We do not wish to think about the possibility of another war. We are tending to our business, making homes and raising families, and wish to be let alone in these absorbing tasks. The challenge that Communism is making to our democratic way of life is something that we would rather ignore, but cruel as it is to be disturbed, we cannot ignore this challenge. Communism is agressive. Its proponents are very active, and have been, under cover, for many that most of years past. Their plot is so deep-lai- d our troubles today such as labor unrest, lowering of moral standards, disregard for law and order, disrespect for private property, the great striving by many people to get something for nothing-- all can be traced to Communistic efforts to weaken us in our way of life. Regardless of how it may be pictured, or under what name it may be known, Communism is totalitarianism. Their concepts of government and rights for individuals run exactly opposite to ours. Our country is great. It is strong. It is happy. Russia is large, not so strong, and UNhappy. Our system has proved successful in bringing happiness to the individual. From what we can find out, the individual Russian is not so well off. As two very effective steps in fighting back our enemy, we endorse the restrictions placed up- on labor unions in the hill now before Congress, Truman Doctrine to help any and the nation with our resources which is in danger of Russian encroachment. It is our opinion that we must openly defend our happy way of life. We must support the ideals that have brought us, a capitalistic nation, to our present condition where the inidvidual is supreme and free to live his life as he wishes. o Utahs Highway Patrol No one knows better when, why, where and how accidents happen than the 66 members of the Utah Highway Patrol who cover the states net- 5,489 miles of paved roads. Their intimate daily experience with recklessness and sudden death on the highways lends weight to their observations on the cause and prevention of traffic accidents. You, as a Utah driver, can expect to live longer or go unmaimed by applying the advice of these safety officers to your own driving. work WASHINGTON. Anniversary One hundred and eighteen years ago a heavenly messenger appeared to two young men on the banks of the Susquehanna River and told them that his name was John, the same who was called the Baptist in the New Testament. He laid his hands upon their heads and conferred upon them the Priesthod of Aaron, that would give them the power to baptize for the remission of sins and do many other things in accordance wltu the functions of that priesthood. . Few in that day were aware of such an extraordinary event, and perhaps none could foresee what the results of this visitation would be. But today we are in a position to realize to a great extent its significance by the magnitude of the results. There are now 225,000 holders of the Holy Priesthood, 100,000 of whom belong to the Aaronic priesthood. Besides these there are other hundred thousands who have passed away, and who were also beneficiaries of its power. Who can measure the effect that this calling and responsibility of service has had upon their lives except to say that it has yeen notable. If there have been put into the hearts of these young men a greater desire to do good; a greater desire for wisdom and knowledge; a higher sense of responsibility to their Maker and their fellow men; a stronger urge to live righteously; more power to resist evil; the influence has been good. There is little doubt that this influence upon the ing and way of living can be attributed to the priesthood they have held and the reverence they have had for it. They are better citizens and more faithful and devoted disciples of the Master than they might otherwise have been. e. Worthy of note also are the great strides that have been made in the improvement of Aaronic Priesthood leadership in the Church, whereby a better understanding of boys has been achieved and more effective methods of guiding them into higher ideals of manhood and finer opportunities of service to their fellow men. Priesthood means service. o Highway patrolmen say that many accidents are caused by not properly interpreting the intentions of other drivers and by cutting in too quickly after passing a car. Driving while intoxicated Is a criminal act. Reckless driving and speeding is dangerous under any conditions. Even on a stretch of open road where a high rate of speed is a temptation, a mechanical failure or blowout usually spells DEATH. Our Seminaries , This month is witnessing the graduation One of the most significant things General Marshall folreported to President Truman was Moscow from return his lowing his impression that the Russians are stalling for time, banking on a depression in the United States. Stalin didnt tell this-t- o Marshall, although he did emphasize that the Russians were quite willing to have the peace talks continue for some time. However, the secretary of state is convinced that an American economic depression is the chief thing the Russians are waiting for. An American depression would mean three things: (1) Converts for the Communist system in the U. S.; (2) weakening the United States in the eyes of Europe, and (3) strengthen-- j ing the Communist system-n- ow none too strong in Russia. All this is one reason why Truman has been getting many reports from his council of economic advisers and has made repeated appeals for price reduction. Marshall has impressed listeners with one important thing his own increased assurance. Before going to Moscow he seemed unsure of himself in'his new role of diplomat. But those who listened to him at the White House and over the radio felt that the Moscow conference had -given the military - man turned new a peacemaker Marshall felt he had been psychologically wise in waiting until nearly the end of the conference before seeking an audience with Generalissimo Stalin. Other foreign ministers had asked for an interview early in the conference, but Marshall said he deliberately held back. It kept the Russians guessing, he explained. Marshall said he himself had done most of the talking during his Stalin interview. He had outlined the American position not to abandon our interest in Europe and explained that American objectives were a matter of determined principle upon which we are not prepared to yield. Russian disregard for earlier commitments, he said, was seriously straining relations between tiie two countries. Stalin, Marshall reported, listened quietly and gravely, at no point resentful of the Americans blunt lan-- 1 guage. Stalin said little, beyond elaborating on the 'belief that a possible area of agreement can be reached after both sides had exhausted their arguments. 1 Here are some warnings they pass along. Dont let yourself go through a red light or stop street. Be courteous; dim your lights. Don't pass cm a hill, curve, or when another vehicle is approaching. Keep on your side of the center line. Be sure you are in the proper lane before making a turn, and always give the proper hand signal. Many accidents happen when these common sense rules are violated.
