Provo Post NO. 105 PROVO CITY, UTAH, TUESDAY, 2a presenting to our patrons the annual Christmas number of The Post, we find 'condi- fault and have met war time regulations " tions far different from those of any other year. The activities of the people during the past year !have been varied, but have at all times been for for the winning of the war..

"With the Red Cross taking the lead, all the organizations have - made themselves auxiliary, with the result that Provo and Utah cunty have saved the nation .thousands of dollars and have rendered service that' could not have been . otherwise given. " f ( Industrial enterprise and community de-velopment have been in the background. Our ingood roads campaign, the promotion of new dustries, the development of civic activities for the pleasure of our people, have been forced into the background in order that the Commercial club might devote itself entirely to government aid. The members of this worthy organization havetakepfthe lead in "Liberty loan drives, . Thrift stamp. campaigns,, and Led.

They have been generous to aj curtailments without a murmur. Many of our strongest institutions have been called upon for much of their competent" help, for the selective draft made favorites of none. Even our, manufacturing establishments parted freely with men and made no effort to exercise industrial exemption. , Our farmers and fruitgrowers, too, met the unusual, demand -- for- men without j a -- murmur, the women, they yet with 4 he were able to harvest, bumper crops,, and by so doing, were capable of meeting .

Thegreat work of the past year has been accomplished through united effort, and the willingness on tl e part of the people generally to do their full share'.- - They have overlooked many things which under ordinary -- conditions - would cause division. For all have realized that upon the success of American arms depended the of the nation, and elso that our assistance was imperative to the success of liberty and justice throughout the wprld. "With the war ended victoriously the nation must meet a reconstructive period. x The state, the county and the city all have their problems to meet, for our nations future success depends largely upon the manner in which each innumerable unit adjusts its own affairs for fu , quasi-industria- l.
