Interest In Road Show Runs High This and That By G. B. S. A column of comment Wise and Otherwise Tough Old World This is a tough old world, Italy attempting to gobble up Ethiinopia and Japan taking China on stallments, and all the members o? the nations quarelling tunong themselves while the steals are going on. Strikes and riots, earth quakes, too much food in some places, too little in others, too much rain in some places, not enough in others, millions on the dole who are reserving, millions on the dole who are undeserving. In fact, eveiything in general seems to be out of join badly so. Proclamations calling for Thanksgiving celebrations by presidents, governors and mayors dont seem to help the matter any either. Thev are more or less routine and dont bring thanksgiving into ymir heart unless you can find s me occasion for it. . These are first impressions on reading the new batch of proclamations calling for Thanksgiving. It is an easy matter to issue proclamations, but a much more difficult task for us to realize just what, we have to be thankful for. Giving the matter second thought, it is possible that out of the slough of despond into which many of us descend in these days, we may emerge long enough to find something to be thankful for, In the first place, we might just as well be thankful for having the right to kick. We still have that right left in America, and to do it in public, which is several steps ahead of the Germans, Italians and Russians, not to mention others. Italians, lets be thankful that Hitler and Mussolini are not quintuplets, although they have done a fairly good sized job in bringing order out of chaos in countries where the majority of the people seem to love dictators. ' . In the second place, probably we ought to be thankful that we live in a country that can raise enough money to pay a dole, whether the dolces are worthy of their hire oi not. And as for strikes, we shouldn't overlook the fact that America is one of the few large countries left where workers have the right to strike. Thats something to be thankful for in capital letters. And as for the distribution of rains, that reminds us: Why didnt Brigham Young go on to Oregon or California where the raip takes care of growing things? Why stop In the middle of the desert when the warm sunshine and gold of California, or the great forests and grass and flower clad hills of Oregon could have been his for the taking? this Some one has suggested answer: Having things too easy has never made a great people in the worth while things of life. Struggle makes for strength of character. Ancient Israel became the spiritual and religious leader of the world. Its home was in a country. To maintain life was a constant battle with the elements. The people were pastoral and agrisuch conditions From cultural. came one of the world's greatest teachers and a great civilization. Many, have noted the similarity between Brigham Youngs choice of buds and the home of ancient Israel. Even if we havent realized our possibilitiee a yet, we ought to be thankful for the environment which demand a type of life that holds for the future promise great world leadership in those things of life which are beyond price and eternal.

I. A. Road Shows, both ward and stake, this season. The ward events are set for December 3rd. and the Stake finals December 6th. ' Events this year will be on a competitive basis, and from the interest being taken and the intensive preparations under way it is expected that the standard of the acts will be far superior to that of recent years.ffi Orem Sidewalk May Be Extended North Two Miles Extension of the cement sidewalk to the North limits of Orem is a possibility, according to Ivan J. Burr, president of Orem, The sidewalk is now completed beginning at the Lincoln High School northward to Clifton Pynes residence. The present project only calls for an extension to the canyon road. Mr. Buir accompanied by Emery of the J. McKellip, president-elec- t town board, and Ervin Hooley, member of the tovVn board, will meet with the State Road Commission today in Salt Lake City to press the extension of the sidewalk project on North through Orem to the northern boundary a distanec of two miles. Th$ old project comprising the first two miles of sidewalk was done under an E.R.A. project in cooperation with the State Road Commission. It is desired that the extension of two miles be completed under a similar arrangement with W.P.A. and the State Road Commission. The project would employ quite a large crew of men and would undoubtedly move faster than the one trout the high school to the canyon road for the reason that the ground is more even ter- the North and would require much less grading and hauling of dirt to make fills sJwil liC QiC.U w.vll bvSrd considering a new W.P.A. project to enlarge the water supply at the intake of the Orem water system.

The auditorium was crowded to capacity with relatives, friends and neighbors of Mrs. Taylor. Shortly prior to her death Mrs. Taylor, realizing the end was near, pi? nned the entire program for the fun tral services, and it was carried out according to her desires. Her nephew-- , Dean A.

He told of her sunny disposition and the cheerful example she had been to all of the members of the group. Her outstanding characteristic, he declared, wa her ability to make friends and to keep them. He also paid tribute to Brother John Johnson, Nora's father, who was bishop of the ward at that time.

DEER GREEK RESERVOIR SITE For Our Student Dances Oil APPOINTMENTS ISSL Each Orem Party Has Two Trustee Both Claim President. Speculation is rife among the first guessers as to whether or not there will be any change in the appointive offices in the Orem Town after the first of the year as a result of the election of November 5th. The offices to he filled are: town clerk, auditor, water master, The present and town marshall. appointees were made by the old city council which was dominated by the Citizens party. While the Citizens party claims Mr. McKellip, who was elected president of the Board, because of the fact that he was elected oil their ticket two years ago as a member of the Board of Trustees, it is by no means certain that. he will favor the appointees of the Citizens party. The reason for this is that he was nominated by both parties and the position that he should not favor either side. The Citizens were successful in electing on their ticket Ertman and Stanley Harris, Christensen while the Progressives succeeded in electing Roy (lappmayer and Evan Wilbert. The race was very close between several of these candidates, Mr. Wilburg Thomas defeating Cordner by only two votes. Prior to the election it ftas rumored that a "dark horse" would be sprung at the last moment to oppose Mr. McKellip. However, this did not develop, and Mr. McKellip secured all the votes cast for president. Geographically the new board is fairly well distributed, Mr. McKellip being a resident of Sharon Ward, Mr. Wilburg of Windsor, Mr. Christensen of Sharon, Mr. Harris of Windsor, and Mr. Gappinayer of Timpanogos. may-tak- The Board of Education of the Alpine School District at a recent meeting decreed that all school dances shall be strictly invitational and have frowned on the type of popular dances ordinarily given. Superintendent David Gourley set forth the policy of the Board as follows: 1. Dances and parties shall be student functions. Other persons shall attend them only by special invitation, and each student shall he personally responsible for the the conduct of his guests. 2. Dance music shall be subject to censorship of the high school principals; music of a higher standard than of that now played will he required. 3. Dances shall begin earlier and end earlier, lasting from 8 p. m. to 11 p. m. VV P A Project Work Resumes The W. P. A. Administration at Provo announced recently that the Lincoln High School improvement project would be reopened and finished within the next six months. A crew of men started work Friday at the high school, putting i., the sprinkling system and covering trenches. The project includes the finishing of the highway running east and west, noith of the high school grounds as well as the removal of irrigation ditches on the State Highway south of the high school building. The football field is to be worked over and ground prepared for new lawn on the tract of land purchased from Mrs. Emma Poulson last fall.

No small contribution to the turkey production of this state has been made by Edmund Spalding in Vineyard. Turkey is king in that section as well as other parts of Utah. Mr. Spalding marketed 4.760 prime birds, making up a shipment of two and car loads. The birds averaged 16 pounds each. They were hatched in California, brooded in Yin yard, and when eight weeks old were taken up to a ranch in Deer Creek in Irovo Canyon. It took three men to herd and feed them during the summer time. On hundred and ten people were- - required to get them ready for market. The cars were shipped direct to the New York market. Mr.. Spaldings flock of turkeys tvas judged by experts to be one of the finest in the state of Utah. The average weight of the birds dressed is evidence of that statement.
