Show Feedback City Council, without whose help the project would not have progressed as it has, and will continue to do. Much credit must be given the members of the D.U.P. who have worked long and hard, scrubbing and cleaning clean-ing the building, organizing and arranging the exhibits in the museum, and serving as assistant hostesses these past three years. We all appreciate Margery Mackerell's help in organizing organiz-ing and arranging the exhibits exhib-its in the museum, and for 1 her two years of service as the perfect hostess of the building and museum. In 1977 Sharon Olpin, chairman of the County Arts Council, met with theD.U.P. committee and offered her services, plus the help of the Arts Council, for the refurbishing re-furbishing of the old Courtroom Court-room and made it possible pos-sible for theatrical productions pro-ductions there, and to restore re-store the old jail to be used as an art museum. The committee agreed. She and her committee have worked long and hard and as a result re-sult the Courtroom is beautiful, beau-tiful, and the Dungeon Art Museum most interesting, and they add tremendously Dear Red: I had to make a trip to the Milford City Dump last Thursday, and I feel that the City Councilman in charge of the Dump, and also the workers work-ers who are doing the clean up should be given a vote of confidence for a job well done. I have never seen it look as good as it did on that day!! Thanks! Gale V. Banks To the Editor: It is time to set the record rec-ord straight and give credit cred-it where credit is due for the preservation arid restoration res-toration of the Beaver County Coun-ty Courthouse: to theDaugh-, theDaugh-, ters of the Utah Pioneers, and especially to Alta Hickman, Hick-man, Jessie Ward, and Margery Mackerell, without with-out whom we would not have our historic building and museum mu-seum today. First, it was the Daugh ters of the Utah Pioneers who, in 1972, after much persuasion, saved the building build-ing from destruction and gained permission from the County Commissioners and the Beaver City Council to preserve and restore the building as an historic D.U.P. museum. A D.U.P. restoration com -mittee was formed and elected elect-ed Alta Hickman head of the restoration project and Jessie Jes-sie Ward as her assistant. It was Alta Hickman who interested and gained the support of the Utah Historical Histori-cal Society, so the Court House was placed on the Utah Historic Register, and from this organization, and from the National Historic Society. So-ciety. Money and architectural archi-tectural advice have come for the restoration of the building. And here we must recognize the loyal support, matching funds, and labor given by the Beaver County Commissioners and Beaver |
