Bracken Lee in the comparatively short time he has been in office has taken bold steps in a move to give the government back to the people. Strong local governmental units are essential to a democracy and service to the people starts and ends in the city and county. The smaller units of government the town and county can be bulwarks of governmental efficiency and honesty. Autocratic state governments serve the political expediency of the party in power without regard to economy or efficiency. In an address before the county officers' association last week, Gov. Lee told the delegates: "Your officers certainly cert-ainly are as capable of enforcing these laws as are the state officers. We don't want to duplicate our enforcement work. I know the power that a city and county possesse. You can't convince me that you haven't a job to do and I want no excuses." Gov. Lee's move to keep the government at home calls for enforcement of the state liquor laws, traffic and gambling statutes by local officers. The chief executive reminded county commissioners that they have the power to revoke ganizatlon was effected at the Sunday evening services, fay A. Briggs, who has been serving as first counselor, was released be cause of ill health; Mildred H. Peters was released as secretary, and Lcvenia C. Booth was released re-leased as Teacher Topic leader. Leah C. Holley, who has been serving as second counselor, was advanced to first counselor to Myrtle C. Houston, president. Erma K. Frandsen (Mrs. Melvin) was sustained as second counselor; counse-lor; Lenna M. Desmond (Mrs. William) is the new secretary, and Hilda P. Wagstaff will take HILL) T. VK1UHT NOW IN NEWFOUNDLAND Fred T. Wright, who has been connected with the Royal Dutch Air Lines since last July, has received a promotion and been transferred from New York to Gander, Newfoundland, and is now there with his family. He reports that the people are very friendly and he thinks they will enjoy life there. There is plenty of snow but it is expected and the people are prepared to cope with hard winters, Mr. Wright reported. licenses of law violators. He further said that no city or county officer should wink at any law violations and that here should be no buck passing to the executive branch. "I know that the citizens have recourse to the courts to take action ac-tion against any officer who does not perform his duty," the governor declared. The challenge is to every citizen be he laborer, chemist, chem-ist, engineer, or college professor, to watch over his birthright of democratic standards. He must guard it with word and deed democratic government begins with the individual and vanishes when he fails to Hit his hand to guard against the germs of decay corrupt local units and autocratic state governments.

The area sDeech contest has been set for March 12 and each school in the area will send a candidate to the contest which will be held in Provo. Winner of the area meet enters the state contest later in the spring. President LaMar Drew, Vice President Clive Jorgensen, Athletic Athle-tic Manager Floyd Vest, Secretary Maurice Patterson, Treasurer Van Burgess, and Sentinel Max Graff attended the executive ses sion. The local chapter now has 83 members enrolled in the vocational voca-tional agriculture activities of the Future Farmers. Entering early turkey ranching on a large scale, turkey growers of American Fork and vicinity have purchased an estimated 50,000 poults which will come on the market as early as Memorial Day. TTf-mecomine entertainment was held in AlDine ward Sundav evening for Elder Ross Burgess and Elder Ray F. Marsh who recently returned from missions for the church. Complaints have been received from many citizens of American Fork regarding children who hold on to the rear ends of mov ing automobiles to be pulled along the streets in a standing Dosition. In some cases, the drivers have stopped and at tempted to disperse the groups hitching rides, but usually were unsuccessful. The practice of hitching rides in this manner is . so obviously hazardous that it is unnecessary to describe here the many ways in which it could lead to serious injury or death. The practice is forbidden by state and local ordi nances. Furthermore, it is high ly unfair and discourteous to the driver to expose him against his will to the risk of being involved in an entirely needless accident Since it is not possible with a limited force to patrol the streets thoroughly, it is necessary that all parents be on the alert to de tect such practices on the part of theri children. Parents should train their children, by instruc tion and example, to avoid haz ardous pastimes and to encour age their playmates to do like wise. Often, the children's lives are at stake.
