SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, Oct.
15.-The tert OF the address OF
Gou. Stevenson as deliUered last
night at the Mormon Taber-
1lGcle:
I cannot speak tonight in this
tabernacle without an aware
ness of the links between it's
history and that of the State
from which I come.
Many of us who reside in
Illinois have tasted the whole
some tonic of humility in con-
temptation of the mistakes to
which our history bears wit
ness at Nauvoo - the beauti-
full place - on the Mississippi
River where your forefathers
stopped on their long journey
and built another temple.
It was LOG years ago now
that there were those burn
ings," the persecution. the mob
violence and the murders which
finally drove the men and wom-
en- of the Mormon faith on
westward.
Now today this tabernacle.
rising above this city and these
fertile lands where men said
nothing could ever grow. stands
as a living monument to the
inevitable triumph of faith.
And when the caravans of
those who today seek public
office in this Nation stop here
with you, to meet with you in
this. your tabernacle. they stop
their clamor and haranguing.
They seek the response OF your
hearts and your minds rather
than that of your hands or your
voices.
I wish that all of our political
campaigning could be conducted
in the spirit which this meeting
place inspires. 1t is a spirit OF
faith, a faith that triumphs
over any obstacle.
And tonight I want to talk
in this temple to the great con-
fident majority of Americans
the generous and the unfright-
ened, those who are proud OF
our strength and sure of our
goodness and who want to work
with each other in trust. to ad-
vance the honor of our coun-
try.
Needless to say this includes
many millions of Republicans.
If all virtue were one party the
Nation would be in sad way.
But this confident majority, I
am sorry to say. does not in

dawn of our revolution they saw
America as the Old Worlds
saviour-not merely in terms of
power. but in terms of goodness.
They knew that Providence
had given us this empty, unex-
plotted continent for a purpose.
And they knew that it must be a
purpose which includes all men
for the same God made us all.
In 1887 George Washington
said: 1.-THE preservation of the
sacred fire of liberty, and the
destiny of the republican form
Of government, are justly con-
sidered as deeply, perhaps as
finally staked, on the expert

Travellers people without q
purpose and without a mind.
But at all times they picture
us unworthily. They make us
look scared, stupid. and heart
less. They thus betray the con-
quering, hopeful, practical yet
deeply moral America which you
and / know.
We all know it is nonsense,
that in fact the reverse is true.
To the dismay Of the enemies
Of America, we proved after
1945 that we have learned in
the last 20 years not only to
produce majestically, but to
distribute among all our people
an increasingly fair share of
that production. We have
evolved a stronger and a better
form of economy. which makes
nonsense of the Russian text
books.
The friends of freedom every
where have rejoiced. They have
noted our rising and wide
spread wealth and well being.
They have noted that we had no
depression and no unemploy-
ment at the end Of the warm
spite OF headlong demobiliza-
ton and disarmament. And re-
member that all this happened
before the Marshall Plan, be-
fore the REVIVAL of our armed
might, before Korea. Every
liberty-loving European gave
thanks that we had showed our
selves not only strong but stable.
Must this inspiring record
now be ridiculed for campaign
purposes? Must our credit for
using our capitalist system wise
ly and humanely be undermined
in Europe-and by Gen. Eisen-
hover of all men? Must our
proud All-American achieve
ment be pictured as a Demo-
cratic Party plot?
During the war, you remem-
ber. when we all knew America
was in danger, we only
wanted the best, the most
unselfish. We had no time
for building political man.

for which the Russians invented

us.
They hoped we would feel
frustrated. shackled by circum-
stance. They hoped we would
fall to quarreling among our
selves and thus betray our mis-
sion.
But the American giant will
not be shackled! We shall not

Korean War Vet Flying Program May
Spur Activities At Bluffton Airport

Korean war veterans who want to
learn how to fly will get rs per cent
of their flight training costs paid by
the government, if they enroll for
approved courses such as offered at
the Bluffton airport.
Provision for the postwar flight
training is in a new CT bill signed
by the President in mid-July, it was
announced this week. With the gov
eminent paying rs per cent of the
cost, the remainder will have to come
out of the veterans own pocket.
The new CT bill, Public Law $50,
applies to veterans who served since
the outbreak of fighting in Korea in
June, 1850. Their service, however,
need not necessarily have been in
Korea .
Under the bill, five benefits are of
fered to veterans: Education and
training and CT loans, both admins
tered by the Veterans Administra-
ton; and unemployment compensa-
ton, mustering-out pay and job-fnd-
ing assistance, handled by other
agencies.
Monthly payments by the VA will
be made directly to veteran trainees,
and not to any school. Out of the
allowance, veterans must meet all
their own expenses, including tut
ton.
VA allowances for flight trainees
will also go to the veterans, but they
must turn the money over to the
fight school, along with funds of
their own to cover the cost of train
ing.
In the case of veterans taking
fight training along with some other
course under the CT bill, they will
receive both the flight allowance
plus whatever other allowance is
needed for the other course.
Normally, under the law, post
Korean war veterans will at one
and one-half days of CT training for
each day of service after Korea, up
to a maximum for most veterans of
Sc months. Flight trainees, how
ever, will use up their entitlement at
the rate of one day for each SIPS
paid to them by the VA.
Provisions of the new bill should
not be confused with the CT bill for
World War II veterans, it was en-
phasized.
Under the World War II law, the
VA would pay all training costs di-
rectly to the school, and in addition
pay a veteran an allowance for
subsistence if he were entitled to it.

Windy Solution To
Upset Coop Problem

An "ill wind" caused plenty of
trouble for the Jorg hatchery last
Friday, but prevented pranksters
from getting unwarranted blame for
two peculiar mishaps.
Earl Jorg, hatchery proprietor, re-
ported to Sherif's Deputy Cliff Lamp
that he believed prankish boys had
overturned a Is by 24-foot chicken
coop housing about 500 chicks on
the grounds of his hatchery opera
tions.
While the two were debating the
cause of the destruction at the
scene, a gust of wind came along
and bowled over another coop. This
demonstration vas enough to con-
vince the men that Mother Nature
was responsible for the damage, and
cleared the suspicion of vandalism.
