The Juab high school started oflt their season's playing last Friday evening at Payson, and only by their fine pitching on foul tries, did ithey win the game. They will have the advantage of the home floor this week, and with the backing of a large crowd of Nephi boosters, they are confident that they can carry the heavy end of the scoring.

' Farmers Asked To Submit Problems For Discussion at Meetings What's in a name? An age old saying has it that a rose would smell as sweet by another name and give as much pleasure through radiating its beauty to all who have time to stop and observe. Most people will agree this is true. Now for the sake of argument and to leftrn by contrast, let's take another case just as common to our daily lives. There is plenty of rnetoric in the title "Programs of Progress". Uncanny skill was displayed by the men who coined the name expressing what these meetings were originally planned for. But, to adhere to the standards of scientific exactness might It not be Just as well to call them and leave the "of "Programs" Progress" off? Attendance at these meetings last year was so low it is certain very little was accomplished, because nothing definite was planned there and no project begun. Anything of benefit to Juab County must come through cooperation of ail its citizens. 1 he few who came out a year ago did not represent enough manpower to carry the load. Their enthusiasm was chilled and It is doubtful if they felt their efforts would be appreciated or even wanted, had they gone to work. A well known geologist in the state has said, 'Nephi people and the residents of East Juab County have discussed their Irrigation problems, have recognized lack of water as being one of the weaknesses of their farming set-ufor more than 50 years, but they HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. They have rocklined no ditches, flumed no water, never checked on the misuse of the flow of the streams, have never demanded closer regulation of the use of the vegetative cover of the water sheds or prevented the clogging of their ditches by weeds of nature and the junk and refuse of man. "Some city streets receive more Irrigation than gardens. Some" of the country lanes become mile long mud wallows. Through accident? Yes, once In a while but most generally through rank neglect. Yet the laws of the state say that to retain the right of ownership of water It must be put to beneficial use. So we come to the question, have these people who deliberately waste water the right to continue In IU ownership and control? Programs of Progress do not hope to answer so profound a legal question, but if we would all get together at these meetings and talk things over In a sane, sound manner we might progress a little In our Irrigation methods and practices and In the use and conservation of what water is available p, to us. And, If we would all get together and talk over some of our other community and personal problems in much the same manner we at their solution In direct and sudden way. Where is a better place than at these gatherings which are planned for this purpose and held yearly at a time when all can might arrive Just as attend? This year nothing Is going to be said about water. The descriptions and appeals on this subject have been exhausted long ago. What we need from here out Is action, not "dry" water oratory. In fact there won't even be a Continued on Page Eight 20th Century Club Members Are Guests at Glazier Home The 20th Century Club held their meeting at the home of Mrs. C. W.
