Appendicitis, cataract, tonsil, ma-turnlty ma-turnlty and medical treatment cases comprised the group. An additional order for hospital beds was wired Wednesday to further furth-er equip the hospital in order that all patients , who are admitted can be assured the best of care. The institution was opened with but twelve beds, the board feeling that it . would take a little time to get the hospital "sold" to the public and get it under way. However, the response re-sponse of physicians and the public to this institution has been faster than was expected and in order that the hospital might meet any emergency emer-gency it might be called on to meet it was felt that additional beds were needed, at once. Practically all of the equipment has been received and Installed now and the unit is declared to be one of the 'best, arranged and equipped small hospitals in the state. Moderate Mod-erate rates have been set and it Is expected that, trie public will use the institution whenever" necessity " re- quires.

Knowing that the boy could have a better home than she could give him, the mother consented. In 1892 they came to America, and Martin stayed In the Jorgensen family until he was 18 years old, working on the farm, and receiving practically no education. This worried the ambitious Martin, Mar-tin, so he went' out to work, going first for Abraham jorgensen, a brother of Jacob, the next year he worked for brother Newbold in his clothing store. Laboring under difficulties and small pay yet he managed to obtain some schooling, which he so desired. de-sired. In May 1903 he met Miss Mary Cooper who was attending the A. C. at Logan, and in 1905 they were married In the Logan temple. To this union were born 12 childrenfour chil-drenfour daughters and eight boys, all living namely: Keith C. Nielsen, Pocatello, Idaho; Mrs. Ver-na Ver-na Timothy, Greeley, Colorado; Kenneth Ken-neth Nielsen, Salt Lake City; and Max, Ray, Fred, Ida, Roy, Ruth, Dick, Ted, and Joan, all of American Amer-ican Pork. - He also leaves five grandchildren, a brother, Anton Nielsen," of Denmark, arid' two" sisters, sis-ters, Marie Nielsen, California, and Mrs. Senith Peterson of Mississippi Shortly after his marriage he was called by President. Joseph F.Smith to go on a mission to Scandinavia. He labored, from 1905 to 1907, and It was while on his mission he was privileged to see once more his father, mother, brothers and sisters, sis-ters, whom he had not seen since he was a small boy of seven. Following his return in 1907 they lived for a time In Cache Valley, and then moved to Provo Bench. For several years he was manager for the White Sewing Machine company com-pany at Provo and then moving to American Fork about 20 years ago he opened an automobile agency. During the past ten years- the deceased de-ceased has shown his public splrlt-edness splrlt-edness in the work that he has done. About this time the Lions club was organized in American Fork and he was one of the first chartered chart-ered members and was also selected as one of the directors, which he filled Jn a very capable way. On account of his good Judgement and business ability he was selected as the second president of the Lions club and during his term of office Post Office Says it Was All a Mistake The PcetOffloe department takes back the claim made units letter last month that it is within the rights of postmasters to solicit printing print-ing orders. In an earlier letter to Edwin H. Wilder, manager of the San Francisco office of thi Cali fornia Newspaper Publishers Association, Asso-ciation, the first assistant postmaster post-master general stated that the fact that the postmaster at Rio Vista, Calif, was making a personal solicitation so-licitation for the sale of envelopes did not concern the post-office de partment and stated that "there is no desire on the part of the depart ment to curtail such aclvities." A more recent letter to Mr. Wilder, dated March 18, admits a misunderstanding misunder-standing and reverses the position defined in the first letter. The sec ond letter reads as follows: Mr. Edwin H. Wilder, Manager, San Francisco Office California Newspaper Publishers 'Ass'nu, Inc.

' ...l,;..,.,:..:, ..... --- A great deal of credit Is also due him for the very successful Poultry Days which we have had the last few years. He was always placed upon some of the most important positions and he handled them as well as they have ever been handled before. , 1 He has always had an ambition to have a hospital established In our community and it was through his efforts and other prominent men that the Co-op' building was ac quired, with the understanding it j would be converted into a hospital His realization of a hospital was fulfilled before his demise and he was one of the first patients to enter en-ter the institution. SV The building and all of the property prop-erty is now fully paid for and a great deal of it is due to the worthy deceased, During his business administration administra-tion I do not know anyone who could have handled a firm in a more business-like way. He has been very progressive and enterprising enterpris-ing in doing things for the betterment better-ment of the community. He. like many others In the nation, na-tion, had a great struggle during the depression but through his per. sistency and the help of his good wife I am sure that the business is now in "a' very fine ' condition. He was an active L. D. S. church worker all his life, serving for a time in the Sunday School superln-tendency superln-tendency of the First ward. He was a devoted husband and father, giving his children every opportunity he could afford for ed ucation, ever holding up to them the highest Ideals. From his diary he gives credit to the man who brought him to Utah, feeling it to be a privilege to be a member of the L. D. S. church. In his own writing he states: "I was truly thankful to him who called me out of Babylon in my childhood, and took me to Zion, where I have gotten a true knowledge of my Heavenly Father and His gospel I acknowledge the Lord's Hand in my life and I know he has blessed me." In his passing the community has lost a worthy citizen. An intensive hunt for the . lost Western Air Express plane carrying seven persons which was last heard - ' from on December 15th and thought . to have crashed on Granite Mount ' aln northeast of Alpine was revived early this week when word leaked out that William Healey and Frank Bateman, both of Alpine, had picked, pick-ed, up two letters near Lone Peak which are surmised came from the lost plane. ,-. The letters are reported to, now be definitely connected with the plane and a small eity. sprang up over Sunday, Monday and Tuesday on the mountain composed of searchers, newspaper reporter and . Just curious folks. Camps have been established high up on the mountain side and the snow covered mount ain is being combed for the air- .
