Show Editorial Page Feature ala Queen May Open Royal Palace to Visitors Dedicated to the Progress And Growth of Central Utah SUNDAY,FEBRUARY 4, 1968 Uvida's ‘Blueprint for Action’ Utah Valley Industrial Development Association's “Blueprint for Action” seems to be stimulating considerable enthusiasm for industrial and economic progress across the county. Already presented to city officials and others interested in several communities, the blueprint seeks to motivate valley-wide effort and support behind Uvida's program of growth through industrial development. It seems to promote personalin- volvement on the part of every citizen; growth and expansion from within (expanding on existing businesses, industries and services); an aggressive program to attract new capital and industries; and long-range efforts to develop the “whole community.” In their meetings, Uvida officers call attention to the services now available through the organization and its agencies. These include counseling, assistance in creating new companies, aid in financing, community profile analysis, land use guidance, ete. Possibly the greatest outgrowth of the “Blueprint for Aetion” meetings is motivation given the coinmunities.

Prince Philip has been particularly anxious to do away with much of the stuffiness and withdrawal that traditionally has hemmed in the British monarch.

Dr. Mason had returned and was ready to go back to work, All I felt was a sense of regret — I felt better than I had felt for years; I was rot tired or tense, and I had worked longer hours and more unremittingly than I had in my internship. For a few days, the time passing had meant nothing and had not even been noticed; the job at hand had been the most important thing. It had been medical practice in its highest sense — done because the people there needed it, and benefited by it, and without any financial problems, either for them or for me, It had been made possible because a group of people who believe that life should be lived as a service had worked to makeit possible, For a few days, I had been a part of that, angry about Vietnam that we have to vent our emotion on somebody or put it to beneficial use, At present Orem City is leasing this water and the culinary users are not receiving any benefit the have a right to winter water in the river from Oct. 31, when the irrigation season ends, to April 1, when the next year’s irrigation season begins, “Sure, we're SATED with sex and violence—ano how “" all these $100,000 pro goli tournaments!’ aad z 3 g E lres Our Citizens 3= @ ge un.

The Pueblo is handy. You get mad at the boss, you go home and kick the dog — it doesn’t really solve anything. It's Vietnam — North and South — that’s bugging us. Before our frustration leads us into some ill-advised act of desperation, let’s recognize whatit is we are upset about, Sen, Ted Kennedy recently returned to repeat the frequent indictment of our it allies, ‘The South Vietnamese are diverting military supplies to private hands; some are getting rich on this war. South Vietnamese soldiers in the field take three-hour lunch breaks. While American sons are dying, South Vietnam refuses even to draft its own 18 and 19year olds. When Kennedy confronted South Vietnamese with this fact, they often replied, “Why should we draft our sons to fight an American war?” This is the sort of thing which concerns our officials and confounds our citizens, More and more I hear Americans protest that there is nothing — nobody — in Southeast Asia worth fighting for. No politician, this election year, is prepared to recomment “all-out or get out,” and these really are the alternatives. Every day, I care less and less whether we drive it over or park it over there, but I insist that we should do one or the other. “You mean turn tail — surrender — lose face?” We've had no “face” in Asia for 20 years, T'm convinced Americans are big enough to say “We goofed.” De Gaulle issued such a publie confession after the Algerjan war. He not only did net lose face; he ended up with more cheek than ever! A 70-pound sled dog can pull a load almost twice his weight.
