WEBB The following poem by Longfellow fits the present times, and we hereby offer it for your consideration: CHRISTMAS BELLS "I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play; And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men! "And in despair I bowed my head; There is no peace on earth,' I said; 'For hate is strong And mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men! Then pealed the bells more loud and deep; God is not dead nor doth He sleep! The wrong shall fail, The right prevail, With peace on earth, good will to men!"

PORS SHOE STORE LEIII, UTAH MERRY ClISTMAffl The pressure of war economy has multiplied the problems of maintaining teaching and operating op-erating staffs. Where, at one time, there was an abundance of well trained help, there is now a most acute shortage. This is brought about because of, two conditions: (a) teacher training institutions are not sending out their usual quota of graduates in the educational field and, (b) industry in-dustry has, because of. higher competitive salaries, depleted the ranks of experienced teachers. This shortage was anticipated last year in Alpine District and means were taken to partially solve the problem. A refresher course was initiated, the purpose i of which was to offer instruction designed for all teachers and former teachers so that experience exper-ience and credit requirements could be met. Then too, the Board of Education Educa-tion was able to make salary increases in-creases which not only made it possible for certain teachers to continue teaching, but also made it possible to bring in teachers from elsewhere. All together the results were encouraging and your schools started the year with a full complement of teachers. Since that date, of course, numerous replacements have been made as the need arose. The re-adjustment of the curriculum cur-riculum and the continual renewal re-newal of enthusiasm for pupil and teacher war services require leadership and adaptability of a high quality. The principals and their faculty members are meeting the challenge which confronts them. To conduct the business of a school district, especially the maintenance and repair of school plants, the purchase of needed teaching and general supplies, the transportation of large numbers of students to and .from school, the continuance of proper health and educational procedures, all these present a challenge to genuine managerial ability. And in these . factors contributing to successful school operation your district is mak ing headway. It is quite possible that one of the most noticeable attitudes on the part of students generally is the serious tone which is enter ing their school activities. The viewpoint of the nation and the armed services especial ly, regarding the necessity of adequate schooling has helped very materially in this change Parents and teachers, who have always felt the need for adequate training, are seeing their contention con-tention borne out in present-day trends. Student accounting, pupil guidance, and counsel programs are finding a rich field for operation op-eration in helping pupils and parents to adjust when on one hand the school awaits and on the other hand there is employment employ-ment which offers most attractive attrac-tive inducements. And to further furth-er complicate the picture con fronting the student the school attendance laws and the child labor laws must be adhered to. These problems and these ad justments your school officials are striving most diligently .to meet. The following quotation from the letter of a son who is on duty in the Pacific may serve to summarize this discussion, he writes; "And Mom, no matter what comes along, tell that kid brither of mine to stay with his studies. Try to show him that the most important days of his life are those he will spend at school. And on Sunday see that all the kids go to Church. I believe that, if the right spirit ual and educational teachings had been followed out over this world, we boys would have been home this Christmas instead of where we are". Our entire business has been built upon friendship. We look upon all our customers as our friends, and are determined to give them the friendliest friend-liest service possible. It is our aim to wrap up a little friendliness in each transaction. Thanks, friends, one and all, for the privilege privi-lege of serving you. And we want to say right now, as fervently as we can say it . . .
