UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1947 This Is American Education Week Beginning today and extending through- out the week, the people jn every city and hamlet in the nation are invited to spend some time in analyzing the role of American schools. Using the general theme "The Schdols Are Yours" the sponsors of American Education Week are inviting all people to take stock, as it were, of their investment not only in money but in actual time of human lives spent determined by the fact that near 30 million children daily for the major part of their childhood and youth attend "your schools." Since Washington and Jefferson early decreed de-creed that representative government could not exist in any land unless the masses were educated and informed on all issues of economic, eco-nomic, social or governmental interest, the states by constitutional mandate nave decreed de-creed that the legislatures shall provide for a system of free public education. No other nation in history has so generously established estab-lished schools for all of the people, but no other nation likewise has attempted the attainment at-tainment of the democratic ideal on quite the same high plane. The early concept of education was essentially essen-tially selfish and personal in motive. Individuals Indi-viduals were interested because of the opportunity oppor-tunity of self-development for increased per- sonal appreciations and an assurance of enlarged en-larged mercenary rewards. The right of self-growth self-growth through education has never been denied and the elaborate study of the United States chamber of commerce on a world-wide basis found substantial evidence that- the income in-come of the people and their total standard of living were largely conditioned by the quantity and quality of education the people !as a group had received. They found for (example that such countries as Mexico and toiumuia were ncn in natural resources uui impoverished educationally and therewith had low standards of living. In contrast, the Scandinavian countries possessed little in natural resources but ranked high among the j nations educationally . and enjoyed a high standard of living. ! We may dislike to think of education associated as-sociated with war in any way but the fact j remains that during the war success or de feat was determined more by the "know how," that is, by the availability of technically technical-ly trained men, than by any other contributing contribut-ing factor. It is appropriate at a moment when there exists such a clash of cultures and a divergence of ideals in and among world powers that we recall the fundamental claim of education ; viz., that only as human understanding under-standing and enlightenment is increased can there be an assurance of lasting peace. If Russia Won't Play General Lucius D. Clay intimates that this country may propose amalgamation . of the British and American zones into an economically econom-ically and politically unified "Germany," with a democratic government with which. regime in Berlin, and to give Moscow a free hand to loot Germany of everything of value, in the guise of reparations, whjle our country provides the raw materials for the commodities commodi-ties Russia will grab.

D.,is Written for NEA Service Stomach and intestinal troubles can result from nervousness.! Neither stomach medicines nor dieting will help the condition, as it is the nerves which must be brought under control. When food reaches the stom ach, it is acted upon-by the di gestive juices and moved along by muscular contractions. The muscular "ring between the stom ach and the small intestine auto matically opens, from time to time, to let the partially digested food through. In nervous individuals, too much or too little digestive juice is secreted, or the muscular con tractions are too weak ,or too forceful. Occasionally, the ring remains shut and holds the food beyond the necessary time for digestion, or else it only opens partially. For a long time, it has been known that strong feelings (such as grief, joy, excitement, or de pression) can affect the stomach. A family in deep grief does not want to eat; excited children push their food away; the widow who cannot be consoled does not have any appetite. Should they eat under these circumstances, they may become ill. The explanation for this diffi culty is found when the stomach presumably, we could conclude treaties of indefinitely, to support western" Germany This possibilitv rests, of course, on outJwhile we quarrel with Moscow about her free come of the November council of foreign i handed looting.

If we are driven to an Ando-American Technically she would be correct. But she, herself, has breached the Potsdam agreement, agree-ment, and those of all the other Big Three meetings, so consistently and so flagrantly that her protest would fall flat. The very necessity for doing something, such as General Gen-eral Clay suggests, arises out of Molotov's arbitrary ignoring of those understandings. Probably the Big Three could get together on a German government and the terms of a treaty at any time, if we, and the British, side settlement with Germanv. because Rus- sia won t play and when she does agree ignores her agreements, just so there is increasing in-creasing possibility that the nations of good win at L.aKe success may be forced to by-pass the UN.

ANTI-EISENHOWER CLUB in September, 1948 which, of course, is the time the presidential campaign gets hot. Truman dropped this remark when Amvet Commander Edgar C. Corry, Jr., invited the president presi-dent to address the Amvet convention in Chicago next September. "I'll be a little busy around that time," replied Truman, quickly, adding with a smile, "however, don't take that to be an announcement." Switching to economic problems, the president showed the Amvet commander a series of charts from which he called figures almost like a football foot-ball quarterback. One chart showed how prices are following the dangerous predepression trend of 1929. Another revealed that 8,000,000,000 of surplus war goods had sold for only $1,000,000,000. "If we are able to take such heavy losses from a war," the president commented, "we certainly should be able to spend some money to Insure peace." It didn't matter whether you called it the Marshall plan, the Truman plan, or by some other name, Truman added, it was really peace insurance in addition to humanitarian relief. "My organization is with you all the way," responded Corry.

Minutia Kobertson BY RUTH LOUISE PARTRIDGE Have two columns I want to write, one about tulip bulbs,, and one about a fight I once saw, but things seem to get in between somehow. Yesterday, a woman called me up and asked me to say something about the bicycle problem in downtown Provo. She feels that if something isn't done about boys tearing up and down Center street on bicycles, that the pedestrian population will have to take to the gutters. It seems to me that the pedestrian population popula-tion (and I am one) have already had to take to the gutters, what with cluttered sidewalks, bicycles 9nd what have you. It dees seem that with the world as big as it is, there should be room for all kinds of locomotion, but 'tain t so. One solid body can occupy a certain space, but not two or more. Let's see. How would we build a city to accommodate all? First, there would be the people who, having once gotten into a car, will not leave it if they can help it. They drive up somewhere and sit on the car horn, rather than get out and ring a door bell. They inhabit the drive-ins, and so special attention would have to be given them. Then there would have to be a number of different roads leading everywhere every-where for different speed enthusiasts. en-thusiasts. Those that don't want to stop for anything, don't want to see anything, just want to go, should have a tunnel underground to fill their needs. The people who like to go leisurely along and see things and enjoy things well, I don't konw what is to become of them, I really don't. Perhaps with the speed demons underground, they would have a chance. Then there are the bicycle enthusiasts. They should have a place to ride without the danger of instant death riding along with them.

When feelings are aroused, gastric juices may stop flowing, even though it has been stimulated by smell or anticipation an-ticipation of food. Nervous vomiting, in which un-digest un-digest food fs brought up, results re-sults from muscular contractions reversing themselves after strong emotional stimulation. Some patients pa-tients have been known to vomit for days while in a worried state. If they had brought their feelings under control, vomiting would have stopped. Nap May Be Needed Pers6ns subject to nervous indigestion in-digestion should not allow themselves them-selves to get upset over little things. They should teach themselves them-selves to forget distressing experiences. ex-periences. It may be necessary for them to take a daily nap. Nervous stomach trouble can be cured without medicine or operations, op-erations, as there is nothing ac tually wrong with the stomach. The main difficulty is the indi vidual's inability to handle life's problems without becoming upset. QUESTION: I have a stuffy nose and everything I put in it seems to make it worse. Sometimes Some-times one side is stopped up and sometimes the other. ANSWER: In the normal nose, there is an alternate opening and closing of the two sides, occuring about once every 30 minutes. If you use irritating drops, nose stuffiness may result. Most stuffy noses develop on a basis of allergy. Try leaving your . nose alone for a time.

In July, 1847, they formed themselves into companies as had been the Mormon Mor-mon custom since 1832, with captains cap-tains of hundreds, fifties, and tens. Names of officers mentioned mention-ed in one diary are, Andrew Lytle, James Pace, William Hyde, Daniel Taylor, Redick N. Allred, Elisha Averett, musician who was appointed captain of ten pioneers. pio-neers. July 21, 1847 The pioneer company advances, scarcely knowing whither they went, only that they had been told that by traveling north, mainly under the base of the mountains, Sutter's Sut-ter's Fort on the Sacramento River might be reached in about 600 miles, while the sea-shore route would be 700 miles. July 23, 1847 Captain Allred 's fifty took up the line of march and traveled 20 miles to General Pico's Rancho, which seemed to have been on old deserted Catholic Catho-lic mission. There were two large gardens, including vineyards, one of which covered about 200 acres.
