Show Women' Group Leaders Hear An Appeal to Support Amendments "Opportunity rather than security" is the thing this nation needs. This was the main contention of guest speaker LeGrand Jarman when he spoke before a select se-lect group of civic leaders at a luncheon on June 12. The luncheon was hosted by the Iron County Farm Bureau Women's Committee at the Sugar Loaf Cafe. Setting the stage for Mr. Jarman's address were slogan signs reading, "Freedom Pays", "Know the Facts", "Be Informed", etc. Following an expression of patriotism, a song "My Own America" by Mrs. Jackie F. Robinson who was accompanied accompan-ied by Mrs. Myrna Mitchell, and the Pledge of Allegiance, the invocation was offered by Richard Nelson, Iron County Farm Bureau President. A welcome was given by Mrs. Judy Maxwell, Iron County Coun-ty Chairman for the ladies. Then Mrs. Elaine Nelson, who is Secretary of the State Farm Bureau, explained certain beliefs be-liefs held by the Farm Bureau Bur-eau which include "lack of government control" and a concern with keeping the women wo-men of Iron County informed about amendments which will be on the ballot this coming com-ing election. Mrs. Nelson then introduced Mr. LeGrand Jarman of Orem who is a former egislator and who is a former legislator and Farm Bureau. She indicated the small green belts with buckles and the words "Buckle "Buck-le Down and Vote" which were at each plate and explained ex-plained that Mr. Jarman would discuss all five amendments; amend-ments; but that the most concentration would be on the "Green Belt Amendment." Mr. Jarman discussed all of the amendments with emphasis em-phasis on No. 4. According to Mr. Jarman, the purpose of the "Gresn Belt Amendment" would be three-fold: 1. To preserve pre-serve agricultural land, 2. to prevent the sale of farm land for homes without orderly development, de-velopment, and 3. to discourage discour-age speculation. It was Mr. Jarman s contention conten-tion that such an amendment would encourage farmers to stay on their land at a tax they could afford to pay. In helping to educate members mem-bers of the Farm Bureau will be available througout the summer to speak at ladies clubs and other groups; an organized telephone campaign will be carried out; and letters let-ters will be written by members mem-bers of the Farm Bureau to families in the cities. Of the 23 women present for this luncheon the following follow-ing groups were represented: Phi Sigma Alpha, Order of the Eastern Star, American Legion Auxilliary, Escalant.- Women's Club, Literary Club, Reading Club, Chere Amies, Belva Zimns, League of Wo-mcu Wo-mcu Voters, and Uic PTA.
