Somewhere in Utah's forests a Cinderella tree awaits, the magic moment when she may suddenly be touched for fame and fortune. The Cinderella tree may be an aspen, a cottonwood, a lodgepole nine or some other neglected same story have happened to such other Utah trees as white fir and Engelmann spruce. Blaz-zard- 's committee handles enroll-ment of privately owned Utah forest land in the forest indus-try's Tree Farm program. Tree farming is sponsored in the pine region by Western Pine Assn. to encourage more forest landown-ers to grow trees as a renewable crop. Blazzard said the Cinderella mantle may even now be drop-ping on lodgepole, Utah's most prevalent timber species. There are some 2.2 billion board feet of lodgepole pine in the Bee-hive State 27.6 per cent of its total timber resource. "Lodgepole pine has a beauti-ful grain and takes a fine finish when properly kiln dried," the industry man said. "There are already a number of mills be-ginning to appear elsewhere in the pine region that process lodgepole pine exclusively. If markets develop, it will become feasible to apply more intensive tree farming techniques to main-tain the health, vigor and pro-ductivity of our lodgepole for-ests." species that seems to have little apparent commercial value at present. The rags-to-rich- es story has happened to other trees. Take the majestic hemlock of the Pacific Northwest forests, for example. It was once scorned as an inferior lumbermaking spe-cies. Then someone discovered that its fibers were unsurpassed for making paper, and today the hemlock is cultivated by forest-ers as a valuable tree. Ward Blazzard of Kamas Val-ley Lumber Co., Kamas, chair-- ! man of the Utah Tree Farm Com-mittee, says variations of the Hercules Readies Two Displays For Armed Forces Day Hercules Powder Company's Bacchus Works will have two dis-plays in operation Saturday as the nation observes the annual Armed Forces Day Open House at various military installations. A large display, including un-classified rocket cases and photo- - graphs, will be open to the gen-eral public at Hill Air Force Base as part of the state-wid- e open house planned by various branches of the Armed Forces and defense industries in Utah. A second display will be open at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Great Falls, Montana, site of the first Minuteman ICBM squadron. The Hill Air Force Base open house will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The general public is invited to attend the day's activities at Hill. They will see not only , the Hercules dis-play, but several other interest-ing exhibits. At both Hill and Malmstrom, the Hercules movie, "Out of This World," will be shown periodi-cally to the general public. Purpose of Armed Forces Day is to show the state of military readiness of the United States and how this readiness is ever more dependent upon the team work of the military and indus-try. Kiwanis Charters 5,000th Club in Indiana Services Thomas M. Ivory, president of the Kiwanis Club of Sugar House received word from Kiwanis In-ternational, Chicago, that Ki-wanis received its 5000th Ki-wanis Club, Chartered April 30 in special ceremonies at Ball State College Student Center in Muncie. President I. R. "Whitey" Wit-thu- n, Milwaukee, presented the charter to Paul B. Huntzinger, president of the new club. There were 57 charter members pres-ent. The Kiwanis Club of Muncie, headed by President Floyd Mc-Willia-sponsored the 5000th club. Witthun characterized the event as "the attainment of an-other milestone in Kiwanis' 47-ye- ar history of growth and prog-ress." He said that the circumstance of the Kiwanis Club of South Muncie receiving the number 5000 was a mathematical hap-penstance. He characterized it, however, as "a happy coinci-dence because Muncie, 'home of the 5000th club, was once select-ed as the most typical of Ameri-can communities for a now-classi- c sociological study called 'Middletown'." "That the 5000th Kiwanis club should be established here," he said, "proves that the most typi- - 1 A a J i i Club of Hamilton, first Kiwanis Club in Canada; Clum Bucher, Bloomington, Indiana, Interna-tional Trustee; D.

"Pete" Peterson, Chi-cago, Secretary of Kiwanis In- - cai oi American institutions, tne service club, is today more vital than ever in the life of the typi-cal American community Muncie, Indiana." Included on the program were Harry A. Young, Detroit, last living founder of Kiwanis; H. Lloyd Fawcett, Hamilton, On-tario, representing the Kiwanis ternationai. In accepting the charter, Paul Huntzinger, president of the new club, pledged himself and his 57 fellow charter members to meet the special challenge im-posed upon the 5000th club; to be a credit to the organization, to the nation, and to the com-munity in which they will serve. Rep. Elizabeth Vance Announces Plan To Seek Re-electi- on Elizabeth Vance, incumbent Democratic Legislator, today an-nounced her candidacy for re-election as Representative for the Fifth Legislative District of Weber County. Chairman of the Licensing Subcommittee of the Legislative Council, Mrs. Vance also was recently appointed to the Gov-ernor's Advisory Committee, for the State Mental Health group. Mrs. Vance feels her previous experience will enable her to render even greater service in the years immediately ahead. "I believe I am fully aware of the area's needs and its grow-ing importance as a center of the nation's space and missile com-plex, and there is yet much to , be done in providing adequate opportunities that will enable our youth to obtain productive training and employment. Our boys and girls need to be kept busy." "Senior citizens in our com-munities, likewise should not be forgotten," said Mrs. Vance, con-tending that a review of the State pension structure is long over-due. Mrs. Vance recognizes that our physical location places us at the crossroads of the nation's rail industry and has expressed her belief in fair labor laws for all and adeauate nrotection for railroad employees, as well as other employee groups. Among the areas deserving im-mediate legislative attention, ac-cording to Mrs. Vance, are the vastly overcrowded school facili-ties and continued improvements at the State Industrial School, the Deaf and Blind School, Utah State Mental Hospital, American Fork Children's Hospital, and the Day Care Center for Handi-capped Children. An active participant in achieving four-yea- r status for Weber College, Mrs. Vance be-lieves that, "wise action by the Legislature can immeasurably assist the college in its progress during these transitory years." Mrs. Vance has worked on every major committee in the House and sponsored legislation to protect children from molesta-tion by sex offenders. She resides with her husband and daughter at 1136 Twelfth Street and is active member of the Ogden Twenty-firs- t LDS Ward. fayGMette Adjustable Razor 9 Settings - for Superb Shaves!

Governor Sees Democrats as Holding Their Own The former Democratic gover-nor of New Jersey predicted in Salt Lake City this week that "assuming a stable economy the Democratic Party will hold the congressional majorities in this year's election." Former Gov. Robert B. Mey-ne- r, who now is practicing law in Newark, N.J., was in Salt Lake City on business. He said his reading of the cur-rent political scene indicates that the public feels President John F. Kennedy is doing a good job and that the Democratic Party is not likely to lose congressional seats unless there is a disturbing downturn in the economy. The former governor said he still is keeping in touch with New Jersey politics but that he had no plans for 1964. The state's Senate seat which will be filled in 1964 now is held by another Democrat who actively support-ed Mr. Meyner. However, the situation in 1966 might be different, he indicated. Then the Senate seat held by Republican Clifford Case will be up. |
