Cleon Skousen at a Utah County American Party banquet Friday night charged that present political leaders are working in opposition to that dream. Mr. Skousen, founder of The Freeman Institute in Provo, explained to the estimated 330 persons that he felt it was not too late to return to the Con-stitution. "I can only say to those who are planning to load up their two-year- s' supply into their pickups and go to the moun-tains to sit this one out to unload," he said. He added that those who are dynastically rich (referring to the Rockefellers, the Fords, etc.) have never been taught the American dream, which is unqualified freedom for every man. Instead he charged, they have been fed the idea that socialism or communism will bring lasting peace to the world. He explained the difference in communism and socialism is bloodshed, and that socialism has prepared countries for communism. Mr. Skousen said that England is on the brink of collapse into communism because of the ills brought on that nation by its adherance to socialism. The speaker also lauded Soviet writer Solzhenitsyn for his efforts to tell Americans what communism is doing. He said it was an unexplainable act for President Gerald Ford not to receive the writer at the White House. "That's like turning down an opportunity to talk with Tolstoi or with Thoreau," he said. Mr. Skousen charged that detente with Russia is a morally empty concept, that the U.S. is buying peace ihrough capitulation. He also added that U.S. grain to Red China in 1961 helped to bolster that regime when its army was preparing to revolt. Concerning the next generation in the U.S. he said, "We have not only spent their inheritance but we have vir-tually emasculated the Con-stitution." The speaker noted that hardly anyone knows about the Constitution because few comprehend the spirit that moved the founding fathers to build such a document. He emphasized that radio and television is not protected by the First Amendment as is the press. He asserted that 150 stations lost their licenses because they went counter to the demands of Washington. "We have a job to do. We have the moral strength to rise up and restore the American dream," he emphasized. Mr. Skousen explained that for the past 40 years the American public has been fed ideas to cause individuals to become disillusioned with the Constitution and to advocate replacing the document with another one forged by in-dividuals in the modern society. "The Constitution is the in-spired golden mean, anything more or less than that document is evil," he said. Those attending the banquet included Robert Trepanier, state chairman of the American Party. Local Teams 2nd, 3rd in Tourney Two local teams finished second and third in the American Fork Steel Days tourney held last week. Packs edged Kazco 1 to reach the championship game against Phillips of Lehi. Marlin Barnes, Phillips pitcher had his stuff and defeated Packs Barnes allowed only four runs in the tourney over four games and was named the most valuable pitcher. Alan Green, pitcher for Packs leads the tourney in hitting with a .583 average and earned the most valuable hitter trophy. The Steel Days tourney committee and the Wendle Hansen family presented the first annual Randy Hansen memorial trophy. It will be presented each year to the individual in Northern Utah County who does the most to promote fast pitch softball. P.G. City recreation director, Bill Hoglund was named this years winner and most deservedly so. Bill has been instrumental in organizing the P.G. fast pitch league, Strawberry Days and P.G. Invitational tourneys that have given new life to fast pitch softball in Utah County in the last four years. Utes Top Team in Strawberry Little League Season The Utes have finished all their games in the Little League play this year and no matter what happens to the rest of the teams, the Utes have captured first place for the second year in a row. During their last week the Utes whipped the Giants and were beaten by the Tigers 6 to 5. The Cards were downed by the Phillies 6 to 5 and byes in their other game. The big bats of Barry Laga and Monte Ortega aided the Cubs to two easy victories and a tie for second with the Cards. The Tigers upset the Utes last week and are now in third place. A win and a loss has kept the Dodgers in fourth place. Both the Phillies and Pirates split the week with a win and a loss. The two are tied for fifth place. The Giants beat the Mets and are no longer last place. The loss to the Giants dropped the Mets to last place. Monte Ortega of the Cubs hit three homers last week. Dan Bigs of the Pirates hit 2, Greg Swapp of the Cubs and Guy Madsen of the Tigers each hit one. Standings Utes ...13 3 Cards 11 4 Cubs 11 4 Tigers 9 6 Dodgers 7 8 Phillies 6 8 Pirates 6 8 Giants 2 12 Mets 1 13 Scores Are Given in Recent Swim Aleets by Carolyn Allred The final scores in the annual Steel Days Swim Meet held in American Fork last week came as a surprise to valley swim-mers. Teams finished in this order: Provo 365, Orem 335, Pleasant Grove 322'2, American Fork 189, Springville 134, and Spanish Fork 127'2. Even before totals were in the Coaches, officials, parents, committee members and spectators voiced their protests. It seems trie com-plaints were all the same, the 1st and 2nd place teams had done much recruiting (some objectionable). Apparently some swimmers had been invited who ordinarily do not participate in the league. Among which are Dolphins (who compete A.A.U.) and a B.Y.U. team member still 18 years old. When the Utah Valley League was organized an attempt was made to control this. A rule was made that if a swimmer who competes on an A.A.U. level wishes to participate in U.V.L. he must participate on a city team by attending the majority of work out time and at least half of the dual meets. This rule still applies, however, it is simple for these people to attend 2'2 meets, a few work outs and step in just in time to walk away with all the 1st place trophies. It is most discouraging to our swimmers who compete in the summer season only, win all their races in dual meets and then have a "new face" appear at the Championship and walk away with the gravey. It was intended that U.V.L. would be the "training ground" where swimmers learned the skills and rules of competitive swimming. As swimmers advanced many would move into A.A.U. compition with B.Y.U. Dolphins who swim year around, competing all over the U.S. and sometimes as far away as Hawaii. They work out twice daily year around. We have a member on the Utah Valley Board who is willing and qualified to establish policies in the league. She represents you. She is willing to explain or discuss with you any questions you have concerning this or any other policy. Feel free to contact Mrs. George Gardner ). The Chairman of the board is also a resident of Pleasant Grove. Robert Davis en courages you to become in-volved. They desire to have the type of program you want. Earlier in the season Pleasant Grove lost Orem by a slim margin but defeated Provo easily by a score of 357 to their 221. We have many young swimmers who show much progress. A careful check should be made to see that they have a fair deal. The Utah Valley Cham-pionship Meet will be held in Orem July 29th for 2 year old girls and all younger swimmers. Again on July 30th the second group with 2 years old boys and all older swimmers participating. Both meets will begin at 5:30 p.m. It should prove to be an exciting event for all sport enthusiasts and it's free. Swimmers are asked to come dressed to swim at 5:00. No facilities will be available for extra clothes.

United Way Is People Helping People in Utah County Fund When we can help someone hear again, that is what it's really all about. The United Way of Utah County helps people; old people, young people, handicapped people. "The United Way of Utah County is in the business of helping people," states Jack Holmes, executive director. "We think of ourselves as an efficient delivery system of Human Services.". Last year more than 14,000 citizens in Utah County agreed with that statement, and contributed almost $300,000 to help people. "Many charitable organ- - I izations make lots of claims," I continued Mr. Holmes, "but the 1 United Way produces, We I publically show our results and I finances." 1 In the twelve years this 1 United Way has been in 1 existence, its' overhead has I never been greater than 10 i percent, while 90 percent of each contributed dollar goes to help people. Nearly all funds 86 per cent stay right here in Utah County. Each organ-ization receiving funds and there are 21 must undergo an annual complete evaluation of their programs and finances and submit an independent audit. "People helping each other is an American tradition," states Mr. Holmes, "and the Unit ed Way is an American creation. We believe in taking care of our own."
