Battle . What a helpless, weak kneed dependent group of individuals we Americans have become! Gone, for the moat part are our desire, willingness and determination to do things for ourselves without help. And worse still, we have developed the pernicious habit of passing the buck, when confronted confront-ed with our own deficiencies. Here's a case in point: . On one evening last week in Pleasant Grove City hall, members mem-bers of the Utah State Welfare Commission were confronted with several accusations to-wit r That ' the Juvenile Courts, working under un-der the supervision of the Welfare Wel-fare Commission, were tardy, lax and uncooperative in dealing with the growing Juvenile delinquency problems- The accusers were the Mayors and Chiefs of Police of North Utah County communities Before a third of the instances ,had been related, the spokesman for the Commission took the floor. He .explained that the courts needed more probation officers and more tax money with which to do a satisfactory job. Such buck-passing alibis are all too prevalent these days. We have acquired the erroneous opinion opin-ion that the best, And often the only way to solve the social problems prob-lems that confront us, -is to spend more money. years. There are the Junior, the Senior and the BYU brackets. Winners of each will qualify for the all-church tournament to be held in Salt Lake City Feb. 25. Play will begin Monday, Feb. 4, in Orem and American Fork High School gymnasiums. Dates of the tournament will be Feb. 4, 5. 7, 11, 12, 13 and 14. The Junior and BYU brackets will be held in the Orem High School, and the Seniors will be in American Amer-ican Fork with all the final games in American Fork High School. There will be a pre-tournament meeting held Sunday, Feb. 3 at 3 pjn. in the Second-Fourth Ward Chapel, for all stake athletic .directors, .dir-ectors, team coaches, managers and at least one team member. Season tickets are available for wards to sell. These tickets can be obtained by seeing Blake Fordham Ford-ham or Bill Holman. According to Jim Bezzant, Stake MIA activity assistant, teams representing Timpano gos Stake will be Grove and Third Wards in the Senior division and Manila Ward in the Junior division divi-sion and as yet the other entry has not been determined. "We would like to encourage all stake members to come- and support the representatives of our stake," Mr. Bezzant said. . Seminary Students Attend Convention At BYU on Jan. 24 One of the nicest affairs for the Seminary Church History and Fourth Year Book of Mormon students was the Inter-Seminary' convention which was held Thursday, Thurs-day, Jan. 24, at the BYU... : Members of Seminaries from Lehi, American Fork, Heber and Pleasant Grove attended. A program from the university was presented to the students after af-ter which they participated in a testimony meeting. Hal Taylor, , coordinator for central Utah dis trict seminaries conducted and refreshments were served afterwards after-wards by the Delta Phis. ITS'- Greek BrK.a - The idea, that perhaps the Juvenile Ju-venile courts could do a better Job with the money and manpower man-power they already have, did not seem to be pertinent at the time. "To do a better Job, spend more money, of course." Such a fallacious doctrine la preached every day by state and federal - governmental agencies. Even President Kennedy himself, states that he wants to raise the national economy by spending more federal funds. Also, he hopes to get the extra money, over a period of years, by cutting income in-come taxes now. . It's a vicious cycle, any way you look at it. "Spend money you do not have and get into debt And then spend more imoney,. you do not have, to order to get out." All this has another negative angle. Instead of finding ways to do a better job with the money mon-ey " they now have, politicians spend most of their time and energy en-ergy in devising methods of getting get-ting more dollars with which to do an increasingly more wasteful and inefficient job. , If. the pioneer founders of Utah's Mormon communities had been imbued with such a weak and irresponsible attitude, the conquest of' the western wilderness wilder-ness would have been delayed many years. So long 'til Thursday. C of C Banquet Date Set for Saturday, Feb. 16 The annual Chamber of Commerce Com-merce banquet has been sot for Saturday evening:, Feb. 16 at a time and place to be announced later, according to Ekkm Johnson, John-son, president. , Featured will be the traditional dinner for members and their partners, the naming of the honorary hon-orary Life Member, the reading of the annual report and the announcement of the results of the recent "vote by mall" election elec-tion of members to the board of directors.
