honor a and as all the players are in practice good games are enjoyed by the thousands filling the stand and flanking the field on all sides rodeo and horse races are not a part of the sports program arranged and endorsed by the executive committee of the U B I 1 C and are not permitted on or near the ground during the session of the cov convention these sports are not recognized as coming within the scope of educational and recreational purposes tor for which the convention is i organized organic ed and supported it is the determination of the executive committee to permanently exclude from the convention all extraneous and detrimental influences tending to create undue rivalry and strife the U 13 1 I C has proved the fallacy of the contention that rodeos and horse races are necessary to got the crowd while the baseball game is being played indian men and women will present ceremonial tribal dances on a spacious platform it is only on raie occasions that indians indiana consent to perform these dances during other than the regularly designated periods of the year when they hold them in accordance with their religious and social tenen tenants ts and it is still more rare to obtain their consent to stage them them away from their local haunts during the evening hours after the sun has baa set and darkness gathered when electric lights cast their beams from among the shadows of the cottonwood and poplar trees the dances present a weird effect not soon forgotten ten by the beholder community singing once a habit in utah but in the past ten hectic years an almost almosa forgotten art is EL a feature of 0 each days session of the convention it Is one thing to hear a trained choir sing trained melodies but it is quite another thing to hear an assembly of men and women old and young sitting on the lawns beneath beautiful trees sing the songs of days of long ago mandof many of the aged visitors to the convention sing the melodies they sing at the camp fires on the only barren desert st when they grossed crossed the plains more than a half century ago long before utah became a state long before a white man or women lived in what Is now known as the uintah basin long before fort duchesne was built lf if the U B 1 I C had accomplished shed nothing else in behalf of the welfare 1 of the people in whose interests 1 if was vas created jt it yet can not be de blied that thai it did at least one good deed aeed in reviving community singing but there is no question that the convention has served more than one good purpose indeed in bringing together thousands of residents of a part of the state slate of utah whose interests are in common whose welfare and development depends on neighborly borly operation cooperation co eminent speakers have been invited to attend the convention and address the assemblies governor george 11 II dern of utah will be one of the speakers and the governors of colorado wyoming nevada and california have been invited
