Taylor ACROSS THE EDITOR'S DESK The wisdom of the General Authorities of the L. D. S.- Church has again been made manifest with the division of Sharon stake. The organization of the two new stakes means that there will be an opportunity for more people to serve in the several capacities of leadership in both .wards and stakes. People who have never had many responsibilities placed upon them will be called upon to lead. s ' It is a challenge to every member of the new Shar-. Shar-. on stake and the- Orem stake to recognize the possibilities possibili-ties for service which the stake division affords. The sentiments of members of both new stakes will always be inextricably bound together. Long years of close association can not be soon forgotten, nor is it to be desired. But it is the responsibility of each stake member to rally now to the leadership of their respective respec-tive stakes, giving wholehearted support. Worthy men have been called to preside over both stakes. Let the confidence and support of every member mem-ber be now demonstrated by his willingness to give whatever is asked of his time, energy, and means to further the progress and achievement of his stake. rassago u bans on the closed shop by twelve state legislatures has brought into bright focus the fact that the average American still loves his independence as much as his forefathers did when they declared it in 1776, and then fought a war to defend it.. Rack of the legislative action was a tide of public sentiment so strong, and so forcefully expressed, that all the lobbying of the political professionals of closed shop unions could not prevent it. Here in each case, on a state scale, was the same type and intensity of sentiment which last November swept itno office Congressmen Con-gressmen pledged to restore and protect traditional liberties. Congressional hearings of the past few weeks have served to put into the public record a mass of information informa-tion regarding the effect of closed shop practices upon the independence and freedom of U. S. workmen. While iniquities such as the calling of strikes without the consent con-sent of employes had been much publicized during the coal strike, a large percentage of the public had not realized that dictators of national labor unions had established their own systems of government, making their own laws, levying taxes or tribute without representation, rep-resentation, extending or denying to individual crans-nien crans-nien the rihgt to work, and punishing without trial any employe who incurred their displeasure. Other congressional testimony re-emphasized the fact that under closed shop practices a farm youth or other- non-industrial worker may be prohibited Irom holding a factory job, or even a beginner's job in certain s' illed trades, unless strangers controlling union con-treats con-treats give their consent. Such consent may be withheld with-held entirely as a means of assuring more work for present union members, or it may be wtihheld until the new workman has paid whatever fees the union decides ujif.ni, and agrees to regular deduction of union dues and assessments from his pay check. Fees, as in the case of one glass workers union, were shown to run as hign as ': :(.( as the price of obtaining the right to work as a glazier. ' ' :;,: With one-fourth of the states already pledged to .'iiarantee that any citizen may work at any job which U available and which he is qualified to hold, the next move is expected to come from Washington, where ac-t ac-t i. ui either permitting of banning the closed shop is certain to be taken in the early future. Which it shall he is not up to congress alone, but is dependent upon the sentiment of the general public. Sharon Stake Counselor vv y William C. Faulkner St " Presiaency Counselor Philo T.

I do not know how a daffodil is created. Yet each spring thousands of ! them are seen dancing in our i gardens. There is law in the garden. It is the law of creation. crea-tion. If we follow that law we deal in magic. We cannot see the stuff of which the daffodil is made, we need not care by what process it comes into being. If we take the dark brown bulb, plant it according to that law at the right time we achieve a miracle." Willi this faith and intimate knowledge of gardening and a desire to make gardening an interesting and enjoyable thing for others Roy E. Biles has ! made his book "The Complete Book of Garden Magic" valuable valu-able reading for those with kindred int'-rests- The Orem Library now has this book. For those who were never able to get a copy to read heretofore '"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn"" is now available to be checked out. "Earth and High Heaven" by Gwethalyn Graham is a very interesting- book for those who like intrigue and adventure. Children's books are needed very badly by the library.
