Modern Little Red Hen Tasks for our soldiers Dear Editor: Once upon a time there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered some grains ofwheat. She called her neighbor and said, If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it? Not I, said the cow, Not I, said the duck., Not I, said the pig, Not I, said the goose. Then I will, said the little red hen, and she did. The wheat grew tall and ripened into golden grain. Who will help me reap my wheat? said the little red hen. Not I, said the duck, Out of my classification, said the pig. Ill lose my seniority, said the cow.

Who will help me bake the bread? said the little red hen. That would be overtime for me, said the cow. Im a dropout and never learned how, said the pig. If Im the only helper, thats discrimination, said the goose. Then I will, said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them for her neighbors to see. They all wanted some in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, No, I can eat the five loaves myself. yelled the Capitalist exploitation, cried the duck.

The government agent came and said to the little red hen, You must not be greedy. But I earned the bread, said the little red hen. Exactly, said the agent. That is the wonderful system. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But, under government regulations, the productive workers must divide their product with the idle. And they lived happily ever after. But the little red hens neighbors wondered why she never again baked bread. free-enterpri- se Author unknown Submitted by Beth Pugh Kanab High School Senior, concerning our servicemen. First of all, there is plenty they could do right here in our own country. Patrol streets in dangerous areas is one, another is to escort residents of poor slum areas to stores, school, jobs they are afraid to go out of their apartments as their areas are so I understand there is a shortage of police they could help them out. Also, they could educate our troubled youth to make good use of their time. In Los Angeles a group of caring individuals have crime-ridde- n. gotten former gang members involved in a garden project. They are beginning to be experts furnishing food for themselves and kin. So successful they are selling vegetables also. The group helping them gave them garden space. The American Service person could do the same as the above with troubled youth and any good project could work. It can be done. I hate to see needless loss of life of our young Americans. require quite some time to recover physically and emotionally.

We want to express to the people of Kanab our gratitude for all that was done in their behalf at the accident scene and in the days following. As a result of the accident, we spent the better part of March 25 and 26 in Kanab. We had numerous expressions of condolences and offers of assistance to us. The hospital staff, the Sheriffs office, the mortuary, and other people of the town were so nice and helpful, it was really refreshing to be in a town with so many kind people. Our daughter is at home now with her husband and 18 month old son who survived the accident. She and her husband will More on the to Front driver Hooray for the Front seat driver! What a relief to read such an intelligent viewpoint. The Robert Redford incident was surely a low point in Kanab history. The prospect of having huge coal trucks filling our roads at frequent intervals is horrific! Think what it would do to our tourist industry. We also cannot believe our elected officials are considering having outside delinquent youths housed in our area. Hopefully there are sane heads in a position to discourage such negative enterprises and common sense will prevail.
