Show THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER . THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1938 - THE LEHI SUNr LEHI. UTAH . ... HISTORY OF LEHI SUNDAY SCHOOL : , , , , By ANDREW FJELD A WONDERFUL EXCURSION From memory and other sources we know of a very remarkable Sunday School excursion to Salt Lake City over the newly constructed Utah Southern Railroad, which took place within three months after Xrother Yates became superintendent. , ,. During the summer of 1872, the track of the Utah Southern Hallroad company was extended from the Point of the Mountain to Lehi. The first passenger train arrived in Lehi September 23, 1872. This marked the beginning of the regular daily passenger service from Salt Lake City to the settlements south, as far as Lehi. The first announcement of this service appeared in the Deseret :Kews September 21, 1872, and read as follows: UTAH SOUTHERN RAILROAD On and after September 23, 1872, mixed trains will run dally Going South Leave Salt Lake City 7:00 A.

Brother Paxman was a very ardent and enthusiastic Sunday School man. He conferred with the superintendents of the Sunday Sun-day Schools of Alpine, Pleasant Grove and Lehi, and proposed that they undertake to arrange an excursion of the Sunday School children of these four communities to Salt Lake City. The proposition was heartily concurred in by Superintendents" George Clark of Alpine, W. L. Frampton of Pleasant Grove, and William Hates of Lehi. . , , They prevailed upon the railroad officials to convey the children, and all others who wished to go with them to S'alt Lake City and return for the astonishinly low price of seventy cents each. They also arranged a program of sight-seeing in Salt Lake City, and as a grand finale, a matinee in the Salt Lake Theatre. ''. On Saturday, October 19, 1872, the following announcement appeared ap-peared in the Deseret News: "Matinee on Monday Afternoon" "There will be a grand 'Aladdin' Matinee at the Theatre, Monday afternoon, given especially to the schools of Alpine, Pleasant Grove, Lehi and American Fork. "The children of the city will also find all the accommodation they need, the first circle being reserved for their accommodation. "This matinee promises to be the grandest ever held, as far as the number of children is concerned, and 'Aladdin' is a splendid show piece, full of magic transformations, with processions and dances, Just the thing to delight the youngsters." Monday, October 21, 1872 At last, Monday, the twenty-first of October, the date of the excursion, arrived. Long before train time, the roads leading into Lehi from the adjoining towns were crowded with teams and wagons, loaded with eager, happy, expectant children and parents. Twenty-five coaches and two engines were required to convey this throng of animated humanity hu-manity to Salt Lake City, and, thanks to the careful management of the railroad officials" was accomplished in good time and without any accidents. On this m te the following appeared in the Deseret News: y "The Excursionists' "The Excursionists from American Fork, pleasant Grove, Alpine and Lehi, numbering about thirteen hundred persons visited various places of interest in the city today and appeared to enjoy themselves, The great feature of the trip however, to the excursionists, was the visit of the entire party to the Theatre to witness the grand spectacular play of 'Aladdin.' The party itself was sufficient to make a very large theatrical theatri-cal audience, and in addition to it numbers of the city people, adults and Juveniles, attended the matinee which resulted in the filling of the house from 'pit to dome, with a very animated audience, composed chiefly of the Juvenile element of both sexes. "The Excursionists walked several blocks in procession, and were headed by the American Fork Brass Band of which William Grant of that place is the leader. "The excursion was gotten up under the auspices of the Sunday Schools of the settlements from which the participants have come and Is under the supervisional direction of William Paxman, superintendent of the American Fork Sunday School, assisted by the superintendents of the other schools. "The Excursionists, generally speaking, are a hale and hearty looking lot of children and grown people and would be a credit to any region and they certainly presented a very interesting picture while seated In the theatre. They doubtless, heartily enjoyed the play." This excursion was a real outstanding, never to be forgotten event in the lives of all of the young people who participated. To many cf them it was the first time that they had ever seen a railroad train To many more of them it was the first time they had ridden on a train, visited Salt Lake City, beheld the famous Tabernacle and foundation of the Temple which was Just a little above the ground, and attended a play in the historic Salt Lake Theatre. ... , 2?! matlnee' wnlcl was a very elaborate and gorgeous adaptation adapta-tion of that superlative fairy story, "Aladdin's Lamp," was a thriller of the very highest order. So all in all this first Sunday School excursion lias never been excelled by any that have succeeded it i Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gordon and son, Keith, of S'alt Lake City spent Saturday afternoon and evening here visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Theo Pierson.

Sugar beet growing and processing, in a large measure, help support these schools which indirectly mean dollars and cents to the future &f those communities. The farmer, the factory, the associated industries, all pay taxes which support these schools. Because the sugar beet dollar circulates in the same community where it is produced, the supporting of these institutions is made possible. Every man, woman, and child, no matter what his occupation, is thereby benefited bene-fited by the resources from the sugar beet. Thus, the growing of the sugar beet mates possible the increase in culture and education necessary to the progress of the west. latermountain Beet Sugar omp&i&s I wish to thank the people of Lehi for the splendid support they gave me in the Direct Primary election.

Issues New Bulletin On Turkey Disease Sinusitis of turkeys, a disease which causes considerable loss year ly in the turkey Industry in Utah, is the subject of a bulletin just issued by the Utah State Agricultural col lege experiment station. The new bulletin, No. 280, is titled "Sinusitis of Turkeys And Its Treat' ment," and is written by D. E. Mad-sen, Mad-sen, research professor of animal pathology. Symptoms of the disease, .the bul letin points out, are a watery discharge dis-charge from the nostrils and eyes followed by a swelling of the face as a result of inflammation and a& cumulation of mucus in the sinuses It observes, further: The loss from the disease is oc casioned through a pronounced re duction in weight gains of turkeys rather than a highly mortality loss. Limited trials showed the disease could be transmitted by inoculation with sinus exudates. Vaccines did not prove successful in control of the disease. t ' Silver-nitrate solution was found far superior to other medicaments as a treatment. Four-percent solution gave slightly better results than two percent. The syringe method of draining and treating the sinus was found superior to the knife method. Tne bulletin gives the technique, illustrated with pictures, of treating turkeys affected with the disease Methods of using both the knife and syringe are given. .; 0 Thomas Powers, Arthur Glover, Glen Wing, Ralph Goates, Arnold Peterson, Jim Cox and Earl Gals ford spent Sunday at Schofield Reservoir on a fishing trip.
