Dr. Leland H. Creer, head of the University of Utah History Department, was the featured speaker at the annual reenact ment of the "golden spike" cere mony. It was 12:47 p.m.. May 10, 1869, that a golden spike was driven at Promontory, north of Great Salt Lake, to join the rails of the Union and Central Pacific railroads into a transcontinental pan. Greer sketched the growing movement of a century ago of Americans who moved in increas ing numbers from the Atlantic seaboard into the West. ' He said "there had been a "strong feeling" for years that the nation should have a trans continental railroad, but efforts to provide ..' federal aid were blocked by Southern states con trolling the Senate. The secession and Civil War ended these delaying tactics, the historian said, and the Union Pa cific railroad bill was passed, giving ; the rail companies 25, 000,000 acres of land for their construction efforts. Creer described as "nonsense" allegation by other historians that the Latter - day Saints Church had opposed building of the railroads "to enchance their isolation." Instead, he insisted, the Mormons welcomed the railr Higher Postal Rates Predicted by Aide Portland (U.R) L. Rohe Walter, special assistant to the postmaster, general, predicted here last night that postal rates would go up and that a proposed pay hike for postal employees would be vetoed by the presi dent. "Walter said the annual post office deficit has been cut from $721,000,000 in 1952 to $399, 000,000 last year and is expected to go below $350,000,000 in 1955. He explained the sayings came from charging free mail to the government agencies that put it out and the fact that the depart ment no longer subsidizes mail carrying airlines. - . He said . he though Postmas ter General Arthur Summerfield would recommend that presi dent Eisenhower veto pay in creases for postal workers. Washington (U.R) Sen. Henry M. Jackson says Presi dent Eisenhower's proposed atomic merchant ship "may back fire on us" as a "bragging atom ic museum piece." roads. He read extracts from his torical documents to prove his point.' Liquor By Drink Now Two Years Old Portland (U.R) Liquor by the drink in Oregon celebrates its second anniversary today. ' The Oregon Liquor Control commission reports that most Oregon residents accepted liquor by. the drink quite calmly, al though it was absent for more than 37 years. The OLCC said about 800 li censes to dispense cocktails have been issued in the two year period. None has been re scinded for a violation. Food requirements, regular inspections and stringent adver tising regulations have helped to prevent abuses of the privil ege. Contrary to predictions by op ponents to the step, liquor1 by the drink has not touched off an increase in alcoholism, nor has it increased the crime rate, according to the OLCC. Liquor consumption "figures compiled by the commission show that the most popular bev erage in Oregon in spite of hard liquor dispensaries, is beer. Use Mail Tribune Want Ads As We Live By ELIZABETH HU.UOCK, PH.D. Husband Sulks, Refuses To Speak Some people are easily of fended. They must be handltd with kid gloves. (Q) "My husband is always do ing things that embarrass me or tne cnuaren. For example, at cnurcn supper not long ago, he opened two buttons on my blouse, took pickles from the relish dish and laid ihem on the plate of one of the la dies across the table, got up Dr. Herleek irom ine table and talked to man en the opposite side of the table. He could have visited with him after supper. I told my fam ily aoout what he says and does and ho feels very hurt aarf of. fended. Now he won't tell mo or the children anything . and ho hardly speaks to us. If ho can offeri me. it's fine. But if I offcd him ifs terrible. Don't yov ihink ho is being childish? V at should I do? Tho way ho is acting at home makes it very nam on m children as well as on mo. (A) Of course it is hard to hv to live in the same house with a person who eoes arounrl with a chip on his shoulder. But since he seems to want to be offended, you should do what you can to bring him out of this sullen state. even if it means eating your own words, uo this for the sake of the children. It was not very tactful of you to complain to your family about yourhusband's behavior. Your husband, like many other men, likes to be the "life of the party." we wants to make other people think he is a "good fellow," and he wants to be sure that he is not overlooked. I am sure he does not embarrass you inten tionally. Why not tell him you are sorry you talked about this matter to your, family? Tell him voti now realize it was petty and mean of you to put him in an unfavorable lignt in their eves Say this with such : sincerity that he will believe you. Then ask him not to do things that will embarrass you in the future. Aside from this, I can see nothins further that you can do now, but try to be more tactful in the .fu- xure. (Copyright 1955.
