for her price is a of The above rubies heart her husband doth safely trust in her so that he shall far have no need of spoil She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life” (Proverbs 31:10-12- ) “Strength and honour are her clothing and she shall rejoice in time to come She openeth her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness” (Proverbs 31:25-27- ) Not unexpectedly the writer concludes by pointing out the supremacy of virtue to the transient qualities of charm and beauty “Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates” (Proverbs 31:30-31- ) God-fearin- well-directe- Dealers' Side Ogden’s new car dealers are objecting for good reasons to accounts presented in Washington this week on the way replacement auto parts Dogs Roaming A continual problem in our area is that of thoughtless pet owners who let their dogs roam unattended In the rural sections this practice is a hazard to livestock In the urbanized communities it’s a downright nuisance Typical are the sentiments of a Layton woman a resident of the Camelot No 2 development who wrote us the other day We couldn’t use it as a letter to the editor because she wouldn’t permit her name to be attached But her feelings are worth pass- are sold and distributed Witnesses before a Senate subcommittee headed by Sen Frank E contended that the Mossj dealers throughout the nation are making excess profits through arrangements giving them exclusive territorial rights Not so report the Ogden area dealers on: The new car dealerships do have ing “We have a problem with people the only right in a given community They to purchase the parts from the fac- ignoring the leash law should understand the inconvenience tory But these parts must be sold these pets cause others It is not a at the dealer’s cost to independent pleasant task cleaning up after these body shops and mechanics We have a dog And they add there’s nothing in wandering animals of our own but keep it on a leash any agreements that would preclude Still in one day we counted five an Ogden body shop as an example one block It’s always from buying a needed fender in Lay-to- n strays in or Brigham City if he so desired been a bad problem but it’s getting worse” So there’s no territorial protection Good neighbors are those who The dealers do agree with the — witnesses before the Moss committee consider the feelings and property — of others thatjthe entire matter of auto parts has become a major consumer issue — one that merits a fuller underViewpoint I’m reserved You’re superior standing by the public of a complex distribution system He’s a snob D-Ut- ah Voted Scheme Down Editor Standard-ExamineThe story about the shopping mall on page IB of the Standard on March 1 shows that we have only one city councilman who works for the people of Ogden Roger Grant is backing the people of Ogden when he speaks against the proposed downtown mall Apparently the mayor and other councilmen want to go through with the scheme regardless of what the citizens want We voted down that scheme once Now how many times do we have to decline before they get the idea? What’s in it for them? Another thing: Why does the city charge a 4 tax on our utilities? Where does the overpayment of the garbage collection fees go? Most Ogden people don’t know that the garbage collection fee added to their water bill is supposed to decrease as the size of your family decreases to two The city politicians won’t volunteer this information but I found out The city treasury apparently has too much money already since they want to refurbish the privately owned buildings along 25th Street Private investment Families of Dependent Children (ADC) with public money?

There are many jobs in the military that require the special talents of young women — regardless of race or religious background What a sad place our United States of America would be if all church affiliated womens organizations shared Mrs Smith’s feelings! Doesn’t part of being a good Christian include having pride in and love for ones country? I believe that the Mormon people Mrs are proud Americans Smith should not judge the entire military by letters she received from two unhappy Mormon girls in the military Signe Bennett Fruit Heights for 13 Real Mall Issues Editor Standard-Examine- r: In my estimation the efforts of Councilman Grant could be better directed by considering the basic issues involved in the Ogden Mall project rather than by asking questions which may not give him the real answers For example: Who would have expresed a desire to go to the “Streetcar Barn” in Salt Lake City if the query had been made 15 years ago? How many people like to go to “Trolley Square” in Salt Lake now that it has been fixed up? I think the answer speaks for itself Now for the issues involved in the mall project The following questions are in my opinion questions that bring out the real issues we should consider in our thinking about a mall 1 Do the residents of Ogden want to be able to get a better local selection of merchandise than they can get presently? 2 Do the residents of Ogden want to get more for their money than they get presently? 3 Do the residents of Ogden want to have more employment opportunities than they have at present? 4 Do the residents of Ogden want to have a more beautiful and more enjoyable shopping environment than they have now? 5 Would the residents of the area rather take Some virgin land— blacktop it and fill it with buildings and access roads or on the contrary utilize land which has already been taken out of an environmentally useful suitation and improve it and beautify it? FOR LETTERS RULES welcomes letThe Standard-Examinters from its readers on topics of current Letters should be addressed: interest Box 951 OgEditor Standard-Examine- r den Utah 84402 Letters should not exceed 300 words and all letters are subject to condensation No more than one letter per month will be printed from any individual Letters violating rules of good taste and laws of libel will be rejected All must be signed and include for verification writer's address and telephone number er It is my opinion that the de- velopment of the mall would bring better merchandise better bargains more local employment opportunities and a better social economic and physical environment I feel that it is better to develop “old” land than to unnecessarily destroy “new” land If private enterprise can develop the mall with a minimum of help from tax dollars I think Ogden residents should support it Walter B Kerr Ogden Not With AA Editor Standard-Examine- r: On Feb 28 I had a letter published criticizing the Alcoholics Anonymous program I hope this letter gets put in as I want to apologize to the AA and all its members for my mistake This man that has set himself up as “god” can tell people that they are disqualified and cannot go to any more of the meetings is not associated with AA even though he gives the impression he is He is associated with the Davis County Rehabilitation So please accept my apology AA You AA people are the ones to get me on the right track as to who he is associated with and that he is paid for this job a job that gives him the power to get people in trouble because he is supposed to be a trusted employe and does not keep his records of attendance correctly which I know because my daughter has been taking her dad to these meetings and going in to the meetings with him to wait for him but this man says that my husband has not been going to the meetings Thank you AA and all of your members for your help in this matter Mrs J Fowler Clearfield group of persons can hope to cure the ills of society without first making a conscious effort to determine the cause or the source of a particular illness The prime factor necessitating the need for abortion is indiscriminate sexual activity Until such activities decrease abortion will continue to or not! increase-legali- zed “If men were having the babies there’d be a darned sight fewer of them” is a statement heard many times Yet what percentage of women have have had or will have the privilege of choosing the time of their pregnancies? The Standard-Examin(Feb 19 page 9A) carried a write-u- p of a report sponsored by the United Nations Fund for Population activities: “The international record shows that legal prohibition of abortion does not prevent its practice “They estimated that between 40 million and 55 million unwanted pregnancies are ended by abortions annually many times because women have had no access to contraceptive pills or birth control devices” In short: Laws will not pre-- v e n t unwanted pregnancies Only by controlling the cause will the illness be alleviated er Jack Godwin House During President Ford’s 18 month tenure the national cost of living estimate for a family of four increased by $100 per month President Ford’s unemployment figures are most unreal and very appropriate during an election year A closer check of the issues on the nation’s economy would reveal that we are receiving no more truth from President Ford than from President Nixon How many of us can afford Mr Ford? Ray W Burnett South Ogden Ogden Blew Whistle? Editor The office of the President of the United States exercises more power than any other elected position of authority and trust in this world More than just a passive interest by the American electorate should be demonstrated in the selection of the one who takes this office President Nixon exemplified before the American people the fact our presidents are becoming too powerful and even untouchable by law He virtually ignored the Republican party structure in his campaign He called the signals and his appointed men in and out of the White House did as they were told so their boss would win big The surreptitious scheme became instead a subversion of The Question our political process as evidencEditor Standard-Examine- r: ed by Watergate “To abort or not to abort” Nixon feared prosecution that is the question! There was only one way out He The pros and cons relating must resign and receive a full to this issue pardon from his successor We But know now this was not to be his heard and have been read concernnoted little has been vice president ing the woman who faces this Spirt T Agnew What we don’t dilemma and who know is if Nixon found a way to alone reserves the right to the get ride of Agnew thus turning ultimate decision the heat off of himself and step Those who fight for the right out of the limelight long enough to life are putting the cart beto plan his outgoing strategy fore the horse No person or You can’t very well impeach a highly-emotion- President without a vice president Was it a coincidence or had Nixon blown the whistle on Agnew? Whatever happened it could not have occurred at better time Now Mr Nixon would prepare his legacy for the American people by selecting his replacement and later resigning President Nixon’s choice (or was it preference?) was Rep Gerald R Ford who was made the vice president Dec 6 1973 Eight months later he became our first appointed President and 31 days after taking office granted President Nixon a full pardon Congressman Ford’s record will show that he consistently supported Nixon’s legislative policies So what’s new in the White Standard-Examine- al law-and-ord- er ng r: 'Not Your Day' Editor Standard-Examine- r: To the yellow VW Friday the 27th was not your day In the heavy traffic as that school bus stopped in the road to discharge its school children everyone stopped as they should have You were stopped two or three cars behind the bus and I was a passenger in the second car behind you The children were safely on their way home therefore the bus driver turned off his blinking red lights and slowly started to pull off to the wide shoulder of the road At this time a few cars including you safely passed the bus with room to spare Then the bus quickly accelerated on the wide shoulder and again turned on his blinking red lights then he stopped You were already past him The bus discharged no additional passengers All of this action took place in less than two hundred feef and less than two minutes time Unfortunately there just happened to be a city police officer right there to observe all this and gave you a ticket!
