Provo The Christmas City I Provo's oft-heard title of "The Christmas City," should be well Reserved thin year, if plans of the retail merchants and other committers now at work ave carried out. A brilliant flood of Christmas lights will transform the night into day in the business district Thursday night when the network of colored lights across University avenue and Center streets will be turned on by the mayor, the signal for the beginning of the joyful Yuletide season. A typical Mardi Gras with the Christmas carnival spirit running rampant will feature the evening's celebration as in former years. Provo businessmen deserve congratulations for planning and carrying out this annual event, declared to be the outstanding out-standing Christmas celebration in the state. In order to have the Christmas atmosphere in the business busi-ness district carry over into the residential district, a drive is under way to enlist more homes in the home lighting movement. Students of the high school, soliciting under the direction of W. D. Keller, report a fine reception from the homeowners everywhere, indicating that Provo will be a brighter Christmas city this year than last, if possible. A striking Christmas decoration for the outside of the house can be fixed up at a very low cost. The children can be encouraged" to use their ingenuity and art design ability, and the material need not cost over a dollar. Prizes will be awarded to the best in the four sections of the city, and a grand prize for the outstanding design. What the World $pends The cost of war, and of preparing for war, is terrific. V But in the United States, which has not been threatened threat-ened by war and which is not making any particular preparations prepa-rations for war. government spending is far greater than in any of the nations which have been preparing for war and conducting wars the past four years. Here are comparative government expenditures of four of the world's greatest nations during the years 1984-1937: Great Britain $16,369,645,000 Franco 11.830,076,000 Italy 6,764,320,000 - Japan 3,150,106,000 United States 32,538,263,000 In other words, altho the United States is not burdened by war or fear of war. this country-has spent almost as much as the other four nations put together! These are figures worth your study. Remember, of codfee. that m breaking them-down you must consider the population of these other nations, and their varying scales of living. One thing that can be seen from the above figures, without with-out any further analysis, is this : The United States is spending more money today than any nation has ever spent before, from the time of Rome oh down. That's something to think seriously about! One Pleasing Trend Skiing and skating are two of the prettiest and most invigorating pastimes known to man. Body-invigorating and soul-invigorating. And both sports are attracting new devotees in greatly increasing numbers each winter. 'Tis well, not only for the individual but for his community, com-munity, for the nation, for the race itself. Hardly a community in the west but has access by auto or train to a good skiing mountain or its lakes for skating. We shall not worry too much about the state of the nation while such wholesome trends are being- manifested; v Two brothers g:nn 30 pounds in six months in the navy.

I Was Thinking By ELSIE a CARROLL I was thinking of the old aphorism aphor-ism that age is not so much a matter of years as an attitude of mind One thing that reminded remind-ed me of it was some bits of philosophy phil-osophy expressed by President Heber J. Grant on. his 81st birthday. birth-day. These attitudes toward life and work reveal the secret of .this modern prophet's vigor and youthfulness. He asserts that work is the most interesting thing in life, and that people who are actively engaged en-gaged in work live longer than those who spend their time resting. rest-ing. J 'Age." he says, "is a quality of mind indicating that enthusiasm has been left behind." I thought of those words again as I walked home from a student program with another "young," person who has lived past the proverbial three-score and ten years. She was as thrilled over the lively college program as was her granddaughter, less than a third her age with whom she keeps house while they both attend the university. This woman has taught school for fifty years. Thousands of young people have come under her inspiration and energizing influence. in-fluence. Now the law of the state decrees that she is too old to teach. But she knows that she is not too old to learn, to broaden her outlook on life, to share in the invigorating invigorat-ing atmosphere of campus life. I often think that a good antidote anti-dote for weariness, for lack of enthusiasm, and hope, and energy, ener-gy, is to mingle with a group of young students. Something seems to radiate from their young spirits into the very air, something we older, world-weary souls can, if we will, absorb as a sort of rejuvenating rejuv-enating elixir. At least this lady of whom I was thinking is able to do that. She attends all the assemblies, the lyceum lectures, and other extracurricular extra-curricular functions and thoroughly thorough-ly enjoys them. Besides that she takes reguar courses in the university, uni-versity, choosing young professors profes-sors because she desires to get the viewpoint of youth, and subjects sub-jects of current interest and significance. sig-nificance. In a university city there is no reason why hundreds of persons who have passed the time in years when thev can no longer continue to hold their places in the trades and professions demanded by their sons and daughters, should not pnnHnup tn live vniithfnllv in their . - - j - j minds and spirit by attending col- t 1 ? A . t I lege, ny immaing me vigor ana enthusiasm of the young men and women of a modern educational institution. Isn't it a fact, too. that their wider experiences and riper maturity would give a force to the college atmosphere as valuable val-uable as what they receive, and would act as a leaven contributing contribu-ting to a more balanced development develop-ment of modern youth? That age need not mean dullness, dull-ness, mental sterility is illustrated bv an anecdote told of Longfellow. When he was man old in years living near Harvard university where he had served long as professor pro-fessor of modern languages and literature, one of his former students stu-dents said to him one day. "Tell roe. Mr. Longfellow, how it is that you keep your intellect as keen, your thoughts as . youthful and vigorous as they ever were." Longfellow pointed through his window to two apple trees in bloom, one old and gnarled, the other young and slender. He said: "There are no perceptible differences differ-ences beteen the blossoms on those two trees. Why? Because the old tree manages to grow each year enough new bark to produce the blossoms. That's what I try to do . . . grow enough new bark each year to put out a few fresh healthy bloasorai." WELL, VOU KNOW X MAVEN'T ANV CAR, RAPlO, CANAe, POLICE 0OG .

My Candidate In 1940 BY X REPORTER I'm tailoring a suit of clothes to fit the man who will get my vote for president in 1940. Figuratively, Figur-atively, of course, I'm building a set of requirements that I think are vital to the welfare and continued progress of the United tates, and .he man who comes nearest to fitting these will get my vote, almost regardless of his political conpections. I say almost because I wouldn't vote for any man, no matter how good be looked, whose political connections and background make it possible that he would use his J great power as president to force upon the people of this nation a form of government they had not voted for. Around the world there are groups and cliques and individuals who believe that the only way to have a safe, sure government is by force. "One strong man" who will make all. others do as he says. These believe that the people we, the people, if you please are far too stupid and slow-moving to be longer entrusted entrust-ed with task of governing themselves them-selves thru their elected repre-sentativs. repre-sentativs. The mess these "strong men" have made of it in their various spheres is all the proof any democrat demo-crat or republican small d and small r need that government of the people, by the people and for the people is far and away the best, despite its slowness and its occasional corruptness. The man I'm going to vote for will be first of all an ardent believer be-liever in basic democracy and in the republican form of government. govern-ment. He will not be afraid of change, change, but rather in favor of change, even of experiment in the face of new and modern problems prob-lems that can never be solved without experiment and change. My candidate, however, must be one who will pledge himself to do any governmental experimenting experi-menting within the rules yes, maybe even the cumbersome and exasperating rules which have been built up and around and into in-to the very structure of this nation na-tion in its comparatively short The candidae I vote for will be committed to staying on a straight, sure path that may be hedged about with restrictions he sometimes doesn't like at all. I believe that this nation's highest destiny depends on a safe sure course rather than shortcuts, short-cuts, however alluring.

Next, I ran across my wedding pictures taken some eight years ago, and I find at that age, my skirts were above my knees . . . and so it goes. I also found some dust ruffles, some cambric petticoats, and some corset covers, not to mention ruffles which were pinned pin-ned across the frpnt to Improve on nature (One can buy the same thing now, in even more enticing forms, though of course no one calls them ruffles.) Now I didn't rememLor that I ever wore any such contraptions, though I do remember buying the first last and only corset I ever owned where was I? I found a package or letters rrom a boy who is burled bur-led in France. Mr. R. says why do you keep all these old letters! So I handed him one of his, and he read it and laughed fit to kill and I said, that's why I keep them . . . Wish I could go on and on, but I must stop. I'll do another one day.
