Soon the quet, peaceful atmosphere was po " more and the sheriff had to hire a deputy to help him keep, if possible, the quiet peaceful atmosphere. With the increase of the population, of course, many disputes arose as, to how things should be done, so the mayor was asked to form a council. For a short while everyone was happy.

Nw4y. 1 A GOOD CASE can be made for the suggestion that the study of the feasibility of the proposed public system for criminal cases in Utah be expanded to include custody cases in Juvenile Court. As is pointed out by Judge Regnal W. Garff Jr., president of the Utah Council of Juvenile Court Judges: The parental right to custody of children is very precious and justifies just as much protection and consid-in eration as those rights in jeopardy criminal matters." Moreover, since most cases where custody is terminated involve parental neglect, the families involved are primarily those with low incomes "who-mlack adequate means to hire at- in' Security er torneys. -- By ROSCOE DRUMMOND PARIS What is President de Gaulle really up to?
