His wonderful technique, the thrill of fiig beautiful melodies, his whole performance proved two things - everybody appreciates the Community, Concert committee for their wise choice of programs being brought to Provo; and Provo must be a community which appreciates the best in music.

It is my opinion that no state in the country has p finer foundation for the vise and positive use of the 'new lei sure which the country has thrust upon it, which must be used constructively if the nation is to be saved from disaster. Our plan here of city, school and WPA e procooperating in a gram is the foundation of our success. Much credit is due Supt. J. C. Moffitt, Mayor Mark Anderson and Commissioner Jesse Haws for their modern understanding of recreational needs and desires. Mrs. Holland is also state director of women's and childrens ttitiviUo. and Was a Utah delegate representing this division. Her keenest interest, however, is reflected in Provo by the enthusiasm she holds for her home city. Additional proof of the widespread interest .being taken in Provo,' recreational activities is shown by the visit this week of George W. Braden, of Pasedena, California who Is national representative for 11 western states, and who came here to inspect Provo city recreational program. Mr. Haws and Mrs. Holland spent Wednesday with him detailing the varied program under way here. SUBSCRIPTION ED. !

Asked what the salient features of the Provo program are, Mrs. Holland answered; It is simply this. The City, the School, and the WPA cooperate. Jesse Haws, city commissioner in charge of recreation, had a fine word to say about Mrs. Holland and her work, declaring that Recreational programs nrrt here to stay, that people-- must have wholesome recreation in times of increasing leisure, and the organization of city, school board, and WPA makes a cooperative unit in Provo which Is the basis for the success attained. Verne B. Thorpe, Utah state director, is another enthusiast for Provos recreational program.

One petition seeks to repeal the municipal power ordinance, and theother seeks repeal of the Ulen construction ordinance, both passed by a majority vote, of the people on October 13, 1936. Mayor Mark Anderson and City Clerk Bench both declare that to sign either petition on the part of any citizen is in effect a step toward the defeat of the will of the Twenty-fiv- e people as expressed ip Oct. 1936. What action will be taken by the City commission on the peti- tions after they are submitted to County Clerk C. A. Grant and verified for eligibility of names obtained on them has not been indhatej. If no action is taken, the. mailer automatically comes up at the next city election in the fall of 1939; Mr. Bench points . out.
