The program makes an interesting and informative club event, Mrs. Fletcher said, and organizations who are now workprogram ing on their 1967-6calendars can book it now, well m advance of the date desired. Mrs. Fletcher said inquiries should be sent to her attention at Gold Strike Stamp Co., 2191 South 2nd West, Salt Lake City. Gold Strike is the annual sponsor of the contest in Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Montana. In addition to her work in organizing the ideal homemaker contests in those four states, Mrs. Tletcher is the mother of two eenage daughters and is active in various theatre and community projects. She has had important roles in many University of Utah plays and is past president of the University Theatre Guild. She has also been active in the Mental Health Junior Association, Aid Travelers Society, League, Red Cross and United Cerebral Palsy. For four years, she hosted an educational program for preschool children. Remember, if you would like Mrs. Fletcher on your clubs calendar you may reach her at Gold Strike headquarters. n A Word from the Vice President It (Continued from Page One) was the old lesson: Elections are won or lost in precinct, wards and townships. We will have many assets in 1968. In President Johnson, we have a leader who has brought unprecedented progress and prosperity to our nation. Our national record is one which merits the support of all the people in America. The Presidents proposalse to the new 90th Congress are equally impressive and forward moving. They are proposals each of us can vigorously and wholeheartedly support. Under the leadership of Chairman John Bailey, the Democratic National Committee will, in the months ahead, be doing everything possible to bring our message to the people and to help our Party build itself at state and local levels. The appointment of former Congressman Charles Weltner as Deputy Chairman in charge of the new Young Americans Division and of William Phillips as Deputy Chairman for Research and Publications will strengthen the Committee in especially im- portant areas. The groundwork that is laid today, both in Washington and in all 50 states will be critical in 1968. I call on each Democrat to begin building today, in his community, county and state, for the contest only a few months ahead which will have so much to do with the future of America. Shall we stand still or move forward? Shall we look ahead or turn back? Shall we place oiir faith in the future or join in wishful nostalgia for the past? For Democrats, the answer is clear. I give you the last words ever written by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The only limit to our realization of tomorow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith. Let us move forward in unity and with confidence in the President who has brought to America a new measure of opportunity and freedom. U.S. Labor Court Legislation is Sponsored by Utahn Legislation which would replace the National Labor Relations Board with a U.S. Labor Court is being sponsored by Sen. Wallace F. Bennett I believe the establishment of such a labor court would vastly improve the expeditious and impartial administration of the laws which govern Sen. relations, said. Bennett National Labor Relations Board members at the present time are appointed by the Presiterms. Two of dent for five-yea-r the five members of the present Board are not even lawyers, the Utah Republican stated. Sen. Bennett, who is joining Sen. Robert P. Griffin in sponsoring the legislation, remarked, The Board often undertakes to write the labor laws instead of exercising the restraint of a judicial body with the limited functions of interpreting and applying laws made by Congress in accordance with the intent of Congress He added, Since it has be (R-Uta- h). labor-manageme- nt (R-Mich- .) come common practice for the Board to overturn and reverse its own decisions, lawyers have had great difficulty advising their clients about the state of the law at a particular time. The legislation I am sponsoring, Sen. Bennett said, would establish a U.S. Labor Court with 15 judges who would serve for a period of 20 years at an annual salary of $33,000 each. With terms, I feel there would be more reason to expect decisions based on Congressional intent. The bill also would authorize the establishment of divisions, consisting of one or more judges to narrow and eliminate the backlog in case handling, Sen. Bennett said. The legislation provides for the appointment of an Administrator and the appointment of not more than 90 Commissioners, who would have to be lawyers, to replace the present Board trial examiners. The duties and functions of the Board and the General Counsel would be performed by the Court and the Administrator, the Senator stated. Sen. Bennett added that the 20-ye- ar (he- Club women and civic organ-zatioin this area will soon s be able to take a look at what goes on during the annual Mrs. Amer- ica competitions. Mrs. Raymond S.

Simpson Steps have been taken under a directive from President Johnson to assure that rural communities in Utah have access to all existing services in their local development efforts, Douglas T. Simpson, chairman of the states Technical Action Panel for rural areas, said today. Mr. Simpson, who also is state director of the Farmers Home Administration, a Department of Agriculture rural credit agency, said the system will be oper- ated through county Technical Action Panels throughout rural Utah. The county TAPs will serve as central, one-stosources of on information programs available to rural communities that might help them solve economic problems and develop community facilities. The system has been ordered to carry out an executive order by President Johnson that Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman put the facilities of the Department of Agriculture field offices at the disposal of all Federal agencies to assist them in making their programs effective in rural areas. Mr. Simpson said it will advance the Agriculture Departments outreach program, designed to insure that rural community needs are not overlooked, and that rural people know of programs available to them both through the Department of Agriculture and other p agencies. Technical Action Panels include local officials of Department of Agriculture agencies (Farmers Home Administration, Soil Conservation Service, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, Forest Service) as well as the Extension and Vocational Agriculture Services, and representatives of other federal or agencies that have services to offer in rural areas. The state panel includes state heads of the various agencies. Local organizations concerned with community advancement will be able to determine through their county Technical Action Panel whether a federal, state, local or private agency can help with a project that cannot be carried out solely with local renon-feder- al New Book Series Reveals 1920s A new series of books, called Time Capsules, will be introduced here and in approximately 20 other major cities in the U.S. it was announced by Time-Lif- e Books, the publisher.

GRAPEVINE v f -- Sanctions by the Utah State Nursing Assn, against members accepting positions with the Salt Lake County Health Department were lifted this week. The action came after Salt Lake County Commission recommendations by US-tfand Dr. J.

Rehiring of nurses will begin immediately. ap-jrov- ed A A new bond issue to establish lunch facilities in Salt Lake City elementary schools was called :or this week. The issue may go as high as two million dollars. The suggestion came in a memorandum to the Salt Lake City Board of Education approvel by he Hot Lunch Committee of the n Salt Lake City Community Program. Ac-;io- A check for $14,000 was pre- sented this week to the Utah Symphony Orchestra by the Utah Symphony Guild. The presentation was made during a luncheon by Mrs. Vincent L. Rees, guild treasurer. Demonstrations or violent dramatics are not the way to secure equal rights for Utah minority groups, Gov. Calvin L. Rampton advised a local National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People Chapter this week. During a capitol meeting with James H. Gillespie, Ogden branch president, the governor said progress is being made and it is coming through continual examination of the problems and action where it can be taken. Proposals of a citizens advisory committee of how to raise $1,872,000 in additional revenue for Salt Lake City during the coming year were presented to the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Governors this week. The reaction of several Chamber of Commerce leaders was that businessmen should not be expected to carry the burden in finding new sources of revenue. E. W. Jenkins, Chamber president, said it would be a great mistake to place Salt Lake area retailers at a disadvantage with other merchants through any revenue raising proposals. Gov. Calvin L. Rampton this week agreed to commission a study of Utahs nursing situation. He agreed to the action after a meeting with Mrs. Cora-len- e McKean, president of Utah State Nursing Assn., and Mildred Quinn, University of Utah College of Nursing dean. Legality of the 37th Utah Legislature action raising state lawmaker allowances and fringe benefits was questioned this week by the State Board of Ex- aminers., At Gov. Calvin L. Hamptons request Atty. Gen. Phil L. Hansen agreed to research the matter and seek a declaratory judgment in court if this seems necessary. |
