Gateway Club Hears Report Of Liaison Civic Club Committee President Ernest W. Crocker, presiding at the regular meeting of the Gateway Club in the American Legion Chateau Wednesday evening, made a report ot the meeting of the Civic Clubs liaison committee in Roosevelt last Monday evening. The committee, composed of the civic organizations of the Uintah Basin, is a result of a motion passed at the last meeting ot the Associated Civic Clubs of Eastern Utah before that organization disbanded. Heads of the Duchesne Gateway, Commercial and BPW clubs, the Roosevelt Lions, Commercial, BPW and American Legion, the Myton Commercial and Vernal Lions, BPW and American Legion were present.

An effort will be made to procure bumper cards bearing this slogan and sell them to Uintah Basin enthusiasts to attach to their cars. Stickers in the shape of a map of Utah bearing the slogan for attaching to envelopes were suggested also, in an effort to make the state of highway 40. Proceeds from the sale of the signs and stickers will go toward a field executive to promote the early completion of the highway Mr. Crocker reported. Following Mr. Crockers report local matters were discussed at the Gateway club meeting. A motion was passed instructing the Soil Survey committee to enlist the cooperation of the balance ot Duchesne county in working toward the early completion of the dates.

Dr. ot Thos. Parran, Surgeon-Generhts broadcast appeal the Service, to every state in the union to k his problem through its State Board of Health, and the response has bet n astounding. Instead of a desire to hush all mention of the problem, as has been the custom in the past, newspapers, nationai weeklies, monthly publications and many national organizations have found the public clamoring for information on the subject, not only for themselves, but for their young folks and students. Dr. Carr, a noted authority on the problem, made an investigation of the venereal disease problem in Utah, and furnishes the details of his findings in his lecture. Mrs. Ada C. Jennngs, Myton, and Miss Bertha Becker, Duchesne, Public Health Nurses, with the assistance of local school and other officials have arranged meetings at Roosevelt Monday evening and Tuesday, Altamont and Altonah, Tuesday; Neola and Myton, Wednesday; Tabiona and Duchesne Thursday, and Duchesne Thursday evening and Friday morning.

He spoke of conditions in the Duchesne Stake and exhorted all to the living of the Gospel every day of their lives. Heber Moon advised the people of Duchesne to make the best use of the many opportunities that are here and not to look to other states or counties for greener pastures. Above all, he said, we should make our lives well balanced. Edith Hancock of the Bluebell ward, who recently returned from the Canadian Mission, spoke of the people of Canada whom she had learned to love. Elmer R. Moon of the Redelift ward, who had just returned from the Canadian Mission praised the radio and press for their help in missionary" work of today. Ellis M. Burton, who has served two years in the East Central States Mission, spoke of his many missionary experiences and bore a strong testimony of the divinity of the Gospel.
