The seriousness of the problem was dramatized for us this week when we learned for a certainty that one Orem woman was regularly taking a jug to Proyo in order to bring back from there some water to drink. Only occasionally has the water seemed definitely unpalatable to us, but it has often enough so that we can see the humor in the current quip: "I believe there is not enough water in this chlorine we're drinking.' We feel certain that there is no necessity for Orem water to be less palatable than Provo water it come,s from the same place. We're equally certain that the treating of Orem water to preclude its carrying pathogenic patho-genic bacteria can be done as skillfully here as it is done elsewhere. We also feel that Orem people have been patient long enough, and we hope that very soon Orem's city water wa-ter may begin to earn the reputation for palatability which several other Utah county cities enjoy. NO ATOMIC ALIBI Personal character is the first essential for social -usefulness. We tire of the effort to refine and strengthen strength-en our own, and seek to justify and dignify our failure. So we point to the atomic bomb. If humanity is at the supreme crisis! if unless atomic war is prevented it will perish or shrink to savagery, why give attention to slow character building? While the house is on fire, do we train children in deportment? Crisis, as an excuse for not mastering ourselves, is as old as the human race. The atomic alibi is but its latest form. The way to social usefulness has not changed chang-ed Miracles in social progress do not happen. Every step must be paid for in advance by building the qualities of individual personality which will sustain a better social order. The atomic age will not change that fact. Crisis is always with its, and always is an excuse for evading the basic process of civilization: the refining, mastering, and developing of our own lives and intimate intim-ate social relationships. Were the present alibi to disappear, disap-pear, another would be found. Fifty years ago the monster, Monopoly, menaced freedom. free-dom. In such a towering crisis, how trivial seemed a concern about moral laxity. Then came the First World War. Before the menace of the Kaiser's hordes, who would be so inept as to direct attention to personal and social refinement? Men who shirked self-mastery found status and dignity in battle and bond drives. In the prosperous twenties, it seemed that character had been overrated. Who but a Puritan killjoy would drag in ethics? In the great depression, concern for personal character would not create millions of jobs. Social action was the thing, and sometimes in disregard of the means employed. Came Pearl Harbor, and only meeting this crisis was important. The army indulged any conduct not directly menacing its war aims. Emphasis Em-phasis on personal character might have impeded the war effort. .... Today in America, selfishness, dishonesty, indulgence, indulg-ence, and ill will cut American vit?lity to a'half to a quarter, of what it might be. They darken the future. Our personal character determines not only what we do but how we do it. The great comnlaint against Russia Rus-sia is not communal living but her way of getting it European reservations about America spring largely f rom traits they have sen in Americans. Character determines de-termines destiny. Regardless of crisis, we finally must come back to that starting point.

I hope it doesn't happen to you ... the bills I mean. In any event, if you are possessed with the mountain fever, let me suggest that you go "deer huntin' " . . that would bo killing two stones with one bird. Oh, my, I'm all twisted twist-ed up, I'm so ravished at the beauty of the mountains.

I Met the Nicest Lady I met the nicest lady the other day ... she was from England Eng-land and she was ravished at the beauty of our mountains- I shouldhave liked to spend a whole week with her listening to her version of the American eal and our bounteous land.

As for America, we lake it pretty much for granted A nipp nlaee. vah but taxes and nasty old politicians, etc. One more word about the English Eng-lish Lady: she could charm a bird off its perch.
