PROPOSED Investigation is being made by the Sharon Stake Executive Council of the L.D.S. Security program of the possibility of manufacturing for local use lime and sulphur spray materials. . Test runs have been made of this product. The samples turned out have been submitted to the the of chemistry department Brigham Young UTbvcrsity. As a result of these tests it was found that the sample product was fully equal in every respect to the ordinary commercial lime and sulphur sprays sold to Utah County It was also found that these sprays could be manufactured at a much lower price than is charged the local growers by outside companies and still leave enough to cover the overhead of the manufacture. If enough interest is shown by local fruit growers and producers of associations the management the Sharon - Utah Cannery wdl install two additional vats' in the new shed being built for the boiler at the cannery where the spray can be manufactured. This installation can be accomplished without great expense and work will thus he provided for additional Sharon people during the winter months. lime-sulph- It is hoped also tliat many thousands of dollars can be saved to fruit growers in this locality. Fruit growers and others interested in this project should get in touch at once with President Bigler, chairman of the Executive Council, or with Charles H. Poulson, manager of the Sharon - Utah Connery.

Only picture features are shown which children can enjoy. There are always several comedies and cartoons on the program. Possibly one of the best features of the club activities is the opportunity given the little folks to perform before each other. Each week the stage act gets better and more finished. i Wilbur Harding Accepts Call Wilbur Harding, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Harding of Vineyard, has accepted a call to the Nortir'-- n States Mission. He will go to the Mission Home in Salt Lake on November 16th and will leave December 3rd for his field of labor. Mr. Wilbur Harding is a very prominent young man in his community. He is a graduate of Lincoln High School and of the Sharon Stake Seminary and for the past two years has been attending the Brigham Young University in Remember, mothers who bring Provo.

You should hear the youngsters sing their theme song, "Pop-ey- e the Sailor Man and see the thrill they get as they njarch up for their birthday gifts. -- Many projects could be taken now in building churches the and auditoriums throughout state if there were sufficient skilled workmen to carry the labor and without going to outside places to secure craftsmen. Beginning within the next few days, arrangements will be made with the Brigham Young University an the high school mechanic arts department to offer course-fo- r carpenters, electricians, plumbers, painters, brick layers, plasterers, and other trades, to be given during the winter month for the benefit of those who would like to prepare themselves for this class of work. Following a theoretical course of several months during the winter, it is planned that those who take the courses shall then work as apprentices to skilled men in their respective lines. After a period of apprenticeship the student will then be prepared for regular work in the trades. , At the last meeting of the Bishops Council of Sharon Stak plans for this phase of the Church Security Prdgram were brought to the attention of the Church officials and these brethren were requested to submit the names of those who would like to enroll in the trades courses. As soon as these lists are available they will be submitted to the school authat thorities with the request courses of instruction he prepared along the lines suggested. Another phase of the Church Security Program which is being strongly emphasized is that all members church bodied able should be employed, and that only those who are unable' to work should be helped by direct measures. The Church program contemplates a busy, energetic membership. Idleness, it is declared, is the worst foe of the race, and in order to be good church members all physically able should be at work. Those who are to receive benefits of the Church Security Program are expected to work in that program, and while they will not be paid any stated wage, yet their wants will be taken care of when the necessity arrives without humiliation or embarrassment. It is not a charitable plan, but a means of giving to all church members who should require employment an opportunity to work at some useful and gainful enterprize so that they may maintain their self respect and at the same time have social security for themselves and their families. Reports were also made at the last meeting on the Sharon - Utah Cannery which went into operation in The run has been completed. Manager Charles H. Poulson states that over 32,000 cans of fresh fruits and vegetables have been canned,.

Quarterly Conference; Security Plan Explained A free Nursing Course of twelve lessons of one hour each is offered to a(l women of our locality. The class begins Monday evening November 9 at 7:30 at the Seminary building. OF C. SPONSORS Stake The Sharon Quarterly Conference was held October 17, 18 in the Lincoln High School Auditorium. There were no general authorities of the Church present, but all who attended were unanimous in proclaiming that it was one of the best conferences ever held in Sharon Stake. President Samuel H. Blake gave the keynote thought in his openthat the aim of the ing address Church was to learn to live together in a congenial way and to appreciate each other. This is the purpose of all our organizations including the schools. If we learn to live rightly here on earth, we need not worry Jout the hereafter. President A. V. Watkins explained the workings of the new Church Security llan, stressing the need of payment of tithes and fast offerings if the plait was to succeed. He said further: The millenium cant come over night nor it cant come unless-peoplearn to live, such timnle require-rtient- s as payment of tithes and offerings. We must learn that we are our 'brothers keeper. President Adelbert Bigler also explained the possibilities of the Social Security Plan, particularly the success that has attended the first venture in the Stake in the operation of the canning plant. Other speakers were Sidney H Club and President J. Arthur Ivie who spoke at the Saturday evening session with Presidents Bigler and Watkins. Sunday morning speakers were Dorothy Ilunn, who has just returned from the North Merrill Central States Mission; Scout Assistant Christofferson, Commissione ' rof Park District, who awarded ten neckerchiefs to the boys who were chosen to. attend the National Scout Jamboree last year (Glen Vernon, Lewis Wells, Joseph Ford, Kent Fielding.

Your Public Improvement committee recently met with the Orem Town Board and urged the installing of electric caution signals at the intersections of State S ieet and Lincoln street ; also at State street and Canyon Drive street. They also urged the patrolling of the highway by the town Marshall as a safety measure against speeding and reckless driving through the town. The cleaning of weeds from our main side walk was also urged. We are also cooperating with the Town Board in urging the State Road Commission to begin without further delay the widening surface highway of the hard through our town; also we are petitioning for help from the Commission in the extending of the side walk through north and south to the town limits. A special committee is working with the Mountain States Telephone Company and our State Utility Commission in an effort to change the phone companys policy of charging us long distance rates to phone across Canyon Drive street, the principal Center street in our town. Recently the Executive Board of Clubs of the Associated Civic Northern Utah circulated a questionnaire among its members relative to important state problems as follows: (1) Do you favor the removal of the State Prison from its present location? (2) Do you favor the proposed Constitutional Amendment one, two, three and the office of four, thus .taking of Public State Superintendent Instruction out of Politics?

As the explanations on the ballots are necessarily very brief and indefinite as to the meaning of the changes proposed, we are printing the following explanations written by Superintendent Aldous Dixon who is a member of a committee of nine appointed by the Governor to study the need for these amendments ard give recommendations. Proposed Constitutional Amendments I, 2, and 3. All three of these amendments affect the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Their purpose is to free the office from partisian political control. Amendment I omits this office from the list of state elected officers. Amendment II eliminates the of; free of the superintendent from the list of officers whom the Govern-no- r may appoint in case of death or a vacancy. Amendment III provides for the removal of the State Superintendent as an member of the State Board of Education. I am in favor of these amendments because: 1. It will place the Superintendent directly under the control of the State Board of Education. He is at present independent. 2. It will prevent his acting in a dual capacity. He is now both board member and executive. In other words both servant and master at the same time. 3. The State Board of Education is in a better position to select a trained superintenprofessionally dent. In 1933 the State Legislature provided that the State Board members should be elected by the Boards of Education in each judicial district. This legislation was merely a preparatory step for takn ing the superintendent out of politics. 4. Prior to 1890 each small district in Utah elected a superintendent, but after 1890 school districts were created and school board members elected. These boards appointed the superintendent of schools. The election of the State Superintendent is the last vestige of this antiquated system. 5. Our experience with the consolidated school district shows that the appointive system is vastly superior to the superintendent elected at a partisian election. Both political parties support Aments 1, 2, and 3 in their platforms. Constitutional Amendment No. 4. This amendment is designed to relieve the stock holders of banks from double liability. In my opinion it is a good measure because the Government now guarantees deposits and because the stock holders of national banks do not have the double liability. Evidently the Federal Government disfavors the double liability clause. Amendment No. 5. If Amendment No. 5 is passed by the people, the Legislature will On In The World The present strife in Spain owes its being to an old and widely pres- ent cause. It is the result of economic and agrarian problems which subjected a great Snass of the people to the exploitation of the more wealthy. The passionate feeling on both sides has fed the flames that take terrible toll of life and property. And after the fires have died out, the same problems will confront the heads of whatever government then has control. Here is an example of the problem in Spain before the revolt actively began. In the little city pf Hinajosa, an comn unity not far agricultural from the site of recent fierce fightis largely of ing, the population the peasant type. A great number of them found a livlihood from working in a lead mine. But when the price of lead was lowered, the mine closed and the miners found it impossible to wrest support from the hard, infertile soil. Those who obtained work in the brief harvests of wheat and olives, got a wage of from thirty to sixty cents a day, a yearly wage amounting to about thirty dollars. These people are known as the starving ones and follow a way of life not known in civilized times. They wander about living on wild fruits, grasses, herbs, an whatever else they can Find. Even the better-of- f people live so mf 'rably it is inconceivable to us; no doctor, no telephone, no electricity, no decent roads to the outside and no relief organization to prevent starvation. This example is a typical one. undemoSpain is fantastically cratic. 80 per cent of the people live on the land but 40 per cent of the land is owned by 1200 of Spains 28,000,000 people. 20 percent of the remainder of the land belongs to 75,000 families. Most of the land owners live in the cities and lease their property which may be several times more. Moreover the land is poor, due partly to overgrazing and diy Liming. As a result, the peasant, non property-holding classes joined forces with Spains rebel forces in an attempt to overthrow the government General Franco leads them. The, farmers who own thtir land and the property class in general strive to prevent the radical element from taking government (Continued on page eight) sub-leas- Republican Rally Monday Evening The Republican party will climax its campaign with a free picture show in the Lincoln high school auditorium Monday evening commencing at 8 p. m., all voters are invited to attend.

Each Republican on the ticket is recognicd as being possessed of qualifications which will successfully enable him to fill the position he seeks.
