Show THE MIDVALE JOURNAL MIDVALE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL NEWS ITEMS MUSIC APPRECIATION By Martha Johnson, 8-B Group Our music instr.uctor, Miss Smart, is. giving us as great a variety of work in music as possible and has put aside one period each week for music appreciation. Along with these lessons and the selections, we study the composers. Of all the composers we have studied, to me Beethoven has been the most interesting. Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770, but lived in Vienna, Austria. In his later life he became entirely deaf and never heard some of his own compositions. He died at the age of 57 years, 'ln Wenna. Beethoven's works for the piano are the greatest in the world. They are called sonatas. He wrote nine symphonies, which are called "The Immot:tal Nine." A symphony is divided into four parts which are called move ents. Each movement is made of tuneS' which are called themes. Only the finest of orchestras can play a symphony well. The phonograph record we heard of Beethoven's was the second movement of his eighth smyphony. • • SHORT TOPICS By Anna Jensen During the beet vacation, the teachers visited the Salt Lake city schools. The Junior High teachers substituted for those in the platoon and primary departments, so that everyone had a chance to see how other schools do things. The school census has just been taken. It shows that there are 805 students of school age in the community. The Midvale football squad lost a close -game to Murray by a score of 8 to 6. We were all proud, especially the girls, to see Johnny Dunoskovich get appointed captain of the junior police. The clean room contest is not over yet anq the pupils and teachers are workint to have their room urn. The ninth grade dramatic students are planning a theater party in the near future. The dancing students are all looking forward to the revue in the spring. • There have been so many boys and girls forgetting their locker keys that Mr. Horne has made a ruling to charge a nickel every time he lends the pass key. In the ffiology classes they are g&ing to disect some frogs soon. ..The Junior High Hallowe'en party turned out to be a success and we lft>pe we will have more entertainments during the coming year. • There was an assembly held Fri41lY afternoon for which junior traffic officers were elected. Miss T. Smart is still looking over l!!.any operas and we wish she would make her decision soon. We were all surprised Friday night at the Hallowe'en party to see a jazz orchestra from the faculty. The week after beet vacation the tests all started and we will soon get our report cards. The students of the platoon school say that they found the men teachers from the Junior High rather "hard-boiled" the day they taught ther~. The platoon students are determined to learn to work hard now so they will have the habit when they reach the upper grades. Things will be more pleasant, they think. Several girls from the 8-A grade are :decorating the Home Economics class room this week. The decora tlons are changed every week by diffe?ent students. Since seminary has been started. the students all look forward to that class on Tuesday. Some pupils were very disappointed to think they bad t~ miss a day of it during beet vaca- 'FAMiliARiTY' The rulnlster was not complaining exactly: h~ was simply making a statement of fa rt He hall been out c a l I I n g on his PArishioners ItS a faithful past or should, and bE> bad f 0 u n d no one at home.

There was a time when country life Isolated women especially, and during the wluter or the busy season In the spring they might not get outside of the yard for weeks. Not so now. We all have our clubs and our so· clettes, and we are slaves to their demands. There Is Mason, tor In stance. He !s a professional man with marked athletic and religious tend enC'Ies. He has a family, but be be longs to things, as they do. Last week's program was possibly a little more congested than usual-possibly not.

The medical society met>t~ on Monday, the Rotary club on 'l'ue~ day, the City Commercial club m1 Wedr.esday, and so on throughout tlu· week. Noon or night he Is almost never at home.

[t Is so generally. We belong to so many things, we are so obsessed with social and professional and rellglou~ nnd political and other activities that we have little time to spend at home. We must be learning a tremendous amount, or doing a great deal of good. ''r possibly wasting our energies. At any rate we are not over-developing t.ome lnfluen<'es. Are we being clubbed to death? · (ll!). 1t211. Western Newspaper Union.) Mine Taxation Holds Future of Industry A lady wrote me a letter recently in which she asked, "What do you mean when you say one of the monkey wrenches in comiJ.lunity mac1unery is ·contemptuo..>us £ami1iadty '?' 1 understand," she continued, "what you mean by 'monkey wreuches,' but 1 doll't get this 'contemptuous familiarity.' " •·contemptuous familiarity" is the opposite of •·wide-awakefuiness." lt 1s the blindfold that keeps you from seeing, the ear muffs that keep you from bearing opportunity that is to the right, to the left, above and below you, right in Midvale. Whenever the civic clubs of your community perform a task for the good of it, it causes you to sa.y, "Well, they are supposed to do it, therefore they deserve no thanl{S for it." And when your newspaper editor takes up an issue vital to your weifare and the welfare of your neighbors you are moved to say, "He is paiu to do it- he has an axe to grind." When local business men say, "All we ask is a chance to serve :you," it causes you to say, "Why should we do them any favors; wnaL have they ever done for us?" It is that which puts the idea in your head that there is nothing for you in Midvale, and to be someLhing or do something you have to go elsewhere; that which causes you Lo feel Lhat it is not BIG enough for YOU, .vhen the truth of the matter is that chis town is just as big as YOU ~nake it. To be "contemptuously familiar" keeps you down, belittles you and beiittles Midvale, and causes all wideawake people who know of you, and with whom you come in contact, to reel sorry for and pity you. "Con"emptuous familiarity" is worse than ..L monkey wrench in the machinery -it is a disease, playing havoc with ~ommun.ities everywhere. You know the story of the man who moved away because it was such 1 nuisance to pick up the stones full :f little black lumps that littered his :'ield and hindered his plowing each ;pring. Today that field is the .n.rgest diamond mine in the world. Also the man who sold his farm because there was so much oily scum )n the creek the stock could not drink--today one of the country's finest oil fields. Both of these men were infected with "contemptuous familiarity." For years a pretty little stream of clear, pure water trickled from the side of a rock-walled hillside, within four blocks of the center of a community of some 5000 people. Hundreds of local <'itizens saw it every day, many passing it by, some stopping to drink of it. A !Otranger came one day, saw and dt'ank, but he did not pass. He is a millionaire today, through the sale of that water in bottles. Several hundred acres of swamp land overgrown with "worthless" willows were joyfully unloaded by local people onto a "sucker" who now is worth his weight in gold, through resale of the selfsame timber to a reed furniture manufacturer. Look around you. See, hear and recognize the advantages of Midvale. They are there if you will but take advantage of them. mine taxation, due to peculiarities •nnate in the industry, is a mystery to most people. Mines, unlike most other real estate, become less valuable as they are developed. Every ton of ore taken out of a mine makes it just that much less valuable. On the other hand every ton of crop taken off a properly managed farm adds to the value of the property. Mining must go forward if western states are to develop to the limit of their resources. In the past, through a general misunderstanding of the needs of the mining industry, laws have been passed detrimental, not only to the mines, but to the whole states. Mines should not be given special favors in the tax rate but it is only the part of wisdom to treat an industry which employs thousands of people and represents a major source of revenue for many states, with the utmost fairness. The stage is set in Utah for a drama that is of tremendous interest to the entire mining industry of the United States and, ilkewise, to every ;itizen who wishes to see our basic industries prograss. In November a special legislative tax committee is to present suggestions for creating a tax system that will be fair both to mines and to other industries in the tlQflo state.

These pictures were shown in connection with the woodwork eourses. Boys in woodwork are expected to know the regions that produce lumber; the metheds of cutting, hauling, and scaling wood; the wide variety of its uses; the sawing of it; the measuring of it, and how to figure its costs. The boys learned all this information from the pictures in a pleasant, d~finite way. , 'Thursday, October 31, 1929 ------------- MIDVALE ITEMS MEDVALE Mrs. T. C.
