Mr. Smith, a native of Alpine Stake and a member of the Alpine Fourth Ward, was selected to sculp 11 of the 13 life size pieces depicting the role of women to be placed in the Nauvoo gardens. The project, sponsored by the Relief Society, will go on permanent display in Nauvoo after the late June dedication. Mr. Smith said he spent two years working on the project after he received the commission. The work was started at his studio located next to his Alpine home and a number of stake members posed for the various pieces. He explained that several persons were used as models for each piece. After the full-size clay models were made, the individual statues were taken to Provo and cast into bronze. Neil Hadlock, a member of the Alpine Third Ward, directed the casting. The culpted pieces have been on display in the plaza south of the Church Office Building in Salt Lake for the past several months, and have received considerable favorable comment from LDS Church officials and tourists. The April 29 program will include several numbers by the Alpine Stake Relief Society Choir with Marjorie Burgess directing. Accompanists will include Bessie Shawcroft, Irene Halliday, and Varo Hutchinson. Soloists will include Signe Hale on the violin and Julie Turley, vocal.
