Several persons have been drowned. It is too bad that this happiest of seasons has this one drawback but, thank goodness, ft is one evil that can be corrected; cor-rected; at least as far as the older boys and girls are concerned. con-cerned. The way to correct it is simple teach every child to swim. At one time 99 per cent of the eighth grade students in Provo, boys and girls, could swim. But that was in the days when swimming was part of the curriculum along with reading, writing and arithmetic. Since the high school swimming swim-ming pool was closed the per cent who can swim is probably less than 50 per cent. Even without the facilities we used to have, parentSjcan see to it that their youngsters learn to swim. There are many agencies such as the Red Cross who provide opportunities oppor-tunities in the way of capable instructors for everyone to learn how to handle himself in the water. A nal ysis and A ppreciation With this, that and the other thing given recognition by a week specially designated, or dedicated to it, we feel that at least a few paragraphs can be offered at least once in a great many years, concerning the home town newspaper. Call it Newspaper Appreciation Week, if you will, or whatever, but stop to think what the home town paper means to you and to your community. Though the newspaper's story is generally the same, ouch publication has its individual style, trend and characteristic character-istic make-up. N v Consider this paper. Day after day. year after year, it comes to the home as a daily messenger, bringing- you news of the town, the personal items, church, school, fraternal, political and industrial activities; telling you of happy weddings, wed-dings, babies born, the Grim Reaper's call. Analyze your home town paper sometime, don't "just read it.'' The first page is the "front window," generally well-dressed, well-dressed, and with a variety of attractions. Then there is the editorial page with its many separate and distinct features. There's the "City News" column of personal paragraphs. The merchants themselves have their various depart-nents depart-nents in which, day after day, they make contact with the eading public. This is an important feature of any news-Daper, news-Daper, and of inestimable value to the merchant, the reader, nd the paper. There is a lot of personality in it, for each advertisement is an expression of the man or business it represents. - The classified page is likewise a feature, far more than advertising alone. There can be read romance and tragedy, happiness and sorrow, failure and success, fortune, progress in fact, it is a barometer or the times. And o we could go on. But we asked you to make the analysis, and with that thought still in mind, will "sign off." A Challenge To the Nation, Too We agree heartily with Dr. Frederick Hunter, Oregon chancellor for higher education. In an address at the opening open-ing meeting of the National Education association convention conven-tion in Portland he maintained that the problem of making real "the traditional dream of democracy" depends for a solution solu-tion upon the right training of coming generations. Thus Dr. Hunter tossed a challenge to the nation's teachers. But the challenge is equally effective for the nation na-tion as a whole; for the quality of teaching depends directly upon the quality of teachers and their freedom from political mterfereivce and the dictates of pressure groups. It is true that social, economic and scientific progress of the future is dependent largely upon the teaching of today. to-day. But it is equally true that the teaching of today cannot can-not be the best unless we are willing to PAY for the best and then leave educators FREE to do their part in making our "dream of democracy" a reality. j SIDE GLANCES - By George Clark 1 JH.yGKjf ''';!

Campbell, chief of the Federal Food and Drug administration, admin-istration, has started a one-man campaign against weight-reducing componds and methods now upon the market. Dividing them roughly into three classes, he classifies them as (1) laxatives, which deny the body the benefit of its food intakes: (2) stringent and inadequa..' diets;(3) dangerous danger-ous articles and compounds containing con-taining thyroid or dinitrophenol, both of which speed up the utilization utili-zation of food. All of these he says are impositions on the public, and may cause bodily harm. He is upheld, editorially, by the American Am-erican Medical Journal.' Marriage licenses hit a new high in Provo during the month of June. County Clerk Clarence A. Grant reported 90 marriage licenses, which surpasses the number in any June for the last decade, not including the boom year of 1929 when there were 83 issued. Burials totaled 31, according to City Sexton Don W. Conover. This is the greatest number for the past 10 years and compares with 14 burials in June of 1935. The number of marriage licenses licens-es have been issued as follows: in the month of June: 192983; 1930. 53; 1931, 70: 1932. 66: 1933. 76; 1934. 85; 1935, 69 and 1936, 90. BY BRUCE CATTQN Here's Best Horror Story of the Year A few years ago an unpretentious unpreten-tious book called "Night Over Fitch's Pond" was published, and those who read it wrote down the name of its author, Cora Jarrett, as that of a woman from whom some first-rate fiction migh'j be expected. Those expectations are justified right up to the hilt by Miss Jar-rett's Jar-rett's new novel, "Strange Houses" (Farrer and Rineharte: $2.50). For this is one of the most unusual and completely readable novels of recent years; it is that rarity, a brand-new kind of horror story, flawlessly executed. exe-cuted. Probably it is unfair to say "horror story" for t.his is no cheap thriller. Its horror is a blend of the emotional and the intellectual arising from Miss Jar-rett's Jar-rett's skill in making you accept without reservations a thing which ordinarily you would consider con-sider utterly impossible. It is built up slowly to an almost unendurable unendur-able tension. Briefly, the story has to do with an unscrupulous psychiatrist who experiments with thought transference trans-ference until he manages to compel com-pel a cultured and religious society so-ciety woman of advanced years to exchange bodies with a bawdy young night club strip dancer. From I'lat start the story could become either a rollicking Thome Smith farce or an eerie tragedy. Miss Jarrett follows tthe second course and misses not a bet. To tell how the plot is worked out might spoil the story for you: let is he enough t6 say that Misa Jarrett makes you: believe n this fantastic' transformatioxt and car? ries you along tato the xnostjun-canny, xnostjun-canny, shivery, andf entirely f as-dnating as-dnating novel of recent yefrt.. . .

Other state laws provide that motorists always slow down and look both ways before proceeding across the tracks. The law of common sense makes it clear that it is good business and smart driving to slow down always: better still, to come to a complete stop, and then to be absolutely sure that no train is coming from either direction.
