D. S. Seminary traveled by bus to outside points last Saturday, to the band festival at Provo forty and forty to Salt Lake City to assist in L. D. S. temple work. The students who attended the music festival went as spectators rather than constants. With a large music program mapped for the Duchesne school during the coming years, Mr. Frank Postma, music director, thought it would be very educational for the students to see the other bands in their maneuvering and hear them play. A number of parents and teachers also made the trip to Provo. The bus carrying the students was driven by Chester Lyman. The forty Seminary students are members of the Junior Genealogical Society. They spent the day at the L. D. S. temple in Salt Lake City. On their return home, trouble developed with the bus driven by Glenn Mickelson, and they did not arrive home until early Sunday morning. i A A " fS i t j SR ik j COURT TERM The names of twenty-fiv-e tax payers were drawn to serve as petit jurors at the June term of the fourth judicial district court for Duchesne county at the office of the court clerk on May 16th by Porter L.

COMMISSION HOLD JOINT MEET A joint meeting of tne Duchesne County Board of Education and the Duchesne county was held at the commissioners Roosevelt Toyack chapter house Friday evening of last week. All members of both boards were present, including Superintendent W. J. Bond and Clerk C. C. Mickelson of the board of education. Problems of mutual Interest to the two bodies were ebscusaed, including county roads and school bus routes, the county nursing program and a proposed child welfare program. Closer harmony between the two bodies in the future was predicted, to be accomplished by a continuance of joint periodical meetings like the one held. There are many problems of mutual concern to the two groups, it was agreed, which could probably be better handled through such joint action. Before the meeting the board of education members made an inspection of the Roosevelt high school. Lunch was served to the members of both hoards preced-hig- h school domestic science department, with Principal Alvin Teuscher acting as host.. school-coordinat- Masons Initiate Two Men From Uintah County Paul L.

Mail Flights Arc Delayed by Rain w s. lt .'y e or It has been decided not to Include Roosevelt as a pickup point, Mr. Dimond said, though no reason was given for the decision in his report. Pilot Vern Carter was scheduled to fly the basin route Thursday leaving Vernal at 2:55, slopping briefly at Roosevelt and landing at Myton at 3:40 p. m. A brief ceremony is scheduled at Myton, before the plane leaves at 3 55 p. m. to continue to Salt Lake City.

M. Famer, district health officer for the State Board of Health at Provo. "While this does not mean that conditions are at all satisfactory and up to par, it does Indicate the character of owners and management of these Some twelve hundred persons from four L. D. S. stakes celebrated the restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood to the Mormon church on May 15, 1829, last Saturday on the site of the old Fort Robidoux near Whiterocks. Similar celebrations were held throughout the church. A feature of the comemmorative program was the unveiling of the Reed Post monument by Mrs. Mary Harris, who gave a historical sketch of her father who helped establish the post, believed to be the first white trading post in Utah. In recognition of, the relation of the Red. Men to the Mormon relegion, forty prominent Indians and their families were honored guests at the banquet. Several of the Indians addressed the congregation, among whom were Henry Harris and Chief John Duncan. Proud of Ited Skin Superintendent C. C. White of the Uintah-Oura- y agency told the White men if they could understand the attitude of the Indian, they would not be so proud of their white skins and would not look down on their Red brothers. The indians consider us as a puny pale faced race, he said, and are proud of their own skins which conform more nearly to the color of the earth. The unveiling ceremonies were under the direction of Chief John Duncan, Supt. C. C. Wright, Mrs. Ray E. Dillman and the tribal committee which inbusiness cludes Oran Curry, Fred Mart, Pawinnee Sapanies Cuch and Roy Smith. Pageant by Mrs, Dillman In the evening, members of the establishments."
