Show These roads lead into Sugar House-Southeast. House-Southeast. This would be an admirable time, therefore, for some civic minded group to begin to put on a campaign cam-paign to ale'rt folks as to what we have for them. One project worthy of particular mention is that of "Pioneer Village." Every access road leading into our area should be well marked with an eye appealing invitation to visit "Pioneer Village."

The historic and heroic past of these pioneers we well know, and a great collection of authentic pioneer items is there for the world to see.

For Utah and all the world, and what is most important, our own children, the Pioneer Village must truly be classed as one of the greatest historical collections. The people of Utah have Mr. Horace A. Sorensen to thank, for he, with the same progressive spirit as his ancestors, who came and helped to build an empire in the west, has traveled, searched for and purchased many priceless relics, once belonging to Utah people, and brought them home again. And he of course has the support of the many Sons of Utah Pioneers, the organization he heads. So . . . what a grand project this route-marking offers to one or more of our service clubs . . . Lion's, Kiwanis, Rotary, Jaycees! Who'll be first? SUP Pioneer Village Important S. House Tourist Attraction An improved highway has just been completed east of Sugar House.
