To the graduates, who will turn their backs on schools, it will be a time to meet the responsibilities they will face the rest of their lives.

Pictures show riot-tor- n streets, buildings demolished, stores gutted and police standing helpless while hoodlums make off with stolen merchandise by the carload. Reporters have accurately termed these civil disorders the other war. Most of us, when we read the news about a riot in a city a few hundred or a few thousand miles away, tend to thank providence that we have escaped the unpleasantness. But have we escaped?

We should think about this the next time we see or read of looting and burning. It may not be our own ppop-,-, erty going up in smoke or being carried off by vandals, but we will be paying part of the cost of both the lost property and the forces of law and order that must be called upon to bring the destruction to an end.

The Public Forum UTTER BUGS, POLLUTORS, BEWARE Editor: The 1968 general fishing season will open June 1. Other summer outings also will get under way. The officers and members of the Carbon-EmerFish & Game Assn, have been concerned with the vast amount of litter and pollution that is resulting and has been for many years. This particular unsportsmanlike conduct has been responsible for the closing of many of the states private camping and fishing areas as well as threats for like action from waferusers and others. Unless the public cooperates more extensively, additional areas of fishing, camping and hunting will this law because it would tax them two years after their ores had been exhausted. The law was amended. The 1967 Legislature inserted a provision that no tax should be collected after any year in which a mine had no production. This was fine for short-liveuranium and vanadium mines. But if the Kennecott Copper Corp strike had started Jan. 1 instead of in July, the company could not have afforded a settlement late last year.

With the terrific increase in the numbers participating in outdoor recreation in this state, there is always the small percentage of the public who has not been concerned or cared enough about our laws passed by the legislature of 1966 relating to litter and pollution.

Therefore, this year and other wildlife organizations are demandthe Carbon-Emering that the law enforcement agencies undertake to enforce Seclittler.

The citizens of Spring Glen, Price and Wellington have to utilize Scofield Reservoir water for culinary purposes and this should be reason enough to warrant their support. In addition, efforts have been made to provide the public with sanitation facilities and some camping facilities by the Carbon County commission at Scofield and the Forest Service at Joes Valley. All in all, the litter bugs and pollutors will find themselves before a judge this! year unless they change their habits. Harry Hangus Fish and Game Assn.

The dollar cost of this massive aid has been staggering. Many Americans, noting Uncle Sam's lack of true allies among the world s nations (m arly all of whom have received our bounty), feel that most of these funds have gone down the drain. They contend we've been duped and left holding the bug. To some extent these critics are right. Millions of dollars in foreign aid huve been misspent. In too many instances, funds which could have Inin spent more advantageously have gone into armaments. Indeed, more than once we have armed rival neighbor nations when we might belter have worked to remove the causes of their rivalries, helping them make fuller, economic use of their resources. Advancing Our Security And Prosperity of helping Costly as these mistakes have been, the broad goals of providing for our other nations to become more own security, and of advancing our own prosperity have been attained through (he multiple and complex foreign-aiprograms we have pursued. To be sure, we have not succeeded in outlawing war, and we have not managed to open Asia, Africa, and Latin America to full participation in a prosperous work! economy. But we have brought some nations, in Europe particularly,' to the point where they no longer need our assistance. In Asia, we helped Free China to build a dynamic economy on the island of Formosa with a standard of living for that region second only to industrially powerful Japan.
