Transcontinental Railroad Speeded by
Civil War, Speaker Says on Observance
Promontory, Utah (U.R) A
Utah historian said yesterday
that completion of America's
first transcontinental railroad
86 years ago would have been
delayed had not the Southern
states seceded from the Union
and started the Civil War.
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.

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.
