The "Home of Ideas, which is being built at Olmsted as part of the fall and winter program for enis couraging home ownership, stated it was nearing completion, by W. E. Fleetwood, Provo Division Manager, Utah, Power & Light Company today. He said the companv is cooperating in the constructive program for stimulating home building with allied industries, and builders banks, architects and the Federal Housing Administration.

Mr. Fleetwood further explained that jobs are the great need of the hour and that increased building activity would not only cause an enormous contribution to employment but would have a far reaching social significance by providing the stability that goes hand in hand with wide ownership of homes. J. W. Norwood in Nov. To You.' Farly American pioneers and trailers learned from .Indian friendsthat there was some sort of secret society among them regarded by the whites as their "Great Medicine Lodge, which partook of the nature of religion or superstition. No white man was ever initiated into it, though some of its ceremonies seem to have been witnessed by a few whites. From clues found in the curious Indian document known as the WALAM OLUM, we find it possible to present a startling picture of American iroin the viewpoint of religion. Not only did the North American Indians have religion and temples, but they possessed as nearly a universal religion as has ever appeared on the face of the globe. This religion was that of the Priests House, or the Holy House as it was known among the Sioux, their bitter enemies. According to the legendery part of the Walem Olum, Kitche Man-itothe Great Spirit, made everything. He was an spirit who created all things and endowed them with his spirit. In the Holy House, Indians went through various degrees of initiations which taught them how they should act in connection with all the other creations of the Great Spirit. This was the reason, therefore, that the early whites most in friendly contact with the Indians no matter of what tribe or race in an exceptional program. The evening session, under the direction of the Mutual Improvement Association, presented an interesting program Which had as its principal feature, a talk by Ernest Frandsen, teacher in the Seminary. Miss Miriam Cutler gave the story of Ruth-frothe Bible which harmonized with the music directed by Mrs. Celeslia J. Taylor. nt Whats Going On Church Security How Will page You Vote? by Tests Pity the Poor Motorist (Continued pleted, it will be offered for display purposes as one of the features of the campaign to stimulate home building.

The very nature of the mechanism they ride predicates to jerky and abrupt movements and turnings and permits them to ride out at you in frail physique from behind some concealing piece of traffic. Next, I think I hate slow traffic that cling to the lefthond side of the traffic lane or road. Then, the driver who takes advantage of my courtesy to crowd me out of a line or cut into the place I should rightfully have and am making toward. But these actions indicate character deficiencies that we cannot hope to irradicate from the motorist alone when it slips by unnoticed in the rest of humanity who do not happen to be in cars at the moment. Then, I despise speed limits that are exaggerated ideas of a safe rate of travel at that locality; or limits that are set up merely for aesthetic pleasure for no one, not even the speed patrol, recognizes them. And I grow mightily indignant when some one who sees a mistaken bit of driving remarks, "You can bet its a woman driver. It is a disadvantage to be a woman driver in spite of the fact that, in comparison with men, she seldom drives into an accident. Women do not take the chances men do which more than makes ,up for their deficiency in reaction time and their excitability in jams or their ignorance of the mechanisms they control. You do not often hear a woman blow her horn when she should have used her brakes or commence tooting at the cars ahead the minute the red light changes to yellow or there is a traffic jam. Pity the poor motorist who is bound, ignorantly or inadvertently, to make mistakes sometimes if be is human, but who must also shoulder the blame for the mistakes of every other user of the roads. Who must not have the character imperfections that seem always to have belonged to humankind and which are still excusable when not functioning in an automibile. dare-dev- (Continued from page one) be enabled to exempt homesteads and personal property not to exceed $2,000.00 in value. It is my personal opinion that the home discriminated Muirs have been our and that previous State against Legislatures have been insensitive to the requests of the home owners for relief. Amendment No, 5 gives the home owner the right to take the matter in his own hands. If he does not take advantage of this Amendment, it is hard to tell when he will get another such opportunity. The State Committee of Nir has proved that there are from available funds ample sources other than the property tax io replace the losses to the schools, counties, and cities that will result from homestead exemption under Plan 4B. There are dangers conected with this exemption. One objection is that the Legislature will not replace he losses to the schools, counties, and cities before it exempts homes. In other words, the Legislature should build new house before it tears down the old one, This danger, however, is remote. pre-w- ar Conference (Continued from page one) Seminary; and President Bigler.

It is anticipated that most of the output will be used in stakes of the church where fruits and vegetables such as were canned hcr'e are not readily available. I tali and Sharon stakes being in the fruit belt makes it unlikely that any considerable amount of products will be ued in this territory. However, these products will be exchanged for products of other stakes which may be needed here, such as flour, coal, and in some instances manufactured articles. A system of exchange is being worked out at the present time. A complete detailed report of the cannery's operations will be made available in a future issue of this paper. - Plans for growing canning crops by Priesthood quorums throughout the stake are akeady being made. It has been suggested each quorum in the stake locate a small plot of ground which can be adapted to some canning crop and that the soil be prepared this fall so that it will be ready for seasonable planting next spring. The quorums as groups are being urged to do all the work in connection with these crops. If this plan is followed through there should be available for the church cannery enough produce to keep it running from early in the spring until at full capacity. mid-wint- SHARON OF Pre-Histor- October, turned first to Manchuria when iioin rel'giois organizations and a Japan tried to take a slice of Chi- complete separation of affairs of America ic supposed their entire lives were guided by the Medicine Lodge ol its equivalent. Reverence for the Great Spirit was and still, remains the chief characteristic of North American Indians. We will take a single example of how this ancient Indian philosophy determined the civil life and conduct of the first natives of this country. Land tenure laws existed among the Indians no less than among the white people who came among them. But with what a difference. The Indian believed, and so regarded it as law, that no individual on earth had the right to say he owned one foot of land. It belonged to Kitcke Manitou. The Indian had the right to use the land and trade and sell it but not to say he owned it. This explains part of the trouble between the Indians and white people. From the Indian viewpoint, the minute one abandons use of the land he occupies, any one else, including themselves, has a right to occupy and use it. Use alone gave a right to a piece of land. As to where the "Holy House The originated, no one knows. traditions of the people as recorded in the Walam Olum say that their great national hero, "The White One!1, first received the ritual from his enemies whom he defeated and who brought about peace by this means. Circumstances point to this period as perhaps preceeding the Ice Age in America, about 10,000 years ago. Historians report the entry of these people from Asia about 16,000 years ago. The legend says that a group of little old w'se men went into counsel to discover what made everything move in the order it does and from their observations concluded it was the work of the great Manitou. They taught, and the Indians obeyed their teaching, that the Indians should not kill their food in sport. Each animal had his spirit and an apology was made it for killing it so the Great Spirit would pardon the killer. Nothing was wantonly destroyed. According to the legend, the Indians learned about agriculture from the Sioux and it is not known where the Sioux learned it. There is a curious blend of Central and Northern American religious organization and ritual in the southwestern part of this nation that is most interesting It does not seem possible, how'ever, 'at the Holy House came from Mexico or Central America. na, then to Ethiopia and Italy, and Under the Guise Of Religion History is crowded with recoids of religious conthcts and wars. The issue in such strife in older times was boldly stated and clearly defined. But the time came when the world was supposed to have won religious freedom and the light to believe according to the dictates of mans own conscience, unmolested. Especially was it to divide the affairs of State from the affairs of Church the two are supposed to fill entirely different phases of a mans existence. But the general acceptance of this theory failed to produce the harmony it was thought it would do men still grow intensely emotional over a discussion of the subject of religion and reveal hatred, anger bigotry and bitterness as vividly as ever. But we dont call sucji subjects religion anymore. It is instead a set of beliefs ' affecting all life even the life of the State.. The eyes of the world now toward Spam.
