( From The Utah State Quarterly) Time rolls on and with it comes a new generation of Aggies, following Outbreak of Pests Feared; Must Serious in previous generation's footsteps to add upon the fame of those former Aggies. A few of this new generation may be noted. Entering the Utah Agricultural College with the class of 1904 was George Abbott. While at the college he was very active in numerous campus activities and succeeded in leaving a reputation worthy of any obedient son's emulation. After leaving college, Mr. Abbott went to Tremonton and proceeded to rear that son who should duplicate his father's early maneuvers. In 1927, Emerson George Abbott entered the Utah State Agricultural College. During the first year of his attendance at college Emerson won a letter in wrestling, becoming the first son of a former Aggie to win a letter in any sport at the college. In addition to his early triumph, Emerson proceeded to climb the ladder of collegiate achievement until he was finally elected president of his student body after having been president of his class for two years and a member of many clubs and organizations on the campus. He graduates this Spring from the school of Arts and Sciences, leaving a record which a third generation would find difficult to better. Act at 1?

Fishburn, Dewey and Pearl Leg Injuries Keith Oliver Holdaway, son of Mli and Mrs. Ray Holdaway, of this city, was very seriously injured Wednesday morning while on their farm at Blue Creek. According to Mr. Holdaway, the boy was riding on the back of the tractor, which was pulling a plow up a rather steep incline, when the tractor slipped out of gear, back- -' ing it up and crushing the boy's leg between the tractor and the plow. The accident happened about three- -' quarters of a mile down in the field -from where the car was parked. The father immediately extricated the boy from the machinery and rendered first ' aid by taking his belt and strapping it tightly above the wound, and startled to carry the lad to the car.' Thai mother, who was at the car, saw them'' coming and ran to meet them." The boy was placed on the ground in care of the mother while Mr. Holdaway got the car and rushed the boy to thValley Hospital On examination by the doctor it was found that the boy had received a compound fracture on the leg, between the ankle and the knee and that the muscles and flesh on the leg had been nearly severed completely and torn. cutting the cords and blood vessels in two. In spite of the first aid ren dered by the father, who is a skilled scouter in first aid, the boy lost con siderable blood. Keith displayed exceptional grit in the ordeal, assuring his folks that he C. was alright It is hoped that the acHun-- v cident will not be attended by any ill effects that will not completely mend in the course of time. .

These ladies are in charge of the American Legion Auxiliary's poppy sale at Tremonton. Not only members of the auxiliary but women and girls of other organizations of the city are volunteering to aid in the poppy sale. None of the women engaged in the auxiliary's poppy sales work will receive a penny for their services. The only persons who make any money from the poppy sale are the disabled veterans who make the poppies. They receive one cent for each of the flowers they produce, The rest of the money all goes to support the work the auxiliary is doing for the welfare of the disabled men, their families and the families of the dead. The bulk of the funds raised on "Poppy Day" will stay right here in Box Elder county, to finance the relief work for needy families of veterans during the coming year. A vast amount of hard work is necessary to make the poppy sale a Buccess. The auxiliary is very grateful to the women and girls who give their time and energy to help in this patriotic work of remembrance and mercy . . dency.
