Show It's The Signs Of The Times As I review your excellent articles arti-cles of Thursday, July 1; "Editorial: - .Freedom For How Long", and the .front page information (re) .'Bennett, Liston Explain Wilder-, Wilder-, ness Issues To Washington Staff, Press," encourages me to send you -my letter written as I contemplate ..the questionable position we now jBnd ourselves subjected to, since .the unconstitutional "Executive tQrder", (from Arizona, Grand Cannon Can-non Ledge) declaring thousands of acres, within Escalante, a "National Monument", without the consent of Congress, which I believe is Law, in the case of the People's Land, designated Federal; meaning, as I read from my American College dictionary, 4."a federated body formed by a number of states, societies, so-cieties, etc., each retaining control of its own internal affairs." ' I am reminded as I consider this E.O. within Utah's state jurisdiction, jurisdic-tion, of the pioneering struggle the brave souls exemplified in their determined stance to seek their freedom free-dom of worship and Liberty of production pro-duction to an ever evolving better life then and in the future. "God Bless them all, I say". Surely there is an inherited strength of principle somewhere in the genetic substance of today's humanity to see that we remain the "Republic", fought with such bravery brav-ery and determination in our beginning begin-ning revolution. I personally feel a tremendous horror at the thought, that by the voice and hand of one man, these Freedoms and Liberties are being obliterated. This being the case, can you even imagine the possibilities of the horrors that may be visited upon us? An example is now seen and documented in Kosovo. It is time to ask, do we honestly want to be a part of "The New World Order"? I cringe at the very thought of it. Finally, I believe the roads issue is symbolic of the times we now live in. If they are closed to "Access" we lose thousands of chips on the "Field Of Dreams". There are those who desire to save the wilderness from the vandals, (these we always have with us) but let me remind you, to let the constitution con-stitution be vandalized of but one word and all may be lost? Its the signs of the times." Doris M. Lawson Kanab |
