By Schoool News Reporter, , ) Mr. and Mrs. Raymond linker of Alberta, Utah accompanied by Miss Luella Baker who has been visiting at their home, also Miss Ruth Smith Directing the reading of small children is one of the most difficult tasks that comes to parents. Before the child learns to select good, wholesome. Instructive reading, it becomes necessary for the parents to assist in choosing the books, mag azines and paper which will be both entertaining and instructive. Most children experience an in satiable desire for ronding between the ages of eight and twelve. They pass througgh a period that might properly be termed the explorative period. It Is the time when they are driven through curiosity to find out as much as they can about their world. The desire to read often becomes so Intense at this time that the child is liable to give hU entire spare time to cheap, trashy stories in his ardent search for a "thrill." Providing the right kind of books in the home and suggesting reading for the child to get from other sources Is. without doubt, the right procedure to follow in developing a desire for good literature. Most children will appreclato a suggestion from their parents that will aslst them in their selections. A few generations ago the child could not secure enough good books to fill his reading time, while today he cannot find enough spare time to read all that he wishes. So many other things today enter into the daily life of the child that little time is left for reading. Perhaps one of the very best ways In which to encourage the reading of 1I f 4 Regional Conference of Red Cross Chapters of Utah and portions of Idaho, was held Wednesday, October 14, Ui Provo. In response to invitation from the Utah County chapter, greetings were mailed the first of the week by the secretary of Beaver Chapter, to Mr. A. L. Schafer, manager of the Pacific Branch area of the Red Cross, to be conveyed to the entertaining chapter. Mr. Schafer will address the conference on the high lights of the Jubilee Year of the Red Cross, and other speakers from National headquarters included Dr. William DeKlelne Medical Assistant to the Mrs. Mary Allen, recently Utah Field Representative, now executive secretary of the Salt Lake County chapter, and her successor, Ray L. Alston, were present. Mrs. Allen visited Beaver county on several official tours of the state, and is well remembered by many local persons. Mrs. Alston was in Beaver yesterday conferring with officials of the local chapter. Beaver Chapter is in receipt of acknowledgment of the shipment of two Christinas bags, of which the secretary of Volunteers Service says that the bags were "very good," expressing thanks for them and assurance that they will be greatly appreciated by the men who receive them at Christmas time. The Christmas g bag constitute one of the most services rendered by the Red Cross; and the local chapter has had a share in this project every year since It was first undertaken by the organization at large.

We have confined our actions, as havj all other counties in the state of Utah, who have been compelled to adhere strictly to the law, which law reads as follows: "POWER OF BOARD. The Board has powor, after giving notice in such manner as it may by rule prescribe, to increase or lower any assessment contained in any assessment book, so as to equalize the assessment of the property contained therein and make the assessment conform to the true value of such property in money. Said Board may remit the taxes of indigent persons, to an amount not exceeding $10.00 for the current year. "Assessor to be Remis- present. sion or abatement of Taxes. During the session of the Board, the Assessor and any Deputy whose testimony is needed must be present and may make any statement or introduce or examine witnesses or questions before the Board. The Board may remit or abate the taxes of any Insane, Idiotic, Infirm, or Indigent person to an amount not exceeding $10.00 for the current year. Harris F. D. Williams James Patterson C. F.

"The year of the great drought," as these past twelve or more months will be known to future generations, wrought great damage to millions. Not alone did the crops, which were burned in the fields in twenty-threstates, in the summer of 1930, deprive several million persons of food, but the drought disaster continued in the summer of 1931 in the northwestern states, and also brought other minor catastrophes in its wake, such as forest fires, and the grasshopper plague. More than a year has elapsed since the American Red Cross launched, in August, 1930, Its first moves Tor relief of the drought-strickefarmers, and in that time more than 2,750,000 persons were given food, clothing, med' leal aid, shelter or other type of assistance. At no period during this year were there fewer than 70,000 persons being aided and at the peak of the relief work on March 1, last, more than 2,000,000 persons were being helped. Today, still as a result of the drought, the Red Cross is giving extended relief In parts of North Dakota, Washington and Montana, where resources of hundreds of families were wiped out this past summer, when a second and more severe spell of dry weather was prolonged In that region. This drought relief presented the greatest task that has ever been undertaken by the Red Cross as a peace time activity. The Mississippi Valley flood of 1927, while more spectacular, and calling for relief of a costlier type, because homes and possessions were swept away, affected hardly the number of people who suffered because of the drought. In addition to the broad program of drought relief still being carried on, John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, has given the following suggestion to Chapter chairmen, In regard to unemployment relief: "Where there Is suffering and want from any cause and the fundamental local needs are not being met, Chapters may participate in the community plans tor meeting the need." Some type of general family relief, whether for the drought victims, the unemployed or the war veteran and his family, were carried on by more than 3,000 Red Cross Chapters last year, Judge Payne said. "The drought relief work of 1930-Jl,- " be added, "the relief now being extended following last summer's drought, principally In Montana and North Dakota; the assistance which men and Is being given to their families; and the part which several hundred Chapters are taking locally in their communities' relief measures are activities of the Red Cross, national and local, which have met and are meeting some of the serious needs of the present situation." e n one-fourt- h hospital Friday.
