Drive To Secure Painting Being Made The Senior class is sponsoring a drive to secure the painting, "The Old Fort Wall," by J. T. Harwood. This painting commemorates early Lehi, and should belong to Lehi. It depicts a section of the old fort wall, which hag long since b;n torn down, showing the structure . and form of the wall. It suggests the early arrival of the Denver & Rio Grande train in Lehi, showing a work train which had come just that far. It shows the easy informality in-formality of the early settlement. J. T. Harwood was a Lehi boy. He was born here and spent the . early part of his life here. He attended at-tended the local schools. He was 1 always interested in painting, and j it must be confessed that he some- times neglected the "three R's" so (that he could spend more time I painting. When he was 18, he went to the Brigham Young Academy, i and then later he went to San Francisco Fran-cisco to study art. The professors at the art school recognized his talent and ability and encouraged him verv much. He returned to Salt Lake City, established a studio, and taught art. A few years later he went to Paris to study, and was the first American to have a painting paint-ing hung at St. Julian, famous art salon, in Paris. He returned to Salt Lake City and taught art at the East high school. After another an-other trip to Paris he taught at the University of Utah. In 1935 he again went to Paris. Because of the war, it was necessary for him to come home. The seniors feel that Mr. Harwood Har-wood should be honored by us, and that his painting of Lehi should re- jmain here. It will mean more to the people of Lehi than to anyone else.

Precipitation on the five stations of the Provo river watershed Boy Scouts Continue Active Program To mark its 31st birthday, the Boy Scouts of America is continuing continu-ing an active program to prepare the youth of this country to take its place in dealing with world conditions. con-ditions. Scouting officials have drawn up an extensive emergency service program pro-gram designed to make the boys of the United States of more value in times of crisis. Dr. James E. West, Chief Scout Executive, in announcing the plan said: "It Is the responsibility of everyone identified ident-ified with Scouting In normal times, and certainly in a period of national nation-al emergency, to be alert and vigilant vigi-lant to meet every opportunity for service, not only because of the obligation ob-ligation but because of the special training which the program of Scouting gives to boys in patrols and troops and through the development de-velopment of qualities of leadership leader-ship on the part of older boys and Scouters." Giving, new significance to the Boy Scout Motto: "Be Prepared!" the Scout movement has begun intensive in-tensive training for the boys in its membership in all things which will make them more reliant and capable capa-ble in emergency situations. Scouts are being trained In observation, identification and memory through a thorough knowledge of their home communities. The boys are being trained in swimming, horsemanship, boating, proper methods (of running messages, mes-sages, as well as how to travel under un-der adverse conditions. Stressing the necessity of clean living, the program emphasizes outdoor life, giving the Scouts training in camp-! ing with and without shelter, the preparation of food, and knowledge of woodcraft lore. Calling to mind the long list of Scout heroes who have received medals for saving life, local Scoutmasters Scout-masters are teaching . their boys safety methods for dealing with firearms, cutting tools,, and fire, as well as instruction in methods of water rescues and first aid for the seriously injured. Rural Scouts are playing an important im-portant part in this emergency service ser-vice program through raising gar den truck for food, studying the importance of food and its conservation, conser-vation, raising birds and animals for food, as well as fish hatcheries. Although in no way advocating military training for the 47,000 Scout units throughout the country, the Scout movement has recognized the necessity of preparing the youth of the United States for efficient and valuable service to the country in time of emergency. Scout service ser-vice in times of recent crisis, such as the hurricane disasters of New England and Florida, has shown the value of the Boy Scout training in first aid, signaling, pathfinding, safety and use of knife and axe. The Boy Scouts of America in organizing this emergency service I ogram has joined with 16 other organizations of the Citizenship Educational Service in Issuing this statement: "While recognizing the urgent necessity for military preparedness, pre-paredness, we are deeply convinced that the paramount need in national nation-al defense is the strengthening and i..vigoration of democracy in the United States. This we propose to do through our respective programs of activity and education." amounting to an average of 653 inches is 92 per cent of normal as compared to an average of 5.22 inches or 73 per cent for the preceding pre-ceding year for the period of October Oc-tober 1 to January 31, the report Lake City has the best average, aver-age, precipitation being 7 40 Inches or 134 per cent of normal; Snake creek is second with 925 inches and 98 per cent; Provo is next with 5.49 inches and 94 per cent; Heber City is fourth with 4.84 Inches and 76 per cent, and Park City, last with 555 inches and 68 per cent.
