Show kWr VIEWPOINT Qy CLIFF MEMMOTT, Ediior NATIONAL KIDS' DAY AGAIN PROVES POPULAR FOR LOCAL YOUNGSTERS .... The Roosevelt Kiwanis Club last Saturday honored approximately 500 youngsters in the Roosevelt area as they joined nearly 4000 other communities in the sixth annual observance of National Kids' Day. The day's activities began be-gan at 10 a.m. with a parade that was filled with various and sundry floats, character entries, and all kinds of pets youngsters harbor in their dad's back yard. In addition to the Kiwanians who planned and supervised super-vised the day's program, much of the credit for the day's success must go to a lot of other people who cooperated nobly in the ever growing project. To make the day possible pos-sible for the kids, Kiwanis had to have some money, and a two-Saturday donut sale was planned and carried on. The fine people of Roosevelt opened their hearts and bought 520 dozen donuts on two Saturdays to insure the finances for the program, and enough additional to keep on with their youth program. As its president, and on behalf of the officers and committee members, we express a generous "Thank you" to those who bought donuts; supplied some of the treats for the kids; acted as judges and in organizing the parade; the management of the Uinta Theatre for the free show-he show-he gave the youngsters on their day; and any others who helped in any other way to make the day a success. . v E v GENERAL ELECTION IS ONLY A MONTH AWAY YOU HAVE A PATRIOTIC RESPONSIBILITY In exactly thirty-three days Mr. and Mrs. American Citizens, the voters of this county, state and nation, will go to the polls to choose county, legislative and congres- ' sional representatives to guide our political destinies through the years ahead.

We should hear what they have to say, then make up our minds which man, regardless of party, is best fitted for the job, then get out and support him on election day. Two other tremendously important issues are on the ballots this fall The Reapportionment of our state legislators, leg-islators, and the Junior College question. We should study the issues, then stop and ponder just which' turn of the events will affect me, a small town resident. I'm sure when this is done, we will be pretty much united on one of the two questions and will vote in favor of the Reapportionment Reapportion-ment amendment. I have made up my mind on the other issue, but will wait awhile to express myself in this column.
