Power Battle Nearly Over The great trial, Provo City vs. Utah Power and Light Company, is drawing to a close. . 1 Both sides in the bitterly fought municipal power and franchise controversy have-jhad their day in -tiourt as the battle has raged on for several years at the bar of public opinion. ' -' A seemingly endless array of facts and" figures, sometimes some-times termed "propaganda" by the opposite group, has been hurled in an increasing tempo with the approach of.the finale. Voluminous testimony has been placed in the record during the progress of the case. "Experts" and numerous witnesses have been paraded across the stage before the great jury as the issues in the case have been argued pro and con. It's little wondei-ihat some people have -complained of being slightly dizzy at times as broadsides have been hurled back and forth y the opposing factions. : j Now, the evidence is practically all in."3Ql that remains is the closing arguments to the jury as spokesmen for the contending parties prepare to .make thenv final oratorical efforts in the closing moments of the trial.' At an early hour Tuesday, the case will be placed in the hands'of the jury, the voters of Provo, who will record their "yes" or "no," as the case may be, at the polls during the day. By nightfall, the verdict will be brought in, recording the collective mind of the citizenry of Proved for better, or for worse. ' - M .' , V- --: ' . The issues of-4he campaign have been fought out in typical American fashion. And by the same token, the verdict verd-ict at the polls should be accepted in the same way. Regardless of the outcome it behooves us ail to bury the hatchet and forget all the emotion and feelings engendered engen-dered during the campaign; and pull together for a greater Provo ariead. This writer is not alarmed because of the hue and cry raised at the wailing wall that Provo is headed for the bow-wows unless we vote this way or that way. Scores of great American cities have gone through similar controversies contro-versies to emerge none the worse for the experience, regardless regard-less of the outcome. , ; . (:'' '- There are no apologies to offer for the part played by this newspaper in the controversy. From the; very beginning begin-ning the Herald has taken the stand that there are two sides to every question, this one included. Not wishing to insult the intelligence of the Provo electorate, 'we have not at any time presumed to advise the voters frovvto cast their ballots. We have held all alongnhrttrttrcr citizens of this community com-munity are perfectly able to make up their own minds on this important question after they have had an opportunity to hear all the facts in the case. - To this end wc have attempted to let both sides be heard, in keeping with the democratic system of a free press and free speech. It hasn't by any means been an easy or a thankful task. . -. --: ' In times like these when feeling runs high, there is a greater need for tolerance and charity for our neighbors who may, strive at a different conclusion than our own. Some-timetjie Some-timetjie picture looks different through a different pair of eyes-tfian our own. The instinct of self-preservation is still strongly rooted in the human element. lake the primitive man, most of us still decide questions that confront us from the standpoint of "how will it affect me and my family?" Obviously, the answer can't be the same in every case. Above all, it, is important that the verdict recorded at the polls Tuesday be a truly representative verdict, with all the qualified electors participating. Judging from the activity ac-tivity displayed by both organizations in getting out the vote, there is little danger ort this point, although no good citizen stays away from the polls because election workers fail to contact him. . ., ' v. M. .' - rT"" - ; . By the way, 'don't forget that we also have to vote for a mayor, a city commissioner, and a city auditor? There are six candidates in the field, Mayor Mark Anderson and Alma Van Wagenen, for mayor; City Commissioner J. P. McGuire and John W. McAdam for city commissioners ; City Auditor Mary FASmith and Ralph Elliott for city auditor. v Labor Harmony Is Possible Big wigs in both of America's labor organizations might take-a lesson from what C. I. O. and A. F. of L. local councils have brought about in Granite City, 111., just across the river from St. Louis. v Granite City has about 25,000 citizens who work chiefly in steel foundries, rolling mills, syrup factories. Unionists there were, having the same trouble as their parent bodies, until leaders in both local groups realized neither the C. I. O. nor. the A. P. of L. union was getting anywhere. Instead of pressing their battle, union men'got together and decided to call a halt to union warfare. ? Now Granite City union leaders of both organizations are conducting a drive to unionize Granite. City 100 per cent. Applicants may join either union without coercion. The Granite City unionists did nothing their national bodies can't do. The harmony the local councils achieved involves nothing more serious than sitting around a table with each side kicking in a few points here and there. Perhaps, Per-haps, when a few pore local union councils negotiate truces, the parent bodies will discover labor harmony is a much sounder idea generally than the present state 'of warfare.

Among the fears confessed by my students are grasshoppers, mice, rats, spiders, dogs, horses, snake3, bugs, thunder and lightning, darkness, dark-ness, high- places, water, edf-running edf-running elevators, electricity, sharp objects) rubber bands. Some are afraid to meet strangers, afraid of doctors, of dark com-plexioned com-plexioned people, of dead people. Sill others listed as their greatest great-est fear that of falling, or stumbling, stumbl-ing, of stuttering, of failing, of being laughed at, of losing mem ory, of being misunderstood. The efforts of those students to analyze . their fears to try to recall re-call the incident or circumstance which first roused the fear was interesting in-teresting and revealing. Their comments showed how impressionable impression-able the, mind is particularly in childhood and how difficult it is to change an attitude when once it has been formed. - One student said, "It seems foolish to have to suffer over something so trivial as these things we've been talking about. But we do suffer. At rr least I do -I believe Fd rather be eaten by a bear than touch-ed touch-ed by a spider." Fear, according to- psychologists, psycholo-gists, has a demoralizing and paralyzing side. It upsets the mind and body, leading to failure fail-ure in any undertaking or responsibility. re-sponsibility. "When fear becomes chronic," one psychologist states "it destroys happiness, invites I t-ajn.f.C Ham onr) 1ai1o -a Hicocfai Many parents let the fear that their children will cease to love them, and perhaps leave home, keep, them from. using disciplinary measures which would save their children, and which would in all likelihood make them have greater respect and love for their parents. On the. other hand many children suffer and are Handicapped in many ways by fear of their parents par-ents fear ot confessing wrongs doings because they think the parents will nol understand, that they will be too harsh and unforgiving. un-forgiving.

He could no longer endure the torture tor-ture of it. Fear is as destructive to communities to nations as it is to Individuals. Lord Bacon Ba-con declared Iliac "nothing is to be feared more than tear itself." Another great writer . ; says that, "lie who loses wealth, loses much; he who loses frien-s, ;oses more; but he that loses courage, loses all." Now is a . time when everyone needs courage. He needs courage to remain , calm - and clear-headed in a time of stress and excitement. He needs courage to try to sift the truth from the chaff of propaganda propa-ganda and falsehood that surrounds sur-rounds him and, even if the truth" has a forbidding aspect, face ; it with courage instead of letting his fear of it bewilder and overwhelm him. If it is .true that fear betrays like treason ,that it spreads like an epidemic, that it assembles mobs, and betrays nations, how neccusary that we should rec- ognize this enemy and rout him Deiore ne aesiroys us. - OD OUT OUPa El -f The Hunting Season PS "4" yf 2? t X r Li WrV MOTHEUS GET GRAY Census, Drouth . Weapon In BY BRUCE CATTON Daily, Herald Washington Correspondent WASENGTON, Nor. , 5 The fine ; oratory let loose during 1 debate de-bate over the neutrality bill probably prob-ably helped the administration to get its measure approved: But it always helps to have a little straight.old-fashioned political poli-tical pressure, too, and when the measure got to the House of Representatives Rep-resentatives that pressure was not lacking.

For the census, the nation has been divided into 103 areas which are further subdivided Into a to tal of 560 districts. The district supervisors will choose the 130,-000 130,-000 enumerators; and during the last couple of weeks it has been made clear . that" a congressman who refused; t6, go along with the administration pn the neutrality matter was going to have a hard time exercising Nany voice in that selection. . Drouth Adds Its Weight On top of that, there was the. drouth. A short time ago a number num-ber Of congressmen and senators formed . an unofficial .committee to seek immediate . action for drouth relief. The sum of $50,000,-000 $50,000,-000 was mentioned- as being the least .. that would meet the situation, sit-uation, and it was agreed' that the $50,000,000 had to be forthcoming pretty speedily. . ' , Since then- the administration has done a rieat job of ' finding money where none apparently existed. , First of all, it was discovered that something like $12,000,000 was available at Farm Security Administration. At the beginning of this fiscal fis-cal year, FSC earmarked $18,000,-000 $18,000,-000 for grants-in-aid to distressed farmers; approximately two-thirds two-thirds of this money remained unspent, as the big call for such grants comes around the first of the year. It was decided that this money , could be , used for drouth relief immediately, , and that a deficiency ... appropriation could be had in January. Reserve Funds Brought Out-Next, Out-Next, it "was. recalled that the Budget Bureau had $9,000,000 In FSA money which was being held in reserve and which, under the President's economiy proclamation, was to be turned back to the treasury unless some emergency arose. The drouth situation was officially dubbed an . emergency, and the $9,000,000 thus became available. , Then it was found that the Disaster Dis-aster Loan Corporation had $20,-000,000 $20,-000,000 on hand. This corporation is a subsidiary of the RFC, and hence it can't i make its funds directly available to the FSC people. Conferences are now under way, however, to work out some system whereby -this money can be used in the drouth area, and It-is expected that some-arrangement will be decided on in a few days. Lastly the Federal Surplus Com-to Com-to make food grants for the most urgent cases,, . . Now by "finding" this money to meet .the crisis, the administration administra-tion was able to do two , things : First, it was able to stave off the rising demand that Congress remain in session to appropriate money for arouth relief ; and, second, sec-ond, It was able to swing several votes for the neutrality bill by agreeing to take care of suffering constituents promptly. In moving to erase the 41-vote majority which last spring wrote an embargo into the Bloom bill, those two maneuvers were of apparently ap-parently decisive, importance.
