Joyful 4 V I'nless what we do is useful, our glory is in vain. Phaedrus. Tf principle is good for anything, it is worth living in to Franklin it s are age that forms the man, not man that forms the age. -Macaulay. HABIT Habit is a cable. We weave a thread of it eacr i untii it becomes so strong we cannot break it. m Franklin. Habit, the ordinary course of conduct. Webster. Then we say, "Good habits" and "Bad habits." BiD HABITS: Is there any bad habit worse than the habit of the habitual drunkard? Even the inebriate himself, at least in his sober moments, mo-ments, will testify in the affirmative to this question. ques-tion. His is an absolute, positive, dejected slave, jabbing himself of respectability, dependability, eTery ability to be of use or value wherever he is. And he not only robs himself, but brings want and suffering to the door of his loved ones. LIQUOR, THOU ROBBER OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN MODERATION OR EXCESS! THE TOBACCO HABIT: Whoever got any good out o fit. Is there anything more obnoxious than that STALE old tobacco reek about men, to say the least of women. "It fouls the breath and burns the clothes And makes a chimney of the nose." ; Unknown. The tobacco habit is a waster of time and money. More disastrous fires are attributed to the cigarette than to any other one cause. Whoever enjoys the STINK of it? The cigarette robs women of their Faagrance and beauty, and no one can refute this! TOBACCO, THOU CHEATER OF CLEANLINESS! CLEANLI-NESS! GOOD HABITS: The Boy Scout Code is one of the very best declarations of proposed GOOD HABITS. Could we say, any habit is good that breeds no regrets respectability, dependability, punctuality, truthfulness, honesty, fragality, cleanliness, helpfulness, neighborliness. Any of these will help one hold the chin up, the head high, permit one to go anywhere, be anywhere, and help to do commendable service while there. Life is just what habit makes it for us, no more, no less. We all form habits. We have the God-given right to choose. Why not then habits with no regrets ? , 0. B.

The ceremony was performed February Feb-ruary 8 in the Gold Room of the Crown Rooms in Salt Lake City, by Bishop Stout of the Salt Lake Second LDS ward, in the presence of immediate family members and close friends. The bride was dressed in pale grey crepe with an orchid corsage, and carried a bridal bouqet of roses.

Heber this year, and Earl (Bill) Holmstead, coach of the local hoop squad, will appear with the American Fork Jaycee team Monday, Mon-day, March 3, when they play the original Negro Ghosts from Sioux City, Iowa. " ' ; ; ' The only member left from the original team is the veteran Wilkinson. Wil-kinson. High school and college coaches for years have brought their teams out to - watch the venerable "Pops" on the defen sive. It is claimed by many that although Wilkinson has slowed down, he is still one of the greatest great-est if not the top, defensive bas ketball player in the country to day. Another veteran with the Ghosts although he is but 24 years old now is 6 foot 6y2 inches "Suitcase" Sullinger. The Satchel Sat-chel is a pivot man with an exceptionally ex-ceptionally large hand, providing him with an unusual grip. This is his third season with the team. The Ghosts have built their reputation upon the games they have won, but the fans come out in overflow crowds because of the Colored lads ball handling and theif clowning. Pete Hood is the originator of basketball's hidden ball play, and the team as a whole is continually clowning clown-ing and performing. No matter how good a ball player a man is, he cannot make the Ghost team, unless he can also demonstrate individual showmanship of the highest degree. The game will be played at 8 ballot" p. m. in the American Fork high school gym. The honeymoon is over on Capi tol Hill. Feace and tranquility that has marked relations between the 27th Utah Legislature and Gov. Herbert B. Maw have been replaced by the old feud over politics and appointments. appoint-ments. What will come out of the situation situa-tion is pure speculation at this stage, but either the governor or the Senate must give ground during dur-ing the next two weeks, if the State's official family is to be complete com-plete when the legislators adjourn sine die. There appears little doubt in Capitol corridors that the Senate, and especially its Republican members, mem-bers, is holding up some of the governor's Democratic commission appointments in an effort to force reappointment of Otto A. Wiesley, Republican to the Utah Industrial Commission. ' The governor already has submitted sub-mitted the name of H. Fred Egan held by Mr. Wiesley, and he was of Salt Lake for the position now one of five who failed to draw a commitment from the Senate following fol-lowing an executive session during the session s sixth week. . Others submitted, but neither1 confirmed nor refused, were J. Lambert Gibsoon, Democratic chairman chair-man of the State Tax Commission; Dr. Philo T. Farnsworth. Democrat, for the State Public Welfare Commission; and Arthur L. Craw ford. Republican, and Rulon S. Howells, Democrat, for the State Publicity and Industrial Develop ment Commission. , Gibson, Crawford and Howells are all interim appointments and their names were, submitted as early as Jan. 21, while names of Egan and Farnsworth, the latter ap pointed to the welfare commission when the Senate refused to confirm the interim appoinament of Wendell Grover to fill the unexpired term of David Trevithick, were preferred pre-ferred during the past two weeks. Probably more disturbing to the amiable relations between the governor and legislature than the appointment issue during the sixth week was action on a "headlens bill. Governor Maw took Washing Neckwear Keep a sponge and a wide-mouthed, wide-mouthed, covered jar in the bathroom. bath-room. When washing delicate neckwear, neck-wear, place it in the jar filled with suds and shake. This saves wear on fragile lace and fabric.

With the Dicturesoue Gretna Green Wedding chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada as a, setting, a double-rine wedding ceremony uniting Miss Fawn Hirst and Don L. Peet was solemnized by Minister Albert C.

Stimulates Egg Laying: At one time it was thought that lights increased egg production in the winter months due to a longer day which gave the hens more time to eat. Later research has shown that the increased production is due to the lights stimulating the pituitary pitu-itary glands of the chickens through the eyes, and this in turn stimulates stimu-lates activities of the egg-producing organs. Lions Club to Present Boxing Tournament For Playground Benefit Under the auspices of the AAU, the Lehi Lions Club are sponsoring sponsor-ing a boxing tournament in the high school gym Saturday, March 1, at 8 p. m. Jay Lambert, native of this city, will be featured in a bout with Floyd Richards, light heavyweight champ now at the national exhibitions at Chicago, who took the Golden Gloves championship recently at Denver. Jay is a member of the West Jordan Boxing Club, and won the heavyweight Golden Gloves title at Ogden a few weeks ago. " Marv Jensen, manager of the West Jordan club, will take charge of the bouts. Matches are planned with members of the local American Legion Junior Boxing Club and junior members of the West Jordan club. The local club is directed by Joseph R. Lambert of the American Ameri-can Legion, and consists of boys ranging in age from 7- to 17. an alloted five days to veto the measure, and the Senate responded by overriding the veto on a 17-6 count. ' The House, however, was not inclined to override and the proponents of the measure were successful in putting the bill on the table by a 37-20 vote. This gives the ,"override" advocates ad-vocates an opportunity to gather new strength, but there appears little hope, even in the most optimistic opti-mistic quarters, of passing the bill over the veto. Some Senate observers saw the override more as an attempt to set a precedent, but the more popular opinion is that these in favor of the measure see considerable value to the "headless ballot" in building build-ing good government. It was introduced in-troduced by sens. Ward C. Hol-brook Hol-brook (D-Davis) and Mitchell (R-Grand) and would eliminate party emblems and the "straight" vote listing the candidates by the office and placing party designation designa-tion opposite each candidate's name. Among those scheduled to appear j Voting against the override in Saturday are Karl Hicks, Jim the Senate were Sens. Val H. Beveridge, Dale Roberts, Harold Cowles (D-Carbon), Lorenzo E.' Christensen.

Senator Fowles was the son. Clifford Sorenson, Gene and oniy member of the upper house Jesse Bennett, Karl and Jay j to change his vote between original j l, Warner's (R-Sevier) HB-151 propriation. The Senate also passed a measure mea-sure to reduce the Publicity and Industrial Development commission to one member and its proponents are predicting the bill will gain approval ' of the House and the governor. Opposing the measure in the Senate were Senators Cowles, Elggren, Fowles and Selvin, while the appropriation measure for $300,000 per year won unanimous approval. Closest vote of the session in the Senate to date saw final passage of a measure to eliminate the dealer's license of $5 for selling oleomargarine on a count of 12-11. The question of taxes occupied most of the time of members of the House during the week. Seven of a series of eight' measures, sponsored by the Utah Tax Study committee and designed to equalize property assessments throughtout the state, were approved. The eight measure, HB-94, to provide for removal from office of county assessors who fail to assess proper ty as provided by law, was defeated de-feated by a favorable voice vote to strike the enacting clause. The seven tax bills provide for assess ment of property on a basis of 50 per cent fair, reasonable cash value and provide for close super vision of the program by the btate Tax Commission. Tax relief for a large number of Utahns, people with estates of $40,000 or less, also appeared in the offing when the House placed its stamp of approval on an already al-ready passed Senate bill, SB-108 by Senators Alonzo F. Hopkins (D-Rich); Dexter Farr (D-Weber) and Claud Hirschi (R-Washington). This measure would eliminate in-hertitance in-hertitance taxes on estates of $40,000 or less where the residue is willed to the surviving spouse or children. At the present time, Utah law exempts only estates of $10,000 or less. A third tax measure, however, would increase by 60 per cent the gasoline tax motorists would have to pay. Introduced by Reps. (Mrs.) C. L. Jack and Don C. Hale (D-Salt (D-Salt Lake), the gas" tax bill would' increase the present four-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline to six cents. This increase would be limited to the years 1947, 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1951. To encourge industrial expansion in the state, Mrs, Jack introduced HB-232 which would grant corporations corpora-tions which process or manufacture finished goods from Utah raw materials certain exemptions on payment of corporation , franchise taxes. This exemption would be determined by adopting a ratio arrived at by comparing the sales ' of goods finished in Utah to the sales of all products and other income. Already law is HB-130 by Rep. E. K. Olson (D-Carbon). This bill, signed by Gov. Maw, will give veterans, if single, an income tax exemption of $2700 and, if married, $3300 for the years 1946 through 1949. , Another measure approved by both houses was SB-93 by Sen. Sol J. Selvin (D-Tooele) which will eliminate the burden of welfare which the various conties of the state have borne. The 15 per cent which the counties have been contributing con-tributing through funds raised from property taxes henceforth will be obtained from state sales tax collections. Another major welfare bill was approved by the House with sur prising: ease. It was Kep. William which would limit weltare payments pay-ments to $175 per month regardless of the size of the needy family. In addition, the state would have a preferred claim on all estates plus $200 Zimmerman, Allan Gray, Paul ' passage and the override vote. Calton, Garth Walton.
