They protested so strongly that the legislators scuttled the bill in a hurry. There was a principle at stake, kids the constitutional right of the citizen of the United States to keep and bear arms. And another broader principle - - the principle of freedom that is guaranteed every citizen, up to the jxint where his freedom infringes on the property and rights of other citizens.

There are bounteous crops growing on onetime desert wastes, here in Box Elder. Some of the spirit of our pioneer ancestors w'ho came west for other, deeper values than gold, is with us yet. Box Elder county is almost devoid of class consciousness. There are no extremes of rich or poor. Our area isnt so populous but that we can take the time and trouble to know real worth in our fellow men, and value them for what they are - - not just what they seem to be. There is the spirit of cooperation that was essential in harder, earlier times, and has carried through to the present. There is tolerance for the opinions of others, a freedom from bigotry. There is faith in God. Why do Box Elder kids grow big and strong and healthy? diets are relatively cheap and easy to accomplish, even for families of most modest circumstances, in an area so well favored by nature. Thats all a part of it. And it seems to follow logically that we take a great interest in our schools. Utah is the marvel of the nation in its willingness to dig deep to pa for better and ever better schools. Our schools are not just an incidental matter, a sort of babytending service for us in Utah, and particularly in Box Elder county. Well get red in the face and raise our voices in debate of this or that action of the school board. Well become deeply concerned in argument over the thesis that the The community and the entire county join this week in extending congratulations to the graduates of our countys two high schools on completion of their twelve years of public schooling, upon coming to a turning point in their lives, upon accomplishing a milestone more significant than their 21st birthday anniversaries will be. This, more than any other point in their lives with the possible exception of their marriages, is the precise point in time in which they wind up their childhood and become adult men and women. It is a momentous occasion for them, for their community and for their nation. Perhaps we, their fellow citizens, more than they are to be con- gratulated. Each spring, as another crop of high school students is finished off and pushed from the scholastic nest, we marvel. Each spring we are certain that this years class is the best yet. Each spring one or more of the faculty members says the same thing - - and really means it. We are in a better position to observe and be acquainted with the Box Elder graduating classes, year after year, than with the Bear River classes. But it is reasonable to assume that the. young Bears are as fine and outstanding young people as the Bees. Is it unanimous that our high schools turn out the finest young people in the world? All right, then, that brings up another question: How do they do it, anyway? What is it that makes Box Elder districts students such fine and promising young people? How do our schools, our towns, our coun- ty manage to produce such splendid young people, year after year? What is there in thtfir, breeding, their home, church fend school training that makes them so out- i ' standing ? If youre interested in those questions, as we are, well hazard a few of what we suspect to be innumerable answers, and wed welcome hearing from you. First, were northern Europeans, and have brought over in our ancestral lineage the spirit of industry, even frugality, and conservatism. Were inclined not to be gamblers and plungers, instead building our lives and our fortunes, private and public, cautiously and solidly. , Harking back to our feudal ancestors, we have a high regard for family, enhanced by religious influence. It is generally accepted, in these parts, that the highest success life has to offer is the rearing of worthy sons and daughters, and providing for them the greatest opportunities for better and more useful lives. There are few divorces, few broken families in Box Elder. And there 5re few juve-- . nile delinquents. Going on, our conservatism is leavened with what has been known as the spirit of the West. Theres more to it than just hospitality, although hospitality is a token. Theres the courage and confidence to challenge any goal, no matter how high; the Well-balanc- ...

From the standpoint of sheer utility, we maintain a straw hat is worth every bit as much, and even more, than a felt hat. You can turn up your coat collar over your ears and let your hair grow in the winter time, but in the summer when the old sun starts beating down, you need a hat. three-col- or i Announcing the above schedules of arrivals and departures at Brigham.
