Show , PATRONIZE JORDAN STAKE OPERA AT JORDAN AUDITORIUM MARCH 31ST , • Vol. 2 No. 44 -PRIZES OF_FERED 'MRSs BUlKlEY Midvale City, Utah March 31, 1927 Subscrintion $1.00 Year - FOR BEST ESSAYS Concerned over the increase that took place in 1926 compared with 1925 in the number of highway grade crossing accidents and believing that marl' care should be exercised by all ,those crossing railroad tracks, the American Railway Association today announced plans for a nation wide essay contest among school children and college stu: dents with three cash prizes of $250 each, to be awarded the authors of es says containing an outstanding, readily available suggestion for preventing such accidents. One prize of $250 will be awarded by the American Railwa-y Association for the best essay by a grammer student, a similar prize for the best essay by a high school student and a like amount for the best essay by a college student. Under the rules prescribed by the American Railwey Association, the sub ject of the essay is .to be "Cross Cros.<:' ings Cautiously" and each essay is to be limited .W 250 words. The essays must be terse, logical • and constructive and must stress the need for greater care in approaching and passing over railroad crossings. The t!ssays are to be sent to J. C. Caviston, Secretary of the Safety Section of the American Railway Association at 30 Vesey Street, New York City, not later than June 1. Three persons of natio~al reputation to be selected later will act as judges. Under the plan, class teachers in , both grammer and high schools will select the best essays from .their class es and transmit them to their pricipal who will then select the best one from tha.t school and send it to the Superintendent of Schools for the county or an ~uivalent officer. The county Superintendent will then select the best essay written by a grammer student and the best one written by a high school student in his county and will transmit them to the American Railway Association. Colleges may·follow the same procedure except that each college or university, through its proper officer, may select one essay and transmit direct to the American Railway Association. In 1926, there were 5,921 highway grade cr~sin~ accidents, in which 2,492 persons were killed and 6,991 injured. In 1925, there were 5,479 accidents in which 2,206 persons were killed and 6,555 injured. Owing to the increase that is constantly taking place, in the number of automobiles in use, the hazard from such accidents is annually becoming greater. Only through .the co-operation of the public and the railroads can a reduction in such accidents be brought about, in view of the.:fact the complete elimination of highway grade crossings is impossible, not only because of the ,time that ~ould be involved but also because of the prohibitive cost which ultimately falls on the public.

The following poem will show the love of her many friends When to your father's household You'll be called from out the tomb, When your presence their will banish All the sorrow and the gloom. How we'll miss you, Sister Bulkley, And will long for that old friendship, Which time will not erase. Sometime your smile will greet us, And you will clasp us by the hand; Somewhere we will meet you, In our father's spirit land. To us you are only sleepingWe cannot think you dead; We remember wf!Jl your counsel And the words to us you've said. Your influence and example, Will remain forever more, And you've left your light still shining If you have gone on before. Your name we'll hold in reverence, In honor and respect, And of your life and labors, We will often now reflect. The children you are leaving We'll miss their mother's love, But if they heed the savior's teachings They can join you there above. And one by one as God will call them, You will gather them again, And unite t~e family circle And through eternity remain.

The situation woald seem to indicate but one thing. It doesn't necessarily mean that there is a change in our tastes but it is rather the result of the business acumen which is showing itself among the producers of other food stuffs. The sub~titution of other food stuffs for meat fQod products on the American table is of vital importance to every livestock producer. There is the keenest competition between all classes of food stuff and meat, one Qf the most worthy items, is not receiving its just due. The producer of livestock in days gone by has taken rather a self-sufficient attitude, feeling that his product would sell itself being, as it is, a human necessity. To some extent this hal> been true but there is a spread between the point of actual ne-:essity and the buying power of the American public. In this spread is found the reason for the strides that have been made by the producers of commodities who have resorted to salesmanship and publicity in encouraging the public to eat their products instead of meat. The use of so-called meat substitutes has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years and for no other reason than the lack of effort in presenting the desirability of meat as a food before the consuming public. From what has been accomplished by producers of other lines of food stuffs, there can be no question but what an investment in public opinion would return itself many fold to the livestock producer. Past experience has proven that when the movement once gets under way that everyone allied with the livestock industry from the producer to the markets, the packers, distributors, and consumers will put their shoulder to the wheel to make possible a successful "Eat More Meat" campaign.
