" J. e ( ' .; ;. ji ,:. J ! j . ' . ' . ... 1- : I; - : 5 1 1 i ; i i i- The American people are in the midst of a celebration marking the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the greatest day this country has even known, its birth as a sovereign nation untrammeled by the fetters of foreign powers. From the very nature of things it would seem that the celebration this year should take on just a little more of enthusiasm and genuine American revelry than under ordinary ordin-ary conditions; and it doubtless would if Young America had its way. J3ut years ago, by legislation and public expression, this nation decreed de-creed that a "safe and sane" Fourth of July was the better kind and since that time youthful enthusiasm as manifested by the use of dangerous explosives and in some instances firearms has been somewhat some-what repressed and the result is a more or less quiet yet wholesome and enjoyable observance of the great day. There still lurks in the breast of the juvenile, however, a desire to make- a big noise on the glorious Fourth and where the sale of firecrackers fire-crackers and other explosives is not specifically forbidden, tkese death-dealing projectiles are yet available. But the safety of life and limb' demands that their use be discouraged if not positively prohibited. prohib-ited. It is therefore in order to warn the public and especially fathers and mothers against permitting their boys and girls to engage in this dangerous form of'holiday amusement, which-years ago had its toll in scores of dead and wounded young Americans every year. Under Un-der these conditions also the fire hazard was greatly augmented and millions of dollars worth of property loss was attributed to the use of fireworks. A properly regulated celebration with explosives included would perhaps not be ainiss, but jpieir nndiscriminate use, especially by children, should be positively barred. ,Let it not be said after the big holiday that there were any vietinm of such a dangerous practice. -Deseret News. VACATIONS Tts a pity that everywhere in life's work, vacations, couldn't 'be arranged nwwt of them like the teacher's with twelve months pay. Many men and women grind from start to finish' of an earthly career and stop at the final heartbeat. Sooner or later in the progress of the world more leisure will be available for the working men and women in every sphere of life. AVhat will be done with the spare time? Are we teaching ourselves to enjoy leisure in a healthful and helpful way? CALIFORNIA CHURCH SLOGAN Slogans have come into usage everywhere and the advertising value of a well-selected slogan has been found worth something to all classes 6f business men, as well as to' the poitical campaigners. The best thing which has been noticed in the way of a slogan recently re-cently was used in the advertising of a certain church in California: ''Why not come to church before they bring you in a hearse?" Most of us are eventually brought to some church in a hearse, and somebody ordinarily makes a speech over our dead bodies and tells the people how good we were. This church's slogan is sure to have "pulling power" if it is widely enough circulated. Certain it is that it will set most anybody thinking. My. my, my! When all the folks who have made millions down in Florida come back home, just think what grand and glorious times there'll be. . It looks good to see the college boys and girls back home for their summer vacations. They add life and color to the town. What has become of the old-fashioned youth who took his girl buggy riding Sunday afternoon and got back in time) for church that night? Science says that, of all sounds, a baby's cry has the greatest carrying power. And dad is the carrier. GOdD WILL IN BUSINESS: A very able judge recently gave this definition of goodwill " Goodwill is the disposition of the well-pleased well-pleased customer to return to the place where he has been well treated." A jSoffc Drank That is welcomed by everybody on a warm day. That sure enough soothes a dry throat and just "tingles" all the way down.
