Dvfs Ivhm Dear Reader: Met a young lady school teacher in Salt Lake City the other day. It was Saturday and she was headed for the city library. Now theres nothing strange about the story so far. It was how that gal was dressed that threw me into a state of wonderment; she had on a mans suit, complete with vest, a D. and L job, 1938 vintage. You dont know what D. and L stands for? Thats Deseret Industries where a whole family can be outfitted for under 25 bucks. Now this high school teacher was accompanied by two of her students; neither of them had seen the inside of a barber shop in at least two years, maybe three. They wore washed out levis and old sweaters and one of the characters was bare footed. They looked like a trio headed for a masquerade of some kind instead of to a Yes that public library to do research. on what I ask didnt research. right, subject they planned to write, but Ill bet it had something to do with weakness in the American Way of Life. But as I watched those three walk down the street, a sudden thought came to me: "Maybe our young people need to be subsidized by their Uncle Sammy. We do a lot of talking and worrying about long hair on boys, grubby clothes on girls and boys, but maybe that $2.50 per haircut is a little high for these kids, Now if their Uncle Sammy picked up the tab for about a buck of that, it may no longer be a problem. Sam subsidizes the railroads, air companies, big businesses of all kinds, foreign countries, etc. etc. He may as well do the same to our youth. Now that kid who wore no shoes may have gotten some had his uncle helped him out or those two boys may have worn slacks out in public had they been dolled out some dough and their teacher may have worn a dress like a lady had Sam given her something for nothing. But thats the way it is, May, 1970, too many people all over the world standing with outstretched hands wanting poor old Uncle Sam to shell out just a few more sheckles and if he doesnt do it, they immediately change his name to Uncle Shylock. I may be wrong about those grubby kids but I still sorta think that if they were paid to clean up, they may do it. principals organization had voted to have the Nebo Teachers Association negotiate their salaries for this year.
