This quotation from the Divine Office of the noonday hour during Lent puts us in mind of one of the parables of Christ where He speaks of a gardener begging for just one more chance for a tree in the orchard. The owner comes by, on inspection, and is disgusted to find that the tree has not been producing. What the reason was is not given. It may not have been a healthy or strong plant to begin with, but anyway, the gardener pleads for pity. (What green-thum- b aspirant likes to admit defeat?) the Let me, he intercedes, use' all the skill and know-homethods and techniques of good horticulture before you destroy this sickly tree and replace it.

Because they hold inarches, conduct picketing demonstrations, and instigate headlines in the newspapers, they have attracted attention out of all proportion to their numbers. AN IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLE of how Americans really feel about the war in Vietnam and the statement signed by 104 national figures of the stature of former Vice President Richard M. Nixon; former Secretary of State Dean Acheson; retired gen, eral Lucias D. Clay; and former Harvard President James R. Conant, among others, which was summarized in the daily press across the nation. ( Circulated Itv Freedom House, a nonpartisan patriotic and educational organization, the statement effectively summarizes the position of those who itphold ail obligation of lioiior. an the US is now mcctiug'm Vietnam. This is no longer merely a question for domestic deliute oxer national policy. Across the world, friend and foe alike are watching intently to gauge the strength of our national purpose.

BY THE END of the first week of January, a total of 477,-00- 0 students at 322 campuses across the nation had set their names to a scroll supporting US policy in Vietnam. The sending of letters of support to US soldiers in Vietnam, the donation of blood, the preparation of food and snacks to send to Vietnam and the personal concern for our obligation to Southeast Asia all point out to even the most casual observer why we are fighting in Vietnam. We are in Vietnam because itiost Americans feel we should lie and they support our obligations and commitments in Southeast Asia.

The advances of medicine and agriculture are magnificent, stupendous, and no one would want to detract in the least from the accomplishments of these branches of science and of the patient and dedicated servants who make the discoveries. The fact remains that all the treatments, cures and prevention always presuppose something to work with. The elan vital has to lie there; no physician yet has ever cured a corpse. And in a large way, the effective practice of medicine is simply removing the olistacles to good health and then letting nature do its liest. This seems to be the law of nature, universally recognizable and undeniable. Should it be surprising then, that somewhat the same principle continues to be operative, carried over into the supers natural order? Theologians repeat that the order of grace presupposes and is based on the natural, it does not supplant it .or destroy it. You can only preach the possibility of love to the sort of being that is capable of it: a. spiritual being. Yet our nature, wonderful creation of the Almighty that it is, finds itself in a wounded state. It needs a great deal of help even to live up to the best that's within its capabilities, to say nothing of realizing (again with help) what surpasses them. The glory and sublimity of the Cos pel message is that this elevation and assistance is given to us, has been promised and vouchsafed to us, is offered to us for acceptance. Aye, theres the nib. Some people imagine that because the gift is gratuitous on the part of God therefore it is unconditional. But our acceptance implies the exercise of free will; the doing of what already lies within our power. THINCS BEING as they are, it is inescapable that to achieve the fullness of what Cod would bestow upon us we have to do .our part. And our growth in the spiritual order is similar to that of the tree in the orchard. We have to prune and trim away, cut back, drive in supports, irrigate, cultivate, nourish and nurture, wrap around protection, warm with smokepots when a freezing spell threatens, pay all kinds of attention to the rules of good health and expectant growth. God helps those who help themselves. What nonsense to expect Cod to do for us, what in reality. He expects us to do for Him, and for ourselves! This is die meaning of penance and this is why we have a special season for it in all intensified way. Although the whole life of a Christian, as Martin Luther observed, is one of penance. The relationship between Cod and ourselves, is a reciprocal one, as are all forms iff love. We do not buy or purchase grace when we do penance-i- f we do it. We simply fulfill the necessary predisposition. We do not put God into our debt, which is metaphysically impossible; we merely open up our receptacles or empty them of material so that He can pour into them the riches of His love. Nor does this substract from His sovereignity, for we would not even search for Him unless He had previously .drawn us; our free cooperation is in itself due to His prevenient inspiration and His prime motivation. IN HUMAN AFFAIRS we see these things clearly enough: there are certain achievements and satisfactions which are worth while only if we do them; if someone gives them to us without our being involved at all in the process, they are, by that very fact, of no; value. There are certain loves which have 'to be tested and proved to be trustworthy. There are certain prizes and rewards that have to be won. Time out of mind, it has been the same in regard to Divine Love. Our age is no different; if anything, we need more penance, not less.

The National Honor Society, which gives recognition to outstanding students on the basis of scholmnhip, leadership, citizenship, and service, chose 7 students from Dugway student body to become new members. Throe deserving students are Shaun Langdorf, Ginger Gardner, Marcene Minara, Shirley Eastland, Dorothy Western, Kae Olsen, and Jane Kleve. They join with the ten other club members to from the main core of leaders at DHS. A Junior National Honor Society was created this year to give recognition to outstanding junior high school students in This group has also grades chosen new members including Kim Langdorf, Peggy King Sharon Dunn, Ellen Longo, Monte Rudd, and Anne Harlow. This club which now has a membership of 21, was organized to include students of the same qualifications as those of the senior group. Tire Senior English class took a trip to Salt Lake City on Thursday February 17 to see a matinee showing of Othello". The seniors had read the (day in their Junior English Class and found the movie very helpful in putting the action of the play together to form one continuous story. They hope fire classes in years to come will have the same chance to see a play of this quality; it was an educational trip never to be forgotten. The Pep Club Valentines Dance fro die Senior High was held Saturday, February 19 in the Officers Club. The teens danced to the music of the Journeymen in the lavishly decorated ballroom that was decorated in a clever color scheme of red and white. Nancy Brothers and Dorothy Western were the general chairmen of the dance and are to be highly commended for producing such a smashing success. The Junior High's Valentines Dance was held the same eveschool gym and ning in the high also used a red and white color scheme. The decorations helped make this one of the prettiest and most successful dances of the year. 0.
