Land Use Planning! It is be-
ing 'sold' to us as "necessary
to save our farm land, and to
protect our private property
rights"; it is presented as not
ordy necessary, but inevitable,
so w~ should plan locally, en-
abling us to "keep local control."
In other words, we should give
up our individual control for
control by a local Land Use Plan-
ning Co~ni~ee!
Some people in Wyoming hon-
estly think we should do this as
~ea as possib~ to protect us
from National Planning. That
is a fool's dream. Land Use
Ptmming is already National,
end it is being promoted simul-
taneously, right now, in all 50
states. This is not accidental;
it is phnned.
Nelson Rockefeller resigned
fixm~ the very powerful position
of New York State Governor to
head the NATIONAL COMMIT-
TEE on CRITICAL CHOICES.
His commitee is to arrive at "a
clearer sense of national pur-
pose." Sounds noble? But wait
a minute; a "national purpose"
requires a cenlralized govern-
mont. National planning is a
c~iectivist concept, quite op-
posite of our constitutional, rep-
~entative Government idea,
which was established to protect
us as we pursue our own pur-
~se~ef! But more about the
ellers:
Brother Laurence heads the
Citizens Advisory Committee on
Environmental Quality which has
a task force dealing with--you
~d it-- Land Use Planning.
The findings of the task force
mm summarized by Wolf Von
Eckardt of the "Washington
Post": "We need more compre-
hensive planning and more ef-
fective controls to make plans
stick. The foremost need, how-
ever, is a change in our national
attitude toward private property
rights. (Read that line again!)
That is a matter of legal doc-
trine which calls for new inter-
pretations by the courts in light
of our urgent social and environ-
merLtal needs."
In other words, one of the na-
tional pu~ is to CHANGE
THIS LAND FROM ONE OF
PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER-
SHIP AND CDN'I~OL TO ONE
OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL
OF PROPERTY (SOCIALISM).
The planners know we will never
accept direct national control,
so we are to be enticed, coaxed,
bribed, threatened and enveigled
into doing it ourselves under the
guise of "retaining local controL"
A clever scheme, isn't it?
Mrs. Joe Svoboda
Alva, Wyo.
We have a caste system in the
United States. It's not based on
race, color, creed, sex, wealth,
or income. It's quite broad and
vet very narrow. It has been
imposed on us by a stupid con-
gress. It will eventually bring
about the down fall of our coun-
try. We are all equal at birth,
but become at maturity either
high caste or low caste. It's
amazing that so many of us
choose to be low caste. I guess
we are just a glutton for punish-
ment.
If you are an employer you
are a devil. If you are an em-
p/oyee, you are a saint. The
congress and the courts are two
faced. They claim that they
don't believe in discrimination,
but gaey do. For example, .an
employer must not form a umon
cr conspire to control his in-
come, but the employees can.
The employer being rich and a
devil must pay for any mishap
that happens to his help. While
if he gets hurt it is just a good
laugh. If the employee runs
ymw tractor over a cut bank and
wrecks it, it's your hard luck.
But if he gets hurt it is your
neck. The employer mtrst pay
half of the helps social security,
also all of his own. Under the
OSHA law, the employer is en-
tirely to blame. If an employee
commits suicide by sticking his
head in a lmz saw the employer
is punished for not having a
guard around the saw. The em-
ployee has no responsibility. He
is the inn~ent victim of what
ever happens. The employer is
always the devil. The latest
rock around the employer's neck
is that he has to pay 75% of the
help's health insurance. Why
don't the help pay the employer's
for a change?
The minimum wage of two
dollars an hour will throw thou-
sands of people out of work. I'd
like to get two dollars an hour.
But then I'm self employed.
Many people cannot produce
products worth two dollars an
hour, so will have to go on wel-
fare. It is impossible to hire
anyone under nineteen. We
wuuld all love to, but we become
suspect if we do. We are crimi-
nals before the act. The law as-
sumes that you will cheat, brow
beat, over work, starve, under
pay, and other wise pollute the
minor. Hog wash! You are
preconvicted.
I went out to work when I was
seven years old. There were no
law restrictions between employ-
er and employee. I worked
plen.ty, but I didn't make a dime
for anyone. And I didnt get
skinned up much either, but I
learned how to be independent,
which is worth far more than all
the laws of a decent congress.
I graduated up to five dollars a
month, and then to thirty dollars
a month and my beard. I was
rich, was loaning out money.
But the knowledge I attained is
what sustains me today. Und~
our laws of today I would be
rothing more than a half-wit.
Om" congress assumes that you
and I are much below them in
intelligence. In fact, it doesn't
know how you and I survive.
Still it knows that we are an
everlasting source of money.
There is no lack of work, only
vicious laws, which are an insult
to the employee. He is assumed
to be a helpless simpering idiot,
unable to cope with his wicked
employer.

GROWING
, YOUR OWN
By Linda Linn
U. W. Extension Writer
April 9, 197¢--I've been visiting
this past week, looking at neigh-
bors' vegetable plants in indoor
flats and the plants are nearly
ready for transplanting into cold
frames. Everyone's got the
itch to set out their plants now
in the early April warm wea-
ther.
rm waiting. In several weeks
low altitude Wyoming residents
may transplant into cold frames
--but not now. The sneaky nice
weather is so interlaced with
hard frosting nights that only
a fool gives in to the urge-to
set out the plants.
But we can get the cold frames
built now, keep snow off the in-
tended frame sites, and begin
preparing the enclosed soil. My
husband, Gone, builds our frames
each year with whatever scrap
lumber he has.
Essentially the cold frame is
a huge wooden rectangle set on
the ground and covered with a
removable sheet plastic lid. Gene
makes our frames ten feet long,
two to four feet high, and four
feet wide. He stakes two by
two-inch markers the height the
frame is to be, at the corners of
the intended site, then nails lum-
ber to the markers to create a
rectangle.
The entire rectangle is then
hammered securely into the
ground to insure that air cannot
seep into it from the bottom. A
lid is created by forming a light
weight recetangular top to fit
the boxed frame and criss-cros-
sing it with lath, leaving as much
window space as possible. Heavv
duty clear plastic is then stretc!a-
ed over the frame - lid and tack-
ed down securely. Presto. A cold
frame.
When hard-frosting nights and
days have ceased, indoor plants
sets may be transplanted into the
frames. The lids are removed
during the warm hours of the
day and replaced before the air
turns cool later in the day. The
tight frames conserve heat
throughout the nights, protect
plants from light frosts, yet give
the plants themselves the ad-
vantage of being planted earlier
in regular soil than would be pos-
sible otherwise.
The cold-frames also protect
tall and delicate plants like to-
matoes from wind damage in
areas like Laramie where heavy
gusts can destroy garden stalks
in an afternoon of 80 mph winds.
Gene and I have used cold-
frames to grow tomatoes, pep-
pers, eggplant and kohlrabi.
Within our vegetable selection,
these were the plants that need-
ed the additional hours of heat
and the additional protection
from the elements. The hardier
cole crops like cabbages, broccoli
and cauliflower were transplant-
ed directly outdoors after the
last severe frosts and were able
to stand some temperatures as
low as 20 to 30 degrees F.
Seed packets and seed cata-
logs usually identify plants that
arent hard and that will need
extra protection, like a cold-
frame.
Soil within cold4rmnes should
be dug and turned approximately
one foot deep until it is loose, has
all dirt clods broken, and can eas-
ily be worked and dug with your
hands. Any fertilizing and nec-
essary spraying for identified in-
sect problems should be done at
this time too. Insecticides and
fertilizers should be worked into
the soil after tilling and prior to
transplantting.

When the time is right for
transplanting into cold-frames,
UW Plant Horticulturist Charles
McAnelly says, plants should be
lifted from their flat, allowing
the peat pot to remain around
the plant root. The peat pot
should then be broken from the
bottom and the plant placed in
a hole deep enough to cover the
roots plus a good portion of the
plant stalk. The plant leaves and
several inches of the stalk should
remain above the soil line. Loose
soil should then be filled into the
hole and be packed tightly up
around the plant stalk.
After the cold frame is planted,
allowing approximately two feet
circumfferences around each
plant, it should be watered until
the soil is moist but not sopping
wet. Thereafter, the frame lid
must be propped open or remov-
ed during sunny, warm hours of
the day to ventilate the frame
and keep the plants from being
baked. When the frame lid is
open, the frame soaks up heat.
When
the lid is closed, the retain-
ed heat protects plants from cold-
er weather outside~
Subsequent watering should
take place regularly wheneve~
the soil is dry.
With cold frame use in past
years, Gene and I have eatea
ripe tomatoes at Jackson Hole al-
titudes and temperatures in mid-
August. The peppers and egg"
plant within cold farmes
edible by late August and their
parent plants were proteci~t
~rom killing frosts until the first
week in September. Low altitude
areas in Wyoming could easily
use cold-frames to grow short
season melons, and the statt~
that goes with eating a he,he-
grown melon in Wyoming is with-
out equal.
In olden days girls wore dres-
ses long enough to cover their ha-
steps. Newadays, their dresses
barely cover their step-ins.
It's nice to be important, but
it's more important to he nice.
