Mohr Christensen Escalante Make '74 sweefer To the editor: r,l Many writers have tabbed 1973 as the most infamous year in the history of our great country, and who can dis pute that fact, considering all the shenanigans that have been pulled? It appears to me that the only difference between this year and the other years is that the pullers' were caught. Now we are in a poor situation, citizens of the greatest and wealthiest nation on the earth having to foot the bill for the and selfish interests of a eompar- -' ative few so the only thing left to do is to make the best of this unpleasant situation, and make lemonade out of the. extremely sour lemon that we hve complacently let ourselves get into. . Lets sweeten the lemonade with a determined, positive attitude, and irake a high and holy resolution that we will not let ourselvps be blindly led into a similar situation.. One very important way is to exercise our right to choose by voting. All of us who failed to vote in the last elec?is are very welcome to any unpleasant thing that might happen. e can further sweeten the lemonade by walking more instead of riding, as we will become healthier through the exercise. Where we have to drive or ride, we can form and get better acquainted with our fellowman. I have been trading rides for years out to Kearns Jr. High,, and to Brockbank Jr. High, and I have enjoyed immensely the fine company of my fellow riders.
