What does he do for people? Let us take Walt Whitman. Walt was a carpenters son, a handy boy with axe and with everysaw, used to plain ways and hard work, pleased he grew up, the where Island, In and Long everything. body life of America swirled around him the farms d with their growing, the sea with its commerce, the cities noisy with making and building. Walts quick eyes saw it all, and the stir and beat of it got into his blood. Every man eventually gives back to the world what has been given to him. So Walt in time took the great pulse of hope and excitement that America had put in his heart, and began to make a book of it. Leaves of Grass he called it a book as boundless and as an uncut field, blooming with every fresh, that ever grew inside Walt Whitman, American. thought green He wrote of the lovely body of his country its mountains, rivers, prairies, seacoasts; the wet small of its woods, the cool breath of its winds. He wrote of his countrymen at work; stevedores, herdsmen, preachers, Congressmen; the teamster with his sweating horses, and the farmer with his whistling scythe; all stirring, building, buying, selling a nation of brothers and equals, happy to be going somewhere 'together. Whats a poet good for? To give us words for the music in us. To give us words to live by; great, swinging words for our dreams to march to. For just as it takes a child to remind us of the joy in simple things, so it takes a poet to show us the wonder of what is before our eyes. Walt Whitman did this for us and one thing more: He showed us that America itself is the great poem to be written, and each of us is its poet, adding our verse to the big book that never ends. many-side- free-growi- . . . People vs. Bureaucracy The most frequent question brought up by independent businessmen, according to the 300 manfield force of the National Federation of Independent Business is how government has gotten into the position it is now in. The emphasis is on the heavy expenditures. This is a source of wonderment, it is reported. It is difficult to isolate a single cause, but the biggest factor is that the Congress has let too much of its authority slip away The Founding Fathers of this nation expected Congress to take care of this chore, and it is a chore that must be continually attended to, otherwise, bureaucracy, like Johnson Grass, takes over everything. Recently, Congressman J. Arthur Younger of California gave an example of unbridled bureaucracy at work. Last year, he says, the Interior Dept, set up a new bureau known as the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. It was set up with a budget of $28,000 and 15 employes. In the fiscal 1963 budget it had grown to $1,100,000 with 95 employes, and now in fiscal 1964, $2,462,000 is wanted, plus 218 employes. This has been done, Rep. Younger says, before Congress has given any approval to the whole idea in the first place. Congress could, with little effort, recapture fiscal control of the government and hence avoid such flagrant abuses of the public from it. Thus, perhaps in the larger sense, the responsibility goes right back on the people of these United States for not paying sufficient attention to Congress. It is probably quite fruitless to expect any single man in the White House, regardless of who it is, to correct the existent evils. There is little possibility of the American people electing either a stupid man, or a rascal to that job, because there is no selection that is made with a more merciless glare of publicity, more deeper probing into mans background, connections, than goes into the election to any major political office. The real issue today is the people versus bureaucracy. This battle has defeated the people in many countries. The usual solution is that eventually a dictatorship is established to head the nation, and with dictatorial powers, bureaucracy can be chopped down. purse. But before this is done, Congress must have the feeling of assurance that the people are most conscious of what Congress is attempting to do. Thus, perhaps in the final sense, responsibility for a fiscally sound government lies with the people themselves. If the people continue to neglect their responsibilities as citizens, then perhaps they cannot point the finger at anyone.

Scholarship With school high boasting of Merit headlines Scholarship winners, and college folders listing how many Merit scholars they attract, its hard to believe this gigantic prize competition is so young. Its the biggest scholarship jackpot in the country, totaling nearly $500,000 for 1,000 winners. And as its not government-supporte- d some mistakenly believe. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation was founded only in 1955 with a Ford Foundation gift. Now about 100 businesses and foundations are sponsors. Any high school senior can try out for a Merit Scholarship, and most of them do in the spring, test, offered for a nominal registering fee. Schools predict that over 700,-00- 0 hopefuls will take the qualifying exam next April, from which 10,000 finalists emerge. The second hurdle is the Scholastic Aptitude Test. A finalists aptitude test score, plus his overall record is weighed-i- n to determine who gets the scholarship. . Scholarship quotas are arranged on the basis of school populations of the states. A Merit scholar receives from $150 to $1,500, depending on how expensive the school of his choice is. And theres something in it for the college, too; N.M.S.C. gives it a supplement to make up the usual deficit not covered by student tuition. "Eddie's Father af- - be- - and 9:45.

Mr. Feulner didnt attempt to drain the soil like so many of his predecessors had. Instead, he dug numerous trenches about a foot deep all over the ground he was experimenting with. He filled these trenches with cinders. On top of that he spread loads of top soil from the mountains. This layer was put on about a foot thick. The alkalinity has never come back up through the soil in the many years since he laid this drainage bed. Now he had a layer of the best soil possible, with an ideal drain-age- d bed underneath.

When the foliage on his fruit trees began to turn yellow, he knew there must be some unexplained reason. He had given them good care, but they seemed to just lose their green coloring. He had a fur farm on 8000 West, just south of 21st South. He had seen various agencies put thousands of dollars into drainage projects in attempts to rid the wastelands in the western areas of Salt Lake Valley of its alkaline content. It was this type of ground on which his fur farm was located. Ground Experiments So, he got to experimenting with the ground. And now, at least one phase of his story could to be labeled, from grease-woo- d g delphinium. He began clearing a few acres of the greasewood which was so plentiful. At one spot there was such a mammoth clump of this pesky desert weed that Mr. Feulner almost tipped his tractor over trying to uproot it.

Worthy Experiments His drainage experiments and findings have been some of the most worthwhile contributions to J the communty and the state ever made by any one individual citizen. His theories on the quality of water being more important than quantity, have contributed much to the knowledge of internationally. His work as the national chairman of the ornamental plant improvement committee for the garden clubs deals with organizing a plan for improvement of plants for the nations gardens in regaid to all of its phases.
