Show V : Rudgar McArthur Home ! After Two-Year Mission a Rudgar McArthur, son of Mr. and s Mrs. W. W. McArthur, arrived ; Feb. 2nd, from filling a two-year j mission to the northern states, . and will make his report next . Sunday in the West ward services, serv-ices, being a member of that ward. Leaving St. George Jan. 16, 1941, Rudgar spent ten days in the mission home in Salt Lake City before leaving Jan. 27th for Indianapolis, Ind., going next to Cambridge City, where one of the most progessive branches of the mission is located. Here, along with regular work, the missionaries mis-sionaries assisted with completing the erection of a fine chapel and country school house, which were built by contributed labor and materials as a branch project. Going next to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, they had the privilege of visiting the largest manufacturing home of Quaker Oats in the world, and the large starch plant, which are among the many industrial in-dustrial centers of this busy city. Here, many students from the state university congregate, affording af-fording the missionaries an excellent excel-lent opportunity to contact the various fraternities and present their film lectures on Mormonism and its associated programs. His next assignment was to Cincinnatti, Ohio, where he had many very interesting experience going from there to Portsmouth' Ohio, the city recently visited by heavy floods. He reports good work being done here by mis. sionaries. The concluding several months of his mission were spent in Chicago, where he served as recorder re-corder of the Northern States mission until his release Jan. 27. He was fortunate in getting to drive a car from Chicago to Utah, and reports a fine trip in spite of heavy snows along the high-ways. |
