The Ross, headed to Moscow to pick up daughter, Vonny Lou, attending school at the University of Idaho, drove on over to Spokane for a visit they wont soon forget. Despite the spring weather, Ross said the trip was well worth it and too short. YOU C AN'T POSSIBLY see all there is to see in one day, Ross said. Ross said the U.S. and Russian pavilions are the He said most impressive. the U.S. pavilion features a film that is an outstanding production.

G and 8 p.m. and that is was hard to see them all in a limited visit. lion The Ross had lunch at the Russian pavilion which included Russian foods. "THEY SPICE THEIR foods differently but they eat many of the same things we do." he said. Ross described the Expo grounds as beautiful with the Spokane River winding through them. He said the lines weren't too long and that the train ride over the falls is a must for all Expo goers. Ross said reservations are hard to get and that his family stayed at the Winne-bag- o Village set up outside of same time Idaho Mission served as mayor of Prestun, Idaho for two terms, and also was a vice president of the Idaho Municipal League.

The new mission is unique in that it has an established temple and temple district within its boundaries at the town. ALL THE MOTELS and hotels were booked, Ross said, but there were plenty of camping facilities outside of town. Ross' main criticism of the Expo was that all the pavi- - PAUL HARVEY NEWS Patricia Hearst: The Rest of the Story BY PAUL HARVEY Patricia Hearst was drag- ged kicking r.nd screaming from her aai tment on Monday, Feb. :. One morth later, the first week in lL'a-c- h, the Hearst family was forced to make an agonizing decision. By a series of coincidences, Paul Harvey News was a party to that decision. Now it's time to tell the rest of the story. YOU WILL RECALL that in early March the gangsters who had kidnaped Patricia Hearst were still demanding free food handouts. Her father was doing everything he could to comply with the several untimatums of the kidnapers. Her tearful mother was publicly pleading for mercy. Charles Mr. Gould, long- time business associate and personal friend of the Hearsts, acted as spokesman for the family on some matters relating to the abduction. Having known and respected Charles Gould for some years I presumed to suggest through him that the money might better be used as a reward lor the capture of the kidnapers. 1IE KELT THERE was logic in my opinion but he also understood the family's reluctance to make any move that might seem to put prices oi the heads of the NOW TO OPEN PUBLIC THE abductors. Such an action by Hearst might invite instant retaliation against his daughter. I mentioned the impasse to another friend, billionaire John MacArthur. who said he would not pay one penny of tribute to any kidnaper but he'd gladly offer a million dollars for the capture of the kidnapers and the safe deliverance of the girl. Then came the fifth day of March. Suppose. I suggested-t- o Gould, that somebody totally outside the family- -a billionaire from faraway re to publicly his willingness to pay one million, dollars reward for her safe return. Surely there would be somebody who knew of her Florida-we- whereabouts, soipebody whose mercenary appetite would outweigh his fear and who would come forward. THEN FOLLOWED hours of discussion with the FBI and with the Hearsts. It must he remembered that at that time the monsterous 82 million food give-awa- y had been fully committed and was under way. There was hope on the part of the family that this massive gesture of "goodwill" might bring the release of Patricia. Mr. and Mrs. Hearst felt that they could not cancel the food program and reached the conclusion that a reward offer could cloud their efforts-anmight be more hurtful than helpful. That part of the case is history, and what I say next dot's not relate to it hut rather to any similar considerations in future. d LOGANA'S new out door POOL SWIMMING Saturday A 1.

The first Mormon settlers into what is now Idaho were about 30 men under direction of Elder Thomas S. Smith, called at a conference in Salt Lake City in April 1835. They were told to establish a settlement among the Bannock and Shoshone Indians, and they built Fort Limhi, later called Lemhi, on a tributary of the Salmon Riv- er June 15, 1855. This was called the Salmon River Mission, but was abandoned in 1858 because of the hostility of the Indians in that area. In 1860, Franklin, situated about one and a half miles north of the Idaho-Uta- h line, was settled by members of the church, and was the first setpermanent Anglo-Saxo- n tlement in Idaho. Apostle Charles C. Rich settled Bear Lake Valley, in the fall of 1863, and those with him founded Paris, and as colonization of the valley by the members continued, a stake was partly organized in 1869. More settlements came into existence prior to 1877, when a more complete stake organization was effected. At the death of Brigham Young in August 1877, there were 29 settlements of Mormons in the Territory of Idaho. Hubbard's Packing Co.
