Valentine To Be Guest Of Honor At Open House At Norman Jenson Home Sunday Mrs. Annie H. Valentine will be guest of honor at open house Sunday, April 18, at the home of Fg daughter, Mrs. Norman Jenson, 118 south Second east, Brigham City. The occasion is her eightieth birthday anniversary. Friends and relatives are invited to call between the hours of 2 and 6 oclock in the afternoon. Mrs. Valentine was born April 14, 1868, in one of the first homes in Brigham City, built of adobe bricks, molded by her father. This home was located on the east side of First west street, as it now is called, and about in the middle of the block between Forest street and First north, the present location of the Wight ice plant. Her parents, Frederick Ferdinand Hansen and Kathrine Rasmussen Hansen, both were early pioneers. Her father was one of the very first converts to the L. D. S. church in his native land, and was a member of the first small group of 28 Latter-DaSaints to emigrate to America in June, 1850. Like all pioneer girls, she was early schooled in duties of homemaking, cooking, sewing, spinning, knitting and weaving. She was married to August W. Valentine July 13, 1893, in the Logan temple. They made their home in Brigham City at the corner of First west and Fifth adobe south in a house, which later was replaced by a large brick house, where she still lives. To them was born seven children. The second, a son, died when he was five years old. The other six sons and daughters are May V. Jenson, Corinne V. Springer, Kaysville; A. Ray Valentine, Manhattan, Kans.; Ada V. MilRea V. Rees ler, Farmington; and Don 11. Valentine of Brigham City. She also mothered three children by a former marriage; they are Estella V. Grp-vdSalt 'Lake City; Ella V. Reeder, Brigham City, and Leonard W. Valentine, Nampa, Ida. There are 12 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Mrs. Valentine was very active in church organizations. She was an officer in the Y. W. M. I. A. of the Second ward for S. U. P.

Don Rasmussen was elected chairman of the county recreation board of directors at the permanent organization meeting held at Bear River City at the ward chapel Monday evening. At a previous meeting he had chairbeen named temporary man, and has headed the new program of county-widsports and recreation activity in its formative stages, during the past three months. Charles Cutler of Garland was elected vice president. The seven elective members to the board of dirctors, named at the meeting, are Norman Jeppsen of Mantua, Glen M. Bennion of Brigham City, W. Lester Dredge of Brigham City, Grant Garner of Tremonton, Bill Gildes of Portage and Del Kidman of Beaver e Dam. Five additional members to the board are to be appointed, one each by the board of education, the county commissioners and the three L. D. S. stakes in Box Elder county. Public Enthusiastic The enthusiasm displayed at the meeting was certainly encouraging to the prespects of our first summers recreation program," Rasmussen reported. It certainly looks like recreation is getting onto the right track in Box Elder county this year. If everyone will maintain this enthusiasm, I'm sure we'll come through the tough first year with something truly worthwhile, a real step toward a better life for everyone in the county, young and old alike." Rasmussen admitted that the of the reorganization set-ucreation program "sounds complicated, but actually, he said, a minimum of central control is being set up. The real power of the program will be in the congress of recreation leaders, to be appointed by every town and community in the county. The entire county recreation program will be in their hands, with a minimum of direction from the board of directors," Rasmussen Si. & . Annie Board Will Advise v f H.

Other interested persons are invited to attend, he added.. Each To Havq Job EiiCh of ; ,the ,12 members of the board of directors seven elected and five appointed will be assigned responsibility for one phase of sports or recreation in the county, with the other board members serving only as advisors in this particular sport or activity. The board member, in turn, will appoint a committee from the recreation congress to assist him in supervision of his particular field, it was explained. Under the program, the individual recreation community director will be on his own," if he chooses to be, it was further explained, and there will be no coercion or direction from the board of directors or the director and committee in charge of any particular activity. On the other hand, each community director has the entire county organization either the board, or the committee on any particular activity back of him, ready to lend any assistance possible at any time he chooses to call upon them. Will Coordinate Beyond standing by to render this assistance, when it is requested, the board and the activity committees will serve only in coordinating the program on a county-widbasis, drawing schedules for a up eounty-widminimum of conflicting dates, and clearing procedures and techniques that prove successful in one community so that all communities may take advantage of them. It was reported that most of the town and city governments, the board of education and the county commissioners are in full sympathy with the program, and ready to support it to wholeheartedly, to whatever extent the public desires. Meeting Friday Friday night at Tremonton the newly-electeand appointed board of directors will meet at Tremonton, at the library, at 8 o'clock to assign directors to the various activities and sports, and insofar as possible to make appointments from the recreation congress to fill out these activity committees. This (Wednesday) evening Rasmussen will meet with the Junior Chamber of Commerce at their membership meeting in the Commercial clubrooms, beginning at 8 oclock, and explain the program in its entirety to that organization, and to solicit their cooperation in the baseball program in Brigham e e City. The two films for Thursday nights program were produced by the national film board of Canada, and are rated standing" in their field. out- |
