Hafiz Just smile, it's worth while. O.B.J. "IF I HAD A SON" The following three short paragraphs are from a speech of Mr. J. Edgar Hoover published in the magazine "Woman's Day," for June, 1938. These words by a man who knows America's crimes and criminals better than anyone else in the world should be heeded by every parent of a son or daughter. "I'd try to be absolutely fair with my son, and to the extent of my capacity, I'd try to be understanding. under-standing. Boys will get into trouble now and then. They can't help it. So if my boy made an honest mistake I wouldn't punish him unless he lied about it. "I'd have a few rules, but they'd be enforced. After studying literally hundreds of thousands of cases, I've been forced to the conclusion that family dicipline is the exception rather than the rule today. Boys don't become bad overnight. They get away with little things because their parents are too careless or too soft to punish them. Presently the little offenses become big offenses. "I think that life nowadays is often too easy for a child. Parents make the mistake of attempting to protect their children and shower too much kindness on them. I think every child should have certain definite duties to perform, if it's nothing more than mowing the lawn or spading the garden. Dishwashing isn't a pleasant chore, but a child who persistly evades it reduces his mother to the level of a servant. A boy with responsibilities at home gains pride. After all, the home is not only a place of living, it's a place of learning. It's there and not in schools that children are fitted for the burdens they must bear later." OLD VEXATIONS It matters not at all today That once from school he ran away. And once, with mischief in his head, He trampled down my zinnia bed. Though I was very angry then, I'd gladly know such care again. As one who dreams, I now recall The things he did when he was small The jam he spilled upon the spread His buttons, hanging by a thread All meaning extra tasks for me, And then, how cross I used to be! It fretted me when he appeared With hands and face and garments smeared, I thought, "Tis deep disgrace to know A child who comes to table so." But now I wonder what I'd say At seeing him like that today. And now I wonder what I'd think Were he again to spill the ink, Or come, as in the days long gone To me to sew his buttons on. I would appreciate, at last Those sweet vexations of the past! Edgar A. Guest. O. B. JOYFUL Special Program In Fourth Ward Bishop Lester M.

The Lehi City Beautification Committee, headed by Leo Hanson, and chosen by the mayor and city council to assist in the forthcoming forthcom-ing centennial celebration, today are making known details of the fall clean-up campaign announced in the Sun two weeks ago. The campaign, as outlined by Mr. Hanson, is as follows: In order to enlist the help of every Lehi resident in the activities activ-ities of beautifying our city the committee has adopted the following follow-ing program: I. Clean-up Week The week of Monday, November 4th to Saturday, the 9th, inclusive, has been selected as the most time ly period for the clean-up, paint-up fix-up activities. It was felt that this date would permit of more general participa tion. And it is expected that every resident of Lehi will observe some portion of the week by attending to the many jobs that have to do with making the home and sur roundings more attractive. The entire state expects this , community, and all other commu nities, to get in line and do a thorough job of beautification. We are getting ready for Utah's greatest celebration. Lehi is centrally cen-trally located and important railways rail-ways and highways pass through here. Thousands upon thousands of fellow Utahns and tourists are going to "look us over." Wre want pleasant impressions to be formed. Let's pull together in getting this clean-up task underway! II. Inspection of Premises Immediately after the clean-up week there will be an inspection of all individual premises in Lehi. The Lehi Riding Club, the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Lehi Lions Club will help in making mak-ing this inspection. They will be under the supervision and direction of the various Ward chairmen of the Beautification Committee. These men are: FIRST WARD: H. A. Anderson, Bishop Evans Anderson, An-derson, Ivan Thueson; SECOND WARD: A. B. Anderson, Bishop Cecil Ash; THIRD WARD: George Price, Bishop George Ricks, Elliott Smith; FOURTH WARD: Ed. Johnson, Bishop L. M, Norberg; FIFTH WARD: M. S. Lott, Bishop E. B. Garrett. These chairmen will make block or area assignments to the mem bers of the above-mentioned or ganizations. Each resident will help in the in spection of his own premises and will keep a copy of the score sheet showing the results of the inspec tion. Next April there will be a second or final inspection recorded on this same score sheet. The improvement im-provement we make will be shown in the difference in these two scores. We must all aim to get just as many credit marks and just as few debit marks as possible pos-sible by that time. Then on May 1st, 1947, we hope to turn over to the General, or Central Committee of Lehi, a city that is just as clean and attractive as we, the people of Lehi, can pos sibly make it. We look forward to, and shall plan for, appropriate May Day observance on this occasion. We are honoring the sturdy Pioneers who made our homes in this valley possible. We can do this most fittingly by starting in our own back yards and doing a thorough job from the back fence right out to the middle of the street in front of our homes. PLEASE COOPERATE!!!
