I'M TOLD that there are two ardent fisherwomen (they must remain anonymous), both over 60, who always write over 21 on e applitheir annual cations. Last year they found a new clerk at the license counter. Twas in a Magna store, too. He took their old licenses and proceeded to copy down the information. When he came to the line marked age he hesitated for a moment, then he wrote over 22. fishing-licens- I WAS looking through a scrapbook the other night that I kept when I was working for the Salt Lake Tribune. Now I have found that the Big Story in every instance was on the other side of my important clipping. I thought I was pasting up the real news but it wasnt, for the real news is the everyday life of people. Thirty-fiv- e years from now, despite the Khrushchev pronouncements, the twirling Sputniks and artificial planets, the Big Story will still be about people who struggle to pay the rent and get tuition for a girl in college. The story is about people who lose jobs and find better ones. How they go off to hear a first sermon of a new minister, bishop or priest, and how they raise their families, and how they die. Apd the moral is, dont paste up your scrapbooks with that white school paste.' It is a terrible problem trying to unpaste them without tearing the clippings. And 20 years from now youll be interested only in what was on the other side. ed "KING SOLOMON made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem." This, from the Song of Solomon, was some Cadillac. MY FAMILY likes Westerns and evidently so do 45,000,000 other television owners. I believe that everyone likes those Indian chases because our own lives are without obvious heroism or exertion. Can I sell that term policy? Will we get. that printing contract? Will the car hold up another winter? Such problems occupy us all of the time. But the Western hero has no such prosaic worries. He has little money (he has some myste- rious source of. income that we ' never know) but he is never in financial trouble. All he has to worry about is something simple, like, will he be ambushed at Dry Gulch Pass? All his worries are heroic and they are the easiest kind of worry. Once the hero has routed the rustlers and saved the girl, he doesnt have to wade through miles of paper work or even pay for the girls dental work. Hes free to ride off to the next town where the bank robbers have kidnaped the sheriff and sold firewater to the Indians. DR. WEGGELAND of Hercules Powder Co. tells the story of the man who had been unable to sleep for eight days and nights. All kinds of medicine had had no effect whatever, and in despera- tion the family summoned a renowned hypnotist. He fastened a beady eye on Mr. Jones as we shall call him and chanted, You are asleep, Mr. Jones! The shadows are closing about you. Soft music is lulling your senses. You are asleep! You are asleep!" The anxious family looked at the ailing man and sure enough, he was asleep. Youre a miracle worker, the grateful son told the hypnotist and paid him a substantial bonus. The hypnotist outdeparted in triumph. As the side door closed, Mr. Jones opened one eye.

It was relayed to us through the courtesy of Or. J. O. Brinton, member of the Granite District Board, and the educational aspects are particularly appropriate to the program of Lights On For Education, this Thursday night at local schools, sponsored by the Parent-Teache- r Assns.) We are now at the end of the third decade of the national insanity known as progressive education. This was the education where everybody passes, where the report cards were noncommittal lest the failure be faced with the fact of his failure, where all moved at a snail pace like a transAtlantic convoy so that the slowest need not be left behind, and all proceeded toward adulthood in the lockstep of Thus the competition that togetherness. breeds excellence was to be sacrificed for the benefit of something called life adjustment. With what results? We have watched juvenile delinquency climb steadily. We have produced tens of thousands of high school graduates who move their lips as they read and cannot write a coherent paragraph. While our Russian contemporaries, who were supposed to be dedicated to the mass man, have been busy constructing an elite, we have been engaged in the wholesale production of mediocrity. What a switch! When was the last time you examined the curricula of your local schools?

When have you looked at your schools report cards and the philosophy behind their grading system? Have you asked to examine any English themes? We have reached the stomach-turnin- g point. We have reached the point where we should the debilitating philosophy of permissiveness. Let this not be confused with the philosophy of liberty. The school that permits our children to develop a quarter of their natural talents is not a champion of our lib. erties. Successful Stake Conference Completed Lets look to our educational institutions at the local level, and if Johnny cant read by the time hes ready to get married, lets find out why. And these are some of the reasons why everyone should attend the programs Thursday night of Lights On For Education. Listen to the brief televised programs, talk with the teachers.

Encourage them to stay. Give them royal treatment. WHO ARE "THEY? Messrs. Rain and Snow, of course, and Magna and Hunter area residents should treat any storm attempts with a great deal of respect. A nice falling of snow was recorded Friday and glad eyes turned to the gray skies in hopes of a larger onslaught of moisture. Just about everyone agrees we need it. The storm front pushed down temperatures, although the day was extremely cold on Thursday. And with this low temperature, one of the worst tailings storms in the history of the area was recorded much to the disgust of housewives and merchants, who spent the weekend sweeping it out, cleaning it out. The tailings has a capacity of seeping through almost anything and approached such density Thursday afternoon and evening that it resembled fog. The extremely dry season of no snow or rainfall was blamed for this particular obnoxious type of storm. So, everyone bid welcome to this most welcome moisture that might make the driest records since 1919 take a back-sea- t. However, considerable snow is being reported on the mountains. -- Funeral Rites Conducted For Henry Johnson Funeral rites were held Saturday noon in the Pleasant Green LDS Ward Chapel for John 15 S.

He referred to prophecies from the leaders of the church, saying that Some have been fulfilled, some are being fulfilled, and some have yet to be fulfilled. To a congregation of nearly 1,400 people he said: If we can see these prophecies being fulfilled, it behooves us as members of this church to get our lives in order and also the lives of our neighbors and loved ones. He then related to the congregation some of the prophecies from the leaders of the church. He said that we must prepare ture. President Carl E.

This brought to his mind the Ten and repeating Commandments, them, he admonished the congregation to live and keep the commandments of God. (Continued on Back Pagt) |
