Husbands and wives talk of the cares of matrimony, and bachelors bach-elors and spinsters bear them.- W. Collins. Passing of A.O. Smoot Down the Ion?, time-worn trail, over which millions pass, but meet no one returning, another well known son of Utah has gone, leaving a good name and record by which to remember him. Owen Smoot has passed on, but his memory will live on among his friends in the community where he labored and in whose service he gave the best years of his life. Few men in the history of Utah county have been more widely known or had more friends than Owen Smoot. Through his long service in public life, church and state, he became acquainted with thousands of people in all walks of life who valued his friendship highly. Endowed with a rare gift of leadership through a long line of illustrious forbears on both his father's and mother's side, he had long since won prominence in business, civic and social circles. Few men are called upon to serve the public in as many fields of endeavor as he did. After filling a mission for hi' church he was called to service on the school board, where he made an impression through his untiring efforts in behalf of the children of the community. Later on he served as postmaster, then county commissioner, commis-sioner, and crowned his public career with a term as mayor of his native city. Owen Smoot worked hard in public office and at no time did he spare himself. It was while he served as mayor that his health broke down as a result of his too constant application appli-cation to the problems and duties of the office. The breakdown break-down which he suffered at that time, finally resulted in his death, according to physicians. Although he was cautioned to take care of himself, he responded to the last whenever a demand was made on him for service. The community can ill afford to lose a citizen of Owen Smoot's type. He gave freely of his time and energy to a wide variety of activities. He served his church in all the auxiliary organizations at one time or another. He was chairman of the Old Folks committee and directed scores of entertainments to gladden the hearts of the aged. He distinguished dis-tinguished himself in Seventies' quorum service for many years, lis was devoted to the Boy Scout cause and rendered yoernah service for many years as chairman of the Court of Honorl, Owen Smoot's character and personality won him a host Df friends. With these the Herald joins in extending deep .sympathy to the bereaved family. Of him well may it be said: He has fought a good fight; he has finished his course; he has kept the faith. Step Toward "Big" News One of the most important events of 1937, from the standpoint of the well-being of the masses, may have been recorded modestly the other day when Dr. Edward Carl Rosenow of the Mayo Clinic announced that he had isolated the germ which causes infantile paralysis. In itself, that may not mean much. Its insignificance lies in fhe fact that it javes the way for the development of a serum to cure or prevent this dreaded malady. It is the first step and a long, promising one toward conquest of one of the scourges of the human race. It is sometimes hard to tell what the really "big news" of the day is. Our attention is engrossed with wars and rumors of wars, with strikes and statistics of recovery, and with similar momentous matters. But from the viewpoint of history, the biggest news of 1):;7 may well be the work of this unassuming western scientist. Life-Saving A good deal of rat ho r loose talk has been induIcreH in lately about the vast expense to which the U. S. government was put in its search for Amelia Earhart. The estimates seemed to start at $200,000 or thereabouts and go on up. depending on tne enthusiasm ot the estimator. aw it is perfectly true that it costs money to send ships like the Colorado and the Lexington off on a cruise. They have large crews and the crews are well paid. The searching planes burned a good you could make quite a bill out But the thing to remember expense wouia nave gone on even it there had been no search at all. The Colorado, the Lexington, and the other warships were in commission ; they would not have been laid up, their fires drawn and their crews paid off. if Miss Earhart had not been lq,st. A great deal of money was spent on the search, but all but a few dollars of it would have been spent anyway, in ordinary naval routine. UDEVEIL0IPII1SJ EE3ILAI&(SIO TWICE A DAY SERVICE ON FILMS!

CARROLL I was thinking of a few terse lines of a Japanese poem: 'My old self. Whispers from behind me. 'There is danger ahead!' Mv young self cries: On! On!" Impulses of Life- How those words typify two great impulses of life! well-being of the individual the The and of society rests upon a proper balance between caution, learned by experience, and eagerness "to strive, to seek, to find." With only caution there would be stagnation. stagna-tion. With only a restless, undirected, un-directed, unrestrained moving ahead there would be inevitable destruction. The pull between these two innate in-nate forces in human life is evi-danced evi-danced all about us in the farmer's farm-er's quandary over whether to borrow bor-row money to add another quarter section to his land, or to let well enough alone; in the housewife's house-wife's hesitation over going in debt for the renovation of the living room and the purchase of a few pieces of good furniture, or living on in an environment that lacks the element of beauty her own soul craves and which she longs to give to her family; in the present political controversy over the supreme court issue. No matter where one turns he is confronted con-fronted by the problem of how far to go in some action. How Far to Go The farmer may restrict his own possibilities and doom his posterity by listening entirely either to his "old self" or to his "young self." So the housewife may find destruction by a lack of judgment; so may the nation. "Be not the first by whom the new is tried Nor yet the last to lay the old aside," Advised Pope. On its face that is good advice, and yet if some one did not have the courage to be the first, where would the progress of the world be? If there were no Edisons, no Pas-teurs, Pas-teurs, no Lindberghs we would lack much that makes life glorious glori-ous today. But if there were only these adventurers into the various vari-ous realms of the unknown without with-out the conservatives who help make the most daring dreams realities by their very caution, the world would lack the stability, the enduring elements that give assurance and confidence to existence. exist-ence. Judgment is wnat we most need to cultivate power to know just how far to go in the various directions direc-tions our bodies, minds and spirits lead us. For ages men have been prone to charge their sufferings and deficiencies de-ficiencies to the anger of tke gods or to the inscrutable purposes of providence, or to the will of the Lord. In reality the ills as well as the blessings of the race are the result of man's own thinking and doing. Happiness Is Possible-Man Possible-Man is meant for happiness and happiness is within his reach. Joy, pleasure, peace are the results re-sults of right action growing from right thinking, and that depends de-pends largely upon finding a harmony har-mony between the "old self" j wnicn continuously cautions and inhibits, and the "young self" which would rush on impulsively with no restraints. Moderation, balance these are our individual, our country's needs. Birthdays Sunday, July 18 DR. FRED W. TAYLOR THEO T. TAYLOR A. E.

It would be too bad if anything any-thing like a serious argument arose over fishing rights in Alaskan Alas-kan waters; but there must be an understanding soon or an international in-ternational misunderstanding is all too possible. A new fishing technique in which large ships literally comb the ocean floor with powerful nets, decimatng tne ranks of the food fish and making fertilizer- of all other parts of their catch, is threatening the continuity con-tinuity of the valuable salmon runs and halibut catches in Alaskan Alas-kan waters. Japanese floating canneries and fertilizer boats follow the nets, and great is the havoc wrought with vital food resources that have been the exclusive property of the United States for many decades. The Bristol u bay area, rich in fish of all kinds, is the spot that lures Japanese floating canneries canner-ies and fishing vessels of other nations. Big fishing craft have been known to come as far as from the British Isles, thru the Panama canal and up the long coastline to Alaska, for a summer of fishing on those American fishing fish-ing banks.

CHAPTER XV ()N Tuesday evening, Bob had dinner with Mr. Hendry in Green Hills. After dinner, they went into the living room, and there in front of the fire, they talked. "I suppose I might ask you what you'd like for a wedding present," Mr. Hendry suggested, eventually. Bob looked perplexed. "That's nice of you, J. H.," he said, a trifle shyly, "but I can't think of anything. Perhaps if you asked Joan" Hendry puffed on his cigar quiejly for a moment, before saying: say-ing: "I did something else for Joan today, though I'd rather she didn't know it. Might as well tell you, however. I changed my will." Bob looked at him in amazement. amaze-ment. "What's that, sir?" "I made a hew wilL Left a third to Joan." TJOB searched for words appropriate appro-priate to answer this surprising surpris-ing announcement. "But, Mr. Hendry," he said finally, "that's a pretty big thing to do. It seems too much, somehow. some-how. You know how I'm fixed. You've done enough for me so that I can always take care of her. Amply, I think." Hendry nodded. "I know you can, Bob," he agreed. "But it gives me a certain cer-tain pleasure to do this." "It's fine of you, of course . . The older man looked into the fire for a moment, recalling past dreams . . . When he spoke, there was a tender sadness in his words: "I loved a girl once," he told Bob. "And every time I look at your Joan, I see my Nancy in her. Thirty years ago I brought her to this house . . . she didn't live very long afterward. There were many things I might have given her, but we had very little money in those days. Sybil and Philip are well provided for as it is; they'll have more when I'm gone. But if Nancy had lived, we might liams, Mrs. Ruth Brockbank, Mrs. Lena Webb, Iir Maud Lewis, Mrs. LaVieve Cornaby, Mrs. Ann Siler, Mrs. Olive Thorpe, Mrs. Beatrice Booth and Mrs. Icabinda Sorenson. During the meeting the reports from the following officers were read and accepted: President and secretary, treasurer's, historian's, and unit activity chairman. In the absence of the president because of illness, Mrs. Marie Nelson presided pre-sided at the meeting. The regular opening and closing ritual was observed. -f, A. !2aa2 Cm nsa sbkicmc have had a daughter like Joan. That's why 14 like to do something some-thing for her. Jt's no reflection on you, my boy." "I understand, sir" Bob replied quietly, and his voice was husky with emotion. "There's one thing more. Vd like Joan to have this house. Oh, I know you have your heart set on a fine place upon your hilltop. You can have that, too. But this place is very dear to me. It's it's a sort of shrine, I guess you might say, to Nancy.

After that, well, let her rent it out to some young couple who would appreciate it not for the money, but more for the happiness hap-piness they might find here." "Joan would do that," Bob assured as-sured him. He was a little overcome. over-come. That Mr. Hendry had liked and admired Joan, he knew well enough, but never to so great an extent as this! AS soon as he could trust his voice to be light, he added: "Suppose you plan to live here until our children are married this would be a fine place to start them out!" Hendry chuckled. "That's the idea! I never thought of that. Well, I might as well toll you, I'm counting on another 20 years at least. Don't let my little talk fool you . . . Bless my soul!" He slapped his thigh vigorously: "When I look at Charley Norton, after all these years well, tell me now, would you ever think that fellow was 64 years old?" Bob raised an eyebrow in surprise. sur-prise. "Sixty-four, is he? No, I certainly would never have guessed it." Hendry took another cigar from the box on the table and bit off the end. He stared at it meditatively medita-tively before starting to light it. "Yes, sir. Bob, Charley's a great fellow. We prospected together, out in the Sierra Madres, some 40 years ago, I dare say. Yes, sir, we were kids at the time. Couldn't have been more than 20, myself. And Charley's a year or two older, if anything. He was a great pal. Saved my life, once, too." "He did? Bob looked up in interest, in-terest, a little taken back to discover dis-cover this new angle to Norton's character. "In what way?" 64TT was somewhere south of Placerville.

But we had our fun out of it Charley and I. There was another fellow, too, Jerry Jordan. The three of us roamed the mountains of California Cali-fornia together for nearly 10 years."

Made quite a bit of money, Jerry did, and he had a nice little business. This fellow was his confidential assistant. assist-ant. One day some easy money came through the office, and I guess it was too much for him. He shot Jordan. Shot him in the back." Bob frowned. "They got him later?" "Yes, they got him, all right." Bob stared into the fire, shaking shak-ing his head. "Imagine a rat like that, can you? Shooting a man in the back. And for a few paltry dollars!
