ASHBY, Rooaevelt FAYE JENSEN CORRESPONDENTS Give Your Support Where Needed Again we are facing a series of celebrations which seem to vie for the attention of residents of the Basin. The first of the three consecutive weeks would be the UBIC, running August 7, 8, and 9. The following week, the Uintah County Fair will capture the attention of those to the east of us, and still the following week, the Duchesne County Fair has slated three days of activities, August 21, 22 and 23. It stands to reason that there will be much duplication of effort in these three celebrations. Most Basin residents will have some interest in all three, and should be directly involved in at least two. It is clear, too, that none of the three events can stand as a single community effort By this we mean that un-lethe Uintah County Fair is a combined effort of all the communities of the county, it will lose its effectiveness and be unsuccessful The Duchesne County ss Fair must likewise draw support from every section of the county or the efforts of the many indi- viduals and committees will have been in vain. By the same token, the UBIC, to be the effective tool of unity for the Basin, must draw from every part thereof. Again, these functions are not community affairs. The UBIC does not belong to Roosevelt. The Duchesne County Fair does not belong to Duchesne, and the Uintah County Fair does not belong to Vernal. They were instigated and perpetuated for a purpose. The fairs are to give county residents a chance to display their accomplishments, and to fraternize with others in the county. The UBIC is designed as a force for unity within the two counties. It can provide a talent outlet, socialization and cultural enjoyment for everyone. True, you cant fully supall three. But at least give port what support you can to the two that directly involve you. New Horizons needed! The tremendous exhibition of skill, technical advancement, and personal courage displayed by the three astronauts in their weekend jaunt to the moon certainly does much to raise the stature of the free enterprise system throughout the world. This achievement by the United States, after starting the space race way behind has captured the fantasy of all the people of the earth. Few of us actually realize the time, effort, knowledge and money which has gone into the moon landing program since its inception. Nor do we fully realize the complicated technical computations that were necessary to take man to the moon and bring him back to earth. We do know, however, that a commitment was made. The U. S. decided to go to the moon, and they did just that This proves again the often claimed fact that the free enterprise system offers boundless horizons. We can accomplish nearly anything we set our minds on. With this thought in mind, could it be possible that the United States needs to set its sights on another horizon that of bringing peace to the entire world. Right, the U. S. cant do it alone. And, it cant be done with money alone, since it is impossible to buy peace or friendships. However, if the United States can put into play enough intricate and complicated systems to take man to the moon, doesnt it seem possible, if all system were go towards a particular goal, that some formula could be forthcoming that would bring about world peace, as well as end the strife and contention within our own nation? We do not wish to belittle the accomplishments of the astronauts. But now, with this step taken, we need new horzions to to cross. Perhaps the fight for peace is not as glamorous as the moon landing, but certainly it should be widely acclaimed. At least it is something to think about as we ponder the return of the moonship. Dear Editor; We would like to take this opportunity to clarify a statement made In tlie Uintah Basin Standard last week concerning work that was done at Duchesne on the Pony League Ball Park and supervised by Mr, Troy Bailey. We would like to state that Mr. Bailey Is an employee of Uintah Power and Light Company rather than Moon Lake Electric Association as stated In the article. However, It Is not unusual for Uintah Power and Light Company or Moon lake Elec-tl- rc Association to have equipment and personnel work together on any civic project that Is beneficial to our consumers. In fact, Moon Lake and Uintah personnel and equipment worked together on the Roosevelt little League Ball Park, Union high school Lighting Project, and numerous others throughout our areas. It is the desire and order of the Board of Directors of Uintah Power and Light Company and the Board of Directors of Moon lake Electric Association that our crews and equipment work together during any time that we can be of help in any civic project that Is beneficial to the consumers of either company In the areas we serve.
