Our own importance. - Twenty five thousand dollars to be spent on the Vineyard to' Edgemont highway, and work to begin w ithin ten days is the good news that comes from the state road commission. The money will be spent and the improvement made on force ofaccount, rather than contract, it was explained by commission comcalled on the who of Voice Sharon a ficials, to representative mission officials at the capital in Salt Lake recently. The program calls for grading and graveling the road preparatory to laying an oil mulch surface and will begin on the west end of the road at Vineyard and end at the Provo river bridge just east of Provo bench. The money available makes it impossible to go any further this year but the commission plans to finish the job just as soon as funds are available. The highway from the river bridge to the canyon road in Edgemont presents a difficult problem, the officials declare. The approach and junctions with the paved canyon road in Edge-mowill cost an immense sum of money if the union is made at right angles to the highway for the reason that the canyon road runs .along the edge of the east bench. An immense fill would be required to make a practical grade. This problem will receive further study by the engineers before definite plans are made. Road officials explained that the recent announcement of improvements, without mentioning the Vineyard to Edgemont project, which Would be all that would be undertaken this year, - PRES. S. O. BENNION and which was the subject of our editorial last month, concerned federal state highways only. The $25,000 appropriated for the' Vineyard-Edgemoimprovement ccmes from state funds entirely, it was stated.

U. 1, 1935 (Editorial) Not many months ago our local paper, published at Provo, thrilled us all with pride when it declared that notwithstanding the new liquor law was designed to permit newspapers to print hard liquor advertising, it would have rwone of it. This was right, we thought. It was in keeping with the spirit of the community which has long prided itself on being the mtellecu-a- l and moral center of the mountain west. With its great church university opening its doors and beckoning to the youth of the West, it has been Provos ambition, which has largely been realized, to provide temporary homes for these ambitious youths, which would be in keeping and in harmony with the high ideals of the university. Nature has been kind to this section. Its wonderful four season climate, with all the natural surroundings of lake, canyon, mountain, and excellent homes provide a physical setting with hardly anything left to be desired. Into such a setting, plus the spiritual athmosphere, it seemed then that the declared policy of the Herald fitted perfectly. As a public utility almost as important as power, it would help keep the community a fine environment for the incoming youth and its own citizens. But something happened. Several months back there began to appear more or less inconspicious hard liquor advertising in its columns with an increase each week until a short time ago there appeared in one issue nine different hard liquor display advertisements, with a total of one hundred fifty-on- e column inches almost a full page. Probably no one has a legal right to question this change of policy, as Mr. Hugh Brown, chairman of the liquor sion, advises that it is lawful to publish whisky advertising providing it is done in a dignified manner. But one can hardly be blamed for wondering why the only paper in a college and home community such as Provo would renounce its declared policy and fill its coluihns with enticements to drink. It can hardly be a question of meeting competition, as we are advised that none of the larger papers of the state accept such advertising. Questioning the propriety of such advertising is not Even the most radical .jvejs have prnhib'Hrmint denounced any attempts to aggresively secure new recruits to the liquor habit. Only those who had to have it were to be ioketi care of under the new law. New drinkers will come in sufficient numbers without solicitation. Surely the demands of dividcndiungry, owners for more profits should not control the policy of an institution as venerable and necessary to community life as is the Herald. It comes into our homes now where it has been welcome many years, not as the clean fine friend it used to be, but tainted. The Voice of Sharon regrets the apparent death of the praiseworthy resolution of our friend.

Considerable crease in number of members was noted. H. Grant Ivins, president of the Association, presided at the meeting and rendered an annual report. He outlined the objectives of the organization and stated that considerable growth had been made during the past year. A detailed report of the operations of the Association had been outlined on the black board. A discussion of the report followed, members asking questions and explanations being made by members of the board of trustees. The report showed a membership gain of T6 percent.
