also placed new demands on the physician. If current physician-populatio- n ratios are to be maintained, many more medical schools must be established, or physicians must turn over more duties to specially trained technical and professional workers. It is well known that increased expenditures will be needed to bring medical care to the entire population in the years ahead, and to handle the chronic illnesses that are one of the prices the country pays for longer life expectancy . . . But the most important goal must be to maintain high quality in the training of physicians and all other health workers who serve the public. cine full-tim- e, non-feder- al According to Secretary William H. Toy, the request of the Price Chamber of Commerce for exhibits to be placed in the new headquarters of the organization, is meeting with eager response. Citizens of Green River and Moab, who were asked to supply an exhibit of agricultural products of that section, announce that they will furnish a complete display. Officials of the Union Pacific railroad have agreed to furnish framed colored pictures of scenic wonders of the southern part of the state. An effort will be made to secure a model of a tipple to be displayed in connection with the model of a coal camp. Volunteer workers will call upon the businessmen of Carbon county this week to secure contributions for the emergency relief fund, which is being raised to alleviate unemployment distress in Carbon county. Price Lodge 1550 of the B.P.O. Elks voted Wednesday evening to contribute $50 to the emergency relief fund which is being raised for the benefit of the needy in Carbon county. The lodge also appropriated $25 which will be contributed toward the child recreation project in Price this summer. Twenty Years Ago Excavation work has begun on the Greek Hellenic Orthodox church in Price for the purpose of enlarging the structure, according to George Karras, chairman of the church building committee. Plans call for an addition of a 30 foot by 40 foot section to the present church building. The work is being carried on by members of the church and is expected to be completed by July 15.

And ORGANS THE HAPPIEST MAN The happiest man in the world i3 the common, everyday chap who makes his own living, pays his bills, has a little money as he goes along, but doesnt strive to get a corner on the local output, nor is a slave either to ambition or society. He loves his God and his fellow man; thinks there is no place like home, the haven of rest; prefers the company of his family to that of anyone else ; never has to sit up nights to poultice his conscience; believes in the doctrine of live and let live, and, when he encounters one of the needy, he doesnt stutter with his pocktbook. The plain man is happy to be satisfied and does not spend the best of his life yearning for things four sizes too large. The doctor received a visit from a man who was worrying about his heart.
