Re-Electi- Several things might be said about the Provo Community Drama Festival which has been carried on this week under the sponsorship of Bev.

Tet any man can operate an automobile down crowded streets and highways, where the margin between safe passage and a possible serious accident he is is a matter of inches, no matter how to drive safely. That fact largely explains our gigantic motor vehicle accident toll. In some states no examination of any kind is required to obtain a driving license. In others not even a license is needed the most ignorant and incompetent can get behind the wheel ind roar away, endangering everyone in his path. And in most of tliosp states where drivers licensing lyBtems have been established, the law is usually inadequate and prevents only the most obviously incompetent from endangering the public safety. Physical infirmities, bad vision, defective hearing, and, most important of all, psychological handicaps that make safe driving impossible these are found in literally millions of people who are today operating steel juggernauts capable of speeds. Well never go far toward solving the accident problem until every Btate takes the steps necessary to making certain that no person is given a license without providing proof of reasonable capability and a thorough knowledge of way ed hundred-mile-an-ho- ur The Old Man On His Way ....

Anyone who has ever lieen connected with such efforts must realize the tremendous amount of work and patience which such an undertaking involves. Bnt aside from this the Community Church has proved itself to be jnst what it is, a Community church, fostering movements which bring cultural, as well as spiritual, benefits to people throughout the city. Likewise, the Provo Conservatory has done a wonderful piece of work. Most of the cast in all In other the plays were real first nighters. words the Provo Conservatory, entirely responsible for the training given, has taken some plastic ma- terial, some of it rather raw material, and has moulded something fine and in several instances really outstanding, during an astonndinglv short period of training. Those first nighters became seasoned performers in less than a week, and brought credit to themselves and to their coaches. The whole week has brought home to people throughout the city the need and place for such an institution as the Conservatory. Let our schools, our recreation departments, and all our other agencies carry on. Here is another fine institution ready to take their students after the other agencies have served them, and continue with their training. The Conservatory has demonstrated its community value by the training they have given so many young people, gathered from all parts of the city and from various young peoples organizations. It might also le emphasized that we need more intensive training in the matter of spoecn and dramatic art by our local organizations. An excellent opportunity exists here in the WPA Adult school for training in speech through their English classes. Numerous other opportunities also exist, including the Brigham Young university, which makes Provo one of the finest communities in the West. But all cannot go to the university, just as all cannot take advantage of the Conservatory training. Provo is fortunate to have them loth, for they arc training centers where the lK?st and most finished products can yet be made lietter by continuation studies.

Editor Utsh Valley News: Your editorial In a recent laaue of the Utah Valler News, entitled We appreciate Our Singers" was read with much Interest, and It la hoped that sentiments contained therein, may bear fruit. The writer was also Interested In the letter by Mr. Joseph H. Taylor, In last weeks laaue, referring to that editorial. He refers, of course, to the singers was very appropriate aa what he said was worthy of note. But there waa another phase that he did not refer to, namely, Tedious speakers, who mumble their words, exhibiting the in American speech."
