Anott,er year has rolled around, and Christmas is again near at hand. To 4 child, it is a time of fond anticipation for Santa. Clans is supposed to t the homes of good boys and girls with his precious pack, distributing . and there the very things the youthful heart has been wishing tor. f To many of us Christmas is but the recurrence of one of many holi-i holi-i necessitatiDg the spending of money for presents and an extra amount r'Vork on the good house wife. Would that the fond anticipations of 'Itlhood might continue to abide with us, that Christmas time might bring ht hopes and happiness to every home! As we grow in years, we may still make our Christmas time happy by bestowal of our love and sympathy and of our substance unto others, Iwing out the words of the Master whose birth we honor, "It is more vised to give than to receive." The parent rejoices when by some act or 4 the child is made happy. If our hearts are right, we are glad to see jjlrs enjoy a full measure of happiness even if our own pathway is not 'ijwa with roses. . . ( . .'.. i still room for greater and more Intelligent In-telligent efforts along these Indus, trial lines, and the launching out Into In-to other fields of industrial activity that our community may grow in numbers and in wealth. But if we grow, we must provide additional employment. Cannot our business men who have associated themselves in the Lion's Club exert themselves along these lines. Their efforts in behalf of good roads, good schools, etc. are commendable, but if we grow and are happy we must have the where with which to purchase pur-chase the necessities of life and to pay our taxes. We cannot live automoDiks and good roads an mountain scenery. To be a happy community, besides being industrious, we must maintain proper normal and religious stand, ards. We commend the efforts that have been put forth to provide good healthy recreation and amusements. May the dove of peace and happl. ness visit our homes this Christmas time, bringing good cheer and a desire de-sire to live that we may be a righteous, righte-ous, happy and progressive community.

Many j who have spent their lives in the cliulation of wealth, towards the I of life's journey, wake up to a ization of the fact that their jridly possessions are as dross as sfared to the real joy that comes f f ring a life of service and of un- sih giving unto others.

(IVbtmas (Greetings For nineteen hundred years it lias been the custom of Christian people to cease their busy fight for the almighty dollar, at a time which marks the birth of the Redeemer of the world. We all cease struggling and turn our thoughts to social life and home, and follow the Angels message "Peace On Earth Good Will To Men,'" or in our weak way are trying to do this, as a plan laid down by the Wise men of the Kast who went to see the Clirist Ch;ld, and presented llha with Gold, Franeineense and Myrrh, and we, following that long ordained custom, do likewise. Now with Santa Claus peeping around the corner and everybody thinking of everybody else, may he pass no door in our city, before leaving of Ilis many gifts, in His great pack the very things desired by the children, and the grown-ups of each home. So that it may he a very -deed. A Happy Christmas and I trust this holiday season will hold for you all a real share of the Yule-tide spirit and 'that the New Year may bring to you and yours, Health. Wealth and Happiness. So dear friends from the bottom of my heart I truly wish you on this day, A Merry Christmas, and a little later, A Happy New Year. Accept this as my offering of Peace and Good Will and the esteem in which I hold the citizens of Lehi. I have the pleasure to remain, Yours verv respectfully. JOSEPH S. JiPiOADBRNT, ,: Mayor of Lehi.

The most Immediate and pressing problem of rural school Improve. ment is that of reorganization, xne uiree its, wuui vaiuauie, tin uu longer considered the most fundamental in education, the health of the body, the proper home training, which means the proper cooperation of home and school, citizenship or the art of living together In communities-Vocations, communities-Vocations, or being able to do something to earn a living. Worthy leasure the enjoyment of the right kind of literature from books, magazines and daily papers games, dances, picture shows, going Into the great-out-of-doors, the mountains, music, fine and applied art are all just as important import-ant in the development of manhood and womanhood as Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. In fact the three R's do not hold the eame relative posi. i tion with each other as in former days reading la far more vital than either of the other two, writing has lost ground, the typewriter is moving it into the back ground and Arithmetic does not play the same part as a fundamental as wa3 formally considered. But these are not the vital v.. Qn nrWatinn after all. what about the hoys and girls. Their luiu&a iu. differences their likes and dislikes thir development mentally, physically, morally these have been little thought of antil within the past ten years and now a school system which does not take into consideration these problems is not an efficient up-to.date system.

The Seventh, Eighth and Ninth different from those in Senior High School.

If this project is followed out by the incoming officers some special financing financ-ing plan will have to be worked out, said Mayor Broadbent, To raise the estimated revenue called for by the budget a tax levy of 1816 mills will be necessary next year.

' m o With Our Missionaries 436 Main Street Red Wood City, California December 17, 1927. Lehi Sun Publishers, Lehl, Utah. Dear Sirs: It has been a Hource of joy to me in looking forward to the arrival of your much appreciated paper, the Lehi Sun. I herewith desire to civa you my appreciation for its inspired pagefl. It has been a big incentive to me as well as to others, to greater missionary efforts for several reasons, rea-sons, first I am able to know all is well at home through it pages, second, I am able to obtain from Its pages a general understanding of events as they are taking place at home, which shows to us you are pushing forward, and' we desire to do likewise. It was impossible for me to fully appreciate our home paper till coming com-ing into the mission field, where news from home is long looked for, and the arrival brings satisfaction. It has now been a year since I arrived ar-rived In the mission field, how the time gone so fast is a marval to me. Monday morning brings a smile across my face as I hear the Elders remark: Here's Elder Whimpey's Sun. ; I did some country work In Nevada before coming to the San Jose District of the California Mission. Mis-sion. Since coming here I have continued con-tinued to enjoy the work of the Lord. Here I have labored in a number of towns and have met it.eeems an in-numberable in-numberable number of religionists, some have treated me with courtesy others the reverse. However both are necessary in order for us to appreciate ap-preciate our work as the wiee poverb says: "The bitter is necessary neces-sary in order to appreciate the sweet." " ' ;. . Just recently I was called to labor in the two towns of Palo Alto and Red Wood City, with Elder Everett Devey. A good work is being donn here and we look for added success in the near future. Palo Alto is where the famous Standford University is located'. It therefore falls to the lot of our members who are located there to be in the Invironment of intellectual in-tellectual achievements. We have here about one hundred members, they treat the mlfisionaries very good, rt is one of the best organized and running branches In the mission. Thanking you for the prompt sending send-ing of this paper, and wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Tear I am Sincerely. Elder Don L. "Whimper. I i- " ' m- i LEHI VS.
