Why do supposedly mature men and boys of Utah find it necessary to waste $46,000 a year of state taxpayers' tax-payers' money by destroying highway signs with high powered rifles? This destruction ha3 reached such proportions that the State Road Commission has deemed it secessary to offer a reward of $100 for the conviction of anyone found resorting to this stupid pastime. Whenever a sign is defaced so badly that it has to be replaced, it costs $6 ti $9 of state money. Money that comes not only out of the pocket of Trigger-Happy Harry but yours and mine too! In addition there is the danger of some motorist not being able to distinguish a warning of some darigerous section of the highway, the result of which may be a nasty injury or even death. If a hunter is so lacking in self-control that he finds it necessary to indulge in the expensive luxury of blasting blast-ing road signs, he is not mentally old enough to handle or carry a gun. , ..... A NEW ISOLATIONISM? "Can Europe be defended?" That is the challenge which Senator Robert A. Taft has thown out on the heels of his rejection in a statement which implies that it couldn't and shouldn't, due to the high cost and difficulties diffi-culties involved. Such a question raised at this time when the world looks to" the United States for positive action against the threat of Communism in all parts of the world is unfortunate. That Senator Taft should spearhead a new isolationism isolation-ism by such a question is disappointing to many people who supported him on domestic issues and of grave concern con-cern to the free peoples of other nations who by it wonder won-der whether America is a reliable ally.- The suggestion by Mr. Taft that the United States has been secretly committed to defend Europe and may now renege is outrageous. It becomes necessary to ask Mr. Taft a few questions: Was the long debate over the North Atlantic Treaty secret? Was it the purpose of that pact to notify the free peoples of Europe that America would abandon them if Russia attacked? Was it meant to assure the Kremlin that America would stand by while its friends were picked off one by one? Has there been no publicity about the plans to set up a joint Aafeaaa system? Mr. Taft asks concerning the defenses of Europe: How many American soldiers will be required and what will be the additional cost?" Will he tell us how many American soldiers will be required and what will be the additional cost of defending America if all Europe's resources re-sources are alowed to go to Russia by default? Does he wish to insure that America shall be the battlefield? Does the Senator suggest that the United States follow fol-low a weaker policy in Europe than it is following, now in Asia? Would he abandon our friends to the possible fate of fighting the Russian bear single-handed ? Such a policy would be the repudiation of every effort we have made to stem the tide of Communism in Europe. It is morally wrong because it proposes not only to desert friends but to desert the principle of supporting peace by resisting lawlessness. MILITARY NOT ENOUGH Military preparedness alone is an inadequate answer to the problem. Communism inspires and enables its militant mil-itant preachers to exploit injustices and inequity among men. This ideology appeals, not to the Italian or Frenchman French-man or South American as such, but to men as human beings who become desperate in the attempt to satisfy common human needs. Therein it possesses a profound power for expansion. Wherever popular discontent is founded on group oppression or mass poverty or the hunger of children, there Communism may stage an offensive off-ensive that arms cannot counter . . . . the areas in which freedom flourishes will continue to shrink unless the supporters of democracy match Communist fanaticism with clear and common understanding that the freedom of men is at stake ; meet Communist regimented unity with the voluntary unity of common purpose .... and unnul Communist appeals to the hungry, the poor, the oppressed, with practical measures untiringly prosecuted prose-cuted for the elimination of social and economic evils that set men against men.

Hawker Chuck Peterson BACK TO THE GRIND Jo'" i "NOT A THING TO BE THANKFUL FOR" A THANKSGIVING STORY By Ethyl N. Hair Marge joined the WAVES on a dare and now she was regretting regret-ting it; she was desperately homesick. She couldn't eat or sleep. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her, except that strange lassitude that hovered over her of late. She was losing weight and goodness good-ness knows Marge had none to lose. Her eyes were listless, her skin usually full of color and youth was sallow. Marge was a lonj, long way from home, and she desperately wanted to see the home folks, if only for a day. It was nearing that grand time of the year, Thanksgiving time .... Mom would be fixing a 'banquet of a dinner and all the children would be home, except Marge. When she thought of it she was ill all over again. Indeed, Marge tried not to be a baby . . . she chidded herself "You're a big girl now Marge, don't cry," but it did no good, she kept right on being homesick. home-sick. True, there were people all around her, and activity galore, gal-ore, but as far as Marge could think there was not a thing to be thankful for while the homesickness home-sickness lasted. As the days passed it didn't wear all, but became more intense. On the weekend before Thanksgiving the gang threw a whing ding of a party. All were gay too gay. Marge got to wondering won-dering if the other gals and Uncle Sammy's boys ever" got over that terrible homesickness. So she left the party early and was laughed at because she was a spoil sport . . still the intense homesickness persisted. And then Thanksgiving rolled roll-ed around. There were sumpti-ous sumpti-ous dinners, much feasting and toasting. Marge's friends wondered won-dered what was happening to the little life of the party. They kidded her a lot. The hot tears were ever ready to flow down over rouged cheeks Marge was using too much lipstick Yet nothing she did helped that awful all-gone feeling in the pit of her stomach. The day wore on. Other WAVES and GL's were forcing their gaity . . . . but Marge couldn't -hers was gone; Marge was jaunty in her uniform, uni-form, it did nice things for her. She liked her work, too, which was exacting and a bit strenuous at times but surely that could not account for such longings as she now was experiencing. There had been a boy back home ... a school boy and girl affair that lasted all her young life. They had a lovers' quarrel but now that was patched up and forgotten. In her boot training train-ing days he called on his way to Korea, they had a glorious week of making plans and reminiscing. reminisc-ing. That was way back, months ago might as. well have been a thousand) years- He was now serving In the Air Corps in Korea Oh, lord, thought Marge, do wars have to go on forever? The evening shadows were leng-' leng-' herring and the festivities quieting quiet-ing down a bit so Marge made for her room and a gcgltgsy- A dejected looking girl with not a thing to be thankful for. "Now I can have a good howl." said Marge to herself as she threw herself on the bed and sobbed. SURPRISE surprise echoed familiar voices. Then Marge was in her mother's arms kmling like a baby, crying for sheer joy. Her mother shed a few tears then stood Marge off and demanded, "don't they feed you anything here? . . . why you're so thin, my poor baby." "Move back demanded Marge's father, "I'm dying for a kiss." So saying he hugged and kissed Marge as if she were a little girl again. And there was Sis a junior, looking like autumn and football, foot-ball, and school days. She had grown a lot and was cocky, as the very young with all life before be-fore them. "Sis," squealed Marfe, 'You brat you beautiful, beauti-ful, wonderful brat, how I have missed you." Then they all talked at once telling Marge all the home gossip. goss-ip. Marge just looked and listened. listen-ed. My, she thought, famiies are wonderful. Sis wanted to meet all the handsome captains and a few whee whoo GI's. A knock sounded at the door. It seemed far away and was ignored ig-nored for a while till it became more insistent. Marge opened the door and a boy handed her a telegram- Her heart stood stil while she signed for it. After Af-ter he left she held it long see-1 onds not daring to open it. Gently her father took the telegram tele-gram from her shaking hands and opened it his face lit up. "Your sweety pie says," he said to Marge, they are licking the daylights out of the enemy. He will have a furlough eventually event-ually says he loves you. if that means anything." Marge sat down on the edge of the bed and cried for fheer joy. The homesickness was gone. She was hungry, it was still Thanksgiving . . . and she had everything to be thankful for.

Wilford Larsen are spending Thanksgiving Thanksgiv-ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Guerney in Ephraim. Bishop C.
