I At the meeting of the City Council, which followed, the advis-!orcommittee of the BPW asked that the City make application to ilie Federal Public Work Administration. It was thought that this agency might be of assistance with the pool and the City officials acreed to make the application. Following is an excerpt of a letter received by Mrs. Helena B. .McGarry from Senator Abe Murdoch, dated Feb. 25th: "I have just finished reading yours of February 20 concerning the contemplated swimming pool project at Beaver. I sincerely compliment your organization on this ambitious enterprise. Nothing is more needed in a community like swimBeaver than an ming pool. When you see the recreational advantages of swimming throughout our whole country as as result of fine, modern pools, it seems criminal that the fine boys and girls of Beaver are not affordI ed opportunities in this line. have for many years advocated, a municipal swimming pool, and 1 do hope that the interest now being taken by your organization will culminate in its realization. "I feel that now that your group has initiated the project, it might be well for you to consider enlisting the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club, the Church, the schools, the county and the city, the Odd Fellows, the American Legion and its Auxiliary and any new organization which the World Warr II veterans may organize. The project, in my opinion, is large enough to warrant fins er v te d participation by all organizations. "With present-da- y buildings costs, 310,000 seems rather a small Riim to me. I am, therefore taking the matter up with the Federal public Works Administration here in Washington to see Just what assistance they may be able to render. I am quite sure they will be very willing to give us all he engineering help you might need, and estimates on different fypes of pools. This should save you considerable money on these civic-minde- Items." KH MR SOIL CONSERVATION UI.Ef TS BEAVER CITY, UTAH, FRIDAY, MARCH Murdock Schedules Dis-'ri'- t.

Sen. Murdock will accompany W. Stuart Symington, assistant secretary of war in charge of air commerce, who will be the featured speaker at the Utah observance.

Senator Murdock is also slated to address this gathering of the Democratic workers. Over 1200 are expected to attend this affair which will cost $25 per couple. Arthur McFarlane is the general chairman of this annual banquet, with George W. Morgan, Salt Lake County commissioner, as head of the finances.

Spotlighting UTAH Utah's f)ldest Wajfon' Road The oldest wagon road in Utah is in Box Elder County. Over it passed the first recorded train of emigrants headed for California and known as the John BIdwell party. They brought the first wheeled vehicles into Utah six years ahead of the Mormon Pioneers. In fact, Brigham Young's original party had no difficulty in following the wagon wheel trails left by the BIdwell party, who with another group of adventurers led by Father DeSmet, left Sapling Grove, Missouri in the spring of 1841 for California. Near Soda Springs, Idaho, the BIdwell party of 34 persons travel-la- g in covered wagons left DeSmet and followed the Bear River south. They crossed the low hills near Colllnston, Utah, where Jim Brld-gflrBt viewed the sparkling waters of Great Salt Lake in 1824. Near where Corinne now stands, the party turned west and crossed Promontory Mountain over the exact spot where years later in 1869, the Union Pacific and Central Pacific rail met. From promontory westward, their wagon trail can still be traced as it wended its way to where Kelton now stands and thence onward to Owl Springs, Box Elder County, where two wagons were abandoned. None of these wagons of the 1841 trek ever reached their destination, and after suffering terrible hardships, the party finally reached California without loss of life. Box Elder County would do well to mark this trail the oldest wagon road in the state. er Hafen, Dixie center, paced the Flier attack with 14 points, but honfailed to capture ors, Manzlon of Reaver hitting the bucket for 16 points on the strength of five field goals and six foul tosses.
