IIow about some contract to clear the sidewalks and crossings? MV Z Facts of Education Editor Tribune: Mr Charles Kelly of Torrey Utah had a letter in your Forum (Jan 22) disparaging Utah public schools I have two aims in writing a reply to his letter First I want to dispel any ideas your readers may get that he represents any general beliefs of patrons of Wayne County schools Second I would like to educate Mr Kelly” Mr Kelly writes: “The whole trouble is apparently the lack of long distance planning especially in relation to the school situation Sufficient taxes are being paid but as Gov Lee says it is being spent for ‘foofaraw of essentials” instead d days-Woul- No specific example is given for “foofaraw” so I can only guess at what he means but I know he used poor authority when he leaned on the governor The courts have ruled against Gov Lee’s ukases directed at the schools in every instance that has been brought before them Statewide referendums have further discredited him so Mr Kelly will have to find other authorities if he wants to prove his case by depending on “authority” instead of facts I don’t believe he himself knows what he means by “foofaraw" If he knows what be means I urge him to come to a school board meeting and tell the members whst is on his mind Mr Kelly is sure to get much local ill will because he is a well paid employe of a federal agency that has recently provided him with some expensive living “comforts’ to replace “esequipment— sentials” Wayne County citizens are about to celebrate the opening of a fine new (R-V- t) (Ind-Ore- U-tu- By Ham "V A woman motorist stopped by police for speeding said she

she had been in Communist company She has repeatedly denied any Red connections ' Interestingly former Senator Harry P Cain of Washington state a member of the Subversive Control Board believes that a bad security system could lead to damage as serious as a “whole clique of spies ” Mr Cain was once a spokesman for the extreme right in Congress so his realistic appraisal should be heeded by his former colleagues A bill is on file in Congress calling'for a bipartisan review of all aspects of the security system The improvements and restorations are no cause for a nationwide celebration Many wrongs remain unrighted Many damaged reputations have not been restored but it is comforting to know that at this time — when increased external '"dangers make high morale and unity at home all the more necessary— the trend seems to be back toward the real American way We must remain constantly alert to subversive infiltration and influences but we can cope with them while adhering to the
