TEN MILLION PROIECT !. 54 4 DOLLAR IS ASSURED; APPROVE DEER CREEK vi' Robert Elliott, new manager of the Home Loan office of Provo, is in of a letter from Representative J. W. Robinson m Washington, D. C. Mr, Robinson writes: We are having a real struggle with the Deer Creek project. but feel assured that we are going to bring home the bacon. It mav take another week or two. however. Governor Blood and Mr. Wallace both are working with me, and are now resttes. to.be back in Utah. But we must still iron out one or two difficult spots. It has been a real job and has required help from every source which we could use. however, unless something unforeseen develops, I believe that within another week or two we will have some definite results on the Deer Creek project." "There is, perhaps, no relief project proposed by the government which would' mean as much as this otie to the residents of Sharon" stake. Aside from assuring a more constant water supply for irrigation purposes, it would create employment for the next three or four years for hundreds of our people, who are now, unable to find employment. There also would he camps established which would ue much of our surplus produce. The matter is now out" of our hands to encourage or prevent, hut we certainly hope nothing stops its passing. - f $4.00.00. PAID UTAH PROVO, NO. It Fas been said that the measure of a great man can be taken by noting his reasons for doing things. If he does them only because he can see some benefit for himself as a result, he is a small man. If he does them out of sheer joy in seeing others who need it helped, he is a great man. This year we are all budgeting and hunting for means of supplementing our resource's for the winter. Some of us are so concerned that the world has become for, us a place in which nothing happens, but struggles for money every man for himself, and the wolf take the hindmost. In the midst ,of this struggle, there comes a group of people bearing aloft a Red Cross on a flag of white and saying. Give, if you can, to those" less fortunate than yourselves." And out of the pity of their hearts some will give for the sheer joy of seeing others helped, and, in that respect, approach greatness. Needless to say, to those whose hearts are opened, comes also opened eyes, and the world, a moment before mad in the struggle for money, becomes a world filled with the beauties that can only be seen through the eyes of love for ones fellow men. The needy of Sharon Stake have drunk deeply from the cup filled ty the Red Cross. The Relief Society the materials hag been distributing giyen, and testify that the relief work heeded last year could not possibly have been done without the help of that orHere is a list of materiganization. als received last year: One thousand six hundred twenty-nin- e articles, such as sox, stockings, underwear, overalls, sweaters, blankets, quilts and shirts.

The Board of Directors were delighted with the response of the drive made in October. A team of twenty solicitors has been So far working for memberships. Timpanogos ward leacsf with a membership of 73 families, or 59 per cent of the families in the ward. Sharon has 61 families, or 49 per cent; Vineyard, 35 per cent; Edgemont, 24 per cent; Lake View, 12 per cent; Pleasant View, 12 per cent; Grand View, 7 per cent. Several has applied for membership in November, which will help reach the quota of 50 per cent, if all the old members' continue. We are, of course, very anxious that this number be reached, so that the association may be able to meet the budget proposed in the last issue of The Voice of Sharon. During the month of November, new members mayagain join for one dollar, without paying any further assessments. There are five fine programs to be given. People" wonder how such good entertainments can be put on at such a low cost. The answer is simple Cooperation! It also must be remembered thereis a large group of people who are giving their time and talents free of charge to make it possible for all people in the stake to have these fine entertainments at this low cost. Now is the time to cooperate. Join the association and take advantage of the greatest recreational and educational program ever offered.

They are, reading from right to left: Dean A. Johnson, first counselor; Bishop Ernol W. Williamson, Thomas W. Peese, second counselor; standing, T. Leonard Johnson, ward clerk. Lake View ward is fifth in size in Sharon Stake, with a population of 385. . Within the last few years a very commodious amusement hall has been erected and paid for. The ward organizations are all functioning well. We believe that Bishop Williamson and his counselors enjoy a most healthy cooperation of all the members of their ward. . PRESIDENT GRANT ATTENDS QUARTERLY CONFERENCE; TWO STAKES Utah Stake joined with Sharon in quarterly conference on October 16 to hear inspiring .addresses by President Heber J. Grant and Bishop John Wells of the Presiding The Bishopric. Priesthood session of the conference was held in the Lincoln IRgh School auditorium, to which all the sisters of the stake were incited.

Stresses Honesty President Grant urged honesty in personal thinking, and also the importance of loyalty among the Latter-da- y Saints, both to themselves and to the ideals of their faith. Bishop Wells Speaks Bishop John Wells, during the Sun-ja- y afternoon session, gave a splendid talk dti tithing. He related some very interesting and inspiring incidents relative to the payment of tithing, and urged the members of the church to pay their tithes immediately upon receipt of their income... ..The speaker also stressed, honesty in the payment . of tithing.

As the repeal of the eighteenth amendment surges forward, more attention must he directed to the control of alcoholic traffic. ' Even the mot ardent repealist would not want a return to the evils of the saloon days. Possibly the most deadly objection against rcpealrsts is their negin oqr lect to have even proposed, state at least, a single control to replace prohibition. In many states there are already boards organized, and working on plans for control of alcoholic beverages. Delaware, for example, has a plan whereby hard liquor may be purchased only bottled, in gOvernment stores, fo r consumption off the premises. Beer and wine may be in restaurants or hotels, purchased with meals. To puictiase liquor for home use in Sweden, the applicant must slate whether his taxes have been paid, how many in his family, etc. If these answers are satisfactory, a permit is isued for the purchase of only as much as the answers indicate they is revoked for need. -- This permit drunkenness. Many states are proposing a definite scheme of temperance education which was largely abandoned after "bis education should be prohibition, truthful, fact presenting and unemotional. Schools and colleges should make a scientific study (which was begun in days) .of the effects of alcohol on the body. We hope the old saloon will never gome back anything but that! This is the fervent cry of all sincere and well meaning people. Against the saloon were many grave charges. Its secrecy and its back rooms were veritable breeding grounds for vice and lawlessness yet it functioned as a poor mans club, and hence flourished. If repeal comes, which is inevitable. a definite program should be worked out and announced immediately by the leaders of the repealists. To destroy an institution, even though very imperfect, without attempting to rebuild Those another, is almost fanaticism. who cling to prohibition would be glad to listen to other plans that might be proposed which would better solve our liquor problem but, so- far, we have failed to hear the plat).- - The Pafent-Teach- organization of the Lincoln district, collaborating with the Chamber of Commerce, the Alpine School Board, the Lincoln Junior High School, the Spencer School and the Sharon Stake Scouts and Vanguards, in building ofa Memorial Grove on the acre plot lying to the west of the Spencer School.

JOLLEY CHOSEN , BISHOP OF SHARON ,At the special conference called by President Watkins on October 1, Bishop O. H. Anderson and his counselors, J. H. Finch and William S. Park, were released from their duties a leaders of the .ward. Bishop Anderson's' ' duties will take him away from the ward a great deal of the tiiye, which would prevent his holding hi office. As we look back" over the years, nearly five of them, we can begin to appreciate the services thee men have given the people of Sharon ward.

All of us join in thanking them for their years of loyalty to the church and ward;' for a keen desire andwill- - " mgness to Help the young people; for advice and sympathy to those in need of it.
