But as I approached Unless OR Defense 'T'HE presidential campaign, grows in intensity day by day, challenges thoughtful minds more ful-- . ly than any other during the last eighty years. In the two leading contenders. President Roosevelt and Wendell L. Willkie, we have two flashing personalities. As the campaign proceeds, however, thoughtful vsters will take Increasing care to see to it that the brilliance of neither of them obscures the - fundamental issues at stake. Stripped of all other political questions great and small, the one paramount issue is, Shall this, our present form of democracy, be retained or must the nation proceed with the avalanche speed of the last few years toward a highly centralized bureaucratic government, having within itsell the power to sustain itself without decision on the part of the people f It is apparent that men and women everywhere sense the crucial import of this question, whether they have analyzed it or not And that explains the unusual character of the tight that is being waged in behalf of Wendell L. Willkie in every state in the union. The Willkie Clubs have sprung into existence without political leadership or party Jurisdiction Their millions of members, for the most part, are men and women who heretofore have taken little part in politics. They are made up of independent voters, small bus! nessmen and women and young people, They fear the effect of a Third Term, not because of traditions against it. but because of the feeling that the American principle of representative government is in danger. , But not even this historic contest between Willkie who would preserve the American principle and Roosevelt who regards it as a relic of horse and buggy days can submerge another constant thought that is in the mind of every American citizen: Will America get into the war?" deep-seate- Abhorrence of war is as d deep-roote- d in American life as the common love for liberty. In casting his vote on Election Day. each voter is going to ask himself which candidate is most likely to avoid war. Both have said they do not want war. Very definitely the American public has decided that the only real security against war is in armed defense so invincible that no power will dare attack us. In times of great crisis, the people have always been moved to rely with hopeful hearts upon their gov eminent. Now t they are sorely perplexed. They have questioned little, if any. of the billions of dollars that have been appropriated. They remember that war clouds have been hanging heavy on the horizon for more than a year. They have accepted with traditional patriotism a law conscripting their young men. Nevertheless, they know battles cannot be fought by men alone without guns and airplanes. Something seems to be wrong at Washington. With all appropriations available for production, purchase and expansion of armaments, progress is slow. As late as October 1st. it was found that the army and navy together have only about 500 planes suitable for fighting. The remainder or airplanes of secare training-ship- s ondary importance. At the present rate of progress, some reliable sources estimate that we will have no more than a thousand additional planes by January 1st, 1942 The Army had as of Oct 1 of this only about 500 tanks and one half of them first-lin- e first-lin- e ye, are obsolete. It had 372 anti-aircra- guns, only one of which is of an ap proved modern type, and that is not enough to defend one city. Voters, therefore, are asking themselves: Can we trust the present red bureau control tape and to get action and to get it quickly, or, in the light of past failures, is not speedy, efficient arming by the present administration merely a forlorn hope?" Jpon rapid production of implements of war, rests the hope of American fathers and mothers for the protection of their homes and the safeguarding of their sons now to be inducted into military service. Wendell Willkie, not Franklin Roosevelt, has the experience and genius in production and in mobilization so terribly needed at this tragic time. Thoughtful voters, whether calling themselves business men or workers, want armaments now, not years hence. They want guns, munitions and airplanes in realityjind not"ou order. slow-movin- Local News g I am still a Licensed Abstractor and Notary Public. I make a specialty ef making Deeds and Titles.

And there in began ,o investigate "the premises and inquire of the neighbors, on th assumption that, likely as not, the boys who play around the yard, or one ol my neighbors had temporarily borrowed it for some small chore or joo k at hand. But, no, that didn't prove to be the answer. So then an unworthy suspicion set my heart to I ounding stolen No, never my goodness how ones mind so wrought up will pervert his otherwise sound judgment Surely you must know that nobody in our fair little community, permeated with brotherly love, would stoop to such a petty sin as stealing a fellow tew n Moan's shovel and leave his hungry hogs to suffer the agonies of malnutrition" preposterous! No Dave, youre all wet; try again. But now my curiosity had become an obsession. Neither sleep or peace of mind could abide with me in my greatly disturbed mental state. So deeper and deiRr I delved into the mystery t f my missing shovel ; and more and more the solution to the puzzle became complicated. And, while I knew the fine gentlemen who had borrowed it iniKcently enough, would return it imm diatdy upon completing his task. I was gravely afraid the andle might nerd a new shovel before it was completed and we mustnt forget the always hungry pigs This terrible uncertainty continued for several days, broadening out a to include a number of prominent citizens who had also the same shovel for 'eon me i eautifying my front planting yard trees shrubs, flavors and you know maybe to set a post that had fallen ,lr"vn wThen a thoughtless cow had lean-i- d to hard against it, until every big or small, public or private, was secretly surveil'led for the shovel it was a small, almost straight bladed shovel,, without no strap or handle loll on socket, and sporting its second new handle with somewhat battered rivets that fastened the handle to the shovel-blad- e as per amateur style. Finally our discreet sleuthing brot results the shovel was located and reported to me. Whereupon I straightway went and identified same as mine. And, would you believe it? I lef: that shovel standing where it stood The reason: Well, I learned the poor fellow and his family depended for. its ery existence on the possession of a hovel. And, though this chap would have gladly bought one had he not spent his money for mori. vital things such as personal amusement and already sold his creditstanding for much more than he considered it was worth, instead of JUST borrowing mine, he couldnt possibly do it now. But. with all due credit to this worthy citizen, I must mention his marked consideration for those most interested, he came in the slumber of night, when Morpheus held us fast within his dreams, so as to be the least bothersome. lie had no remorse of conscience: no misgivings . . . nothing to disturb his apparent tranquil equanimity he had only borrowed the shovel anyway !

Maybe Ill be doing him and the pigs both a big favor to take the Besides. shovel pigs need grain ; Dave might wear calluses on his hand's if something isn't done to stop him. and that would be terrible- - What do i iu think?

The young cquple were married in Sait Lake Temple Tuesday. they were saying and wishing that I had had the knowledge of speaking their language. I spent three months here with my companion Elder and then we were transferred some sixty miles back in the woods to a little town know as Veronia, Oregon. Here I found the main occupation and only one was that of lumbering. I had the privilege of going through the lumber mill three times. This mill is quoted as one of the largest in the United States. It employes over five hundred men in the mill, and another hundred or so out in the woods. It really was a great thrill to me, to be able to see ont of our dependable products made on a large scale from large trees, some having a diameter of seven or eight, feet; into the finished board ready to be put into use in a thousand different ways. This past summer you probably read or heal'd over your radio about the big fire that raged near Portland, where one small town was burned cat. This fire was very close to Veronia. After seeing the remains of a fire swept country, I have often wondered how people can be so careless, when It costs millions of dollars of damage every year. I labored in Verno-L'i- a for fqur months. On leaving there I received a new companion, Elder Reeder, who had just come out into the field, from Cbrinne, Utah. We were assigned to labor in Great Falls, Montana, one of the furthest points in our mission, nearly one thousand miles from Portland, our headquarters. Great Falls is a very beautiful town being a center for livestock and grain, md also the proud possessor of a large ue smelter, and is located on the Misr , ouri river. The work of the Lord is going on very swiftly here, and we find it very well organized, and havv ing a large number of Latter Day Saints in the community. The greatest arid fondest hopes of the people in this district is that of becoming a Stake of Zion, which does not seem so far in the future. One of the greatest highlights in my mission so far is that of having the great opportunity of going to the Alberta Temple in Cardston, Canada. We spent a week there in the service of the dead a service that can be equaled nowhere in this world. President Woods, the head of the Cardston temple is one of the most wonderful men that I hav ever talked to. He is known all over by the Latter Day Saints as one of the nnst inspirational of all men alive today Going through the Temple with him seemed just like coming out ot a dark cellar into a world of light. TempY woijk is a very great work, and one that all Batter Day Saints should be interested in. For we find in.. the Doctrine and Covenants, section 128, verse 18: That we without dead ancestors cannot be made perfect ; neither can they without us to be made Thus if we are seeking for perfect. perfection, we must do that work for our departed ancestors, which they cannot do for themselves. In closing I would like to say that tnere is nothing to equal that of going on a mission and putting full time in for the service of our Iord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I again want to express my gratitude for sending the paper, and wishing all the people at home, happiness and health. Sincerely yours, ELDER ROSS D. JACKSON.
