One or the other will gain control of the Government But the losing party will still have a strong voice in the national councils. It is different in Germany, in Italy and in Russia. One political party and only one commands the allegiance of all the people. None has a voice in the Government of Russia unless he is a Communist. None but Fascists cijn vote or hold office in Italy. The National Socialist Party, the Nazis," exercises supreme control in Germany. Those who do not adhere to the party line are purged by exile or assassination. Secret police and volunteer spies see to It that the party leaders learn of the first sign of disaffection by any citizen. A mere hint may send a political leader to a concentration camp, to the prison colonies of Siberia or to face a firing squad. Those conditions have been imposed since the World War upon the relatively free peoples of those nations, under the guise of democratic processor. They are examples for democracies.

The proposed project, requested of the State Road Commission by representatives of the Firemen, Legion, Lions, Boosters and other organizations, tentatively outlines new sidewalks, new curb and gutter and a resurfaced road from gutter to gutter for the entire length of Main street, corner to the curved comer on the east end. No definite time or budget allotment has been set up Tor the projects as it is only a preliminary survey to determine the necessary their improvements, cost and so forth.

REGISTER IF YOU WISH TO VOTE IN FALL sway over their nations destinies, the danger arises that control may become tyranny. We have never faced that danger in America yet. Our citizens have always been alert to exercise the right of criticism and opposition to the party in power. There have been long periods when one party or the other had apparently unbreakable control, but whenever the people have felt that such control tended to become oppressive, they have voted the ruling party out of office. But the losers still retain the right to representation, and to protest the acts and policies of the winners. They can strive to regain power, and frequently do. As the political war starts on the Democratic and Republican battlefields, registration dates . take on intensified importance, as all voters in order to vote, must first be registered. The registration dates are Aug-- . ust 13 and 17, September 10, 17 and October 8, 15, 29 and 30. The primary is September 3, the runoff, October 1 and the election November 5. Immediately after October 15, and within three days, a list of registrants will be placed in a public place and left there until Many Magna, Garfield and other residents, turned out enmasse to witness the Salt Lake City Covered Wagon Days parade, participated by the American Legion Junior Drum Corps and the Magna Sea Scouts. 0 It was estimated that over people saw the parade.

Blight Strikes Tomato Plants In County Western Yellow Blight has destroyed thousands of tomato plants in this vicinity this year, according to information received from the county farm office. Spraying, dusting or irrigation fails to stop or check this damage. The disease causing this condition is not new, but has struck with unusual severity this year. Many patches have been almost destroyed. The disease is reported to be carried by the white fly, which goes from one plant to another sucking the juices from them As TKis disease is common to many weeds, beets, and other plants, it is easily carried to the tomato. No treatment or effective remedy or prevention method has yet been successfully used. For a number of years experiment stations have been trying to develop a strain that would be resistant to the disease but thus far been unsuccessful. . |
