Sometimes the politician choice is the people's choice and sometimes it isnt. Why tolerate such an antiquated and complex system? Every four years the people are amazed and annoyed to discover how little part they have in naming their party's candidate. When they read that the Democratic machine will nominate President Truman if he wants to run, Democrats who would prefer someone else, resolve that something should be done to give them a voice.

However, we always have and will continue to publish facts about sexual degenerates who are or could be a menace to our community. We therefore wish to call attention to a man who was arrested by our local sheriffs Saturday evening on a charge of prowling. This same man previously lived for a short time in Magna, had a sex record on the police books, and also admits to being a homosexual. The hands of our sheriffs arc literally tied, for the only charge they could place against the man until further evidence was available or warrants were sworn, was prowling. The stipulation was made in Judge D. S. Walker's court that a full report of the case be sent t j the sheriffs in Spring City, where the man will be returned but, is this the solution? We think not. We sincerely and earnestly believe that all possible psychiatric help should be given to such people, but our American Fork training school and the state mental hospital arc both vastly over' Hunter Forms Lions Club; Names Officers Carter Hess, residing at 4034 South baseball.

Surviving arc his widow, three sons, a daughter, his parents, two brothers and five sisters. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday in California and graveside services Friday in the American Fork City cemetery. Sincere sympathy is extended. The express need of the two pumps is to boost the present well water to the new reservoir located on 3500 South on 6950 West This will mean that a full 500,000 gallons of water will be available at all times for fire protection, a factor that will mark a milestone in the growth of community and should relieve the minds of local home and business owners. A further benefit will be the increased greatly pressure for homes. More than enough pressure to sprinkle and flush the toilet at the same time, long a complaint of local residents.
