Mayors Get Defense Picture Look at Utah Defense Seminar Sixteen city mayors, council-me- n and other officials got a first-han- d look ata the defense picture in Utah during a day and a half Utah Defense Seminar held at Camp W. G. Williams, train-ing site of the Utah Army Na-tional Guard, last Friday and Sat-urday. The course was the first in a series sponsored by the Utah National Guard to brief Utah's civic leaders on their role in the defense of Utah. The group lis-tened to presentations and in-spected training facilities of the camp and then held a number of informal discussions on each subject. The mayors were informed how law enforcement officers at coun-ty and city level are being train-ed at the police academy by Utah Highway Patrol and Utah Peace Officers Association instructors. They discussed the urgent need for training specialists to estab-lish effective civil defense organ-ization throughout the State. An-oth-briefing covered the train-ing of Sheriff deputy jeep patrols by the Utah National Guard Spec-ial Forces personnel and the Fish and Game Commission's survival training course is being conduct-ed there to teach people how to survive under the most difficult conditions. "Classes on all of these sub-jects are being taught regularly at Camp Williams," Maj. Gen. Maxwell E. Rich, Utah Adjutant General stated. "Our objective is to train specialists in all of these fields for every city and county in Utah." "Those attending our Utah Defense Seminar indicated they would send some of their key men to take these courses," the Gen-eral added. Indicative of the high interest was the statement of Mayor Will-iam Welsh, Price, president of the Utah Municipal League. "I'll back this program 100 per cent," he stated, after attending the course. Mayor Paul T. Fordham was among those who attended the course. Polio Program Will Seek to End Disease With the complete eradication of polio in Utah as the goal, state and county medical leaders met Tuesday to outline unified plans for a state-wid- e offensive using Salk vaccine. As a result of extensive im-munization programs in the past, Utah, fortunately, has a high per-centage of its population vaccin-ated. A wonderfully successful drive last spring and summer re-sulted in thousands Of Utahns getting their first and second shots. The third and final shots will be administered in "free" or "at cost" clinics around the state this spring. Dr. Ralph Jorgenson, president of the Utah State Medical Asso-ciation, and Dr. Carlisle Thomp-son, director of Public Health for the Utah Department of Health, in a joint announcement, said: "Our goal is to reach 100 per cent of the population." After the meeting with county health officials from various parts of the state, the medical leaders announced that programs to combat polio have been or will be promoted in most counties this year. With the recent licensing by the U.S. Public Health Service of Sabin Type Three oral polio vaccine, there are now available two vaccines, Salk and Sabin, for the prevention of polio. Because of the limited supply of the Sabin, or oral vaccine at present, it was recommended that it be used for the protection of infants before their first birth-day. Since the quantity of vac-cine required for this age group is small, it is expected that im-mediate planning and placing of orders will produce sufficient or-al vaccine for this group to com-plete the series before the onset of the polio season. It was reported that there should be sufficient Salk type vaccine to meet the needs of all others in Utah so that local phy-sicians and health departments may plan to complete Salk im-munization programs with con-fidence. Individual physicians are being urged to have a supply of both the Salk and Sabin vaccine on hand for private patient use, if possible. The Utah State Medical Asso-ciation and the Utah Department of Health will be in constant sur-veillance of any polio cases that might occur and will be prepar-ed to undertake mass immuniza-tions in any community where such a program might be deemed necessary. Vaccine will be reser-ved for any such emergencies. It was also pointed out that planning for a Sabin oral vaccine program on a community-wid- e basis be done now to prepare for the time when sufficient oral vac-cine is available for general use. This would include three cam-paigns one for each of the Type 1, 2, and 3 vaccines at approx-imately six-we- intervals. It was recognized that such com-munity programs will require con-siderable before they can be undertaken successfully. ii 4 . J HAROLD W.

The new well, on which drilling was recently com-pleted by the Eldon Comer Co. Lehi, at a site south on Loader Lane. According to City Councilman Gerald Klemm, the new well will prove a valuable asset to the city when conditions demand It be placed into service. Harold Smith, supervisor of city utilities, stated that at re-cent tests, over an eight hour period, the well produced a con-stant flow of 5.6 cubic feet of water per second. This amounts to 2,500 gallons per minute, he explained. Mr. Smith said that the site for the well Was determined af-ter an exhaustive geological sur-vey of the local area by Dr. George Hansen of BYU. The sur-vey was made three years ago. Dr Hansen said that the alto where the well is located was the best in the entire locality. Water was secured at the 410 foot level, which was much soon-er than anticipated, Mr. Klemm said. For the most part the drill-ing was accomplished through clay, coarse gravel and boulders. Mr. Smith said that the new well is now "sealed off," await-ing engineering advice regard-ing a pump and the enlarging' of adjacent water supply lines.

And millions of Americans witnessed the making on television or heard it being made over radio. For the first time in this scribe's memory, a president of the United States had the guts, determination and the vocabulary to stand up and tell the leaders of the strongest corporation in the world the errors of their ways. Rodger Blough of U.S. Steel, and several other of the "me too" leaders of America's steel companies "took it laying down." President Kennedy didn't hum and haw or mince words. He let the profit hungry steel magnets have it straight to the chin. He said a raise in steel prices was "entirely unnecessary, unfair and unjustifiable and an injustice to 180 million Americans. The steel companies backed down on their proposal to hike the price of their product by the amount of $6.00 per ton. Nobody, so far as we have heard, feels sorry for them. Everyone who viewed Mr. Blough's "back down" speech on television Friday night, was struck with the idea that U.S. Steel's chairman of the board acted like a boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar. In contrast to Jack Kennedy, he seemed at a loss for words. All this is understandable when one considers the fact that the President was right and Mr. Blough was wrong. It's difficult to defend an erroneous position. You have nothing to stand on. A President of the United States has tremendous powers, if he has the intelligence and cour-age to use them. Franklin ,D. Roosevelt proved that, when he took his problems to the people over the air in his celebrated "fireside talks." The inflation which has plag-ued this country ever since the end of World War II need never to have happened or continued in a never-endin- g spiral since then. A President with strength, deter-mination and courage could have halted It in its tracks. Thank the Lord for radio and television. And thank heaven for a President who has the cour-age of his convictions. You can bet your bottom dol-lar against all the rubles or pesos they can stack up, that Mr. K. and Mr. C have taken note of what happened here last week. Their advice to each other might well be to "be careful and not make that young Irish-Americ-angry. His fiery tongue beats shoe pounding all hollow." A precedent has been set. And, both labor and management will think twice before they perpetu-ate another irresponsible disser-vice upon the American people. So long 'til Thursday. Water Other Problems Faced By City Council on Monday Appearing before the Pleas-ant Grove City Council last Mon-day night, Harold Smith, city utilities supervisor said, "we will have an ample water supply this summer; but the problem is how to get it to the people who need it." He said that many of the existing culinary water line3 were too small. He recommend-ed that all public water users, churches, schools and parks be required to follow a sprinkling schedule, preferably during the early morning hours. The council accepted the ad-vice and instructed Mr. Smith to prepare such a schedule as soon as possible. Willis Larsen, representing the American Legion, requested that th- - Legion players be allowed to use the Central Utah oaseball suits, in exchange for the Legion suits, which were too small for this year's Legion players. The Council agreed, providing that the. Legion suits be used by this year's "Colts" players. Permission was granted Harold, Jacklin 1 to bring concessions to Pleasant Grove on Strawberry Days. Mr. Jacklin, representing the newly formed Strawberry Day3, Inc., reported that every-thing pointed to a most success ful celebration this year. The newly organized Roughout Riding Club were granted per-mission to use the rodeo grounds for training purposes, provided a schedule was drawn up with the Pleasant Grove Riding Club and Strawberry Days Inc. A motion regulating vacations for city employees was passed as follows: after one year's service, one week vacation and two weeks after five years, service. Council-man Jesse Thome was appointed to work cut a vacation schedule. An open house at the new city council chambers will be held the same day as the Fireman's Aux-iliary Breakfast, the morning of May 19. Councilman Gerald Klemm was authorized to solicit ' the cooperation of the business houses in "making a day of it." The council voted to send "shut off notices" to water users who have two or more unpaid water bills. The local Jaycee Club, through their president, Harold Jacklin, reported plans for two new "Wel-come to Pleasant Grove" signs at the south and west entrances to the city. The signs are to be installed and maintained by the club and business houses, Mr. Jacklin said. Permission was granted. Jaycees Sponsor Sign Advertising PI. Grove Entrance The local Jaycees announce the sponsorship of large "Welcome to Pleasant Grove" signs to be plac-ed on the various highway ap-proaches to the city.
