about ourselves is more powerful
than any man-made missile" he
declared. 1T would be good for
the world if Nihta Khrushchev
could read and understand it,"
Conlan said the clock OF bureau
cracy can not be turned back, but
declared that the growth offederal
government must be stopped.
Action must be based onthe current
situation, he said, rather than tc
attempt a throw back of several
decades.
He thought people could be more
influential by working with other
persons than by trying to accom-
plish goals alone individuals who
try to do things all by themselves
may become martyrs but generally
cannot achieve as much as people
who cooperate with others toward
common goals.
Conlan strongly urged that
people work for the party of their
choice, and TO work for candi dates
with whom they agree.
He said this means active work,
not just voting. it includes knocking
on doors, handing out information,
and erecting signs.
Kay charged that the freeAmer-
lean press should stir people to
participate as respectable and ded-
icated citizens. And people should
read the editorial pages and should
write letters to editors, he said.
Conlan also talked about
working with the press when he
outlined methods by which in
dividuals can help mold public
opinion
Editorial policies of public
atoms can be influenced, according
to Conlan He told the audience to
compliment publications when they
write editorials that reflect
positions that are in agreement
with yours.
He also urged people to write
more to persons holding high gov
ernment posts, and pointed out
there is a special reduced rate for

to build homes, the ruins of which
may be seen in the Park. The area
is part of the Painted Desert,
a region of banded rocks of many
hues, carved by the wind and rain
into landscape of fantastic color
and form. Here and there are beds
of shale containing perfectly pre-
served fossil leaves of plants of
a remote era. Occ asionally, the
bones of great amphibians and
reptiles are washed from their
burial places in soft rock.
National Park status for the
Petrified Forest National Monu-
ment has long been a cherished
dream of many Arizonans and
others throughout the United
States.

Many of the older hogans have no

of the people When the hogan door
is closed. light must come through
a hole in the roof. through which
the stovepipe protrudes. Small
caSt-iron stoves are common, but
one also sees stoves made of empty
oil drums set up on bricks.
There is little furniture. Some
times, cot beds are used. but in
many hogans the people sleep on
sneepskins on the dirt floor. This
bedding is neatly rolled up and
placed against the wall during the
day. Clothing is hung against the
wall or kept in a suitcase. Some

Petritied Forest
Established As
National Park

Secretary of the Interior
Stewart L. Udall today signed an
order redesignating Petrified For
est National Monument, Arizona,
as a National Park. The redesig-
nation will be effective 80 days
after public alton in the Federal
Register.
National Park status for the
National Monument was authorized
by Legislation enacted by Congress
in 1858 Public Law 85-358). This
legislation, which was sponsored
by Secretary Udall, who was then
an Arizona Congressman, and by
Arizona's Senator Carl Hayden,
authorized establishment of the
National Park by Secretarial order
as soon as the non - F eder a.

The common market may force
America to turn back toward free
enterprise, just as Europe moves
toward the integrated free market
economy eth at we have been
moving away from" declared John
]. Kennedy at the Forum for Free
Enterprise.
Kennedy. faculty associate in
Arizona State University's College
of Business Administratio was
one Of the featured speakers at
the Forum which was sponsored
10y Arizona Farm Bureau F Feder-
alton.
Kennedy attacked the present
adminiStrat alton for dict tating prices
in industry, for forcing workers
TO Join a union, and for generally
harassing and int erfering in
business.
He said the US. has continually
moved away from free enterprise
since the depression years of the
1905.
But free enterprise, declared
Kennedy. has provided "the highest
standard of living, combined with
the greatest amount Of individual
liberty. that the world has ever
known.
DR.. Kay explained that the
Constitution and the Declaration of
Independence have enabled the U.S..
to become the leading nation inthe
world. They were designed to
serve the people,, he said.
According to Kennedy, self
interest is the driving force of
man, but competition directs this
driving force to serve a human
itarian purpose. Competitions is the
key to free enterprise, he said.
He recalled that man has lived
by permission of government
through most of his time on earth,
and only a few times in history
has man controlled and limited the
government.
Under Americas form of gov
ernment and economic system, its
people have achieved SO per cent
of the worlds wealth, so per cent
of the worlds students in school,
and rs per cent of the worlds
automobiles. Kay pointed out to

These steps should be implement

Mr.. PraSse also recommended
in the report that the policy of

In commenting on the report,
Mr.. Savage stated that "if the firm
steps taken to remove racism from

Mr.. Savage added that another

Here are some timely vegeta-

beans, corn, okra, lima beans,
cucumbers. squash, pumpkins,
and melons. Make succession
paintings Of radishes, beets and
carrots. Now Is the time to
transplant eggplant. peppers,
sweet potato and tomato plants
to the garden. When trans
planting keep as much soil on
the roots as possible.
People who smoke should wash
their hands with soap before
handling tomato plants. The
soap destroys viruses which can
be transferred from tobacco to
tomatoes.
Mulching Pays Off
inexpensive mulch materials
include leaves, pine needles,
grass clippings, peanut hulls,
ground corn cobs, sawdust, and
wood chips.
When using loose organic
materials such as straw, leaves
and sawduSt, use only tn e
amount of loose mulch needed
to control weeds.
Too much water holding
mulch may be detrimental.
Woody mulching materials
break down slowly, so extra nj
trogen is needed in early stages
Of decomposition.
Broadcast the loose mulch
ing material as evenly as pos
sible using three to five bushels
per 100 square feet. Then
scatter the fertilizer, one-half
