ADDRESS j Because lx.th lhe Women's Civic club and ihe Parent-Teach- er association of the CVntral school had meetings set fos, 8 p. m. last night, those in charge of the two programs decided to combine and hold the meeting in the Central school auditorium. Is it possible to free the world from war was the question ask-ed and answered by Dr. Joseph F. Merrill, former head of the European mission of the L.D.S. church and a member of the council of twelve apostles of the church, in his address, "The Cause and Cure of War". The course of international de-velopments since the World War Armistice 21 years ago was trac-ed by Dr. Merrill. He outlined the manner in which the Treaty of Versailles was drawn up and explained Germany's resentment. Injustice as a basis of peace nev-er secures a permanent t peace, Dr. Merrill said. The German people deserved more than they were given by the peace treaty. From the moment Hitler came into power in January, 1933, Ger-many's trend was toward rearm-ament. Hitler's doctrine is that a powerful nation can direct poli-cies as it pleases and can get what it wants because no nation is strong enough to deny it' Mr. Merrill said it was his opinion that Germany's discon-tent with the World War treaty was justified but that their meth-od aimed toward correction was not the best. No country wants war, the speaker said, but they find them-selves facing war because their rulers are unable, for one reea-so- n or another, to sit at a con-ference table and settle differ-ences. The reason is ambition, selfishness, the desire to use the weapon, uncivilized man has al-ways used war. The world can be freed of wtf if the methods of the past are changed. If all humans can be re-garded as brothers, as equals (Continued on page 8) O Highland Boy P.-T- . A- - Sets Thanksgiving Dance The Highland Boy Parent-Teach- er association is sponsoring a Thanksgiving dance at the school house Monday evening, November 20.

BYRD EXPEDITION LEFT WEDNESDAY After cancellation of several an-nounced sailing dates, the Byrd expedition... got. underway Wed-nesday morning. Last week it was thought the boats would leave without the Penguin I, 27-to- n snow cruiser designed for use at the south pole, but the cruiser made the final lap of its trip from Chicago without any more mishaps, and the sailing date of the North Star was again postponed awaiting its arrival. Dr. Russell G. Frazier, physician-- surgeon with the expedi-tion, sent telegrams reaching friends in Bingham Tuesday, "Sailing in a few minutes. Plan to leave Philadelphia Thursday". After Dr. Frazier had dispatched his farewell greetings, the sailing was evidently cost do nod another day. The North Star, loaded with equipment, supplies and two planes, will reach the icy ant-arctic wastes sometime after Christmas. In all, expedition members are expected to be a' way two years. GOOD ADDRESSES MARKR-L-A. MEET Theme of the Utah Congress Parent-Teach- er association, "Free-dom For Growth", was developed in the talk given by Arthur E. Peterson, assistant superintend-ent of Jordan school district, in his discussion of the importance of the home- - in training of child-ren Wednesday at Bingham high school, where the P.-- T. A. held their second meeting this year. r Parents should strike a medium between autocracy and license, Mr. Peterson said, in his discus-sion of discipline, Adolescence was characterized as the most hazardous period of life. In deal-ing with the adolescent Mr. Pe-terson listed the following as important points to remember: (1) Avoid humiliating punish- - ment; self-respe- ct of the child must be preserved; (2) Sometimes punishment is necessary, but corporal punish-ment is worthless at this time; if ever of any value it is during the 6 year period; (3) Never stress a child's weak-ness nor compare to his disad-vantage; (4) Strive to develop person-ality and individuality; encour-age e; (5) Teach them to enjoy rights by discharge of responsibilities; (6) Receive the child's ideas with respect and sympathy, even when he is wrong; Mr. Peterson closed with the admonition, "Remember wise freedom will perpetuate democ-racy". Mrs. David Lyon, president of the senior and junior high school P.-- A., gave a welcoming speech at the beginning of the meeting. The high school girls' glee club, directed by Joel Jensen, sang two numbers. Warren Allsop spoke on "Chil-dren's Leisure Time". Principal T. H. McMullin's topic was "Standards and How We Main-tain Them". A saxaphone trio, Garth Ras-musse- n, Roland Miller and La-mar Draper, instrumentalists, played numbers.
