Before they settled on the family photograph and the Lincoln bust, the staff had discussed using Mamie 14 return Eisenhower, POWs quietly humming, American the Beautiful in the background and film 1972 highlights of the on a Redskins Washington rear screen. As the President was scanning the list, however, he exclaimed, All right, whos the wise guy who suggested using the mural of Checkers? Just for that, Richardson, Im going to make you attorney general. iVi ,v 3 L" J f Rflr. P Hard shoes to fill f. 3 One of the hardest chores to do, is fill the shoes of a man who did a good Job. Even harder is filling the shoes of a man who wore many pairs. Such a man was Carlyle Pace, who recently passed away. Mr. Pace was active and an organizer, which are rare What? No, you attorney general last time. a man. qualities Both traits were praised by the Price City Council shortly before his death. During one session he had asked the city fathers to increase the garden water users rate. At the time of the request, he was city watermaster which meant he checked the Irrigation flow during the growing season for that segment of water users. He stated the rates collected would not even begin to cover the costs imposed by his department. A few of the councilmen disagreed on the proposal, stating it wasn't fair to suddenly increase the rates. Councilman Walter Axelgard then spoke up saying the job kept Carlyle forever on the go for the amount of money it returned. He said that the one thing sure about that department was, you always respected Carlyle's opinion. He told of having the council chambers filled with Irrigation water users because Carlyle had taken a vacation and suddenly one user was taking his share of water out of turn, upsetting the balance. Councilman Axelgard, who once headed the water department, praised Carlyle's opinion and the motion was carried. Carlyle's opinion often carried. That was secretary in II (Special to the Farmers are bidding against one another in the desire to enlarge their acreage and attain better ! While taxes are soaring, while food prices act as if there are no ceiling and America finds itself facing slavery to the fuel Industry because of an "energy crisis" it is nice to know the government is concerned. To help keep up from sure poverty the government constructed two office buildings and a parking garage in Washington D.C. at a cost of $133 million. Inside was a lounge for House members only with a new carpet, $32,000; new drapes, $22,000 plus new chandeliers, $45,000. Why is it that this war on poverty's first casualty is the taxpayer. Those who think a dog's life is bad should try being the dog catcher. Recently, the Carbon County Animal Control officer was called to Kenilworth to pick up some loose dogs. After gathering up the creatures he noticed a large crowd forming. This mob then marched down to the truck, carrying rocks and clubs and demanded the release of the dogs. The animals were released. It will be Interesting to note, if in any other pick-uof animals, the dog catcher must give the creature Its p rights. . Also, as pointed out by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in its recent Agricultural Letter, the large farms are able to achieve economies in the purchase of supplies and equipment and advantages in the marketing of their products. It finds that the boom in farmland prices reached a peak, nationally, in the past year. They were 10 percent over the previous year. It and as County, Emery elsewhere, the values have been zooming upward. Back in 1964, farm real estate in Carbon averaged $28 per acre, and in Emery, $37, according to the Census of Agriculture taken that year. The figure represents the price of land plus the buildings on it. Throughout the State of Utah, at that time, the average value of such property was $68 per acre. Now, nine years later, farm real estate has reached a record high of $101 per acre, the statewide average as of November, 1972, according to the latest findings of the Department of Agriculture. In Carbon County, on that basis, assuming the local area kept pace with the rest of the state, its farmland has now appreciated to approximately $42 per acre. The Emery County figure is $55. pillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlg I Business Trends aiimimiiiiii Prepackaged S llllllllllllllli? orange juice, only one example of todays processed foods, keeps 180,000 tons of peels and pulp out of New York Citys waste each year, says Georgia-Pacifi- c Corp., a major national manufacturer of disposable paper packaging.

The competition for farm properties, as they become available, has become more intense than ever. Press freedom day The Watcher departed staff members. Something like they meant Farmland prices increase by almost $40 per acre more through the use sophisticated machinery. courts are turning reporters' press cards Into policemen's badges. As this happens, news sources dry up and the public is less Informed and less able to make decisions necessary for good government." The course of action, then, is clear. To protect our democratic way of life, we must follow In the steps of our forefathers and always be willing to defend the guardian of good government the press and see that it retains its freedom. of HEW. Now, Ziegler said, "we need a good catchy phrase to describe the, uh, dear operating efficiency of "The first freedom of a free man Is freedom of the mind, but that freedom is of little value without access to Information and the opinions of others," writes The Los Angeles Times. And that is precisely what Freedom of the Press Day, June 7, is all about. An independent press remains the vital watchdog of individual freedom. Government grows more powerful and more decisions are taken out of the hands of the average citizen every day. Yet, in jhe Independent press, public opinion can still be heard and remains instrumental In shaping local, state and national policies. As always, First Amendment protections of the press are under attack, the latest controversy centering around confidentiality of news sources. As Representative Paul Findley of Illinois has said, "By requiring reporters to reveal their sources and personal notes, the werent ingredient for PVC is chlorine, which the company makes from salt. The chlorine also is used for household bleach, and swimming pool municipal water purification as well as tertiary sewage treatment. Dodge car, truck sales up for May Dodge dealers in the Denver sales region reported increased retail sales of trucks and passenger cars for the first 10 selling days of May compared to the same period a year ago. Dodge truck sales were 354 against 188 last year or an increase of 88.3 percent. Passenger car sales were 461 compared with 210 units last year, an increase of 119.5 percent. The increase since 1964 amounts to 49 percent. For the country as a whole, the rise is 56 percent and, for the rest of the Mountain States, 51 percent. The Federal Reserve Bank concludes, as a result of its survey, that the rise in farm real estate values was accentuated "by 1972s record-hignet farm income and the increase in farm mortgage funds provided by institutional lenders. "The combination of high farm level prices, bumper marketings and a increase in government payments boosted gross farm income to $66 billion up $5.5 billion from 1971. Net farm income rose to a new record of $19 billion. h one-thir- d sincere, fill while theyre out in the kitchen getting a sandwich the during middle.
