This is the time of year we begin thinking about snow and skating and skiing. The leaves have about all fallen from the trees and everyone is donning their winter woolens. The farmers are finishing their fall harvest and the tlmehas come to give thanks for the wonderful crop. Thanksgiving to many of us means school vacation, a big feast, seeing relatives, and hearing the football games. This isnt all of it. This is the time for thanking the Lord for his many blessings. Of course, we should pray every day, but this is a special day for prayer. We all know the story of the Pilgrams making friends with the Indians and having a feast. Well, they were giving thanks for their food and for their peace. At the present time we are threatened with war, therefore, we should all be thankful for the fact that we have peace.

Class Enjoys Trip On the morning of November 3, the Problems of Democracy class under the direction of Mr. Young, left on a Geneva bus for the field trip they had long awaited. First they stopped at the State Industrial School, where they saw the less fortunates of our state. Here boys and girls attend classes and enjoy recreation together. There are only three other schools of this particular type in the nation. The state has just completed a new girls dorm and are renovating the boys dormitory. The next stop was at the State School for the Deaf and Blind, at Ogden. Here they saw a fine demonstration of how children with these handicaps are taught to lead normal lives. The children put on a few demonstrations. The class again boarded the bus for the Federal Indian School at Brigham City. Here they saw boys and girls from 12 to 18 years of age who are just learning to read and write their own names. Boys and girls who had never seen a school before or had the opportunity of learning are now being taught at the expense of the U. S. government. After they have completed their training at this school, jobs will be found for them, according to their quallfi-catoin- s. A very fine program was put on by the P.D. class while at this school. Later they swam in a pool which cost the government $347,000 to construct. This school furnished sleeping rooms, meals were purchased at the workers dining hall. The next morning the class went for a tour of the grounds. While on the tour they saw a sewage disposal unit which is one of the finest in the United states. This completed their first field trip of the year.
