IT WAS SIX YEARS AGO when, through the efforts of the Young Farmers organization of the Roosevelt area, the once popular Uintah Basin Industrial Convention was revived after an absence of ten years. . . It was a terrific struggle those young farmers, headed by Forrest Hancock, had in bringing back to life, something that had been dead ten long years. But and a willingness to work, paid off, and the UBIC was EACH SUCCEEDING YEAR, two of which the Young Farmers remained at the helm, the UBIC has grown in popularity among the local people, and in prominence throughout the state of Utah and the West. Each president and his aids have contributed much to making Roosevelt, The Uintah Basin, and the State of Utah, a better place in which to live. And each in his turn has received the commendation of this newspaper for a job well' done. AT THE CONCLUSION of each years convention, I have made the observation in this column that the UBIC is perhaps the mast unique celebration, if it can be called that, of any that it has been my experience to observe. The fact that commercialism has been removed, or left out of the planning, and cultural and educational advantages given the preference, is the characteristic that makes it different from most communities special celebration. Again I would like to recognize this pronounced feature, and compliment the designers of the UBIC for keeping their programs on the exceptional plane of education and culture they have been kept. IT TAKES A LOT OF COOPERATION on the part of people, organizations, and the communities involved, to make any function such as the UBIC a success. This year the president, Loman F. Hutchings, began his big task at a decided disadvantage. He took over the presidency a few short months before August 3, 4 and 5, when the elected president found himself involved to the extent with his job, that he was forced to resign. . . The first move the substitute president made was ask the committee and a secretary for the privilege of naming four te assist him to get things rolling. This request was granted, and they all went to work. EVERYONE RESPONDED WHEN ASKED, and the 1955 UBIC was on its way. It took a heap of planning and hard work in fact it probably cost the president a few sleepless nights, and perhaps an almost ulcer, when some of his. plans didnt click the first time. But our 1955 president proved himself the -- leader and organizer that he is, because when one little disappointment arose, he came back with another idea, and with the almost flawless support his committee gave him, the UBIC rolled merrily on its way. NOW THAT THE BIG DAYS ARE OVER and the spoils have been enumerated and analyzed, we find the 1955 U.B.I.C. was another outstanding success. Its almost a sure thing sufficient funds were accumulated through the dances, booster button salts and concessions, plus the contributions made by the City of Roosevelt and Duchesne County, to insure the financial success of the convention. THEREFORE, AS WE LOOK BACK on the 1955 U.B.I.C., let us all join in a great big, loud cheer for President Hutchings, his Mayor Paul Murphy, Mrs. Ellen Rawlings, Bennie Schmiett and Merlin Sullivan, and the scores of others who directed the UBIC book, flower shows, baby shows, art exhibits, departmental sessions, talent shows, style revues, dances, and many other phases of the UBIC. Each is entitled to be personally mentioned, but space, and the fear of overlooking someone, makes that a difficult procedure. Therefore, let it suffice Thanks A Million Everyone, For Making The 1955 to say UJ3.I.C. a very successful experience and achievement, that compares favorably with the better ones of the past. ts Final Heating Of Scoot Camp Committee Is Held Newlyweds To Be Complimented At Reception Friday, August 12 Rowan C.

County Agricultural Agent It looks like again this year, we had a very successful Uintah Basin Industrial Convention, and to my way of thinking, I feel it is the most interesting I have seen in the agricultural program since I arrived here in the Basin. One of the highlights of our program this year was the visit of our Utah State Agricultural College President, Doctor Darrel Chase, who was our featured speaker for Friday morning. As president Chase told you in his address he is very interested in the people of the state' and in the rural education program, the boys and girls. The College that he is President of, as he stated, is a peoples college, and he feels it is the people who should direct the activities ot that school'.

He was very interested in our Drainage Program, our drainage tour that we had the previous day out to Senor Mortensens and Sons. I think that was one of the most successful tours we have had in the Uintah Basin for a good long time, and I would like to thank the Kiwanis Club for their support in supplying the transportation to and from this project. As our speakers, James Barker, irrigation and drainage sPecialsh LeMome Wilson, soil scientist, Utah State Agricultural and Paul Station, Experiment soil conservationist, Christensen, Extension Service, pointed out to you during their program, there is a lot that we can do individually to better our irrigation and and Senor situations, drainage Mortensen is definitely showing a lot of us how land may be reclaimed and put back to full productivity.
