Advertising Rate ..tl.OO n year npon application I; Next week we celebrate the coming of the Pioneer to Provo, March 12, being the date of their entry and crossing the Provo river. Credit and honor belong to those pioneers who hewed for themselves homes out of the wild woods and primitive valleys; who. using axe, fish line and shot gun, eked a living and a competence for themselves, and did not sink to the level of hill billies" but prepared the ground for the city of Provo with its culture and commerce and industry of today. But our youth of today, going out from the Brigham Young university to make a home for themselves, face another world and different problems. They have no dismal wilderness of trims and bears and red Indians to contend against, but they do face a wilderness wherever they go in America today of crumbling houses, swarming gangsters, ever higher taxes, corrupt politicians, and so many, many stupid, desperate, and cowardly people who are unwilling, or unsympathetic, or afrakl to give these youngsters a chance. Today, as nearly 100 years ago, the pioneers must go out in groups, as they came to Provo, and together work out their problems. The new pioneers must be soil analysts, agronomists, surveyors, mining engineers, who seek to develop America's soil and natural wealth. The new pioneers must be teachers, trained siecialists, whether as farm managers, machinery experts, cannery technicians, market men, or whatever industrial leaders may be needed to build and hold a community together These new pioneers must be men and women capable as architects, decorators, builders, akilled artisans if they a would overcome the housing shortage and new America in this wilderness of debt and taxes which now surrounds us. Dont think for one minute that the pioneers had a hard time of it. We almost envy the life of the pioneers. Those were "the good old days". Today is the demand for MEN and WOMEN, new pioneers, who are able to meet the new conditions of obsolescence which afflicts America, and create, out of the materials at hand, a new home for millions who have floundered in a sea of economic and social storm of which the old pioneers never dreamed. 18-1- 9 f.
