Show rovo Extends ' ILeadersMp Visitor Once again Provo will serve as host for thousands of people who will come here during the week for a dip into the joys of adult education educa-tion at its best. Brigham Young university has provided approximately 200 courses, to be taught by the outstandtng experts available in the various fields, and has issued far and wide an invitation to adults to come and partake of the intellectual and spiritual banquet free of charge. That thousands will respond despite the cold weather, which is expected to abate according to weather forecasts, there is no doubt To that vast assemblage as-semblage Provo and her people will serve as hosts. Though those who come in for work in the various departments will be kept busy on the campus, without doubt many will find time to visit our merchants and professional men. They will be frequenters of our streets and of our cafes and restaurants and places of amusement. It is an opportunity for those of the city to ex- hibit that friendly sffirit for which the university and the city are justly famous and proud. Many a family that has come in to Leadership Leader-ship week has been so pleased with what it found here, that Provo was made a permanent place of residence thereafter. We wish to compliment the university upon its great program which has attracted people for fifteen years and to welcome those who come here to dip with their Sons and daughters into the intriguing fountains of modern education. If this institution can serve in any way to make the . week brighter and better, be assured it will be ready to respond. As a convenience to those who have the paper available, we plan to run each day's program pro-gram on the evening previous. Thereby, our Dwn subscribers as well as the visitors within our gates will have an opportunity to make selection of the courses each day which they would like to enjoy. Provo is host for a week to a special group of people. May she prove gracious and kindly and thoughtful of her guests.

Meanwhile, good word was received re-ceived from Representative J. Will Robinson at Washington, D. C, relative to a livestock feed appropriation appro-priation according to a United Press bulletin. In a telegram to Governor Henry Hen-ry H.

Livestock men received the news encouragingly, for as a record-smashing record-smashing cold wave continued into its seventh day Saturday, they faced financial ruin unless aid was given.

The triumph gave the Sons of Brigham a clean sweep of the two-game series with the Bobcats. Victory for B. Y. U. came only after an extra period of desperate playing. Earl Giles, who again led the scoring, sank a foul toss with less than 30 seconds to go in the regular playing period, tying ty-ing the score 34-34. As the extra 5-minute period began, Albert Zupan, reserve Bobcat Bob-cat forward, split the strings from the side to give his team a temporary tem-porary lead. Charley Roberts, sophomore so-phomore guard then dashed down the floor to score two precious goals that rocketed the Cougars ahead. Giles clinched the decision by tanking a set-up before leaving the game on fouls. Jack Chris-tensen, Chris-tensen, also scored before the extra period ended. Marlow Turpin, Cougar captain, played one of the most sterling games of his career. He was really real-ly "on' 'as he peppered the hoop for 14 points, only 2 less than Giles made.
