So anything we might say about one of our greatest national holidays will sound like an afterthought. By the time most of you see this, you'll probably be too full of turkey to care, anyway.

Let's start this year a traditional Christmas project of lighting every home in Midvale with Christmas lights and decorations. If every home will display a window wreath and at least one outdoor red and one green light, and those who can will light and decorate their porch or their evergreen shrubs or their home, we will have a great community project started that will grow each year till everyone in Utah will know of Midvale, the Friendly City, the City of Clirist-ma- s Lights.

Judging will be done sometime during the Christmas week at different times in different parts of the city. There will be no schedule of judging, so just be sure your lights are on. A couple of dark houses at the wrong moment could cost your block a prize, or disqualification for not having enough lighted homes to reach the 75 per cent required. If you didn't come downtown Sunday morning, you missed the best fun of the season. Business men were out in force, sweeping streets, mixing paint, painting gle stripes on the sidewalks to guide the motorist in parking, areas that painting out were established with the parallel-parkinsystem. By the time they were through, some of the business men had more paint on themselves than on the street! g Nothing in yc,ars has stirred up so much comment mostly bad as the parallel parking. And after less than two months' trial the system has been discarded. Some feel that the Chamber of Commerce, in recommending the para llel system, was a year or two ahead" of its time, and that sooner or later parallel parking will come to stay in Midvale as well as in every other town. It proved to be a bugaboo to shoppers, and merchants quickly recognized that the customer is always right, and gave the custom- Home Lighting Street Decorations To Go Up Soon Yuletide lighting of streets in the business district began to get attention this week with a checkup of the materials previously purchased. Some repairs and replacements will be necessary, but no additional decorations are planned for this year. Both the city and the Chamber of Commerce have had heavy ex- penses this year, and as joint sponsors of the lighting costs, have agreed not to expand the Christmas decorating scheme this sea- A new type of home lighting contest in Midvale, which is expected to become an annual affair, was announced this week by the Chamber of Commerce. Every home within the city limits is asked to participate in the contest and help make the city a blaze of lights throughout the holi- day season. Each block, on both sides of the street, between corners, will be considered as a unit A unit must have a minimum of 12 homes, and where there are not 12 homes in one block, another adjacent block will be combined with it. Every resident is to decorate his own home, and at least 75 per cent of the homes in a unit must be decorated in order to make the unit eligible. Judging will be done in the evenings, sometime during Christmas week. The unit judged the best in tht city will get prizes for every person living in the unit Everyone, including children, will get free tickets to the Burk Theatre in Midvale. In addition, there will be individual prizes for the six homes in the city judged the best decorated and lighted.

City employes will hang the decorations, and employes of the Utah Power and Light Co. will connect the lights to power sources. As before, the U. P. 4 L.

Coach Curtice, who was accompanied by Andy Everest, freshman coach at Utah, commented that this year's schedule was the toughest Utah ever played, yet the team had five games that went by a single point, with Utah winning one of them and losing five. "In a season like this," he added, "we find out which people like athletics and which ones only want to win." He praised his boys for being the type who could "get socked in the nose one week' and bounce back the next to "beat somebody they aren't supposed to beat" The program was concluded with the showing of colored movies taken of the game, which Utah won t Utah-Orego- n 7-- Journalist Students Confer Tuesday at Mt.
