That item should be of great importance to us who have suffered crop reduction because of water shortage during drowth seasons. A water users association will be created, which will contract for all the water to be stored by the construction of the Deer Creek Reservoir. All companies subscribing for water will contract with the association and also with the United States for what water they want. The companies purchasing water will have the same relation to the Water Users' Association as individual stock holders in a company have with the irrigation company. It is- contemplated that a Metropolitan Water District Law w:ll bt enacted through a special session of the Utah Legislature. Such law will provide that cities may subscribe for water withou( bonding, and make annual payments by direct taxation or through revenue. Areas of land under canals, which are not financially able to give adequate security for their water, may subscribe through an irrigation district.

Thirty members were present to enjoy the evening's entertainment. Mr. Reed Holdaway, president of the organization, was introduced by Mr. Frank B. Newman, as master of ceremonies.

Everyone present pronounced the social a success. a Under the direction of the Presiding Aaronic a church-wid- e Bishopric Priesthood observance of the Word of Wisdom anniversary is under way it is announced today. Reports received indicate that the observance will be general among the Priests, Teachers and Deacons of the Church. Many programs fob Sunday evening, February 25, are being given by the Aaronic Priesthood. That is the nearest Sunday to Tuesday, Feb. 27, which is the 101th anniversary of the revelation known as the Word 'of Wisdom, given to the Prophet Joseph Smith, at Kirtland, Ohio, February 27, 1833. It is urged that, these programs sponsored in all the wards of the Church give particular reference to the application of the Word of Wisdom to the youth. Programs emphasizing this arj to be given Sunday evening, February 25. In the Aaronic Priesthood quorum meetings on that Sunday all quorum supervisors are asked to read and discuss the Word of Wisdom revelation, and its application. The use of stories and illustrations to the applicable Word of Wisdom and especially to put over its message to the youth are recommended. Fast Offering Campaign During the year 1934, a campaign will be carried on Deacons of the various wards, gathering of fast offerings.

According to Charles Poulson, the challenge of a month ago still goes for any other group of high priests in the stake. There is still time to crop the wings of the Timpanogos outfit if the other wards will organize a team for volley ball or van ball right away; then get in touch with Charlie Poulson or a game of real sport. June Mass Chorus Attracts Attention In anticipation of the Church-wid- e spring music festival in the Salt Lake Tabernacle, Saturday, June 9, in nectioq, with the annual Mutual Improvement association conference, several stakes have announced festivals to be held in the near future. A few stakes have already held these festivals. Under the plan developed by the M. I. A. music committee each stake is to conduct a music festival using a standard repertoire of musical numbers from the program to be given at the June festival. From each stake chorus a limited number of singers will be selected to go to Salt Lake in June for training and participation in the Church-wid- e event. Nobel Cain of Chicago, driector of the Chicago A. Capella chorus, and one of the directors of music at the Century of Progress exposition, will direct the combined festival chorus in intensive rehearsals and at the final festival. Mr. Cain was the director two years ago of a similar festival which was pronounced by music authorities to be one of the outstanding events in LTtahs musical history. wards are wholly dependent upon these funds to care for the needy. It is hoped that contributions per capita will be greatly increased this year in comparison with last. New Committee Member Marvin Perry of the Pleasant View ward has been appointed as a member of the Stake Aaronic Priesthood committee, to act as secretary. He will have the responsibility of securing reports of attendance and activity from the Secretaries of the different wards, and compiling the report of the Stake. Assignments Made In order to increase the efficiency of the Stake committee, the members have been assigned to a specific duty as follows: Victor C. Anderson, Priests; James C Jensen, Teachers; Alfred Madsen, Deacons; C. Wilford. Larsen, Outing, Fraternal activities, etc.; -- Raymond A. Harding, Older, Inactive members; Henry D. Taylor, Work with Chairmen of Wards; Marvin Perry, Work with Master Secretaries. Stake Attendance In a recent edition of the chqrch r- . owvuwu ui at. ll MAS me noted that Sharon stake had an average attendance of Aaronic Priesthood members at quorum meetings of 3 1 for the month of Decembci. This was eleventh highest of all stakes in the church. , This record was excelled in the month of J inuary, the attendance being Keep up the fine work, . fellows! ficers, and in conference with representatives of the federal relief ad-- " ministration and other local social , -agencies, to gather up such household furnishings and bedding as people may be able to share as gifts to those who greatly need them. Confident of Response I am confident that the American people will generously cooperate and respond. Indeed, I am hoping that in many cases they will telephone or send letters to the local scout officers to offer their help to carry through this national good turn. This is, no doubt, the greatest opportunity to render a worthwhile service that has ever presented itself to the people of the nation. In many homes there is a surplus of partly worn out clothing, or some other household article, while in other' homes there is 4 great need for these articles. Therefore, in keeping with the president's call the boys of the stake cheerfully respond to this challenge, and they ask for your cooperation in making this drive worth while. When they call on you, receive them kindly, and be prepared, where possible to present them with some worthwhile article that might be passed on to someone else with pride. A little effort on the pact of the doner in repairing or cleaning the article will greatly increase its value. Coiaiuittcvi Called The following committeemen have been appointed to direct the work in the various wards, under the direction of the ward Relief Society: Raymond Cutler, Sharon ward; Roy Muhlestein, Pleasant View; A. M. Davis, Lake View; Spencer Madsen, to contact Grand View; Earl Mecham to contact Edgemont; Roy Gappmayer, Timpanogos; T. C. Hebertson, Vine- yard.
