Far from it. It is, in fact, one of the most curable of the major diseases. Yet the Society also points out that more than 100,000 Americans, who might have been cured, will die of cancer this year. If their disease had been diagnosed and treated in time, chances are they would be alive and well. Why wont they be? of them have Many perhaps most doubtless heard of the need for early diagnosis and treatment.

Now, there are no toilets for public use, and with as many people as could be accommadated in 50 outfits, there would be a rather large crowd. Much is said about allowing cows and horses near rivers and certain other places in the state. This condition at Utah Lake is among the worst, but to my knowledge nothing is being said about it. The area at Lincoln Beach is ideal for camping early in the season when it is too cold and damp to go to the canyons. We need toilets and garbage cans. We need picnic tables. A camping area could be developed on the flat above the lake that would be superb. There is a good view of a wide sweep of lake from the place I have noted. A road could be built tq this flat, with parking places for trailers and campers. The marina and boat harbor, built a number of years ago, is washing away and needs repair. State funds could be used to good advantage and I would like to see this project pushed for the benefit of many people who enjoy the Tab-ath- benator VlOSS TO m6T .1 area farmers with AT April 22 is set aside this year as Earth Day." Earth Day is a commitment to make life better, not just bigger and faster; to provide real rather than rhetorical solutions. It is a day to the ethic of individual progress at mankinds expense. April 22 seeks a future worth living. The Utah Division of Fish and Game supports the principles of Earth Day and welcomes the help of students and citizens in the fight against pollution, littering and abuse of our natural resources. The future of wildlife is closely tied to the future of man. The Division sincerely hopes that Earth Day activities in Utah will result in constructive action and programs that will provide solutions to our environmental problems.

She says that during her lifetime there have been a number of times when they have been spoken to her and the circumstances involved have definitely been the upsetting kind. She is referring to the phrase which usually is a prelude to BAD news, Now dont get upset. Alice says that whenever anyone starts a conversation in that manner she knows that the remainder of the talk will not be pleasant. She says that her first memory of hearing them was at the time of her little sisters death when a neighbor came toget her from school and take her home before she heard the news accidently. She says now that she knew the neighbor was trying to be kind in her own way but she hadnt been able to use the right words to soften the blow at all After she had waited in the hospital waiting room for hours while her mother was undergoing emergency treatment and the doctor began his consultation with the family with those words she knew that things were very serious. When husband came home from a conference with his boss and asked her not to be upset she knew for certain that the words were just breaking the news gently to her that he had been transferred and that they would be moving to another part of the nation. Whenever she has heard the unmistakable sound of breaking glass and had someone come from that vicinity and announce, Now dont get upset, she has been prepared to hear the inevitable news that it wasnt just an ordinary drinking glass or a dime store vase but was indeed her prized crystal heirloom. Orchard hills main street Her husband knows how she stews and and worries that everything must be just exactly right when guests come into their home so when he finds it necessary to invite some company executive to dinner unexpectedly he is sure to announce their visit with those familiar words. Alice says the phrase reminds her of the nurse or doctor who announce to the patient, Now just relax, this isnt going to hurt, and aim a monstrous looking shot needle at them. I dont know how YOU react to these words but I find myself in the same position as Alice, just hearing the words seems to upset me. frets GROUND THE fl feTOWNToEJ by B Davis Evns Dear Reader: A feller would have to be mighty stupid not to realize that spring is here. The grass is green, the trees that should blossom are blossoming and as one drives through the country areas Round the Town, one sees a carpet of green. Now this carpet of green brings me to my subject for today: The American Farmer, or The Utah Farner or better still The South Utah County Farmer. A good farmer loves to watch the green stuff grow, but it takes a lot of doing to make it grow. A farmer just cant stand out in his field and the green stuff grows; he has to be outstanding in his field. I spent the first 25 years of my life on a farm and one thing I learned well was that it takes more than watching and praying to make things green. The last time I tried farming, I plowed up 25 acres of beautiful ground and planted it into fall wheat. Spring came and I beheld what I thought was the most abundant stand of wheat Id ever seen. Nothing to this farming, said I, just plant good seed in good ground and a fellers got it made. About May 1, I stood admiring my crop, thinking Id harvest more bushels per acre on that ground than any farmer had done prior to my time. Suddenly an old timer who lived nearby, climbed through the fence and helped me admire This effort, in cooperation with other groups and organizations, seeks to secure 100,000 signed letters commending the astronauts and thus Mrs. O Hara's efforts. Lest we take this lightly, we should be reminded that through this womans efforts, we awoke one morning nine years ago to find it illegal to read the Bible and pray in public schools, and we would be sorry if through default, she were successful in this latest atheism. Your letter is needed, and a form letter is supplied below. Detach this part of the sheet, date your letter and be sure to include your name and address. The letter must be signed by you in order to be effective. Ask at least five other people to write also and dictate to them my crop. Good stand there, son, he said, but do you realize about half of them there shoots are wild oats? Cant be," said I. I didnt sow any wild oats. (I meant that literally, not figuratively). You dont have to sow em; they just come. Them there seeds can sometimes lie dormant for seven years and then all of a sudden they decide to sprout, stated the old codger. It was just my luck. They waited till I started farming then they came to life. Sorry boy, and the old man climbed through the fence and left me with my misery. That old feller was right; I harvested one of the best crops of half and half in the valley (half wild oats and half wheat). A good friend bought my half and half to feed chickens. He paid me half of the going price ofwheat.(Sorta seems that my farming came in halves doesnt it?) Well, anyway I made enough to pay for harvesting, seed and the I pulled out of my car by pulling a trailer load of half and half. You know I had enough money left over from that crop to take my wife and me out to dinner and see a poor movie. Well there it is...My last day on the the plowing, transmission Thelma Lance I am sure that all of us throughout the world must have shared together the anxiety that came when the Apollo 13 developed trouble on its recent flight to the moon. I am certain that there were a great deal of us who realized the great danger that these three men were exposed to. It was only with greatest cooperation that this mission came to a close with a happy ending. It could have been a major disaster, so very easily. I do believe that this was a miracle and that these men who brought the Apollo 13 home in safety must have been inspired of God. I am sure that there was a great deal of prayers said, whether audible or silent, and that these prayers were answered I feel that this is one privilege that man should have without accounting to anyone when he feels that he should pray or for that matter, when he feels he shouldnt. I think that prayer is a bond between the individual and God and should not be questioned by any other person. What business is it of anyone else? Why should anyone care whether or not prayers are said in school or in the individual .home? Could it be that the people who are advocating the abolishment of prayers be afraid of the great bend that exists between God and man? If you want my own interpretation of people like this, I think that they are nuts. They must have had a really bad experience at some time in their lives to make them turn against God to the extent of trying to change everyone else. Misery likes company. I have known a great deal of heartache in my lifetime and have experienced just about every kind of situation, whether in my own life or in the association with others and I dont know what I would have done without the help of God. There is a certain kind of comfort that comes with prayer that nothing, but nothing in the whole world can replace. I say, Down with the person who would cheat us of the opportunity to pray as we wish. If there are any of you among us that dont know or understand what has got me all wound up today, it is the information that reached me that a certain atheist crusader has started a movement to abolish prayers of all kinds, in the space flights. Can you imagine denying these men the right to pray? May I quote you from the letter that has reached me? It goes as follows: Astronauts threatened by censure for reading the bible from space while orbiting moon, December, 1968, Recently, Madoline Murray OHara, the atheist crusader obtained 27,000 signed letters protesting the decision of the astronauts to read the Bible as a Christmas message to the world from their spacecraft while orbiting the moon in December, 1968. She plans to present these to the NASA with a demand-tha- t they be publicly censured for their act, and to prevent any further demonstrations of faith by public leaders. By the form below. Date NASA Manned Spacecraft Center Astronaut Office Houston, Texas 77058 Dear Sir: I ' personally appreciate and support the decision of the astronauts to read the Bible from the spacecraft as they orbited the moon during December, 19G8. I further support the right of every human being to express his faith in God and the Bible publicly without fear or threat of censure. Sincerely, whole-hearted- (Signed) farm. To this day I feel as though I should take my hat off whenever a dirt farmer passes by. He gambles on frost, hail, wind, wild oats, drouth, bugs, etc. etc. I suppose about the best conclusion I can place on this column is: God Bless Em. ly Address City State Zip Code Please send your letter today!
