Show Iagg Tour THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE JUNIOR The Tribune Junior Editorial Page Written Solely by Our Contributors SUNDAY MORNING JULY 1935 14 Poor Blind Justice ' CHIT-CHA- T By OM NIBUS Marian Nolte is a friend of mine We first met each other when she was 5 and I was 6 Ever since we have been friends Marian is a nice clean girl both in words and She is very particular actions about her associates She is courteous and treats all her friends equally well She does not say one thing to you and another behind your back Jn games she plays fair and is willing to help others She is studious and always gets her lessons In the winter time I do not see much of her as she attends boarding Work for Growth Now that a new contest is beginning many of us will say energet-- i ally "I am going into this contest to win a high place I am going to be a or know the reason why!” Now all that is very fine and it shows a laudable ambition But after 1 11 it begs the questions of the real reason for working in these Tribune Junior contests The real reason is not to be a It is not to gain lame It is not even to have our work published The real reason and the hes reason that could be found is to enter the contests for pur own Cevelopment and growth Every time we write a story draw a picture or prepare an article we I'cfinitely increase our own power We actually grow That growth and lhat development come from the work we have done and have nothing to do with what is done with outwork afterward We grow just as much by writing an article that isn’t published (if we do our best) as we do by writing an article that is published This does not mean that we shouldn't be proud and happy to see our v ork in print The publishing of our material shows that we have done MORE than develop we have attained a definite goal too But this is secondary and should not influence us too much The Tribune Junior contributor who writes his best hoping it will L- published but undiscouraged by missing that goal will grow and c Jop more during a contest than will the worker who has his eye only c publication regardless of his own development KNIGHT JERRY WILSON Age 13 Salt Lake City er er Good Camp Sense Camping time is a time for good sense as well as fun and enjoyment and good sense will add to your enjoyment of any camping trip These rules will help a lot: 1 Never go far from camp alone 2 Never leave a fire burning or red coal alight 3 Put out all matches you find or use 4 Be careful of your drinking water 5 Don’t pick any plants you do not know 6 Be wary of insects and reptiles 7 Don’t leave your camp grounds untidy 8 Select your food and clothing carefully 9 Avoid all accidents 10 Contribute to the joy of the camp by being sensible LAVONNE BROWN Age 13 Alpine Don’t Forget Home During Vacation During vacation time we are all eager to go away to the hills’ or to the sea or to some big city It seems that it doesn’t matter where we go just so we get away from our homes But this should carry a warning to the sensitive ear In the rush to get away we might well spare a thought to our homes Home is the most wonderful place on earth It is the place where we ’are born and raised and receive a most important part of our education It is not just a house where one comes for shelter or food but it is a place to be happy and cotnfortable in It is a place to cooperate with each other It is a place to learn- to love It is where we learn much of our religion our manners and how to act or conduct ourselves A home is much different from just a house Anything that is built to give shelter to a family or someone is a house but to make a home takes cheerfulness happiness comfort loving people and people who are willing to work and sacrifice and cooperate Home is the place everyone turns to when he is in trouble and in need of comfort or consolation and wants to be cheered up Many otherwise lonesome hours are spent in contentment at home How glad everyone is to return home when he has been off on some trip' He has missed baby’s happy noise or mother’s or father’s kind words A little old shanty may be a better home than a large palace It makes no difference how the house looks but how it is carried on within — whether it is cheerful comfortable and happy The biggest and most important part of our lives is spent at home We should appreciate our homes and understand what we have learned in our home Home is truly the most wonderful place on earth to me DOROTHY E NEWTON school KNIGHT Knighthood of Youth Editor Tbe Salt Lake Tribune 'I want you to enroll
