IttilCiUUttt CL mt k k I I (EifrisAmm (greetings s s At this Holiday Season we feel deeply s grateful for the consideration ft w s have so kindly extended s you to us in the past year and take this opportunity to a ft ft wish you a very Prosperous ft s and Happy New Year. ft I THE BEAVER PRESS s ft ft SOUTHERN UTAH CLUB One of our exchanges says: "Civic groups, including associations of business men, suffered terribly during the past few years particularly in the smaller cities and towns of the United States. Public support for these organizations dwindled as conditions became worse and many of them were practically put out of business by the depression. During the lowest period of business activity and reduced incomes one could hardly locate the enthusi-- , astic and liberal supporters of these agents of the public good. Apparently, they were just two weeks before Now that may be the case in some localities, but not so in Southern Utah. At no time in recent, years has civic club activities been as active as in these years of depression and especially so has been the work of the Associated Civic Clubs of Southern Utah. That organization has prospered and grown far yond the fondest hopes of its organizers. be- Starting in 1930 with a small group of determined men in Richfield, with representatives from eight counties and with but little or no prestage, it has grown and ex- panded until it takes in 14 counties, with others clamoring for admittance and with an influence second to ' none in the state. Representatives from Arizona, Nevada, Colorado and California, recognize its usefulness and influence and send representatives to its meetings. State and National officials attend and listen to its requests and advise. The last, to wake up to its good wrok has been the Salt Lake Powers and its Chamber of Commerce. The Tribune of last Sunday devoted an entire page to its history and the good it is doing written by one of their best writers. If you have not read the article, you better try and find it and read it. 0O0 Do You Know That about every 14 seconds. A baby is born in America DON'T GET FRIGHTENED The terrible fire in Lansing, Michigan, when a fire destroyed a hotel causing the death of a score or more people, and the architectural construction of that fire trap causes us to wonder as to the safety of our children, particularly those attending the Belknap school. The Belknap building, like the Lansing hotel, brick outside walls and wood interior, could easily become a raging furnace before one half the pupils could gain safety. How many of you remember the Collingwood school fire where dozens of children perished because they had been no fire drills and because one of the outside doors was locked and a child fell at the other door and those behind fell over, causing a jam. How many remember the fire in a little one room schoolhouse where twenty or thirty little ones perished while attending an evenings Christmas entertainment, because the Christmas tree caught fire and the doors could open only a little to let the audience escape. These are horrible things to think about but it is better to think about them now and try to prevent sucn norrors man to tninK aoout them when it is to late. When did our schools have the last fire drill ? Are the doors, all doors readily opened or must someone hunt up the janitor and get the key? Think before it is too late. X and there did not to b any material menus of attaining the necessary funds for the great celebration. "Oh dear, If John would only sell that old heirloom," thought Marty Armstrong. Just then Betty and Jerry came charging In from high school. "Oh, Mother, I Just can't wait until Christmas. I know you are going to get that tuxedo for me. I can see it now, oh boy!" exclaimed Jerry. "And I can see that party gown, Mother, with slippers to match," said Betty, sweetly. "It's no use expecting anything this year, children," said mother. "Your father has made some unwise Investments." "Here comes father, now!" "Hello, everybody, what's upT Why the frigid atmosphere?" queried father. "Mother says there's to be no Santa Claus this year," ventured Jerry. The next few days John Armstrong was trying to figure it all out Perhaps he had been a little negligent in the past few years concerning his family. Now he realized that he must make amends. Christmas bells were chiming, reminding the Armstrong fam-- ! Ily that 'twas truly, Christmas eve. Moth- -' er and the children; were thinking of the things they were not going to gei for Christmas. But Father was chuckling inwardly. In fact he could scarcely keep from bursting out laughing; but that, of course, would never do. Th silence was broken by the JinThey hurried en gling of sleigh-bellmasse to see what It was all about. Were they all dreamiagj There stood bobsled. Out stepped an Santa Claus. "Why, Uncle Joe, what are you doing here on Christmas eve?" exclaimed Mother, all excited. "I've coma to take you and the family for a ride. So bundle up and hop in, without delay." All stared at one another and tried to speak, but not a word was uttered. They simply obeyed their Santa Claus and within a few moments Father and all were seated cozily within the fairyland contraption and were driven off. The sleigh stopped with a Jerk, right in front of a stucco bungalow all brilliantly lighted up with Christmas decorations. "Why, I never knew the Thompson home was for rent It has stood vacant so long," said Mother, with great concern. "A friend of mine from the office Just purchased it," said Father, with a convincing smile. "We were invited over to see it In Its new regalia. But you were all so out of sorts that I called up Uncle Joe and ordered the Santa Claus ruse." They all laughed most heartily. They i neip u unnsimas or no Christmas I They had to give father credit for Ma clever Ingenuity. Out they hopped, beaming with the Christmas spirit Father took the lead and rang the doorbell, but no one answered. Then he actually turned the knob as they all stepped back in protestation. "Merry Christmas!" shouted Father. Too surprised to speak, they looked at one another and back again at father and then "Don't you understand? Oh, hang It ail, anyway This Is your Christmas present," said father, sinking Into the closest easy chair and gasping for breath. "Whatr they all exclaimed. Then father explained it all to them how he had sold the old heirloom, purchased the home and furnished it They marveled I "How could you? When did you? How did you know Just what we liked?"

She skated about pretending not to notice, but when he started off toward the far end of the lagoon she glided over to where he had cut the figures.

"Here It Is! I knew It! This Is the one!" Crushed In the hand of Jean was a small red, himrt with the words, "To Jean, from Salina." 'Twas an exact duplicate of the letters In the snow. Now he knew I Dear old Salina! If McConnell lg shoutPd Jean. "What on earth do you want with valentines on Christmas; Jean?" "They are decorating the wails of my room and have been, for some time, my dear brother!" taunted Clara-Bell- . The next moment Jean was tearing Father had done long-desire- their-an- n dared hope that they might by any chance stand for "Salina." The snow was becoming heavier and more cumber some and she noticed that most of the skaters had already left for home and celebrations. All the way homeward she was thinking about Jean El " lory and stopping at Intervals to trace his name in the snow. She must have written it a dozen times or more. The gifts she had been expecting for Christmas suddenly appeared insignificant and useless In comparison to the one vital gift the love of Jean. Only with a mighty struggle was Salina endeavoring to join in the Christmas celebrations, lor her heart was nearly breaking. "What Is the matter, Salina?" questioned mother, as Salina almost choked with the lump in her throat. "Nothing, Mother dear, only the Christmas spirit," answered Salina, bravely. At this very moment Jean was hurrying home whistling merrily, his skates swinging over his shoulders. Suddenly he stopped short at seeing his own name displayed all over the snow, here, there and everywhere. "What on earth could that mean?" It was beautifully lettered and in a girl's handwriting ! Jean, stooping, carefully noted the letters in their every detail. He was determined to learn who the girl could be, who had so thought of him on Christmas eve that she had scrolled his name all over the snow. Jean, quickening his pace, reached home, luckily before the celebrations had begun and skipped up the staircase two steps at a time to his own room. Most excitedly he dug through his belongings in search of a box of old valentines from school days. It was missing! Where could it be? "Mother, have you seen my valen-tlues?- at father at a perfect Job. But that wasn't all. He led them proudly into the living room where stood the real host of the evening the gorgeous Christmas tree. Needless to say Jerry received his "tux," Betty her gown and slippers and mother a set of silverware, a luxury. Then descended such a shower of Christmas hugs and kisses, gratitude and Joy that dear old father was practically snowed under. But he enjoyed his Christmas presents better than all the material gifts he had bestowed upon his family; and he felt that Ms heart was filled with enough Christmas cheer to last forever. d II 1 II II II II II II II II 11 Beaver Gym Tickets er 10c-1- 5c 35 LAST YEAR JORDAN PLACED SECOND IN THE STATE FINALS.
