Y From July, 1941, until March, 1942 he was enmployed as an investigator in the office of the governor, later being transferred to the state road commission as right-of-way agent. In August of 1942 he joined the armed forces and was released on a medical discharge in April of 1943 following fol-lowing a leg operation. On returning from the service he was employed by the state highway department as director i .TURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1948 of public relations and was appointed ap-pointed chairman of the commission commis-sion in March, 1945. He served for a number of years on the Utah county central Democratic committee. Mr. Leavitt was born in Gun-lock, Gun-lock, Washington county, in 1905, of pioneer parents. He was educated in the public schools of Utah and Nevada. During his early life, after leaving his father's farm, he was engaged in highway construction and mining. He worked in the underground mines of Bingham canyon until 1925, and was employed em-ployed off and on by the Tintic Standard Mining company at Dividend, Utah, from 1925 to 1940. He served two terms as president of the Tintic District Miners union local No. 151 of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers.

Loveless. Love-less. For several years prior to 1923 the fanners on Provo Bench had realized the need for some sort of organization to obtain ob-tain better prices for the fruit JUVENILE DELINQUENCY From time to time we hear the thought that children are no worse than they have always been, and that there is nothing the matter with them except excess ex-cess animal spirits, and that they will all come out all right in grown in this area. Several buyers buy-ers were coming each year to buy fruit but would make no offer of-fer until the fruit was so ripe the farmers had to sell at any price or accept a total loss. In 1923, 12 or 15 farmers began be-gan the Timpanogos Cooperative Marketing Association. Russell Homer acted as manager during the first year and these farmers got equally high or higher prices than those who did not belong. Each year more farmers joined the organization and better prices were received. The net receipts of the association during 1947 totaled over $120,000. Nearly $90,000 was paid to the growers in this area. time. i The figures of the F.B.I, and other crime prevention agencies do not bear out this optomistic thought. Youngsters these days are not the same as they were a generation ago. Easy money, lack of parental supervision and the excitement of wartime have produced a different juvenile problem with which we must contend. If we take the age between 12 and 21, we discover that this group represents only 15 of our population. Yet in 1943 that 15 of our population accounted account-ed for 65 of the automobile thefts. This 15 also committed 55 of all the burglaries. Thirty-nine per cent of all the robberies rob-beries were committed by them. They were guilty of 37 of all malicious cases of destruction by fire. Add to these figures 13 of all murders and you have a picture which is enough to horrify any parent or any citizen interested in the future of our nations. These figures show that chil dren between 12 and 21 are our worst criminals. Further investigation investi-gation shows that 17-year-old boys and 18-year-old girls com mitted a greater number of crimes than any other age group. These were not necessarily underprivileged children. Many of them were high school stu dents who committed crimes for the sake of thrill and adven ture. In many cases, complacent parents in the upper social brac kets found to their sorrow that! their own children, both boys and girls, were locked up in jail. Certainly ycuth work is the great need in the world today. Error always addresses the passions and prejudices: truth scorns such mean intrigue, and only addresses the understanding understand-ing and the conscience.

Sends Geologist to Mining Meet An investigation into the costs, sibsidies, import fees and incen tives in the American Mining Industry In-dustry is now being carried out by the Sennte Public Lands Committee. Following a request to Governor Herbert B. Maw that Utah be represented, tho Utah Department of Publicity and Industrial development has sent its geologist, Alfred M. Bur-anek Bur-anek of the Raw Meterials Divi sion, to Denver to attend the hearings. Buranek, who works under the supervision of Commissioner Com-missioner Arthur L. Crawford, will present pertinent testimony relative to Utah's mining activi ties during the past ten years. Mormons Credited for Naming Joshua Tree "Fortnight," a California news magazine, credits the Mormons for the name "Joshua" as applied ap-plied to the thorny trees of the Southwest desert. A current issue is-sue of the publication says: "The Joshua is still relatively undiscovered undis-covered by the tourist. Named (probably by the Mormons) . . . it has been part of the National Parks system since 1938 . . ." The Utah Department of Publicity Pub-licity points out that few Utahns are aware that the Beehive State has a Joshua forest. Utah's area of prickly trees starts 20 miles west of St. George and spreads out over thousands of acres of Utah mountain and desert land in the extreme southwest corner of the state. Traversed by High way U. S. 91, the Joshua forest is an interesting sight to tourists.

Clipping Bureau Turns up Interesting Utah Items Subscribing to a national clip ping service, the Utah Department Depart-ment of Publicity occasionally receives out-of-state clippings, which indicate Utah's growing popularity as a news and feature source. The January 3 issue of the Christian Science Monitor, published in Boston, Massachu setts, carries a full page picture of Alta and skiers in action on the cover of Its magazine sec tion. The picture Is a reproduction reproduc-tion of a water color by Dwight C. Sheplar, well-known Eastern artist, and is in color. It Is noted. however, that the word Alta is spelled "Altah." While the matter of the city of Wendover trying to secede from Utah Is ancient history locally, lo-cally, some feature writer worked work-ed his imagination overtime and went to he trouble of doing an. illustrated story on the subject. For example, an Ohio paper comes out with a two-column map of Utah, the entire western quarter of which is shaded and which, the captain points out, is a section of the state that wants to secede from Utah and become an "Autonomous District of Shangri-La" so that its 2100 people san "live and act as they want." To the folks living in the western quarter of Utah, bounded bound-ed on the north by Idaho and the south by Arizona, this is certainly cer-tainly news, and indicates the extent to which out-of-state writers will go to cash in on Utah's feature value.
