A GOOD SPORTSMAN, in my language, is a person who can win or lose graciously or one who respects the rights of his neighbor during a hunting season, whether he be a hunter, a stock-ma- n or a farmer.

IN THE SEASON OF BEGINNINGS This is the season for giving thanks. This is the season in which joy and happiness should reign. But no matter what' the time of year, it is always a season of beginnings. For those June graduates, the transition has been made from family allowances to company payrolls. Now they are on their own, and the jioint has been well established. The future is seen in different perspective. For those June brides and bridegrooms, the honeymoon is over. The transition has been made from those starsen-the-eyrealities of a courtship days to the dollar-sig- n world. Their future, too, is seen in changed perspective. For these beginners classes in life, the future depends largely on the start. Not that a wrong start dooms anyone to ultimate failure; our ways can be mended .life is so good to us that way. But, how much better the future, if wrong starts are avoided. And there are so many guideposts along those early stretches pf the new, life of responsibilities to save our beginners from straying down deadend roads. t is a mighty factor in this season of be- -. Yes, the dollar-sig.. ginnings. The 'moralists will say there is more much more in life than money. And they are so right. But without iponey, there isnt much. Thats the lesson our beginners must learn, right from the start, now that theyre on their own. Money not just for today and tomorrow. Money for next year and the next and the next; money for a lifetime. Money for sickness; for enjoyment of health. Money for a home; for .a family; for those children so happily dreamed of; dor their . proper upbringing and preparation for what some day will be for them,' too, a new life of responsibilities. . u r Its a good world in which todays beginners classes find themselves a world of wonderous opportunities. Most of those ' recent graduates, most of the husbands of those recent brides are. receiving beginners salaries that their fathers and grand-- : fathers only dreamed of earning after years of hard work. r Todays beginners in life have the money; its how they use it ' , I . that counts.. ' o , ut:Thats where those guideposts can be such a help. The older , folks have: learned1 many of them the hard way how much easier it is1 to meet the needs of future years with a balanced financial program. Not just a balance of income and outgo, as sometimes its unthinkingly described. But a program that bal- ances income on the one hand against savings and spending on the other. , The world today is so good to its neophytes. Beginners today have incomes that, with proper planning, make possible . the e fPr future-yea- r needs right from the regular setting-asid' " " .start." - es ... n . .

They are to be complimented on their good job. The opera group expressed thier thanks and appreciation to us for our hospitality fo them and said they will look forward to coming again next year. We are also looking forward to seeing them or any group from the BYU here in Duchesne again some time soon.

After their regular meeting they had an instruction on the seven Sacraments which were instituted by Jesus Christ. They planned to help the Sisters with their Nativity Scene at the front of the convent, and to set up a loud speaker for religious records to be played previous to Midnght Mass during the week before our Lords Birthday. semi-monthl- y : ' Duchesne residents enjoyed the wonderful performances of the Brigham Young Opera Chorus on Wednesday of last week. One was at the Duchesne High School in the afternoon, and another was given at the Stake house in the evening. This large group of 64 members and their leader were taken into individual homes for the night and were served supper and breakfast before they resumed their tour of the Basin. It is a privilege to have these outstanding men and women as guests in Our homes on these rare occasions, and it is also the start' ing of many friendships. The hospitality committee that Tuesday the Sodality met at the Convent and discussed plans for of the young girls the into the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Feast of her Immaculate Conception on Dec. 8. The group will serve a Communion Breakfast to the Notre Dame High Schol team on the Holy Day after the 10:00 oclock Mass at the Church. -- Nor is that the only bright spot in todays perspective for future, years! Its .so much easier to save today. Government Savings Bonds fit into family planning so much more readily than anything that Grandpa had in his day better returns; nothing more secure; and payments of the type on the Payroll Savings Plan at work or the Plan ' of banks. Millions of Americans are living proof to .this oncoming generation that U. S. Savings Bonds belong in the future.

After the regular meeting, the group enjoyed a vivid description of the life of Saint Francis Xavier of the Society of Jesus. He was the apostle of the Indies, and converted hundreds of thousands of pagans to Christianity in the 16th century. The Jesuits, the Order of the Society of Jesus, to which he belonged, is the largest order of Religious men, under vows, in the Roman Catholic Church. There are over 30,000 Jesuits in the world. They teach at the famous universities of Loyalo, Santa Clara, University . of San Francisco, St. Louis, Gonzaga and Creighton.

A policeman handed him a release to sign. But Manuel was sober enough to insist on reading the fine type and darned if he wasnt giving his consent for amputation of a leg! Naturally he refused to sign anything, and when the police sheepishly admited to the judge that the wrong form had been used, Manuel went free. Let it be a lesson to you.
