There is a growing desire to free them from dependence on relatives or charity. In the last few yearn industry has enrolled 4,000,000 retirement insurance workers in schemes. Since 1931 seventeen states have adopted old-ag- e pension, paid out of taxes. State old-apensions are less disgracefully cruel than 'the old poorhouse, but they are not exactly generous.

Americans g. told that except for China and India no other large country has failed to make national provision for relief of elderly citizens. A recent canvass f 200 members of Congress by the Associated Press showed 56 per cent e in favor of federal pensions and only 11 per cent opposed. Sponsors of the Townsend revolving fund plan assert that by the time Congress meet3, their petitions will have old-ag- signatures. Certainly most of the popular demand for old-agpensions centers on this proposal. e This is because the plan i3 simple and attractive. It promises not only help for the old folks but prosperity for all. It offers not merely peng for sions but a real business. Washington dispatches declare that the President was referpump-primin- ring when he said: Organizations promoting fanaroused tastic schemes have hopes which cannot possibly be fulfilled. Through their activities they have increased the difficulties of getting sound legislation.. Certainly a project for giving eva ery American over sixty $200 month and holding out to business a $20,000,000,000 or $24,000,000,000 and immedyear of iately expendable purchasing power, is calculated to make anything less generous appear a bit drab. ed Mr. Roosevelt may have performed a necessary service in pricking the bubble of excessive hopes that has formed around this proposal. But it is both unwise and unfair to dismiss the plan as economic lunacy playing into the hands of chlatans, as does the American Association for Social Security. The original concept came from Dr. F. JS. Townsend, a kindly physician in Long Beach, California, and apparently with few exception its promotion has been in the hands of sincere and humanitarian people seeking nothing for -- ooo- Valuable Snow Storm Visits Northern Utah Winter closed down over Northern Utah Monday. The storm Tuesday continued to blanket the higher elevations in deep snow and blocking some of the utates secondary ' highways. Although the storm caused some inconvenience, it was a cause of general jubilation upon the part of residents of this state, who believe they can look forward to a summer of ample water for cities and farms. Indications were that the storm extended from the central part of the state to the northern boundry. The tskies cleared at midday Monday and the weather bureau predict-Monda- y night and Tuesday. A merof 29 cury reading degrees F. coldest of the season was recorded in Salt Lake Monday morning. It was expected that temperatures as low as 15 degrees would be experienced Monday night in some of the valleys. Four of the summer highways were reported by the strte road commission to be closed with snow. They are the ones from Kansas to Stockmore, Ephraim to Orangeville, Cedar City to Lonjf Valley by way of Cedar Breaks and the road through Logan Canyon. Plows at Work Snowplowts were at work on the Strawberry valley road and on the main state highway through Salt Lake and Utah counties. The snow wa3 not heavy enough on these roads to block traffic, but the state road commission decided to clear them to prevent the snow from melting and freezing and making them dangerous to motorists. Pretson G. Peterson, member of the state road commission, said the state will keep all primary highways free of snow this winter and will clear secondary roads wherever He the cost is not excessive. that Utah spends more for snow clearance than any other intermountain state. ed Moreover, while support by economists of national reputation has been noticeably scarce, there has been little thorough-goin- g criticism to j furnish j explain why it could not 8,000,000 jobs and bring a complete SCHOOL VOTING PLACES LISTED recovery of business.

Thus to set aside in the autumn of each year a day on which to give thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of life is a wise and reverent custom, long cherished by our people. It is fitting that we should again observe this custom. During the past year we have been given courage and fortitude to meet the problems which have confronted us in our national life. Our sense of social justice has deepened. We have been given vision to make new provisions for human welfare and happiness, and in a spirit of mutual happiness we have to translate vision into reality. More greatly have we turned our hearts and minds to things spiritual. We can truly say, What profiteth it a nation if it gain the whole world and lose its own soul. With gratitude in our hearts for what has already been done, may we, with the help of God, dedicate ourselves anew ........ , o work for the betterment of rcktlklnd.

FIRST THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION "Whereas, it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor: and Whereas, both houses of Congress have, by their joint committee requested me to recommend to the people of the United States, a day of Public Thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Alm;ghty God, especially by offering them an opportunity peacably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the people of these States to the 'service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His ldnd care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have enjoyed; for the peaceable aad rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of governmenjt for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for tne civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and ether trangressions ; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relaeive duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a bless-ni- g to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise just and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us) and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion of virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as His alone knows to be best.
