Show May 1930 be as Great as You Strive to The Post Wishes You a Happy, Prosperous New Year Make It VOLUME 4 OGDEN, UTAH. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27. 1929. Distinguished Men Make Reservations To Attend Stock Show NATIONAL REAL ESTATE CONTEST DEFINES HOME National Association Gets Sent!-merin Contest for Definition of Home; 5,000 Letters Received From Every State in Union and From All . the Classes of People it People of modest means have submitted on cheap paper incorrectly spellod definitions of the word "home that are the best received so far in the contest conducted by the National Association of Real Estate Boards, according to Herbert U. Nelson, executive secretary. The national association was looking for sentiment when it announced the contest and it certainly got it, says Mr. Nelson, who has read some 6,000 letters already received. In the contest, the association raid that the definitions of the word "home in the dictionaries are cold, but it received an avalanche of letters surging with human emotions. For thousands of people were unable to submit definitions alone; and, after writing their definitions, either through hope of securing additional attention from the judges, or merely because they could not help it, poured out in accompanying letters confidences that are sometimes pathetic, sometimes dramatic, and always touching. They admit that their own ideas for home would not do for a general definition to fit all mankind, so they try to make their definitions acceptable, but on other sheets of paper, in writing often barely legible, they tell what home could mean to them. Show What They Want For it is all too evident, between the lines, that the writers of many of these letters have just the opposite lot to the one which they call ideal. One woman writes: "My idea of a home would be a place with a husband who does not drink and who would bring home his money every week to meet the payments." But they are not all sad. Many of them describe, in cheerful words, their struggles to secure a home and say that it is because of their appreciation for having their home that they have been able to write the definitions. Nor are they all from people of modest means, for the $250.00 prize has attracted the attention of erudite pie and hundreds of definitions eve arrived on heavy, engraved paper, on the stationery of clubs patronized by the wealthy, and from the offices of university professors. But Mr. Nelson thinks that the contest has shown an appreciation for home ownership, and its attendant benefits, on the part of people who might be classed as the countrys workers, that will astonish real estate men. Everyone Is in Contest The letters have come from every state in the union, from practically every large city, from rural places, from school girls, housewives, business men, and physicians. They have come from such places as Hoquian Washington, where six or seven people are contesting for the prize; from Clatskamle, Oregon; from Jourdan-toTexas; from Mill Valley, California; from Flat Rock, Michigan; from Sewickley, Pennsylvania. They have come from the Ritz Carlton hotel in Atlantic City, from Western Reserve university in Cleveland, from a school for the deaf, from Welfare Island, N.lY.; and the writers include a cabaret dancer, a fireman, a dean of a women's college, a patient in a sanitarium in the mountains of Virginia, an inmate of an old soldiers home, a pastor in New Orleans, an electrical engineer for the Northern Pacific railroad, a wholesale grocer's wife in Morristown, Tennessee, and the manager of a lumber company in . . n, Minneapolis. How One Contestant Did It L W. Fisher, of Cleveland, Ohio, 1 10713 Pasadena avenue, submitting his definition in a. neatly bound and elaborately lettered booklet, seta forth in four pages, the "Canons of Definition in which he analyzes the preparation of the definition as a problem, and shows how he scientifically arrived at his twenty-fiv- e words. Here are the "affirmative requisites of the definition sought according to Mr. Fisher: "It must indicate a place of dwelling, to square with the fact of physical residence. "It must suggest a character which goes beyond physical residence and well-bein- g. "It must predicate certain conditions rob a mere if house of the character of a home. "It must give a meaning which squares with the fact that some houses owned by residents, possessing all necessary comforts and conveniences, are not homes; while certain rented structures, lacking in such appointments, are homes in a very real sense. Must Have Love "It must suggest the dwelling place of more than one person to create the conditions characteristic of a real which, non-existe- NUMBER nt, home. "It must indicate the residence of a loving family, else it cannot meet the use of the word by domestic relations and juvenile courts." "It must draw a sharp distinction between life by one individual in a rooming house, boarding house, hotel, or house of a friend, and that of a Congressman REVALUATION OF Lenthcnvoocl Dies in Washington, D, C.
