Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah, Thurs., Sept. 25, 19521 opening sentences of the conclud-ing chapter of his book, Progress and Poverty, which was published in 1879. And it is with that final chapter, ratiher than with the whose book, that we are chiefly to concern ourselves here in this brief review. That chapter, on the Problem Of Individual Life, is one of the most beautiful bits of philosophi-cal reflection in all the English language. In it, an inspired writer vises to a great height of eulog-e.'ic- c. It is the work of a man ded-icated to a great cause, the cause of truth and justice, and the well being and happiness of humanity. And it is a testimony of fuibh that all is not in vain; that there is point and purpose in life and the Wiugovers All The News That's Fit To Print - From The Delta Airport. By Dick Morrison PROGRESS AND POVERTY . . . "My task is done. "But the thought still mounts. Behind the problems of social life lies the problem of individual life. "The truth that I have tried to make clear will not find easy acceptance. But it will find friends - - those who will toil for it; suffer for it; if need be, die for it. That is the power of Truth". So wrote Henry George in the hereafter. "By a fundamental law of our minds, we cannot conceive a means without an end; a contri-vianc- e without an object. But un-less man himself may rise to or bring forth soniethnig higher, his existence is unintelligible . So strong is tnis metaphysical neces-- ' sity that those who deny to the individual anything more than his liei are compelled to transfer the idea of perfectibility to the race'' he observed. It is not possible to dismiss Hen-- ! ry George simply as a crack-braine- d socialist, as some would do. His book has had too great an impact on the political science for that. He may have been wrong in his essential conclusion that in-equitable distribution ol land was the root of "industrial depressions and of increase of want with the increase of wealth", at least as as far as the depressions- are con-cerned, and he was almost certain ly wrong in saying that Malthus was mistaken, and that, if only equitably distributed, the land could support a supposedly un-limited increase in population. But for all that, the book carries many a sound idea, and it remains a "must" reading for the students of political economy. .And it is the work of a great humanitarian. Advanced economists now see that cycles of boom and depres-sion are attributable to defects in the traditional money land bank-ing system, and, incidentally, that they are not an incurable ill of the capitalistic system, as the Marxists argue; still the land pro-blem itself grows more pressing as the population increases, and the forceful arguments of Henry George against exploitation of man by man through land owner-ship remain practically unanswer-able. But to return ot our chapter, and let it speak for itself. Here, is a passage on Success that is worthy of Omar Khayyam: "Success! Why Falsehood has of ten that to give; and Injustice of-ten ihas that to give. Must not Truth and Justice have something to give that is their own by pro-per right - - theirs in essence and not in accident? That they have, and that here and now, everyone who has felt their exaltation knows. But sometimes the' clouds sweep down. .It is said, sad read-ing, the lives of the men who would have done something for their fellows". In larger perspective: "We know that there have been geologic conditions under which human life was impossible on this earth. We know that they must return again. And beyond, science discerns a dead earth, an exhaus-ted sun - - a time when, clashing together, the solar system shall resolve itself into ta gaseous form, again to begin immeasurable mut-ations.. "What then, is the meaning of life - - of life absolutely and in-evitably bounded by death? To me it only seems intelligible as the avenue and vestibule to an-other life. And its facts seem only explainable upon a theory which cannot be exnressed but in myth and symbol, and which, every -- where and at all times, the myths and symbols in which men have tried to portray their deepest per-ceptions do in some form express". "That scriptures of the men who have been and gone . . . have a heart and core in which they ag-ree - - a something which seems like the variously distorted ap-prehensions of a primary truth -- - a shadowy gleam of ultimate relations, the endeavor to express which falls into type and allegory A garden in which are set the trees of good and evil.. A vinyard in which there is the Master's work to do. A passage, from life behind to life beyond. A trial and struggle, of which we cannot see the end. "Though Truth and Right are of-ten overborne, we may not see it all. How can we see it all? Shall we say that what passes from our sight passes into oblivion? No, not into oblivion. Far, far beyond our ken the eternal laws must hold their sway." It is beautiful prose, it carries a message of hope that is com-forting in our distraught times, and whether one agrees with it or not, even the most hardened mat-erialist cannot dismiss that mes-sage with absolute finality. rCOOD HEALTH WHERE DOES HOW OFT EM CAN i?Sv THE HUMAN B LOOD BE DONATED fa V GET IT5 3S3. vflli CANCRCX$ED EYE" M I A . f IN CHILDREN BE CORIiECTED'? iW M . - i Answer to Question No. 1: Healthy individuals between the ages of 18 and 60 usually can give blood five times a year with safety. Donations should be properly spaced so that the body can re-place the blood removed before the next blood is given. People over sixty should rarely, if ever, give blood. In the aged, the ability to rebuild blood is diminished. Answer to Question No. 2: Most calcium obtained by the human body comes from milk and milk products. There is some cal-cium in green leafy vegetables. Broccoli, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, and water-cres- s are the best of these. Canned salmon, including the bones, is also a good . source of calcium. If yo ; are not obtaining enough calciui.i in your diej. it may be necessary to pre- scribe extra calcium to take with your meals. Answer to Question No. 3: Yes, if this condition is treatsd early. Proper eyeglasses will often be all that is needed. Sometimes a comparatively minor operation is required to straighten the eyes. This operation should not be per-formed when the child is too young. The eyes should be watched by your physician be-cause neglect may produce eye weakness and other defects.

Studies in-clude Old and New Testament, Church History .and Doctrine, Ear-ly Christian Leaders and a Post Graduate Course of elective study units. There is an enrollment increase of seventy-on- e students which makes a total enrollment of three hundred seventeen in seminary for this school year. Our teachers are Ladd R. Cropper and John James Glenn. The following students have been elected and chosen for dif- -' ferent offices of leadership: Dav-id Moody, Seminary Studentbody President, with Howard Creed, vice president, and LuJean Roper, sec-retary. MIA leaders include: Rich-ard Snow, and Dorene Moody. Their counselors are: Chloe Gard-ner, Geniel Johnson, Kent Schlap-p- i, and John Sorenson. Worship Service Committee officers are Ila Rae Taylor, Howard Johnson, Chlo-ee- n Callister, Steven Lovell, Leah Church and Wayne Western.

Shirlev Chris tensen, Dale Workman, Max Jen-sen Florence Church Marlon Steele Howiard Johnson and Jay May. The two additional classes which are being taught this year are held at noon each Wednesday for forty minutes. This new project is a result of the many requests from the graduates, Oi last year for a post graduate course during the year. They are seniors in high school. The enrollment of the grad uates was so large that the class had to be divided into two sec-tions. We are looking forward to a successful year of worship, study, religious activity and recreational socials.
