This entitles us to doctors nurses, medicine and full hospital coverage for any sickness or accident. His wife remarked: "It is sure nice to go into a hospital where the dollar sign cannot be found.'' They have specialists for most, all departments and your case is thoroughly d agnosed and you receive the best doctor or surgeon your case requires. Here it doesn't matter about money, everyone receives according to his or her neeu's. How fortunate it is that God raises up men even outside of His church to com-mence building up the true pconomic Brotherhood of Man." ioicials Some Historic Truth THE THREAD OF GOLD IN HISTORY Better Study It Here is something to think about, especially for those who fight any and every kind of League or Society of Nations. To us there is a thread of gold running through all the big things concerning the world and mankind which links up with the Divinity that shapes the" ends of all earth's affairs. About a hundred years ago, Joseph Smith, American Prophet, sent Apostle Orson Hyde to Palestine to dedicate that land to the gathering of the Jews and to bless it that it might again become fruitful and bear and blossom. In an eloquent and prophetic prayer on the Mount of Olives this was done. The prophetic part of the prayer was that Britain should become a protector of that land so it would be safe for the Jews to gather there. For a long time nothing was heard of and little thought about this. Then World War I came on. At its close a League of Nations was established and that League gave Britain a mandate over Palestine and literally fulfilled the prohpesy made by Orson Hyde on that ancient Mount. This could not have been done without the League and a Divinity shaped things to that end. Those who fought the League were fighting the purposes of the Lord who never lets a calamity come upon His people, without first providing a means of escape, which He did in the great Covenant, but which men blindly rejected. They are reaping the whirlwind. , What Apostle Hyde prayed for concerning the Jews has literally come to pass. There are now 580,000 Jews in Pale-stine and another million will go there this year and next. They are farming 400,000 acres and have made wonderful . progress and prospered greatly. Through a sort of Com- - munal system they have built up hundreds of fine homes, pub-lic buildings, roads, reservoirs and many enterprises, etc. They art literally creating enormous wealth and making the erstwhile desert blossom as the rose. As truly as scripture speaks they are preparing the way for the coming of the Messiah. But some would reject even Him because of the touch of Communal living among the people. Again we say, these objectors are fighting the purposes of Him who guides the destinies of earth. If He, with His thread of gold, was in that first war, how much more is He in this great war? Beware men, lest you be found fighting His Plans. PeronaL FROM SYLVESTER EARL "I commend Mr Stringham for his honest and fearless com-ment on your editorial about that insurance talk. We have all too many like those in that meeting who masquerade in sheep's clothing but witl.in are ravening wolves, preaching Christ on Sunday and chasing dollars the rest of the week. They belong to t lose Jesus cal-led "scribes and Pharisees, neglect the weigh-tier matters of the law, blind guides who make clean the out-side of the platter but within are full of extortion and excess It seems to me that we have reached a point where if one preaches the word of the New Testament some professed fol-lower of Jesus will brand him an a sinner and an apostate. Thus time rolls on in endless maze, Through dar ened glasses we dreamily gaze: We pause and tremble at dutys task; In the shadow of doubt we fain would bask, As we drift with the tide of the wor'd. Sylvester Earl, Virgin, Utah There are some of our Neigh-bors and Friends who carry on their sleeves as warm a heart as ever beat. One of them is R. DeYonge, a real estate ag-ent with conscience. We have known hfm for a long time and done considerable business with him and found him to be four-square in every respect. A very thankful heart goes out to you, Mr DeYonge. T he state does some queer things. It gets a mighty good man like Gordon T. Hyde into office and then does its utmost to oust him because of some little technicality. Hewas do jng some very good and neces- - sary work better than it had ever been done before and lo, he is ousted. Interpreters of the law should look more to the spirit of the law and take a more common sense view in-stead of hair splitting techni-calities. Mr. Hyde was .too valuable a man to let go. L. P.

How long in this deluge of madness Before we will come to know That familiar shores are changing For all that is loose must go? Only a sure foundation Will last when the flood is gone, Let us cling to the roots of Democracy ... It is all we can rest upon; Let our country shed its baggage of leaves Without the pain of remorse, Let its branches bend with plasticity To the onward-surgin- g course; But let us know with faith secure That deep in the soil of time The roots of Democracy gather A sustenance sublime: ' Love and understanding, The equality of man, j So that a blossoming action Can shape a world-wid- e plan; Let us hold to the seed, the ideal, a!

Let it sing in our hearts with love enough " To shape World Brotherhood! Down-and-Oute- rs Can Be Salvaged Some say it isn't worthwhile to try to do anything for the down-arid-oute- r. But we believe differently. Even the poor-est and most lost can ht salvaged. Here is a story and there should be a million like it. A poor, "ne'rdoweL" with a wife, six children and a dependent, sister is an example. His worldy possessions were a mule, a cow, two pigs and 17 chickens, and he owed $15. He was a tenant farmer in the poor south. The government FSA granted him a loan of $3,000 to run for 40 years at low interest. He bought a good farm, built a home etc. In five years he paid off the 4o-ye- ar loan and today is worth at least $4,000 and he an d his family are living well and comfortably. He is a respected citizen. It can be done. This poor man and his family were salvaged and such salvaging pays the government and society more than money Let there be more of it. I "The saga of individual success, measured in terms of money has played out. We must draw closer together and forget how much a man is worth. Our new thought should turn to-ward Biven to our country rather tnan taking from it." Stu-art Chase. A great preacher said in 1837 that the dominion of Christ cannot come until slavery is wiped out. May we humbly say today that His dominion over earth cannot possibly come until the slavery of Capitalism and the slavery to Capitalism is wiped out as effectually as chattel slavery was.

Her husband is an elec-trician at the same company. Something new has been added In Utah's milling and smelting in-dustry. It is the feminine touch. The heretofore hard rock industry that has long boasted of its masculine accomplishments, has given way to the fairer sex in numerous jobs above ground. In short the powder puff has replaced the tobacco plug In the industry for the first time in order to relieve the serious man-power shortage. Reports from the various districts where women have been employed indicate that operations are going ahead on schedule and that the weaker sex are doing an ex-cellent job. The milling and smelting indus-try is one of the last to be invaded by women, but they are proving their worth as substitutes for men in this rough' work. In the yards, scale houses, offices, ore sorting de-partments and various other capac-ities will be found Utah women eager to do their part toward win-ning the war in the vital mining industry. Needless to say there are many jobs in the milling and smelting in-dustry and in the underground that cannot be filled by women and the men who remain in this work are doing a patriotic work that is im-perative to the success of the war. The metal must be mined, milled and smelted and then fabricated into the implements of war. If it were not for these men and women, who are in reality soldiers of the production front, the Allies could not wage war successfully against the enemy. J. Edgar Hoover On Juvenile Delinquency C. V. Hansen J. Edgar Hoover, makes the following statement: "I am not easely shocked nor easily alarmed. But today ; like thousands of others, I am both shocked and alarmed. The arrests of teen-ag- e boys and girls all over the country are staggering; it is an ugly situation, but it must be met. In the last year, 17 per cent more boys under21 were arresied for assault than the year before, 26 per cent more for disorderly conduct, 30 per !j cent more for drunkenness, 10 per cent more for rape. And '! that in spite of the fact many of this age group had already gone into the war or were productively employed. For girls, !' thefigurea are even more startling: 39 percent more for drunk- - - enness, 64 per cent more for prostitution,, 69 per cent more for disorderly conduct, 124 per cent more for vagrancy. And these are only the ones who are arrested the advanced cases." Surely we are living in perilous times! No More Newspaper Forums, But Here For, twenty, odd years we have been writing for the, Forum of the daily papers. But now there is no longer any open Forum. It is a long time since the News found it ex-pedient not to let its readers expess opinions in its columns, and now the Tribune has found it necessary to cut out its Forum. That leaves Progressive Opinion the only paper in these parts where you might get attention to contributions. Send them in but send along the wherewithal for getting the type set. Following is the last article sent to the Tribune, but it died with the Forum: Certain meetings have been held in this country in re-cent times which, had we been invited and attended, we would have felt like that patriotic preacher of Lincoln's time, Peter Cartwright did when he was invited and attended a meeting and banquet given by some of the Copperhead lead-ers. And we would have expressed ourself as he did. He left the meeting, but before going spoke to them in part as follows: "If I had known I would meet with such a nest of Tories and traitors I would not have come. I see . . . the huge hell of jealousy (hate) and discord that can be opened up within our country . . . You are accomplishing more for the enemy by your criticisms of and lack of sympathy for the president's noble labors than you could do were you enrolled in the ranks of the enemy. I speak strongly but I couldn't withdraw in silence and go sneaking from this company without feeling that I had been a coward and false to my country. There are now only two parties, Patriots and Traitors." The men and the papers which denounced Lincoln, called him an ape, an ignoramus, a traitor, and said that he was entirely unfitted for the presidency, have their successors today. In that day as today they bring the same ' accusation as was brought against the Master's disciples, "They are turning things upside down." But it is all in the program of progress. Thirteen billion dollars the sum the Treasury must raise tin the Second War Loan drive, is only one sixth of the esti-mated cost ot the war for the fiscal year of 1943.

Nobody knows, so the Army is continuing its training of Para-Sk- i Troopers. j They're parachute troops who know j their way about on skis or any other place in snow covered mountainous country. A great measure of the success of Russia's victories last winter is at-tributed to these troops who move with the silence of a snowflake.
