R. A. .Braintree, July 1st, 1944 Utah papers with the news of President Petersons possible resignation the coming year have provoked some echos in Utah circles in Boston. Of course there is no reason given for the resignation except Mr. Fonnesbecks charge of favoritism which would have made interesting reading had he seen fit to amplify It. President Peterson's clarion philosophic call to the students Is perfectly In keeping with his administration. We think, however it would have been a most excellent opportunity for him to tell the students of his plans for the College, the years he has been working them out, end the years necessary for him to accomplish them, what he as a sexagenarian wants to bring about for the College and how near he is to seeing results. His supreme work, as we look on it, is to create a new type of college man and woman, the vocational type with enough background in science and humanities to be worthy of a college degree. Heaven knows Utah is producing enough vocational men and women but the college background has often seemed to us woefully lacking. We have known President Peterson for fourty years and have never heard him express himself forcibly and cogently on this subject. Never publicly or privately. He must have ideas on it. Thats his life work. One wonders why he has never published them, just as Earl Robinson used to wonder why the president never prepared beforehand his talks to students, depending on momentary inspiration from God above and usually only the monotonous clean. We have also adjective wondered why Pres. Peterson showed so little interest in the educational problems of each of his faculty. Can it be that when you turn vital work over to deans you lose all interest. Should not a president guide a dean? We recently met an English professor from Wilson college and asked her how her president stood out (Continued on page Two) Wool Pool to End Saturday Cache county wool producers were reminded today that Saturday will be the final day this year to sell wool through the Cache county wool pool, according to Leon Pond, Lewiston, chairman. He said earlier marketings have returned 40 cents per pound for wool free from seeds and burs, and the price is expected to remain about the same. A committee composed of the buyer, the owner of the wool and pool members, determine the grade of the product and whether or not deductions are to be made because of wool having seeds and burs. Farm flock owners who wish to market are advised to take their wool to the Utah-Idah- o Central railroad warehouse, South Main street, Logan, Immediately. The shipments and payments will be made Saturday morning. fust-ripeni- Hemlock Causes Death of Sheep t Hemlock the poison responsible for the death of that famed Greek Socrates is causing philosopher the death of sheep trailed through central Cache Valley, according to James O.

Report received In Logon indicated that final intensive drive are being staged in many aard and communities, and hope was expressed that the people of the county would see the urg.tuy of the situation and respond to their fullest ability. July 6 reports added Lewiston to the rosier of communities and wards which have reached their quotas. The Lewi.-- . lor. organization, headed by Lang ton Barber and B. T. Fond, has sold $59,750 in bonds, compared to a quota of $69,2at. Meanwhile, reports received from th War Finance Division m Ogden were that $32,239.00 In war bonds have been bought at Utah war plant by re dents of Cache county. This amount will be credited to the county but the only way the various wards or communities can receive credit on thej quotas la by having their solicitors obtain the number of the bond 'or the receipt and turn it In to bond headquarters in Logan with their sales report. This must be dime by Monday night, July 10, if credit is to be given, Mr. Hatch said. Ward and community leaders were urged to see that this is done.
