The agreement states that the period set aside for the Red Cross membership begins on Armistice Day and ends on Thanksgiving Day when the Christmas Seal Sale opens, extending until after Christmas. Officials explain that the Christmas Seal was first sold on a nation wide scale In 1908 under the aus- pices of the Red Cross, which turn ed ovef 'tRe newly organized National Tuberculosis Association to finance Its educational program.

And out of nowhere he produced a sheaf of hobo documents that absolutely proved that he was a national notable.

Social Unit PROVO, (Special To The Times) Miss Margaret Reid of Magna is Several times, our readers have asked why we have not printed this or that item news In every instance we felt would possibly bring a heartache to the ones directly involved. A prominent judge in Salt Lake City, who at the present time is waging war against reckless and drunken driving, said in effect that he saw no reason why the names of the offenders should not be published. We grant that crime still is considered news, and its publication is continued aa.apoUcy.oiL thq theory no doubt that it is exceptional that the good men do is so common as not to constitute news. But conditions do alter cases, and we repeat if some mother's or fathers suffering is lessened by not having the truth of their children's misdeeds printed in glaring type, we shall do so.
