"Hundreds of requests from every part of the United States and Can ada have made necessary this third edition of 2000 copies," announced Charles K. Madsen, state director of the Writer's Project. Based on extensive research, the book gives the derivation of almost 700 place names, including both ex tinct and existing names. "A major contribution of the book," said the project director, "is its listing of original place names as they appeared in early histories and manuscripts." This informa tion, he said, is invaluable to his torians, scholars, and others Inter ested in tracing the history of the state, inasmuch as many of the names have long been changed and to find them now would require ex hausting research. In addition to name origins, the book contains a short section of general information about the state, and gives altitudes, populations, and settlement dates of all communities. commun-ities. In the back of the book is the official State Song, "Utah, We Love Thee." The book was revised by the Writers' Project under the editorial editor-ial supervision of Wade W. Kad-leck, Kad-leck, research editor. It was mimeographed mim-eographed for free distribution by the State Department of Public Instruction. In-struction. Copies are available by mailed request to the Utah Writer's Project, Proj-ect, 59 South State St., Salt Lake City, or the Department of t Public Instruction, in the State Capitol. Alice Beck Called By Death Appliance Sales Show Increase Sales of electric appliances by all dealers in the territory served by the Utah Power & Light company in the first three months of 1940 are 8.3 per cent above the corresponding corre-sponding period in 1939, it was an nounced bv W. A Huckins, sales manager of the power company, to day. Mr: Huckins said this increase indicates improved purchasing pow er of the consumer in the inter mountain area and a more general public acceptance of the labor-sav ing electrical appliances. The total sales for the three months by all dealers . reached $1,280,540 compared with $1,182,692 in the corresponding period in 1939, Mr. Huckins reported total refrig erator sales for the three month period were 54.7 per cent ahead of 1939 and water heater sales in creased 61.6 per cent over the com parable period last year.
