Most drinks over the bar are less potent than those mixed by most people for themselves Most people don't consume as much liquor in a bar in an evening as whcn they supply the bottle Liquor over the bar doesn't force a drink upon anyone Any state that believes that hiring a public relations man will sell the Salt Palace to potential convention groups is out of his head Outside of Utah there are few good words and fewer words of praise for Utah It's not only the last frontier it's the lost civilization This state has the drawing power of zero for most people For them the reputation of Utah is Mostly that of negativism Not everyone needs a few drinks to have a good time but most people resent being forced to live by religious beliefs that differ from their own People won't voluntarily visit an area where their rights are infringed upon RUSTY GAGNON te Save Those Canyons!

11 d I b C k v v Still even after the excitement of recent weeks and after avoiding intervention in the Middle East the President does not command majority support for his handling of the war in Vietnam What Mr Johnson's poll record on Vietnam indicates most clearly is that Americans — hawks doves and moderates alike — wanc the war over with and that a bombing pause or an escalation or anything else that seems to promise a quick end to it will get at least a momentary welcome — But if present policies are substantially maintained even the administration claims little ahead but a long and costly war Gen Westmoreland and the Joint Chiefs are now said to be asking for 700000 more men New Spurt May Come -
