Show i "ROUND THE TOWN" by Dear Reader: of all All I know about the big world beyond our little valley, I learn from the reading the newspapers or picking it up from the boob tube. I wish I could relax in the face sible. 5. - Davis Evans thats going on but I find it impos- When the University of Utah allows old Skummy Locks Ruben, one of the Chicago Seven, to come on a campus where he can influence our youth and be warmed in a building that is heated by my taxed dollar, I think its time something should be done. The bum used so many filthy words in his speaking that only a few sentences could be broadcast. Speaking of the University of Utah, the contrast in that campus and the Brig- ham Young University campus. Theres enough crummy looking bums roaming that U campus to frighten a feller. Recently I everyone should visit the place and note laaamaamaaaaa nnaonmar THE The View From Here By Ruth Roth innnTiririnrinrirmnmririririnn I recently visited for an hour with a friend of mine, I dont go there very often because for one thing Mildred doesnt give you the impression that she has time for you just any old time. Mildred could be called Mrs. Clean in person. She isnt . mQJTMQEilEQQM DODGE CHALLENGER Right, Sheriff, because our stocks are finally up on our new sports compact, Dodge Challenger, the most successful car the Dodge Boys have ever introduced.

NEW DODGE CHALLENGER RT. :the PAINTER MOTOR COMPANY Payson, Utah 103 North Main Street CHRONICLE 3-- visited the huddle; its a cafeteria on the lower floor of the Union Building and as my family and I carried our trays to a table everyone seemed to be looking at us. I asked my son who was a student there what everyone was staring at us for. Youre different pop," he answered, Youve got a hair cut, youre wearing a tie and youre too clean for this place. I then looked carefully at the patrons seated all about; nearly all the fellows had long hair and beards; a guy sitting at the next table was clad in an all leather outfit. The trousers had been worn so long without being cleaned that one could see oily areas where his body oils were seeping through. His girlfriend had on a navy coat, frayed levis, long unkept hair and no sign of makeup and by golly she had a bundle setting by her chair that looked like a sleeping bag. They sat smoking, drinking coffee and reading out of big hairy books. As I walked out of the place, I thought: What an idiot I am to spend hard earned money to send a boy to a place like this. The U is a powerful school but Im merely mentioning this experience as an example as to what is happening there. I hope something can be done before it turns into another Berkley or worse. They say an institution cant force kids to do certain things because we live in a democracy. How come then that when one joins the army one gets his hair cut, one baths, etc. etc. Arent our branches of the armed forces part of the same democracy? I read where in Oh! Calcutta! a dirty stage play on broadway, 'that tan men and women are stripped naked and act out sexual pervisions and there are three or four other plays to which the crowds are rushing to see that are just as filthy. Mayor John Lindsay claims that there is no legal definition under which the law can act against dirty shows. They just dont know what to call pronography within the framework of existing court decisions. Isnt that enough to make you bawl? Would be smart men cant decide whether its nice or not to have naked men and women running around on a New York Stage. If a court cant decide thats nasty, they dont know nuthin." Well, the newspapers and the boob tube are letting me know day after day that our civilization is on its way out and I get a little shakey. It would sure be nice if some important feller came along who had lots of power and smart enough to determine the difference in whats pronographic and what isnt. Dan Valentine says that some fellers think that pornographic material is something you can play on a pornograph. just fussy clean, shes fanatical, antisep-tical- ly clean. The day I stopped at their home she was out sweeping the back yard and driveway. Now you may wonder what makes this so unusual. First of all they dont have any pavement anyplace, it is just plain dirt surface that she was sweeping. Second of all, she sweeps the area every day unless it is too muddy or too snowy. She invited me in the back door. When we entered the back proch she carefully placed the broom in the broom closet then removed her shoes and put them outside the closet door and motioned me into the kitchen. I had removed my own shoes and put them carefully by the kitchen door. She noticed and said, Oh no need for you to leave your shoes off." But I noticed that she had a thankful expression when I didnt put them back on right then. As we sat in the sterile living room I sat on the edge of my chair for fear of touching the crisp white doilies on the chair, but as I became observing I felt more at ease and relaxed a bit. Each chair and couch was protected with thin plastic covers as were also the doilies so it looked safe to sit there for a few moments at least. Mildred has never held a church position or done any civic work or attempted any phase of the arts. Shes just neverthought she had time. She has a definite schedule for her home and yard and I had known just where to expect to see her when I drove over at three p.m. I decided that perhaps she wouldnt be so worried if the yard sweeping didnt get done as she would if I had interrupted something like dishes. Her friends used to say that she even had the babies trained when they were young so that they cried right on schedule. And Ive often said that if she saw my house on some busy days when Ive rushed through my duties so that I could do other important things she would have a nervous breakdown just thinking about it. Mildred wont use the same soap or towel as anyone else, not even her husband and children, even though she loves them very much. She once heard of a family who buy a couple of toothbrushes and family members just use them together. It had such an effect on her that she couldnt eat the rest of the day. Her husband down through the years has of necessity become fussier and fussier. But he still hasnt lost his sense of humor about the whole thing. He came in the house before I left and walked me to my car. Mildred had said good-b- y at the edge of the driveway and was busy with her broom. As he looked at her so happily working he said grinning, I guess when she dies Ill have to put a nice new polishing cloth in her hand so that she can start work on the pearly gates and get them polished up nice before she goes in to greet Saint Peter. Shop At Home And Save Time and Money Seeking balance John Carew, Chairman of the Horticulture Department at Michigan State University, was tired of the emotional aura surrounding much of the cry for a balanced environment. Seeking for some rational balance, he penned the following words in a style. We think you might find this message as refreshing as semi-scriptu- we did. In the beginning There was Earth; beautiful and wild; and then man came to dwell. At first, he lived like other animals Feeding himself on creatures and plants around him. And this was called In Balance with Nature Soon man multiplied. He grew tired of ceaseless hunting for food; He built homes and villages. Wild plants and animals were domesticated Some men became Farmers so that others might become Industrialists, Artists, or tors. Doc- this was called Society. Man and Society progressed. With his ingenuity, man learned to feed, clothe, protect, and transport himself more efficiently so he might enjoy life. He built cars, houses on top of each other, and nylon. And life was more enjoyable. The men called Farmers became efficient. A single Farmer grew food for 45 Industrialists, Artists and Doctors. And Writers, Engineers, and Teachers as well. To protect his crops and animals, the Farmer produced substances to repel or destroy Insects, Diseases, and Weeds. These were caUed Pesticides. Similar substances were made by Doctors And God-giv- en to protect humans. These were called Medicine. The Age of Science had arrived and with it came better diet and longer, happier lives for more members of Society. Soon it came to pass members of Society That certain well-fe- d Disapproved of the Farmer usingScience. They spoke harshly of his techniques for feeding, protecting, and preserving plants and animals. They deplored his upsetting the Balance of Nature; They longed for the Good Old Days. And this had emotional appeal to the rest of Society. By this time Farmers had become so efficient, Society gave them a new title: Unimportant Minority. Because Society could not ever imagine a shortage of food Laws were passed abolishing Pesticides, Insects, Diseases, and Weeds flourished. Crops and animals died. Food became scarce. To survive, Industrialists,' Artists, and Doctors were forced to grow their own food. They were not very efficient. People and governments fought wars to gain more agricultural land. , The remaining few lived like animals. Feeding themselves on creatures and plants around them. And this was called In Balance with Nature SPARKEYS T. V. Make the right move, the bright move to Challenger. .
