MEMBER: Utah Stale Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, in advance $300 HEAVY LOAD, TOUGH GOING SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN The statements made by Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek and Queen Fredrika of Greece (which appear elsewhere on this page) mifeht well be the most important utterances of the week. They might have an impact which could extend ex-tend through half a century. Those two referred to what they believe to be great evils. Because the evils, if they be, are half a world away from us, we show little concern. But those evils may someday enslave us. In contemplating the genesis of World "War II one thinking man had the following to say : "How did evil get on the throne? Where were the good and the innocent those who knew the difference between be-tween good and evil, between the lie and the truth? Did they speak? Did they raise their voices? .... I mean the representatives of decency, of intelligence, of justice just-ice and religion. No, they were silent. They were silent in all languages. And I say the root of our present-day evil resides in ... . the abdication of the decent!" We ask the same question. Where are the good those who know the difference between good and evil, between the truth and the lie? Do they speak? Do they raise their voices against evil? Do the representatives of the decent, of the intelligent, of religion speak? Or are they silent in all languages ? Perhaps there are times when silence is not golden. hi yJJ-ASos &Y V " A Iflwir mm LIKE BAD PENNIES A pair of controversial matters, the zoning of State Street so as to force the concentration of business property prop-erty in Orem; and the re-naming of the city to. become. "Geneva", are like a pair of bad pennies. They return and return again to plague the peace of those who have the administration of the city in charge. Still beirtg circulated is a petition, already bearing upwards up-wards of 100 names, which asks the city council to take actio which will change the name of Orem to Geneva. And from 20th North to 20th South are those who believe it is not too late to centralize Orem business property in three definite localities as one answer to the fact that Orem residents don't shop in Orem. The controversy has led to some refreshing meetings and discussions. Perhaps there'll be more. Joy O. Clegg and Nora Harding whose birthdays occur-ed occur-ed during the week were honored hon-ored at a family dinner on Monday Mon-day evening at the Clegg home. Singing was enjoyed by the group following dinner. Present Keetch were released as teachers teach-ers in the Sunday School on Sunday, Mitchin " Tippin and S Susie Jepperson were sustained in their places.

This 'N That Ethyl Nielsen Hair A Request "GO THY WAY AND SIN NO : MORE" i Hi Folks, I've made a few resolutions that I certainly am going to try to keep remember, I said try . .When I see Wrong written in capital letters, across another's an-other's personality, I'm going to try to remember what the Savior Sav-ior said: "I do not condemn thee. Go, sin no more " I am asking such tolerance for myself. Jesus spoke the most sublime words ever recorded about life beyond the grave. He said, "Let not your heart be troubled, xe believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." Throughout this 1950 year I hope that I may have the gift of remembrancethe faith that our Lord, the Satior taught in his many teachings. And Jesus fed the body as well as the soul he realized that physical hunger is akin to 'soul thirst'. He spoke to the common people and they heard him gladly. "Love thy neighbor as thy self," is one of the hardest com' mandments given by the Master the very hardest to live up to Yet, even on the cross, He for gave the people who betrayed him. He prayed - "Lord forgive them, for they know not 'what they do". . . Perhaps I err in quoting His exact words, but you remember them, I am sure. Whatever your conception concerning the unique personality personal-ity of the person Jesus,' there is little room for doubt of His purpose and his spirit or of the good done while He was here upon this earth.

Scoop Blaki paid us a friendly call at the Clarion' t office last week and we were talking about when he was a reporter here. "Remember how mad I got when I found ont you were writing that election story right from your desk?" I asked him. "And how I made you get out and learn what a sheriff's job was all about?" "I sure do, Joe," said Scoop. "I want to thank you for teaching me the "hat-trick' putting on my hat and finding oat the facts, that is." Then wt both had a good laugh because he found out so much that darn if he didn't run and get elected sheriff himself I From where I sit, we should find out the facts before we try to talk about anything. When we do, we're inclined to be more tolerant . . . we're apt to understand a little more about the other fellow's preference pref-erence for, say, his political candidate candi-date or for a temperate glass of beer now and then. I say, if you don't want to get tripped up, don't leap to conclusions! To Shed Light on the World This Week THESE MEN HAD THIS TO SAY: "I beg, as a mother because queens are not supposed to beg for the return of the 28,000 Greek children living liv-ing in exile (in Communist dominated countries). The civilized world has remained silent too long." QUEEN FREDRICKA of Greece in a broadcast from the royal .palace last week. "Britian has bartered the soul of a nation for a few pieces of silver one day these pieces of silver will bear interest in British blood, sweat and tears on the battleground of freedom. Russia will never know one day of peace in China. Russia will never own China. China will remain free. ... It is either in your heart to love us, or your hearts have been turnd from us. It is either in your mind and your will to aid China in her struggle for liberty, or you have abandoned liberty." Mme. CHIANG KAI-SHEK, in her farewell to the United Unit-ed States on Sunday.

"Comics have been critized bitterly, and also, defended, but there is no. more reason to link the comic magazine causatively with juvenile waywardness and crime than to the movies, the radio, or the more sensational and erotic er-otic literature of the day."
