According to reports the boys were driving east and just before reaching the bridge their lights went out and as the brakes were also faulty the driver was unable to stop the car or see the road, and the car plunged over embankment and struck a twelve-foa cement buttment extending from the bridge. The impact of the car against the cement buttment almost completely demolished the car. The car rolled over pinning its occupants under it. The crash was heard by Phillip Rauber, who had just left the boys' car, having been in conversation with them, and he ran to the scene of the accident and tried to extricate them but unable to do so. He came to Tremonton and notified City Marshal i Foxley, secured help and the victims were removed from the wreckage and taken to the hospital. It was found that the Wyatt boy was the most seriously injured, hav ing received a crushed nose and other injuries about the head and body that leaves him at this time in a serious condition at the Valley Hospital.' The other two boys, after receiving first aid at the hospital, were able to return to their homes. Their injuries, though painful, were not of a serious nature, being bruises and cuts about the head and body. ot Before, and after the banquet, spec-- 1 ial entertainment will be given for the pleasure and amusement of all. Many other features will be added to the day's activities which at this time has not been completely worked out, but a full day's and evening's feasting and frolic is assured to all who will be fortunate enough to be in attendance. A cordial invitation is extended to the people from all over the valley and are assured that their presence will not only be welcome but appreciated.

Away back in 1923 when $125,000 were appropriated for the beginning of a road to the Pacific Northwest via Tremonton and a connecting link over U.

Eight years later the realization of that dream will be consumated for at Strevell next Saturday, November 15th, the Governor of this state, the Governor of Idaho, with and the Governor-eleprominent people from Ogden, Brig-haTremonton and Idaho cities will meet and celebrate the completion of this road. The above mentioned sum was the beginning of this project, this part of the road extended from Brigham City to Chase and consisted of a paved highway In 1924 it was extended to Bear River City at a cost of $150,000, $48,000 of this was sthe cost of the construction of the Corinne bridge over the Bear River. In 1927, $72,000 was appropriated for the road from Bear Rvier to Tremonton. The next year the road went to Rattle Snake Pass and the last link to the Idaho line.

The signing of the World Armistice was one of the most joyous events and one of the most welcome the American people have ever experienced. When the official word was given that the war was over, it was the sig-of nal for the spontaneous outburst emotions pent up for months. Our days of anxiety were over. All of the tension of the war was released in and mad celebration that vibrated to the most distant corners of the land. The fighting men of America had service a gained through their war value of high appreciation of the . citizenship in this country. , of They felt that the same spirit the action, purpose, the same unity of same lofty principles of freedom and them democracy which had inspired be must preoverseas, on to victory served and carried back to civilian Having served their country and served it well, they were imbued with still greater ideals of service.

It was such thoughts as these, in-of culcated in the minds and hearts the American soldier that resulted in the organization of the American Legion: to dedicate its efforts to the service of America in times of peace. The purposes of the American Legion are succinctly set forth in the preamble to its constitution, which has come to be a significant document in American history, among them being: "To uphold and defend the Constiof the United States of tution America."

Most of the dispatches follow a Washington, D. C, date line. The words "President," "White House," "Senate," "House of Representatives," Smithsonian Institution," "British Embassy," and similar words are household words to you, but I suspect that each or all of these term 8 bring to your minds an abstract mental picture which is a composite of history book illustrations, calendar reproductions of government buildings, moving picture news reels and photographic likenesses of outstanding public men, all more or less of a jumble and called to the mind's eye in disconnected phases. Some of you who have not yet visited Washington, D. C, the seat of the government, may visualize the capital city as I did before I went there: very much as a sort of civic campus, upon which were compactly grouped the structures which house the officials and clerical assistants. Despite the likelihood of depreciating somewhat your conception of the seat of our federal government because of the unconscious but certain operation of that potent psychological law which we call "association," I shall make bold enough to superin-pos- e upon the communities of Tremonton and Garland and environs, with which you are all familiar, the central part of the District of Columbia, and take you on a mental sightseeing trip to the key locations.
