II. Case Addresses High and Elementary School Students On Americanism At Special Assembly Musical Numbers Carry Out Patriotic Theme ' Upon your judgment will rest the destiny of America, Wm. H. Case told Duchesne high school and elementary students at a special assembly Thursday in observance of Americanism Week and in commemoration of George Wash- F011EMI ingtons birthday. ", . . . Mould you characters well, equip yourselves with knowledge so that you will be able to understand the issues as they are presented. Do not allow yourselves to be led by groups or cliques who would change this form of government," Mr. Case said. Controlled Press Every newspaper in Germany is controlled iby the dictator and his aides until the people are permitted to read only those things he wants them to know, and I am sure that quite often the German people are reading deliberate lies as told by a controlled press. Every American is insured of a trial by jury, we can read what we want; we can speak our own minds freely; we are given our suffrage in selecting our leaders and we have the right of assemblage. Lets n not allow these privilfrom to be taken us, Mr. eges Case concluded. Musical Numbers The patriotic theme was carried out in musical numbers by a mixed quartet composed of Jackqueline Jerry, Merle Sexton, Frances Peterson, Bob Montgomery, Paul Bryce Goodrich and Ralph Alayhew. The elementary chorus sang two numbers and Bob Montgomery and Harold Powell played a trumpet duet.

And though they may never have done it before with any Roosevelt will be enthusiasm, rooting for the Eagles with all their might, for should they win over the defending state champions, the Rough Riders will have their place at the head of the district without further contest. Should the Utes come out with the long end of the score, a tie will be created which will have to be played off before the participation in tlie finals is determined. Incidentally, the Duchesne boys are given a mighty good chance for a win by many of the sports fans. Coach Meyrick has built a strong team out of a light but fast quintet of Seniors who have made a constantly better showing at each contest, and who are going to Vernal with the determination to win if possible. y Win or lose, Duchesne is scheduled for third place In the league, so the boys go in minus any mental strain of something to be gained or lost. Their only incentive, and it is the most powerful one, is to do their honest best and win the game is possible for the pure love of winning. Dont be surprised if they do it.

They visited the Carbon and ofcounty commissioners ficers of the Carbon county Bean Growers Assn. They discussed marketing of the crop, irrigation and cultural practices used in Carbon county, where bean raising is rapidly coming to the fore as a cash crop.
