TODAY'S CHUCKLE An Irate Provo cltlsen speaking: What has come over this town lately? When I go to read the local papers, all I can find Is news from Edgemont, the three Views, Orem, Windsor and Vineyard. How do those hick string of houses rate news so often? The "Utah Valley News Is terrible I but the Herald Well, wouldnt be surprised to see It blossom out any day as the Sharon Evening Herald. Note: Meantime us hicks can't be blamed for our broad grins. Some press agent we got Huh! ; Note to preachers and choirmasters: Every service Is Just as long as It seems. sue PETTY LARCENY (Borrowed): He tried to cross the railroad track Before a rushing train They put the pieces In a sack But couldn't find the brain, s s Several yearn back the legislature designated the Vineyard to Edgemont road a state highway. Shortly thereafter the road commission agreed to hard surface this highway and it waa partly done from Vineyard to Lincoln Highway. There the matter rested. The most dangerous part of the road, the dugways off each of the benches with their dangerous curves remain untouched. The road commission says it will finish the work if the Utah County commission will ask it to do so. The Utah County commission hasn't got around to request it yet-- Maybe the people haven't pushed hard enough. Surely it wont be necessary to have a major accident with a school bus loaded with children to get action! At least we hope It won't. Meanwhile the 8,000 people in the Lincoln school district who are vitally Interested In this highway will patiently wait a little longer. Utah County conference HEADS A county-wid- e on the problem of cooperative health associations will be held on February 11 in the Provo Central School auditorium, it was announced today by Mrs. Mary K. Mower of American Fork, president of the Home and Community Department of the Utah State Farm Bureau and chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements for the conference. The purpose of the conference Is to make the people of Utah County aware of the possibilities of the services they might receive through cooperative health organizations, Mrs. Mower said. The conference is the first step In an educational extensive county-wid- e program which our committee plans to launch. The educational program will be carried on In discussion groups In every town in the county In cooperation with the Public Affairs and Workers Education Section of the WPA Adult Education Program. The group planning the conference -- la the Joint cooperative education and health committees of the Utah County Planning Is who Board. Mrs. Mower, permanent chairman of the cooperative education committee, was elected chairman of the Joint group. The conference will be held in two general sessions In the Provo on Saturday. Central School February 11. One session will begin at 1:S0 P. M. and will last nntil 4:00 P. M. The second session will begin at 7:10 P. M. and last until 9:10 P. M. The afternoon aesslon will be devoted to small discussion groups which will discuss In detail various problems invplved In cooperative health associations, and It will be devoted in part to a training program on discussion group techniques. The evening session will be devoted to reports of committees and to speakers. Several outstanding speakers are being arranged for and their names will be announced later. "The great local as well as national Interest in the problem of medical carp created by recent events, along with the fact that the Provo Community Hospital is nearing completion. Impressed our committees with the fact that the people of Utah County should familiarise themselves with these facts and problems. We feel that only through a comprehensive educational program can the people of Utah County, as well aa those of the nation at large, solve rationally the complicated problems Involved In medical economics. Nearly all elements In society are beginning to recognize that the most reasonable way of attempting to solve the problem of paying for medical service Is through forming organisations to pay for such service at a stipulated monthly or yearly fee before the service Is actually needed. In other words, most people feel that the Insurance principle should be employed, Mrs. Mower said. The committee plans tc act up local committees In each town to handle the educational program in those towns. For that reason, they wish to urge all people In the county who are Interested In the problem of health to attead the conference In order to become familiar with the problem so that good as his bond. . . .

Lawrence Hawthorne) Lord, give me the strength of the pioneer And the faith of his hardy soul! Provide me with courage to persevere; Make me fight till I reach my goal.
