No man has ever done anything without first of all dreaming about it. We dream of things and then if we are men of action we set about realizing our dreams in our waking moments. Ramsey MacDonald. For many years I have been dreaming of seeing rows of beautif-- . ul trees adorning each side of Main from McPherson's on street the North to Ruben Stanley's on the south, and now after these long a ) years, through the efforts of group ot energetic young men backed by a progressive city coun- city, that dream is being realized. These men of action are fulfilling a dream that has been in our minds for a long time we are proud of being able to live long enough to see rows of uniform trees being planted along our main street. Recently I visited in Brigham City and took special notice of the beautiful hardwood trees which it adorn its main thoroughfare is a sight that the traveler greets as he enters either end of that beautiful Main street. Beautiful trees are the foundation for the building of a beautiful city. With this program of tree comes the annual planting Clean-u- p and beautification Nephi citizens are program. to be complimented on the efforts that are being put forth this spring in this CLEAN-UCAMPAIGN.

The spirit of cooperation is in this manifest certainly Clean-u- p campaign, and I know it brings a lot of joy and pleasure to Mayor Wilford Bailey to know that the Nephites are a people with the true spirit of cooperation In their hearts.

It is very hard to determine who gets the most out of such a fine entertainment as that cantata the listeners or the The persons who perform. general public appreciates the entertainment very much, but my what a pleasure it must be to be able to sing like those men and women. The presentation of such a fine entertainment, with such & wonderful theme, thrills all listeners to the depth of their souls, and in behalf of the people of Nephi I wish to praise the members of the Fid-elChoral Club, the Carol 'On chorus and the Nephi City Male chorus for their fine contribution to the community. I would also like to praise the people who sing and play at funerals and other gatherings, for their unselfishness in giving of their time and talents. Nephi is blessed with an array of musical talent, and they are unselfish when it comes to donating their time for the benefit of the community and for its entertainis ment.
