Show Mayor Woodbury Lists Municipal Improvt Projects During the past year the City of St. George has had a number of important projects under construction. con-struction. Another group have been presented to the various agencies of the government for its approval. Some of these have been approved and are in line for financial aid in the near future. Realizing that the people of this district were anxious to know their status the News is publishing the following report by Mayor John T. Woodbury, Jr.: Stiitus of City Business in St. George By Mayor John T. Woodbury, Jr. 'Water System Bids for the water system will be opened on October 2 6. If an acceptable bid is presented the city will enter en-ter into a contract to have work done; if not we hope to be permitted per-mitted to do the work "Force account." Tabernacle Street Paving William Qsbourn, state road district dis-trict engineer, informs me that the only thing holding up the project is the fact that the state road commission with its building full of workers has not yet been able t? get the W. P. A. program for it and hundreds of other projects, pro-jects, set up yet. They expect to start them about November 1. he thinks. He says there is absolutely ab-solutely no special prejudice against our city or our project; we fall in a class with all others and nothing can be done to hurry hur-ry the project up until the common com-mon preliminary work is done. If these preliminaries can be done in time, our street will be graveled and oiled this fall. If the weather is too cold for oiling by that time, the gravel will be put on now and the oil applied a soon as warm weather sets in. in the spring. We might easily have had the project completed now had we not wanted to save the people along the street a thousand dollars.

Funeral services were held in the St. George Stake Tabernacle Monday afternoon at 4:00 and were largely attended. As the procession passed from the cars into the tabernacle the class mates of Gleave stood with their heads bowed. The floral offerings offer-ings were carried by members of the class. Bishop Harold S. Snow of the South Ward directed direct-ed the services. The first number was a violin solo by Mrs. Irene Everett. The opening prayer was offered offer-ed by President B. Glen Smith of the Dixie College. A quartet composed of Mrs. Earl Cannon, William A. Whitehead White-head and Mr. and Mrs. Pratt Miles sang, "Face to Face." Henry Holt, the first speaker, spoke of the character of the boy, of his ideals and ambitions in life. Mr. Holt said, "he lived a life of purity and had the courage cour-age to say no when temptations came. He never touched narcotics narcot-ics and sought the finest things in life. He was the mainstay of the family as his father is in very poor health." John T. Woodbury, Jr., told of the sorrow that the parting of loved ones brought, and of the first experience he had with death when he was in Turkey on j a mission and was called to bury three children in one family who had died from pneumonia. "Gleave was an ideal student," said Mr. Woodbury, he loved life, appreciated everything and everybody, especially has he appreciated ap-preciated the opportunity of attending at-tending school and spent his time well. It was just a few days ago that I told him lie was an outstanding student in three classes. He learned to work and expected to pay the price for all he had, he learned to think, act and appreciate. When he was so well trained and had such a good attitude we wonder why he couldn't have stayed here and helped others." A vocal duet, "Whispering Hope," was sung by Mr. and Mrs. Pratt Miles. Henry Bowler spoke of the love he felt for this boy and his folks and stated that Gleave could speak in the words of Paul, "I have fought the fight, I have kept the faith." He . recalled a man In Gunlock who had lost his wife and as he stood with his children at her casket he said, "You have nothing to regret, you have always been good to your mother." "These parents have nothing to regret they have always al-ways been good to their boy," i said Mr. Bowler. "They were sealed in the House of the Lord 1 and gave him the privilege of - being born under the covenant. They taught him the Gospel, by 1 example and precept, they gave 5 him the ' privileges of meeting and associating with the best peo- pie and have done all in their power for him." A vocal solo, "The Lost Chord," was sung by Grant Terry. George W. Worthen, by re-guest re-guest gave a beautiful talk on the resurrection. He quoted from the scriptures and stated that (Continued on page six) G LEAVE HOLT (Continued from page four) when the "books are opened" on the other side this boy will have a splendid record because of his love of the Gospel, his love of home lite, opportunities offered and willingness to serve. Bishop Harold S. Snow paid tribute to the family and stated that many tine things could still be said regarding this family and this boy and that all that had been said was true. Mr. Snow stated that there was no bitterness bitter-ness in their hearts that God had taken home their son. Wished that all parents in sorrow could feel that way at heart. In closing clos-ing he expressed the sympathy of the family to the friends who have been so good to them in their bereavement. Mrs. Pratt Miles read a beautiful beau-tiful verse which was very appropriate, ap-propriate, "Unto Thee Dear God, I Return This Boy." A quartet sang, "Sometime We'll Understand." The closing prayer was offered by Maurice J. Miles, one of his instructors.
