(Continued from page one) savings in the stock of companies in which they have faith. Millions upon millions of people most of them of moderate means have done exactly that. The number of capitalists grow each day. The stock exchanges and brokerage houses of the present dont exist for the few they exist for the many. The welcome mat is out to the small investors as well as the large. And the rules and laws regulating the securities industry imposed both by the stock exchanges and by government agencies are designed to give the public maximum protection against fraud or misrepresentation. The Communist bosses are not fools. They are fully aware of the fact that a nation in which great numbers of people voluntarily buy a personal stake in free enterbulwark against prise becomes an ever Communist doctrine and ideology. So no lie is extreme enough when it comes to attacking Wall Street. There are way too many capitalists in America to suit the dictators. more-powerf- ul The Vigor Of Youth One story of coal is part and parcel of the history of the nation. It was first mined in America near Richmond, in 1701. But for 50 years there was little development become the abundance of firewood made coal seem unnecessary! Then coal was taken up by the forging trade, which became its principle market. As enthusiasm for freedom and independence flamed through the young nation, soft coal became established as a vital ingredient in the manufacture of war materials. New deposits were found and new mines opened. Means of transportation were established. As the nation grew, the importance of coal grew with it. Now we have other and newer sources of energy gas, oil, and the atom. Experimental work ils being done in the hope of ultimately being able to harness and put to use solar energy. But coal still holds its place as a basic resource, without which the countrv as we know it could not exist. We use some 500 million tons of coal a year now, and this figure is expected to double in the relatively near future. Coal is one of the oldest of all industries but it retains the vigor of youth. m Where Advertising Is Welcomed An impressive evaluation of the merits of newspaper advertising as compared with television advertising has been provided by Robert J. McBride, director of Research for the Detroit Free Press. lie says: People watch television because of the entertainment commercials actually are intruders. A survey by North-wester- n University shows thaat 01 of housewives would prefer TV without commercials. At the same time, advertising is an integral part of the newspaper. Readers buy the paper for the ads as much as for the editorial matter. Both men and women readers plan their shopping from the newspaper. 'Hie Northwestern survey shows that 9 2rr of the respondents want their newspapers with advertising. This brings Mr. McBride to his completely logical conclusion: The advertiser gets the best results when his message is welcomed and desired. Environmental Agency Presents $3.6 Million Grants To Utah Environmental Protection Agency officials presented grants totaling $3.6 million for Utah water quality and waste water management. EPA Regional Administrator John Green presented the six grants this morning in Gov. Calvin L. Hamptons office. The money wil be used by local agencies to develop water quality plans with the goal that all water in the state be clean enough for swimming by 1983. The largest grant, $1,046 million, went to the Salt Lake County Council of Governments. Others were for Weber River Water Quality Planning Council (Weber and Davis counties), $827,000; Mountainland Association of Governments (Summit, Utah and Wasatch counties), $670,000; Southeastern Association of Governments, (Carbon, Emery and Grand counties), $380,000. Also, Five County Association of Governments (Beaver, Gar- pected sources of waste water, such as municipal and industrial discharges, feedlot runoff and city storm runoff; evaluate land use and environment trends; select best treatment systems for the area and set up a regulatory and management program to insure proper construction and operation of the systems. The grants were provided under Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act amendments of 1972. Rampton said when he was first asked to designate portions of the state to receive planning money, his decision was to designate all of Utah. But then Mountainland Association of Governments asked that it receive a separate grant to do its own planning, so Rampton decided to name specific areas of the state for thep rogram.

Jubal Hale, executive director of the Federal Metal and Non Metallic Mine Safety Board recommended that his agency be abolished when nothing was done he told reporters about his plight. The publicity was succesful when the House voted some 400-1- 6 to provide continuing federal agency spending without including the safety board. Salt Lake City Police Department needs some $5.6 million next year to replace equipment and continue present operations. This according to Police Chief Dewey Fillis. Salaries make up some 72 percent of the figures without a cost of living increase or increases in manpower. The $5.6 million is up $170,000 over last year with part of that going for employees merit raises. The Salt Lake County Grand Jury handed down another indictment this week, its fourth since beginning its deliberation several weeks ago. The nature of the indictment and that name of the accused will remain secret until the indicated person has been arrested said Third District Judge Bryant Croft. Salt Lake City Judges salary hike will have to fit into the total budget picture along with other city employee raises judges representatives were told this week. At an executive sesion in the mayors office the representatives told the city commissioner that a cut in their scheduled pay hike would hurt the quality of justice in Utah. The increase salary is needed to preserve the independence of the judiciary said city court administrator Fred Oswald, City Commissioner Jennings Phillips said that the city is facing lay off of 50 or more employees in order to give other city employees a 10 percent hike. A long sought revision of Salt Lake Countys business license revocation ordinance becomes law this week. The revision an amendment means that the county commission can no longer revoke a business license without first providing notice and the right to a hearing. In the past the commission and the license holder have been confused by lack of revocation procedure. The University of Utah will study the financial impact that would result from closing overnight concession operated accommodations in Zion National Park. According to the park service the study is to be finished July 31 and will be performed by the Universitys Bureau of Economic and Business Research. National Park officials said school researchers are to study what efects there would be on surrounding communities if the overnight accommodation were halted plus the economic effects of improving existing facilities. |
