The Uintah Railway was one of the last narrow-gauge lines built in the Rockies. Henry E. Bender, Jr. has written a history hi-story of this railway. Its pages are full of steam and tell the story of the only railroad to penetrate the vast Uintah Basin of Western Colorado and Eastern Ea-stern Utah. The Lj"e was built almost exclusively to carry the unusual mineral called gilso-nite, gilso-nite, the glossy-black asphaltum found nowhere else in the world. The unusual task was made the more difficult by the fantastic grade climbing Baxter Pass for which the route became most famous. Ask for "Uintah Railway." Rail-way." "Glimpses of a Mormon Family," by Frances Grant Bennett, is a warm human biog-graphy biog-graphy written by the youngest daughter of Heber J. Grant and the wife of Wallace F. Bennett, senior senator for the State of Utah. In her book, Mrs. Bennett tells the story of the home life of the Grants as she grew up in it, and the equally interesting story of the Bennetts as she married into it. "Israel: a Profile," by Israel T. Naamani, opens with a description des-cription of the variegated geographical features of the area that is now Israel. Then, after a brief survey of the history hi-story of the Jews in the area from the earliest arrivals some four thousand years ago, the author presents a vivid picture of the mosaic of peoples and religions in the country. Teachers, students, and general readers will find this an excellent excel-lent introduction to a unique and exciting country. Heinrich Boll's masterful and stunning new novel, "Group Portrait With Lady," is an inventive in-ventive and sardonic portrait of the effects of Nazi Germany on a small group of people who The Mower We've put the big 2Vi bushel grass bag between the handles of our Snapper to give you 100 maneuverability.

It is a moving and vivid romance which somehow symbolizes the whole will to survive in the midst of political madness, absurdity ab-surdity and destructiveness. "Easy Victories," by James Trowbridge, is a strong, tough, shattering novel that happens to be set in Vietnam. It is not a combat novel; it is a book about a country desecrated by the effects ef-fects of combat. The greatest strength of the novel arises from its understatement of the terrors that exist in a country ravaged by war, of the antagonism antago-nism between Vietnamese and Americans, always at cross-purposes, each with their own arrogance, arro-gance, and the folly that such conflict breeds. "Here Lies Our Sovereign Lord" is the third novel in a trilogy by Jean Plaidy dealing with Charles II, King of Great Britain. All three of these novels are now in our collection and will be enjoyed by those who are intrigued with historical fiction. The first novel is entitled "The Wandering Prince" and the second se-cond is "A Health Unto His Majesty." Read all three and get to know King Charles II -often earless, rarely malicious, but forever amorous. We hope to have something that will be of special interest to you this week.

Anywhere Fork Hospital Patients Mormanism By Shir ley Secily I stood on the narrow soiid path leading through Timpano-gos Timpano-gos cave while the guide turned out the lights. The total darkness that fell around me shut out everything. The person in front of me, only a few inches away was unrecognizable, my sense of direction took flight,, even the sound of the guide's voice, cutting into my fears, sounded distant and unnatural. Utter darkness, without knowing know-ing which way to turn or where to put down my feet in safety, the caverns below looming up in my memory with frightening realism. Then the guide touched the switch of the electric light and the darkness disappeared. .A flip of a finger and the miracle mira-cle of electricity displayed well planned, well trodden paths and guide ropes that made the rest of my adventure through the cave very interesting and enjoyable. en-joyable. I think of Mormonism this way. The path through life is well planned and marked by our Father in Heaven who loves us and wants us to return to Him. The miracle of electricity is like the miracle of the Gospel, showing show-ing the way, lighting the path and sign posts to lead us to the exit of this life into the entrance of another. The switch, that turns on the light, is like prayer, the touch of contact that brings into focus the Gospel plan, the path back to our Father into Eternity. I am proud to be a Mormon. Wherever I go, whatever I see that we Mormons are doing, through the inspiration and guidance of our authorized leaders, is good. I remember the World's Fair in New York City and the way I felt when I found the Mormon section. It was my first trip to the East, my first World's Fair and of all the wonderful things I had seen, none of them impressed me more vividly than the beauty of our Mormon section at the World's Fair.

The luxurious carpets to walk on, the comfortable comfort-able seats to relax in, th friendly friend-ly m -sionaries ready to serve and answer the questions of those who came to visit in faith or curiosity. No expense was spared to display the beauty of our religion which is only an outward atmosphere of what the Mormon way of life can bring into the lives of those who seek and strive to live the teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I was born in a home of parents pa-rents who were members of the church. My progress to baptism was quite natural. The blessings that followed my personal conversion con-version were beautifully unfolded unfol-ded to me. I love being a Mormon. Mor-mon. I'm grateful for the home that taught me the basic requirements of a Mormon life and I've often wondered if I'd have had the courage to find it for myself as so many today are finding Mormonism as a way of life. Cheers to the converts of the church for their courage and foresight and I know their blessings bles-sings will be forthcoming. Are you a Mormon? Why are you a Mormon? Why not?
