Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, MARCH 1 1, 1960 Page Three Pioneer Utah Cattleman Named To U.S. Cowboy Hall of Fame honoree this year, Mr. Mitchell said. Colorado, because it had not previously made nominations, had four chosen. Included were John W. Iliff, Charles Collins, William Bent and Martin Sow-de- r. John Albert Scorup, 1872-195- 9 was a pioneer Utah cattleman, one of the builders of empire that became modern Utah; pub-lic official; high authority in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- -day Saints, and was promi-nent in livestock organizations. Scorup's parents came from Denmark directly to Utah. They had eight children, four boys and four girls. John Albert, or "Al" started herding sheep when quite young since his father was re-sponsible for the village flock. At 16 Al was working with cat-tle, which he preferred, riding for W. R. Rex and others. He saved $125 after five months work at $25 a month and bought his first 20 calves at $4 each and the first suit of clothes he had that were not homespun. At 19 JOHN ALBERT SCORUP Trustees of the National Cow-boy Hall of Fame in annual meet-ing, held recently at Ft. Worth, viewed photographs of construc-tion progress of the shrine shared bv thf 17 WPst.Prn stntpc mnrlo he went into the rough White canyon country with his mount and a pack horse and rounded up cows and calves owned by Claud Sanford for a third of the calf crop. In those times and in that country this was quite a feat. Scorup lost grazing land he was using to armed Texans and had many other adventures typi-cal of the times and country. He was outstanding in making and keeping friends among the In-dians, gradually built up live-stock culminating in the S & S Cattle Co., one of the earliest and best outfits in the country, had one of th longest careers as a cattleman, 68 years. He was progressive, always: willing to help others, built up stock quality; helped organize stockmen's associations; served as a county commissioner; was recognized by Master Stockman awards and the designation of "Stockman of the Year" in later times. He was an official in many conservation agencies, a mem-ber of the Taylor grazing advis-ory board; was a bank official and tireless worker for better-ment. f " www---- WVMVWy AAAMVAV plans for additional fund raising through memberships and elect-ed 21 more persons for perma-nent honor in the memorial to developers of the American west. Nearly $300,000 has been paid on the construction contract, trustee chairman Albert Mitchell of New Mexico told board mem-bers gathered from all partici-pating states except Oregon and with underground work mostly done the first $12 million first union is appearing on its hilltop site near Oklahoma City. With cash and pledges on hand about $368,000 is needed to com-plete the first contract, trustees were told by Glenn W. Faris, ex-ecutive vice chairman. Trustees from various states discussed plans for memberships and me-morials in the special donors' room of the shrine as means of raising their quotas, supplement-ing Oklahoma's major contribu-tion. National trustees shared a meeting with the Texas Associa-tion for the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, as a prelude to that state's membership cam-paign under Ralph A. Johnston of Houston. The Texas organiza-tion has 12 area directors, county chairmen and 540 committeemen and voluntarily raised its goal above the 10 cents per capita basis used by states other than Oklahoma, which has a larger quota. Charles Redd of Utah attended his first meeting as a state trus-tee. Added to the national board were David Little of Idaho and Claude Olson of South Dakota, with S. J. Agnew, Washington, named as acting trustee. Twenty one persons were add-ed to the rolls of honor in the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, so named because the image of a man on a horse is the central symbol of the era of western de-velopment and expansion to make a total of 84 thus now enshrined. All are noted for con-tributions to that development or in carrying out western tra-ditions. On an at-lar- ge basis the 1960 honorees are Cyrus L. Holliday, founder of the Santa Fe railway; Frederic Remington, whose art has a touch of universality; Sam Houston whose conquest of Santa Anna advanced southwestern American development by scores of years; and Alexander Swan, largest cattle empire builder of the inter mountain region. Oregon, Idaho and South Da-kota deferred nominating an Benjamin Hampton Seeks Demo Nod For Legislature Benjamin (Ben) Hampton, 788 E. 2940 South, a mechanic for Interstate Motor Lines, Tuesday announced he would seek the Democratic nomination for state representative from the 15th Legislative District. Mr. Hampton, 50, is making his first try for political office. He long has been active in Demo-cratic party affairs and presently is serving as chairman of the party organization in his dis-trict as educational coordinator of the County Democratic or-ganization and as a member of the county executive committee. Phone Firm Wins Management Award A certificate of "Excellence in Management" has been awarded the Mountain States Telephone Co. by the American Institute of Management, H. K. Richmond, district manager, said this week. The certificate was granted after the institute completed a ten point examination of the firm's management operations and accomplishments for the last year. The American Institute of Man-agement is a non-prof- it research and educational organization with headquarters in New York. In selecting firms to receive their highest award, considera-tion was given to many phases of operation. Among other things companies were rated on the amount of information and serv-ice they provided to their share holders, the economic operation of their organization, research, and development projects insti-tuted to provide better services to the general public, production efficiency, sales vigor and gen-eral executive efficiency in man-aging the business. Parents Tend to Underestimate College Costs No one knows exactly how many boys and girls miss out on a college education because the families discovered, too late, that they could not afford the cost. Their disappointment must be considerable, since sending a child to college is one of the fondest wishes of many Ameri-can parents. In fact, nearly 80 per cent of the persons inter-viewed in one recent survey said their major goal in the next 10 years was getting their children through college. On the basis of other studies covering various aspects of col-lege education, the Institute of Life Insurance reports that fami-lies who want a college educa-tion for their children often tend to underestimate the cost. That, in many cases, may be the rea-son why the children do not complete their education. Some months ago several thousand parents were asked what they thought annual college expenses might be. Compare their estimates with the actual costs. Parents' Actual Estimate Cost Private college $1,574 $2,260 (incl. room & bd.) State university 1.370 1,525 (incl. room & bd.) Municipal college 861 1,000 The figures for parents' esti-mates and actual costs are both averages. About 40 per cent of the par- -' ents who said they planned to send their children to college had a definite financial plan to back up their intention. The plan most frequently cited included use of life insurance. The next most frequent plan was savings either in a bank account or U.S. Savings Bonds. Life insurance is used by many families as a way of making sure that money for college will still be available even if the family should lose their father. It worked like this: the father takes out an additional policy on his life, with the benefits ear-marked for his child's education. If he survives he can either keep the policy as general family pro-tection, or he can use the cash or loan values to help pay col- - lege expenses. Unfortunately, a majority of parents who want to send their children to college do not seem to have a definite financial plan. Many of thse who lacked a plan hoped their children would re-ceive scholarships, or help earn their own way through, or re-ceive a loan. Others indicated they intended to pay for college out of current family income. This attitude may well account for most of the disappointments a scholarship or student loan does not come through; current family income is not enough to cover college expenses; a young-ster finds he cannot hold down a job and pursue his studies at the same time. Possibilities such as these em-phasize how necessary it is to have a college savings plan and to start early, while children are still young. Even families of modest means have demonstrated that through life insurance and savings, begun early, they can accumulate enough of an educa-tion fund, supplemented by cur-rent family income, to see a youngster all the way through college.
