In wilderness I can fin I some peace and quiet and a brief respite from the motorized mob that threatens our land with dirt hikes and Wutnebagos.

Apnl 1) states an interesting fact, i e , 14.7 million acres of federal land have been designated by Congress for wilderness preservation. This is approximately one half of one percent of the land area of the United States. Just for perspective, consider that more than four times as much area (GO million acres or two percent of America) lies under pavement. That should tell ilie perceptive individual something about the predominant value system currently In vogue in our country. Events are beginning to indicate that it may not be the tight value system.

The forest is a Baker Herere the Notes The assumption of note inspection seems to be that reporters keep files of old notes the way expense account artists keep tax records, all ready to be produced for perusal on legal demand. New York Times Service NEW YORK Having once worked as a newspaper reporter, I am worried about a squad of judges, cops and lawyers bursting m some night while I am j slumbering through Poldark and demand- ing to see my notes. The possibility that my notes might one day have to stand inspection by the law did not exist at the time they were . tif ' papers, so naturally j '4 ' - j It was fear of just such a humiliation that sent me looking for my notes recently. I knew there would be few remaining, of course, but there might be enough, I thought, ?o justify buying some file cabinets, salting a few dozen hie folders with the real thing and padding the rest of the cabinet space with forged notes that would at least trick the inspectors into admiring my professional zeal. I was not very conscientious about their appearance. Most of them, in fact, were thrown away. What remain are in no shape to stand inspection by a law that admires order. Among the few on which I could lay hands during a recent search there was a scrap of paper bearing nothing but the word nickel. 1 believe this dates from the late 1940s when I spent nights reporting holdups in West all such activity was conBaltimore ducted with either a blue steel automatic or a nickel-plate- d revolver, and that this note refers to a job in which a weapon of the latter type was used. Ne Other Note On the other hand it could refer to some business about the stockpiling of nickel which I vaguely remember covering in Washington during the Eisenhower years. There is no other note attached to clarify the matter. I should hate to be snapped to attention by note inspectors and asked to explain what I meant by keeping a note as sloppily as I have kept this one. They would probably cancel my weekend liberty pass. PARC1IHG L SATURDAY AUGUST 8:30-4:0- Asleep on His Feet' What I discovered would have outraged every judge, cop and lawyer on the hunt for powerful legal juice. Except for an entire set of mimeographed White House press briefings about President Eisenhowers heart attack and these had been recovery in Denver in 1954 stuffed years ago Into a hole behind a sink to keep out a rat that had stolen a pair of my there was absolutely nothing eyeglasses decipherable. A piece of lined paper bearing the words asleep on his feet" obviously dated from 1958 and described Sen. Estes Kefauver camI knew this paigning for the because I remembered Kefauver campaigning like a man asleep on his feet, but the paper bore no supporting data to give it weight in a court of law. Indeed, I could easily visualize a hostile cutting me to ribbons on by asking how I couldbe so sure it did not refer to the Congress of the United States at almost any period during my seven years as a Washington reporter. In fact, now that I considered it, maybe this note did refer to the Congress. Possibly even to Sen. Barry Goldwater, whose presidential campaign 1 covered briefly in 1(M. The discrete thing seemed to be to destroy this note, and I did. I did the same with a note that bore the lines Rain Getting Worse and Seat Very Hard and Cries of God Bless Her. This was clearly a note I made while covering the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in Since this was the only note I could find on that event it had been tucked Into a copy of Tropic of Capricorn to mark a particularly lubricious passage it was obvious that its disclosure in court could ruin me by suggesting that I was the sort erf journalist who once wrote a 2,500 word story on the strength of one three-lin- e note. m m 1 destroyed it to protect her reputation, then destroyed all the other notes I could find in order to protect mine. If the inspectors ask where my notes went Ill tell them the rats stole them. (Copyright) August 2, 1878 Yesterday evening about 5 oclock, a report reached this city that the town of Alta, Little Cottonwood, was in ruins. Telegraphic communication wag cut off, and it was impossible to get any word from the scene of the conflagration. Up to 10 oclock it was a suspense here, as nothing could be heard from Alta, but our reporter was at the Utah Central Depot when a special coach returned and there met Mr. Ed Hall, who witnessed the disaster. Mr. Hall, upon interrogation, told our reporter that the disaster began when the Swan Hotel became engulfed in flames, and the fire quickly spread to surrounding buildings until the whole town was one sheet of flame. Losses were variously estimated at $50,000 to $150,000 with very little Insurance. August 2, 1928 Amid the plaudits of several hundred persons, Ray T.

LANE for a Editor, Tribune: With much interest, I, along with everyone else, have been following the Vitro tailing situation that Rep. Dan Marriott has sponsored back in Washington, in the House Interior Committee and the Energy Committee. Is it for political reasons tnat Rep. Gurr. McKay has not cosponsored Rep. Marriott's bill, or is it that he does not care what continues to happen out here in his district? The way I read the bill sponsored by Rep. Marriott is there are three uranium mill tailing sites ift McKays district and only two in Rep. Marriott's district. Cancer and leukemia has taken many of our loved ones near the tailing sites. Please Rep. McKay don't play politics with your constituents lives! Let's get McKay-ou- t of there and send another Republican like Dan Marriott, to represent us in Washington! WILLIAM J. MARTIN on MoneyMarket Certificates. M 11 Tailings Politics We wrote the book 0 55 So. First of all there is absolutely no cleaning deposit. The landlord simply rebates approximately $20 a month for every month that the tenants take excellent care of the rental property. This means that in one years time the tenants can earn themselves a whopping $240, and at the same time tie landlord could easily save himself that much or more in possible damages. Now for the renters to receive any rebate at all they must exercise the Rental Rebate Program trie entire time that they are renting. If they dont then obviously there isn't any rebate. One obvious benefit from the plan is that it would be an incentive for the landlord to provide much nicer li ing quarters as well as motivate the tenants to keep them nice. I have tried this and renters really go for it PATRICK W. MOORE Layton The Way It Was Here are briefs of news in The Salt Lake Tribune from 25, 50 and 100 years ago: A rather good note found in an envelope of snapshot negatives contained the full details of in which a a flim-flawoman had been robbed of her lifes savings. Written over It In large, heavily Inked letters, however, was the word gin. This was obviously a reminder to take borne a bottle of gin sometime between the years 1947 and 1950, but It took no imagination to see that a good lawyer could easily construe it to suggest that the poor victim had connived in her elderly flim-flaown ruin by succumbing to the juniper juice. UTAH IDAHO SCHOOL AND OFFICI SUPPLY CO. 1 Editor, Tr.bune: This letter has to do with a close relative of inflation rent. Along with everything now days rent has also sky rocketed. Leases are being used more, and landlords are being more strict. This often leads to friction between tenants and landlords which sometimes leads to considerable damage by tenants to the landlords property. 1 have been a landlord for several years now, and it is in the best interest for your property to have peace with your tenants. The point in my writing this letter to The Tribune is to promulgate a new incentive program for both tenants and landlords. It is called the Moore Rental Rebate, and this is how 1953. y. IT Brittle Plan Work, lawyer For all I know, reporters nowadays may actually do so. If so, this confession about the disordered state of my own notes will doubtless cost me severely in esteem among colleagues. It would be even more humiliating to have it trumpeted in headlines.
