CCC Order Is Unfair The people of the state of Utah who are backing the Deer Creek project consider President Roosevelt's sudden order to withdraw all CCC camps from reclamation projects as grossly unfair. CCC work on projects of this kind is nothing; noth-ing; new. It has been done on all Utah projects in the past with no .-protest voiced. When the Ogden river reclamation project preliminary work was under way, no one raised any objections about such work being" semi-pudpc in character. Similar work was done on the Hyrum project and the Moon lake project. The work on, these projects is completed and the sponsoring" wa-terusers wa-terusers have had the benefit of the CCC labor. Now, when the preliminary work is just beginning to get under way on the Provo river project, comes the sudden discovery that there is" something wrong with having CCC work performed on reclamation projects, and an order is issued for its discontinuance, dis-continuance, at once. EKie to the efforts of Governor Blood, Congressman J. Will Robinson, Commissioner John C. Page, and others, it is barely possible that the order will be rescinded and the camp allowed to remain to complete the prelimniary work. It is to be hoped that the president will see the justice of the claim and hot allow palpable discrimination against more than half of the people of Utah who are interested in the Deer Creek project. Inconsistent President Roosevelt appears to have developed two poli cies which are at cross purposes. In his latest discussion of business he declared, "Those who get profits when business is good must bear the losses when business temporarily is sick." How can this be reconciled with his stand for the undistributed undis-tributed profits tax That tax, in effect, says to business men. "Don't build up any reserves for a rainy day. Put out all your profits in dividends or they'll be taxed." To keep the New Deal consistent congress will have to make some drastic changes in this tax law if business men are to build up any reserve for the protection of their workers work-ers daring lean times. lONCE NEWS, NOW HISTORY!

So Representative Representa-tive Vinson, Chairman of the Naval Affairs committee. made this suggestion to Leahy: "Admiral." he said, "you want five or six new battleships. Well Congress won't stand for it. It's too much. But I'll tell you how you can get them. The country's gone mad on airplanes. So you can aik for five or six bfe airplane air-plane carriers, the size of the Lexington, and when you get the 'appropriation from Congress you can 'turn them -into battleships.

And it's up to you to get them for us or else we don't get them." The admiral is just as blunt and to the point in everything he says. He never beats about the bush. Young officers coming in to see him are scared almost speechless when he says: "Well, what's on your ml'.id shoot." But underneath the surface he is kind, considerate and friendly. j PLEASANT ; GROVE !

His father had been a newspaperman, and the youngster had almost unconsciously unconscious-ly studied in that direction. Altho still of high school age he had read more widely and deeply than most university graduates. Although I remembered well some of my own youthful obsessions, obses-sions, and although I was pretty sure the young man would never stray far from the general field of writing, his love for things! military, war lore, histories of wars, and for the tinsel pomp and the false power of ancient conquerors con-querors sometimes worried me. I disagree emphatically with the poet who said that "the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts" I say they are short, short thoughts, seldom arriving at a Iogi-cal conclusion, and taking tak-ing every barrier in stride, taking tak-ing advantage of every shortcut. Occasionally the young man comes to the house for a game of chess or a row in the temperamental temper-amental skiff that usually rests on the grass in the front door-y door-y a rd . On such occasions if urged-- or sometimse if not urged he wiil fight for us single-handed almost any one of the historic battles any of us may mention. A thousand dead-and-gone "heroes" "he-roes" who are nothing but moldy names to me. are living, flesh-and-blood persons to him, persons per-sons who live again on the clashing, clash-ing, bloody stage his fancy builds for them.

CARROLL I was thinking of some of the interesting facts and traditions connected with the month of February. The word itself is of Latin origin and means "to purify." puri-fy." In early history a religious festival rilled with cleansing ceremonies cere-monies was observed during this period of the year. Perhaps one of the most widespread wide-spread myths about February has to do with the second day Ground-Hog Day. If on February second, Candlemas Day, sacred because, according to early Christian Chris-tian tradition, on that day the infant Christ was presented tQ the temple arvj his mother was given the rites of purification if on that day a ground-hog, on coming out from hibernating in his burrow, is able to see his shadow, he will go back, for there will be another period of winter. Weather myths, such as this, are in themselves intensely interesting interest-ing and reveal the attempts of the race in its childhood to explain ex-plain the phenomena it observed. February gives us St. Valentine's Valen-tine's Day, with its love missives flying about. Just how February 14th came to be observed as it is, is not exactly clear. St. Valentine was a martyr of the third century cen-tury about whom little is known. One story concerning him states that he cured a blind daughter of a certain Roman official, who was commissioned by Emperor Claudius Claud-ius to win St. Valentine back to paganism, but was himself converted con-verted to Christianity. The result of this was the imprisonment and later execution of the saint. One supposition is that the martyr sent from his prison-cell messages of love to his friends, though just why February 14th should be dedicated to him is not clear. Perhaps the modern observance of the day is in some way a survival sur-vival of the ancient Roman festival festi-val of Lupercalia, heid on the 15th of February. On that day the Luperci, priests of Faunus, god of animal life and f ruitfulness, made a circuit of Palatine Hill in Rome, striking with goatskin thongs all women encountered to insure fertility and easy delivery. Shakespeare reflects a similar ceremonial in "Julius Caesar." Caesar says to Antonius: "Forget not in your speed to touch Cal-phurnia; Cal-phurnia; for our elders say the oarren, touched in this holy chase, tfhake off their sterile curse." ( This holiday, however, is in i March ) . One custom of the Roman festival festi-val of February 14, was the placing in a box the names of young women to be drawn by young men. This custom prevailed in England and France for cen turies. Samuel Pepys mentions it in his Diary. It is not difficult to see how our modern custom of sending valentines valen-tines evolved from these ancient ceremonials. No matter what the origin, Valentine Val-entine Day is worthy of perpetuation. perpetua-tion. Probably most of us have thrilling memories of Valentine Eve experiences'. Perhaps many of us, too, have hidden away in our boxes of keepsakes some of those lacy, cupid-bedecked miss ives wmcn nave grown to be symbols of youthful love and hap- piness.
