McKinley, chief of airways , facilities maintainence, 6th region, i was presented with a 35 mm Con-- 5 dor I camera as a farewell gift when he was transferred to Okla-homa City, recently. Local AMT's and MTIC's chipped in. Ray Steele and Grant Workman made a trip to the Black Rock beacon site Saturday night to make a repair on the beacon, wh-ich had blacked itself out. Ray said it was colder than a sob down there. Hatch Farsworth and Leo n flew the sedan to Vernal Friday. Took off at 0630, and made Vernal in good time. Once they set down at Vernal however, the wea-ther closed in and they were un-able to fly back to Delta. They went to Heber by bus, and were met there by Lee Gronning who brought them on home by auto. Larry Mijares was observed fly-ing around on Christmas day in the Champ. Don and Dorothy Bothwell made what she thought of her husband's a little Christmas flight. Asked piloting, Dorothy said there was ber of CAA radio range stations soon. Blabbermouth will automati-cally talk the radio facility ident-ification with a "voice" which will say, for example, "Long Beach omni". The mechanical voice will replace morse code identification. The device consists of a sound track on film, which is fixed to a transparent revolving wheel. A light beam and photoelectric cell translate the sound track vibration into broadcast "talk" as the wheel turns slowly. The film, being fixed in a place on the wheel, does not flex and so does not break or wear out. A Blabbermouth is now being installed at Salt Lake omni. of the underlying concept of demo-cracy, such doubts surely never feazed Mr'. Hilton. Furthermore, he takes intellectual hurdles that would stop the deep thinkers dead in .their tracks. He doesn't bother to draw a clear distinction between the concept of the constitutional republic, upon which our govern-ment was founded ,and the idea of democracy, under which it is disintegrating. "We do most of the work of government through chosen representatives", he writes, "which fact gives us a republican form of government. We thus be-come a democracy within a re-public". He may think this is all to the good, but I don't. I think the "democracy" within our re-public is a malignant thing that is destroying our government. The book is intended as a text for high school students. As such, I think it reveals the same defect as many another of the texts and teachings on "democracy" in our schools today. It gievs democracy and the ideal of human freedom a grand build-u- but it fails to warn, adequately, of the weaknes-ses and defects of democracy. Among the chief weaknesses of democracy, as it applies in a pop-ulous, urbanized, industrialized nation like ours, is1 the fact that the general public, instead of be-ing "educated, vigilant and active" in public affairs, as Mr. Hilton says they must be if democracy is just nothing like it. Melvin West was forced to de-lay his return flight to San Diego because of bad weather. His wife, Helen, returned by train Sunday. Even the CAA communications took a beating because of last week's storm teletype and inter-phone service went out of com-mission about midnight Saturday and had not been restored late Sunday. Since Delta could not re-ceive or send weather data by tele-type, its weather broadcasts con-sisted only of Delta weather. Delta weather data was telephoned to Milford and put on the regional teletype circuit there. Delta radio and range facilities continued in operation. Art Rose told me the barometer readings Sunday night were about as low as he had ever seen here. The reading was 24.70 at 1730. Mean in 25.19. The barometer had been falling almost steadily since Dec. 26. It's a fair bet that that means more storm. According to Mr. Rose, there are rumors that a CAA station may be established at Vernal. Mean-while, it is official that Milford communication and the Ogden to-wer will be closed Feb. 1. Also slated to close on that date are communications at Oceanside, Cal., and Donner Summit. Navigational facilities will be kept in service at thpeo ctninnd DEMOCRACY, IT'S WONDERFUL . . A noted wit once remarked of a Katherine Hepburn performance in the play, Little Women, that "she ran the gamut of human emotions from A to B". I can think of not more apt way to express my reaction to the depth of insight shown by Eugene Hilton in his 211 page book, The Foundations Of Freedom, than to borrow that expression. He probes the problems of human freedom and democratic government from A to B, and I don't mean C, and decides that all is well, or at least it will be as soon as we all come to realize that we can all help preserve democracy if we will all do our part in an intelligent, hon-est, upright and cour-ageous manner. We must of course be alert, and willing to tO SUCCeeU, are piuyaganuiicu, pid and slothful. Survey after sur-vey has shown that the majority of people are abysmally ignorant of the vital issues of our day. Be-cause they are ignorant and intel-lectually lazy, the people are easily swayed by propaganda and econ-omic and political heresys of all kinds. Furthermore, it is clear that such people cannot take the initiative in forming public opinion. What passes for public opinion today is all too often only the reflection of a propaganda campaign or a party "line" that is handed down from the top - - from the government to the people. Perhaps this is not so much a, criticism of Mr. .Hilton's book as a statement of differences between my view of the future of demo-cracy and his. But I see little point in anyone's arguing as he does, in effect, that democracy could be a beautiful success if people were different than they are. JET DOWN . . . CAA communications carry a lot of messages that could be turned into thrilling stories. Last Satur-day, for instance, .the pilot of an 6 Sabre Jet who had made a pass at a landing strip at Nellis AFB, near Las Vegas, and missed, reported over Enterprise and Mil-ford. He had only 65 gallons of fuel and was turning back to Las Veg-as. Ten minutes later he reported fuel down to 15 gallons, and said he knew he'd never make Las Vegas. A few minutes later, he was reported safely down at Over-ton, Nev. where he had landed on a 4800 ft. landing strip. Flyers do-ing 600 mph have to thing fast, and their jet planes cover a lot of territorfy while they are think-ing. BLABBERMOUTH . . . A new radio range safety de-vice known as the "Baby Blabber-mouth" will be installed at a num- - make the necessary sacrifices when called upon by our great leaders. Furthermore, God has protected us to a great extent from our own folly by making it impossible for us to alter - - so far anyway - -- such constants as the process by which sunshine manufactures chlor ophyll, and the delicate adjust-ment of water vapor, cloud, rain and snow. Oh, lucky people! If we fall by the wayside after these and many other safeguards have been granted by wise providence to help us along the road to governmental and spiritual perfection, it will be our own fault. The trouble with all this is that democracy, to use an exprtssion or iginated by H. L. Mencken, "has lived too long, and descended too deeply into the mud, to be taken seriously hereafter by fully liter-ate men, even of the kind who write schoolbooks". To me, it is incredible that anyone can take the attitude toward democracy that Eugene Hilton takes, after all that has happened in the last twenty years.

Arrington, assistant professor of economics at USAC, re-cently published an article in the Western Humanities Review maga-zine regarding the colonization and growth of the Pahvant valley in Millard County. "For many years explorers re-garded the Pahvant valley as in-hospitable and uncultivable," Prof. Arrington states. "It is now lush with alfalfa and wheat, livestock and poultry. In-deed, more than one fourth of the alfalfa seed in the United States is now produced in this valley. "The human struggle which brought to pass the transformation of this barren wasteland into a productive agricultural settlement of 5,000 persons is illustrative of this stubborn sacrifice which re-- 1 suited in the colonization of much of the Great Basin."
