Show People and Progress By Jim Cannon IT LOOKS LIKE OPEN SEASON SEA-SON on your pocket book or cash register this year as soon as the various charity drives get started. The Sait Lake Chamber of Commerco made an earnest effort to get seven health and civic organizations to unite their efforts with the long - established Community Chest, but to no a ail. This week all seven organizations turned thumbs-down on the suggestion. . The Community Chest, which was originally organized to join all miscellaneous fund driven into one, wnl have its campaign this fall. From then on we may expect to be approached ap-proached month in and month out by all the others. As you dig into your pocket each time you will probably wonder how much of your donation goes to administration of the charity. It is logical to assume that it is much more costly for each charity to have its own staff, as compared with putting them all under one head, ln adai-tion adai-tion to the administrative expense, ex-pense, think of the thousands of man horn-; wiv.-.d by having independent drives. It seema to tis that the vower to demand consolidation lies with those who donate. What do you think? ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIF-TY FOUR PEOPLE from Granite Gran-ite LDS Stake recently had Ithemselves a wonderful time on a mass movement from Salt Lake to Cardston Alberta, Canada, Can-ada, and return. They left Monday, July 26, in four large buses, and. 'raveled to Yellowstone, Yellow-stone, Moran, Helena, and then! o(.une, moran, .Helena, ana then into Canada. While in Cardston, the group attended several sessions at the LDS Temple to complete the mam order of business for the trip.

Both men stated that moving 154 people from Sugar House to Canada and back was "some job." "A CIVIO AUDITORIUM SHOULD BE CENTRALLY LOCATED," said two experts on a recent visit to Salt Lake! They recommended that Salt1 Lake City disregard previous plans for building a ch'ic auditorium audi-torium on Fort Douglas prop-I prop-I erty. It is interesting to note that the two experts were guided guid-ed to the Fort, the University of Utah, the State fairgrounds, and "amusement colters." No mention is made that they might have been guided to the state park at the prison site, which is the most '"centrally located" spot of its size in the valley. Those who are behind the push for an auditorium protend that they don't hear the voice of citizens in the southeast area. They don't seem to be aware that in recent years the center of population has moved steadily to the southeast area until now it has settled in the vicinity of 11th East and 21st South. We have a feeling that they are going to hear our voice before long. We wonder what the reaction will be. "MEN OF DISTINCTION," is the title of an interesting little series in the Christian Science Monitor. On July 22 the Monitor Moni-tor printed this brief note under the above title: "Another portrait for which those who handle whisky advertising ad-vertising will hardly try to outbid out-bid each other: The Attleboro, Mass., man who is charged with killing his wife, the mother of his three children, with a rifle and then clubbing her with the butt of the gun as her fellow factory workers looked on.
