Show 2 Price, Utah Thursday, Nov. 9, e, 30 for 1972 Home Improvements the readers ...phooey 1 The U.S. General Services Administration launched their sale of the Carson City silver dollars Oct. 31 - the same day my blood began to boil (again). The main reason my blood is boiling is the GSA will have a minimum bid price of $30 bucks each on the coins. Why should our government profit from the sale of over two million of these dollars that contain silver? At the lowest price of $30 bucks each that will bring the government 60 million dollars. In a news release the GSA stated the president wants every American to have an opportunity to own one of these historic silver dollars. Now, I would like to know how a laboring man with five or six children could afford to lay out 30 dollars to get one of these k silver pieces? Wouldnt it have been better to just put them in circulation throughout the country and say nothing. That way everyone would have a chance and wouldnt know they had a good thing until it was in their hands and at a cost of its actual value, one buck. Bankers should not be permitted to hold them, but should take their chances along with the rest of us. The way it is set up the whole thing is a rich mans game and being played at the expense of the little feller. Enough money is made from the U.S. taxpayer each year without socking it to him to get a silver dollar for $30 bucks and public funds were used to mint them in the first place. Many things are getting out of line in this new and modem form of government - but to sell one dollar for 30 is not only biting the hand that feeds you, but chewing it completely off. Course if you are interested and have money to spare, the GSA will give you until Jan. 31, 1973 to submit a bid . . . but remember the $30 buck figure is the minimum bid price. one-buc- hope of an on shores the hostile unknown land. Let us pause for a few minutes this Thanksgiving to contemplate the many good things we enjoy and offer our thanks for them. In doing so, we shall gain a renewed strength to tackle our difficulties and imperfections with faith and good spirit. With gratitude for the strength, purpose, charity and pride of our forebearers to which we owe the freedom and opportunity that bless us today, let us bow our heads this Thanksgiving Day. It is indeed a day to count our blessings. And it is a time to renew our care of them for the sake of generation yet to come. turkey dinner.

The first settlers in our land found the time to offer thanks for their lives, the meager food on their tables and the chance to live in freedom and Mission possible Just about every social and environmental goal that has been thought of as worthy of national effort, from finding jobs for disadvantaged and minority groups to preserving our lakes, streams and forests, of it is to be achieved, will require more power. More than any other form of energy, achievement of these goals will require more electrical power. The mission of the electric industry In the United States is to find ways to generate vast new amounts of electric energy to power the progress of our civilization without exhausting available supplies of fossil fuels and with absolute minimum impact on the air, water and 'land around us. This will require the creation of whole new technologies and the knowledge of how to put them to practical use in the service of mankind. To move this monumental task forward, the industry has set up the Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. to guide the massive effort of research and development that is to be undertaken. The industrys major trade organization, the Edison Electric In stitute, is taking the lead in securing funding for the program. Individual electric companies are pledging their backing to bring funding to the level of $140 million annually in 1974-mthan four times the anticipated 1972 level of cooperative research and development carried on by electric utility companies. All of us, as consumers of electricity, must bear the costs of the effort that is being made as those costs become a part of the price we pay for electric energy. If private enterprise in the United Statesfs successful in its effort to open a new world of electric energy, it will influence profoundly the future history of freedom in this nation. Instead of an electric czar controlling an insufficient power supply and with it the economic life of the nation and presiding over the demise of the dream of political and economic freedom, there will be a new birth of opportunity, a new vitality and promise in what can be accomplished by free men working in a competitive, open economy. ore Voice of Business War's end will have little impact - By Arch Booth WASHINGTON With the end of the long Vietnamese war New Jersey, Virginia, Connecticut, Illinois and Georgia, with some effect also in Massachusetts and Ohio.

The A- dministrations Veterans Program, in cooperation with private business, placed over 1.3 million veterans in jobs or training in fiscal 1972. The goal for this year is a little above that. However, the unemployment rate for veterans is still higher than the overall unemployment rate. So, while there will be no new flood of veterans entering the labor market at the conclusion of a formal peace, we need to work harder to find jobs for those who need them right now. Peace Divldent? Finally, there is the question of federal fiscal and monetary what effect will the policy wars end have on the national budget? Unfortunately, the answer to that one is very little effect. Ironically, the low figure for war-en- d $6 billion savings is exactly the amount by which the fiscal 1973 budget is expected to exceed the $250 billion spending ceiling requested by the President. And even that $250 billion ceiling included a deficit estimated to 5 be around billion. The sad fact is that we have already spent the money we will have when the war ends, as well as the extra tax revenue that can be expected from the growth of the economy between now and 1975. As a nation, we are living far beyond our means, and there is no magical source of extra revenue large enough to help close the deficit-gaLets hail peace for its own sake, which is certainly enough.

Sharp of a proposed Beginnings revamping of Utahs court system intended to provide an orderly system of dispensing justice will be broached to the 1973 Legislature. A proposed timetable and objectives of the plan were bared last week in a report released by the Legislative Council and its Unified Court Advisory Committee. Many past studies have indicated that the quality of justice dispensed in state, city and other courts was due more to strenuous efforts of dedicated public servants than to a unified system such as that planned. E. Keith Stott, consultant and research director, told reporters at a press conference that opposition undoubtedly would crop up against the proposed program. 24 Members Members of the committe composed of 11 legislators, six judges and seven other leading citizens hope to win support or their program at a series of regional meetings and other sessions. Stott said the system provides for three types of judges: The Supreme Court to hear appeals, district courts to handle general matters and district magistrates to handle matters of limited jurisdiction as to be determined by the Judicial Council. Into these three, all other courts would be merged, in- - eluding juvenile courts, city courts, traffic courts and justice of the peace courts. Judicial Article A revised judicial article for the State Constitution is being prepared for submission to the Constitutional Revision Commission and to the will include a This Legislature. provision to replace justices of the peace by the new district magistrates. Under the plan, magistrates would be selected by a procedure similar to that now used for district judges. They would be nominated by local commissions and appointed by the chief judge of their judicial district. Their decisions could be reviewed by the district court judges and would be subject to review by the State Supremem Court if it agrees to hear them. Tape Recorders Dome of the magistrates would keep a record of their proceedings possibly by tape recorder, making it unnecessary to initiate new trials in the higher court. The Judicial Council, it is proposed, would be organized and given administrative power over all other courts by enactment of legislation now being prepared. The first such council would consist of the chief justice of the Supreme Court as executive chairman, the state court ad- ministrator as executive secretary, non-voti- one member elected by the Supreme Court justices, three members elected by district court judges, two members elected by city court judges, two members eleetd by juvenile court judges and two elected by justices of the peace.

By shale development threatens deer herd says Audubon Society The Piceance-Whit- e River deer herd does not usually migrate en masse like caribou. Rather it is a seasonal drift up to and back from the summer range around the headwaters of the White River and its tributaries. A portion of the herd also migrates southward into the heart of the proposed shale oil development to the headwaters of Piceance and Yellow Creeks. In early April the deer gather in large numbers in the meadows along Piceance Creek, by the middle of the month most of them have begun their annual spring trek to the high country. Usually they do not return to the Basin until the late October and November snows push them to the lower elevations. Then, for about five months, the deer depend on the Piceance Creek Basin for winter survival. The area is rich in vital browse feed which the animals need -- Discipline is definitely needed, but students rights must be respected in enforcing this discipline.

Oil BOULDER, Colo., Proposed oil shale development in Colorado could eventually deplete the largest migratory deer herd in North America, charges the National Audubon Society. The U.S. Department of Interior is planning two major oil shale installations each on the public lands of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. Leases are to be signed in early 1973. If these projects prove successful, more will likely follow. Colorado development will take place in the Piceance Creek Basin northeast of Grand Junction; this area is also the winter range for the unique Piceance-Whit- e River mule deer herd which numbers between 24,000 and 35,000 animals. In addition to being a wildlife resource of national significance in its own right, this large deer population has also been a source of major recreational aphathy regarding academic learning on the part of many of the students, parents, teachers, and administrators. There was a lack of respect for teachers by students, a lack of respect for administrators by some teachers, etc. The blame for the problems that beset the district could not be placed on any one group. The solution, also, can only come through the cooperation of everyone. Carbon County must learn to work to improve the education there the people must want change. education possible, and they dont sit at home complaining. They work for change and improvement. I hope the concerned people of Carbon County will work shale development for over a year - with particular attention to its possible effects on deer and other fish and wildlife. In a recehtly completed review of the Interior Departments en- vironmental impact statement on the project, the Society urged that all possible measures be taken to perpetuate the Piceance-Whit- e River herd. Noting that major industrial development is basically incompatible with a continued high level of deer populations, the Task Force review has suggested intensified efforts to preserve the integrity of their habitat - especially food and cover. The Society has also asked that more attention be given to designating special preserves or refuges for the wintering deer. It is widely acknowledged that the available winter range is what controls deer populations. In Colorado much of this lower elevation country has been developed; as Janet Mortensen Thinking of color schemes for your home? What color should the Carpet be? Bright and bold, or traditional, something more pastel and soft? Much of the decision may depend on the type of person you are, temperment wise. Many persons have a color or a group of colors they love, and stick to year in, year out. For example, some dark eyed women with olive complexions v like intense colors, where a iB blonde may go for lighter tones which may be on the subdued side. ) If you entertain informally, you'll probably feel more comfortable with brighter, more colorful furnishings. For the formal type of social gatherings, a more subtle scheme is advised. The color of a carpet should set the mood of a room. For a den a softer, more subdued look may be wanted, but for a play room, sparkling with huge blocks of basic colors, a bright, inviting carpet color Is needed.
