Hi Folks, ' Once upon a time a lovely jady dreamed of a time when Utah would have a day set a-t,art a-t,art known as Poetry Day. Now the dream is to be realized, for Governor Herbert B. Maw has Issued a proclamation designating designat-ing October 15 shall be known throughout Utah as Poetry Day, tnd the poet Clair Stewart Boy-jer Boy-jer can now say that's one more dream come true. I Our Utah Pioneer ancestors Relieved song and poetry was hpcessarv to awaken the soul wd mind to a better way of life, to add culture to any given giv-en ' assembly; that poets and fong writers were the most well-adjusted well-adjusted individuals and they lent great happiness to all who partook of their gifts freely; that the pioneers who wove poetry poet-ry and song into their very ; lives drew nearer unto God. I think it takes some one very special to write poetry some 1 one with a deep appreciation ' for the finer things of life. A poet can say things better, more jjeautifully and in less space than any writer of mere prose. Poetry from my scrapbook for jours: ! "JIST A SITTIN," by J.

Fairless, president of the United States Steel corporation, cor-poration, painted a rosy picture of an expanding industrial empire for Utah county in a talk before city an county officials offic-ials and members of the press on Tuesday. Mr. Fairless, the nation's top steel executive, predicted that more and more finished steel products would be manufactured manuf-actured at Geneva and he said that several other concerns are studying the Geneva area as possible places to establish r 1 .

With him were Mrs j SSf aKlXch! i president of the Consolodated Western Steel company, west coast subsidiary of USS. In his talk before the Utah county erourj Mr. Fairless declared de-clared that the United States is now producing 57 percent of the world's steel, and that his company is producing 32 percent per-cent of the nation's total- He said that there is now almost an insatiable demand for steel, despite the fact that production is above any peace-time period. He referred to Geneva as the "steel man's dream." It had good raw materials near by, a perfect plant, a staff of men with ability and ingenuity, a quality product and a fine mar ket. Mr. Fairies was lavish in nis praise of Geneva Steel workers and executives, explaining that many of them came here from the east with reluctance- Now he pointed out, none wish to return. re-turn. He said that there were those who predicted that steel could not be manufactured profitably prof-itably in Utah, and that Utahns would not welcome a foreign corporation into the state. Those predictins were proved wrong, Mr. Fairless said. He commended highly Dr. Walther Mathesius, president of Geneva steel, for the record which the plant has made and for the standing it had achieved. Mr. Fairless declared that the enlargement program which his company had agreed to when the Geneva plant was purchased, purchas-ed, was being carried forward on schedule.

A great many students have missed miss-ed school so far this year because be-cause of farm work. Parents are be-(asked to urge students to attend school whenever possibie.
