The rest of the time was given over

necessity for better understanding
of the child nature; study and an
appreciation of the adolescent period
by both teacher and parent; a plea
for closer companionship between
parents an dtheir children. His mes
sage was not only inspirational but
went straight to the hearts of his
listeners.
After few timely remarks by the
president, Mrs. Austin, Mrs. Morse
and Miss Mcnamara expressed their
views on the need of supervised play.
Let us hope as result that each

OPEN SEASON FOR DEER
NOVEMBER lST TO 18TH

The open season for deer opens on
November and continues for Is
days. During this short period each
citizen of the United States has the
privilege of killing one male deer
with horns. Throughout the country
where deer are known to exist men
with the hunting instinct are prepar-
ing to sally forth into the hills in
quest or pursuit of their allotted buck.
Cedar City is no exception to the rest
of the country and many hunting
parties are being formed to go in
search of this favorite game. At the
present price of beef and mutton it
is enough to tempt the most prosaic
and sedate resident to make the at
