National committee representatives and state leaders have been named. Now, with the backing of a strong Republican organization, the new leaders go to work. Now, too, the voter must dig in if 1956 is to be the Victory year from the White House down to the county courthouse offices.

Dawson Smearing Backfires By PAT SHEEHAN State Chairman , Young Republican League of Utah As we start into the campaign season it would be well to give some thought to our conduct as YRs, particularly in the heat of battle.

Being of the major features of the Cen- only 70 miles from Salt Lake City, the project Strawberry now is a major fishtral Utah Project that will furnish water for Utah's future will be enlargement of Strawberry Reservoir. The enlarged reservoir will store water gathered high in. the Uintah Mountains for later use in the water-thirst- y areas in Utah and Salt Lake valleys. The water now 137,600 acre feet per year runs to waste in the Pacific and of course, each of us will work in his own way for that candidate. However, we should remember that as a YR organization we are pledged not to support any candidate before the primaries. Now, this does not mean that as individuals we cannot commit ourselves. Quite to the contrary, for none of us should be fence; Ocean. sitters. As intelligent, informed young people, we should each of us be able to make a choice, and vote our convictions. Nevertheless, within any political party, factions do develop, and individuals do line up with one or another of them. The point to remember, though, is to be careful what we say outside the party conclaves. It is assumed that all Republican candidates are good candidates. You prefer one over the other for your own reasons, but do not make the mistake of disparaging the man who is not your choice. He too, has some good things to offer. In general discussion, never belittle a candidate, of your own party. If you are actively campaigning for an individual candidate, you simply point out the advantages you think he has over the other candidates. If you are asked about the other candidates, instead of ripping into them, mention their good points. You can do this, and still point out the advantages of your favorite. This makes you look good, too, for you are being objective, rather than emotional about it. The smear technique usually backfires, so it is preferable to be well informed with facts about the various candidates. If you can come up with facts, presented dispassionately, you are be far more convincing in your own campaigning. GOOD GOVERNMENT IS EVERYBODY'S JOB!

This will be increased to 1,370,000 acre feet under the Central Utah project making the Strawberry Utahs largest articifial lake. Major construction at Strawberry will be the building of Soldier a Creek Dam high, earth-fille1370-fodam long, nine miles downstream from the present Strawberry Dam. Overall cost of the unit will be $12,620,000 of which $500,000 would be spent for temporary construction headquarters. 268-fo- ot ot d ... FACE CHANGING The proposed enlargement of Strawberry to five times its present size will make major changes in the use and appearance of the area. The new reservoir will be seven to eight miles wide and eight to four mile arm behind Soldier fohr mile $rm behind Soldier Spring at the new damsite. The new reservoir will inundate several miles of U. S. highway 40 which now skirts the north margin of the present reservoir area. ing and recreation area. The proposed enlargement will only increase this incidental benefit to the state. Present fishing villages will be flooded out, but new ones wil spring into being along the shores of the enlarged reservoir. In addition construction camps will be available for recreation use after the project is completed. PARK PLAN The National Park Service, at the request of the Bureau of Reclamation, has already made preliminary recommendations concerning development of recreation facilities around the new reservoir. They include the development of a major tourist cabin area on Windy Ridge just west of Soldier Creek. The Park Service also points out that the reservoir will make several cabin sites available for development for summer homes. It is recommended that $275,000 be spent developing boating and fishing facilities. ... high rigid price supports from his Kasson, Minn speech in 1952. I dont believe the record shows that he committed himself to a permanent policy of rigid supports. He said the Republican Party stood behind the price support laws now on the books. This includes the amendment to the basic Farm Act, passed by votes of both parties in Congress, to continue through 1954 the price supports on basic commodities at 90 per cent of parity. This was a commitment which he carried out to allow the 90 per cent law to continue until 1954. It was at that time that the flexible supports law took effect. In the same Kasson speech, the President talked about the need e farm polto develop He declared: icies and programs. We must realize that no formula developed at any particular time is infallible He said he would like to see farmers get full parity. It seems clear he wanted them to get this in the market place, not by filling government warehouses. He said, All I know of farmers convinces me that they would rather earn their fair share than to have it as a government hand-out- . It is concinslve that following the Kasson speech and other farm speeches, the Farmers Union sent out messages over the country that he had not pledged himself to 90 per cent parity government supports. Prosperity Continues. Together with the heartening news that employment in Utah is 10,000 higher than a year ago, the national economy has continued to operate at high rates. The latest issue of Survey of Business put out by the Department of Commerce indicates that rising investment and growth of the more stable elements of demand appear to have offset the effects of reduced activity in the motor vehicle industry. Employment in establishments was 50.2 million in March. Small Business Gains. Wendell. B.

For example, from July to December of last year, Secretary Brucker reports that 40 per cent of all prime contracts with the Army were- given to small businesses. Barnes also testified that SBA was making more loans to more people faster and that SBA production and management programs 'are increasingly effective.' The total number of busineses has increased by about since the end of World War II. During the war, there was only one business for every 47 persons, while today there is one business for every 39 persons. Chemical Industry in ' Utah. Last Saturday completed Chemical Progress Week. This is of special interest to Utah because expansion of chemical industries is going to be a major part of our industrial development. A central theme of the week was the need to encourage young people to train for and seek careers in chemistry. Considering how rapidly Russia is catching up with us in scientists, this is a program we can heartily endorse. - one-thir- d |
