Only when our lives are measuring up to the best we know, despite unfortunate and trying situations, then only have you conquered self and are realizing the joy of living whicn is the purpose of existence. True life is the principles of Christ, lived. There i no other life that is true, Pre ident Lee said. He defined an able man, the true measure of a man, as one who feats in God, loves the truth and hates covetousness. Fear to Offend God One who fears God is one who fears what would offend God, he said. He said many are offending God by failing to keep our bodies, the temple of God, holy. Those who prostitute virtue and disregard the laws of chastity, who defile the r bodies and waste 'heir substance by riotous living . . . will learn the bitterness of having to eat husk with the swine. Nothing can ever compenstate for enfeebled minds, broken bodies and broken homes in violation of the standard of society and the laws of God, for the wages of sin is dea'h, President Lee said.

Rampton said one of the major problems the next legislative session will face is a revamp of the formula for financing secondary and elementary education. He said in fairness and right the state needs to further equalize educational opportunity. It is highly important we send to the legislature members who are dedicated to the cause of education, that will work for their home county and will work just plain hard in general, he said. About 300 persons attended the convention, and there were 243 authorized county delegates. The county sends 147 delegates to the Democratic State Convention June 7 in Salt Lake City. 16-1- Keystone to Victory Davis County may peihaps be a keystone to a congressional victory. Two years ago the county gave a Democratic majority to Sen. Frank E. Moss by 3,000 votes, but switched over to support the unsuccessful Republican candidate, Richard Richards, by about 100 votes. This was still interpreted as a strong showing for Democratic Rep. K. Gunn McKay. Congressman McKay said he was unable to attend the convention. Representatives of the major contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey and George W. McGovern, made appeals to die delegates for support. There was an obvious indication of many younger delegates pledged to the McGovern campaign. Milton L. Weikenmann, director of tiie State Department of Development Services, was Ihe keynote speaker, centering on what he teimed was an unfulfilled promise of President Nixon to end the war in Vietnam. Downtown Project City Replaces Dead Trees, Installs 14 Planter Boxes Working early Friday to avoid traffic, Salt Lake City Parks Department news placed 14 planter boxes on Main, Broadway and South Temple containing new Uees to ipplace dead or dying tiees. Salt Lake City Parks Commirioner Conrad B. Harrison said another 20 planter boxes with trees will be installed early Sunday morning. The new trees aie Austrian pine, spruce and cannarti juniper. The trees cost $425 and are part of a project by the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. Donations were made by business firms and interested citizens. City to Care for Trees Mr. Harrison said the trees will be fertilized and watered by the City Paiks Department. The planter boxes in the downtown central business district were originally part of a joint project by the Salt Lake City Jaycees and Retail Merchants Assn. Stanford P. Drager, executive secretary, Salt Lake City Retail Merchants Assn., said, The downtown area is a critical area for trees because of the exhaust fumes from automobiles. The trees must ne planted in concrete boxes because there are basements under many of the sidewalk areas. Because their roots are confined, the trees in the boxes dont grow as well as those Wagstaff Get City Project II. R.
