Solicitor 4 A : h V ' V r ; x As THE CHARMING EUSINESS Has your wife or daughter coaxed money from you to pay for one of the many courses in How to Becnie And Charming now sweeping through the country have you sighed and dug up for what seemed another senseless feminine fad and then later learned that it actually produced? Oh yes, it did, for the feminine part of the family almost overnight became solicitous of the hands that held the purse strings so that a somewhat bewildered male awakened a little later to find that he had bought mama a new hat and Beatrice a new suit and junior a bicycle, not because THEY wanted these things but because through some magical abbacadabra, it had been proven to father that HE longed and hoped and prayed for them. But the increase in what father tails trickery is more than compensated for by the increase in pleasantness, from grandma to Susan, for indelibly implanted in every womans soul is the desire to win affection through her personal charm. Heretofore she has thought that she was born with or without this most precious faculty and now she is told that it comes within the realm of an exact science and can be learned with the same results that she gets learning to cook. Instruction (not guaranteed to bring results) may be had for a of lessons to price' of from two dollars for a group-se- t several hundred dollars for private instruction by famous charmers whose students sometimes become movie stars. Now' Im only a man with no information on the subin a family of woject except what I get as an men and who doesnt dare express himself directly for fear of being mobbed, in an explanatory way, for days to come of charm seekers. They seemed by a charming to me before learning the ways and hows of it all and getting a know ing look m their eyes whenever they I dont mind except when their look at me, the target. veneer shows itself as such in some ones carefully posed posture or artfully dropped eyelids or superior airs that have no basis, and then I get disgusted and wish I had er my money back. . I am not the only person who believes, and firmly, that woman's greatest contribution to society is herself and that her chief duty is to refresh and to stimulate to constructive action. Anything that will help to make women even a degree more charming and the obtaining of money from father more pleasant, is tops" with all our sex, but we insist that women actually make us' want the things they want us to want. At the same time we sigh fur what seems to be a lost guilessness and unconscious allure but we consent to be worked over like a mathematical problem if the woman will only KEEP us fooled. There seems to be some facts of the new picture which are generally unrevealed, however. For example, the women who teach charm are personally very charming and naturally so, having been so all their lives. That charm is deepened by their knowledge of ways and means' and by its constant use. Or perhaps it has lain within them dormant for a while under the restriction of some handicap, such as an inferiority complex, which, when removed, allowed the possessor to let her true self shine through. For undoubtedly charm is not rules or dress or anything that is put on from the outside, though they are pleasant helps, but an inward vividness or fire or inspiration or close touch with the fountain of life or that shines through the individual. I have heard a violinist whose technique and execution of difficult scores were perfect but who nevertheless left his audience as cold and unmoved as a frozen fish. And I have heard an 'artist on the violin, not perfect in reading his score, who played with such fervor, such divine inspiration or revelation of the beauty he was feeling in his own soul, that his hearers wept and shouted in acclamation. 9 wonder how the teachers of charm technique handle the subject of real and lasting charm which is a matter of strong and beautiful, beauty loving, I deep-feelin- . Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Crandall of Sharon Ward will celebrate their Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary on May 2nd by holding open house frQtn two until five for friends and relatives and a dinner in the evening for the family. They request that no gifts be brought. Mr. Crandall is especially known because ol his work on the Alta Ditch project He was one of the first stockholders and has held most of the stock in that company which be helped to found and organize. It was his work on this project which brought him from his home in Fairfield where he was engaged in the cattle business and to Provo Bench where he homesteaded 160 acres of land and later bought still more. This land and about 400 acres more have been watered since then by the Alta Ditch. Interesting Person (Continued from page one) sponsible for his success: his love of nature and growing things. The sun does not rise before Mr. Christensen, fqr he is up to watch the plants awake under the warm influence of the first rays of morning. His fields show his industry and love in their well-kebeauty. He prevents complete failure in auy year by having a variety of crops so. that at least one of them will escape the catastrophe of that particular season or crop or market condition. The crop that has given him "best returns is peaches, however, in late years berries and, potatoes have paid more. His present home was built in 1910 and is the last of four he has had constructed. Mr. Christensen has held several community offices such as being in the Bishopric for two years, on the town board for ten years and on Committee for the Old ' Folks twenty one years. He has helped to build three churches and a seminary and has never turned down a donation for which he has been asked. He is a good answer to those who are always claiming to be unable to afford to give anything away. Mr. Christensen has always afforded to give and has been financially successful in spite of it. His neighbors and those who have had business dealings with him know that he also affords to be considerate of others and sympathetic with their problems, and that even when he is standing firm upon some belief or action he thinks right, he is courteous. His personality 19 pleasing and amiable with a broad streak of fun in it. Courtesy Provo Herald Mr. Crandall spent his early days in Provo and was a student at the B.Y.U. when it first began under Dr. Maesar. In 1887 he married Verena C. Carson of Fairfield. Both she and Mr. Crandall have held positions in church and civic organizations. They have five children all living w hin a mile from their childhood home. They are: Mrs. Mrs. Rtibir Orson Prestwich, Pyne, Mrs. Cyrus Holt, Mrs. Curtis Gordon and Mr. Carson Crandall. are Crandall Mr. and Mrs. among the remaining pioneer settlers of the district and have worked to bring it from a sagebrush deplain to its present state-- of velopment. We give them grateful memory for that, we express our assofor their appreciation ciation and wish them many happy returns of the day. Mr. Christensen has a hobby which he enjoys immensely: traveling. He has been through every state in the union and into Canada and Mexico. I11 1935 the high point of his traveling experiences came with a trip around the world, taking with him Mrs. Christensen. In telling about it he says they saw all there was to see and then some in the time allowed them but that he has a good notion to go back and see the places they were forced to miss. Both he and Mrs. Christensen look forward to more indulgence in this fascinating hobby. In answer to the question, "If you had your life to live over and could plan it any way you wished, what would you do? Mr. Christensen answers: Id be a farmer on Provo Bench. But, I would like to try farming in the Twin Falls district too or with modern equipment somewhere along the Nile River." A Service Station With Complete Modem Equipment.

The petition was granted. The land watered through the canal was known as the Provo Bench Irrigation District (a pait of Pio-vand the Company formed by the land holders was known as the Provo Bench Canal and Irrigation Company. On Decembed 18, 1865, the County Court ordered a meeting for the election of five trustees, one secretary and one treasurer and for the voting of e " or no for a tax of three dollars per acre in order to improve the canal so that four thousand acres of land might be irrigated. The result was the election of William Miller, W. G. David H. McDonald, Kinsey, Enock Reese, and Howard Coray ss trustees, L. John Nuttal as Secretary, Ertoch Reese as Treasurer and yes for a tax of three dollars per acre of land owned. Land values now jumped up to two dollars per acre. The new canal when made was three feet deep and seven feet wide d with slope on each bank. High Council Constituted Courts The Provo Bench Canal and Irrigation Company was forced to come to some agreement with the Nbrth Union Irrigation Company which took water out of the river from the same canal. The North Union Irrigation Companys canal separated from the Provo Bench Irrigation Companys about one and a half miles from its source and ran over towards Pleasant Grove, and Lelii. Some little trou-- ! ble was had in dividing and doing work on the canal and in the division of water from it. On September 4, 1867, the Piovo Bench Canal Company found it necessary to warn the North Union Company that unless they immediately finished their part of the work on the canal, that action would be commence before the High Council of the Provo Stake of Zion against your Company".
