I lihprtv and lustlce. not for one but the privilege of all merr blessed by the rights of American citizens. Sometimes we fall to consider the significance of the day in our more natural desire to consider how and where to spend it. As isolated as some folks may be In regard to habitation habi-tation they cannot be unaware of the strife and distress In the majority of nations due to fights for liberty and civil rights. Many of our own people at one time called these nations their home. We live In the shadow o? a tri-colored flag beset with stars and realize the meaning of democracy. We have the privilege of developing our intelligence and our business. We pray to keep our homes, our churches and schools, public welfare institutions, and our God-given Tight the ballot-box, all of these going to make up our measure of freedom. The Fourth of July, the birthday of the greatest nation In the world! History shows us that there is a constant struggle on the part of millions of men and women merely for a right to earn a decent living. Of course we have national na-tional problems and there are discrepen-cies discrepen-cies in government we may criticise, but that always holds true In matters of state. There are certain rights we maintain main-tain through the Declaration of Inde-unnrionpo Inde-unnrionpo tiat. nrp iinrnipstlnnable and nill hp sunnortfid bv all of us who call I this nation home.

A stop at Las Vegas for dinner; then on to the Beaver Dam Lodge, on the Arizona strip, where the night was spent. SEVERAL HOURS were spent at St. George Saturday morning, where Mr. Firmage recently opened an attractive place of business.

This theater is modern in every detail, and equipped with the very latest motion mo-tion picture equipment. Its seating capacity is 400 and is perfect in every detail. AND THEN home and back to work with happy memories galore. DISTRESSING NEWS THE ONLY cloud to mar the pleasure and to bring sadness and sincere regrets to the entire party, descended after Machine the home of Dr. L. H. Raddon at Alhambra on Tuesday, June 21st. First came sad news of the passing on of w. A. Raddon's son-in-law. Paul F. Purdum, whose funeral services were be ing held ln Los Angeles that day. Then came the telephone to Dr. Raddon, from w. Leo Shields, at Glendale, California, giving the distressing news of. his be loved sister.

THE NEWS of the passing of Mr. Purdum came as a distinct shock, because be-cause the last we had seen or heard of him, he was in perfect health, and no word had come to us of his brief illness. His death and burial was hard to realize real-ize and our heartfelt sympathy went out to his bereaved widow and children, and to the mother and other sorrowing relatives. MISS SUSANNAH SHTELDS WHILE WE all were familiar with the long illness and patient suffering of Miss Shlelds the news of her death was re- ceived with sorrow and regret. We had, known Miss Susie since her young girl- hood, durins her school davs: retoiced. at her graduation from the Park City High school; admired her splendid young womanhood; her laudable efforts in civic affairs of our city; her pleasing and competent service as city recorder, and her cheerful activities in political and social affairs for many years. Always of a genial, happy disposition, she made friends with all whom she came in coa tact, and was beloved because of her! many high qualifications and laudable ambitions. It was the sincere regret of the entire community when the lady was stneken with an ailment that con- fined her permanently at her home- more than two years ago. Her activities! were missed by her many close friends and admirers. A faithful Christian wo- . j o im-ahi friend was Miss Susie It was J. G. Holland who once said: "Faith draws the poison from every grief, takes the sting from every loss, and quenches the fire of every pain; and only faith can do it." Miss Susie possessed that faith.

Rector, drove his car into the new electric gasoline pump at the Central Auto Service station in this city. The pump was torn from the bolts and pipes to which it was installed; instal-led; and the driver then proceeded to drag it down Main street by the gasoline gaso-line hose that had entangled with the bumper of his car. The fact that the pump finally became be-came lodged in the gutter on the opposite op-posite Bide of the street, and was still attached to his car by means of the hose, made It necessary for the driver to stop. The undersigned, being an eye witness of the incident (and also owner of the damaged machine,) approached the driver driv-er for an explanation, only to find him too befuddled to speak intelligibly. The night patrolman, Mr. Greenwood, was called and the visitor's tottering steps were guided toward the police-car, where, after considerable lifting and coaxing, he was deposited for the trip to the city jail and a night's lodging there The car involved was left at the writer's place for storage, by the night patrolman. Part of the contents of the vehicle was the stranger's woman-companion. For more than an hour this gentle (?) creature honked the car-horn; car-horn; demanded the keys to the car; screamed loudly that she was "so and so's" relative and couldn't be treated this way; hung hazardously from the car window; etc., etc. Persuasion was useless use-less in trying to get her to leave. She couldn't understand. This was long after midnight, and the undersigned was finally forced to again call the night patrolman and ask that ! this woman be arrested, at least for dls- turblng the peace. . That was "headache" enough for one evening; but the outcome of it all is oy iar the biggest "headache" for the writer The woman was not arrested, nor any complaint lodged against her.

How can such mishandling of these matters be tolerated ln this commun ity? Are the mayor and police officers anxious anxi-ous to encourage this type of visitor to our city? The important consideration in cases like this is the security of human life and property under the protection of the law enforcement officers. This is most certainly hazardous when such cases are settled and charges reduced without consulting the eye-witnesses, or an endeavor made to mete out Justice. JOHN P. TURNER.

James Stewart has changed the age-old age-old belief that "character actor" means an old man. Still in his early twenties, Stewart has portrayed aa many character roles as the veterans, all in hla three screen years. This la true of his stage career as well. When he portrayed tha role of Mike O'Hara in "Yellow Jack" on the New York stage, the critics wrote that here was a young romantic leading man who was equally at home in character roles. After Bigning him Metro-Goldyn-May-er decided to test his character ability. Hla first role was In a short subject. "Important News," which starred the late Charles "Chick." Sale. Stewart wore glasses, let his hair hang in his face and "went to town." In "After the Thin Man," he became a killer with a morbid, twisted mind. When he was first mentioned, the studio executives felt It was impossible for a youth to put over such a dramatic characterization. char-acterization. Jimmy fooled them again by getting raves from the critics and praise from the public. He added another gold star to his character work In "Rose-Marie" as the outcast brother of Jeanette MacDonald. "Small Town Girl" displayed Stewart as a timid lineman. In "Born to Dance," he went through another test. Could he switch from character portrayals to romantic leads? e could, and did with ease, His latest film is "Shopworn Angel" here he is combining both romantic wrk with character acting. DEPARTMENT OF THIS AND THAT At the time of this writing the Salt Lake Tribune and Telegram editorial rooms are all agog about wnetner Snlriey Tempie ia ln towrii and wnere? Ir x wer running the paper I'd give the Temples tnelr wisn no publicity. Maybe they re auy wt none, but i doubt it Another mistake they made here Is having Deanna Durbln appear in the tabernacle. She should have had the University stadium which seats about 25,000, Merle Thorpe, the economist and editor, Is also on the program but no one knows it except the bankers, and I'll bet they'll have to bar the doors to keep the crowd in If he follows Deanna. Not that Thorpe isn't a good speaker, maybe he is, I wouldn't know about that, but If his talks are as dry as his editorials, you may have my share of them. When you read this I will be in Hollywood Holly-wood gathering first-hand material. This should be a very interesting trip because all of the studios are reported as exceptionally ex-ceptionally busy. Twenticth-Century-Fox, among other things, are casting for the madcap Rltz Brothers' next starring vehicle, "Straight, Place and Show," a rollicking race track story written by Damon Runyon and Irving Caesar. The Ritz Brothers are my favorite nut comedians. com-edians. I know them personally and they're swell guys. Deanna Durbln should be starting work on her new picture, "That Certain Age." I have met her but have never been fortunate enough to be ln Holly- , Wood while she was making a picture.
