Her four grandparents were pioneers. She was baptized November 6, 1899 by George Comer, and con firmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints by John Austin. She attended the first four grades of the public school in the Thurman building, and then walked a mile both ways to at' tend school in the central build ing for eight years. She gradu ated from the Lehi high school with the third class to be graduated gradu-ated here, in 1911, after which she attended the U A C and U of U, preparing to teach school. She spent three years teaching, one at Richmond, one at Orem, and one at the Sego Lily school. On September 27, 1916 she was married to Stanley J. Clark in the Salt Lake Temple by Patri arch Hyrum G. Smith. Their first home was In the house now owned by Melba Clark, near the old Clark home. They lived a year at the Saratoga farm, after which they moved to their present pres-ent location. To this home came four fine sons, Keith of Lehi, Stanley, who died very young, Duane, now serving our country at Hulen, Texas, and Varland of Lehi. In 1909, while she was still attending at-tending school, she served three years in the Primary as secretary. while Mrs. Polly Losee was president, presi-dent, and later as counselor to Ella Davis in the First ward. Myrtle was sustained as counselor coun-selor in the Mutual of the Fifth ward, serving faithfully. She helped with many entertainments entertain-ments and canyon trips. She gave the literary lessons in Relief Re-lief Society, and was always ready to give an original poem to honor her associates. Then she responded to a call to be secretary secre-tary of the Relief Society, where she worked from January 19, 1938 to October 1938. She served as second counselor during 1939 and 1940. There was never a ward reunion re-union or entertainment project to raise money for the building fund that didn't require Myrtle's helping hands, and her wise plans and cheerful attitude helped help-ed many to accept their responsibility respon-sibility more readily. When 4-H clubs were first in troduced into Lehi, Myrtle and Stanley went to the Agricultural College and studied the plan, and then organized the first 4-H clubs for boys and girls in Lehi, For two years Myrtle took charge of the Lehi needlework and handicraft exhibits at the county fair. She served on the Lehi library board for many years. Besides serving in these public According to announcement at Washington, D. C, Monday the Reconstruction Finance Corp. is to make a thorough study of Geneva steel plant and Basic Magnesium in Nevada to determine deter-mine how they will fit into the postwar picture, and what conversion con-version or changes, if any, may be deemed advisable to preserve these giant war babies and continue con-tinue their operation when the war is over. The studies of individual plants. such as the magnesium plant at Las Vegas, Nev., and the steel plant at Geneva, are to deter mine postwar possibilities. This includes methods of cutting op erating costs (whether through operating economies, process changes, or future capital ex penditures), of developing by products, of Improving products and processes, and of developing uses of new wartime products and increased wartime capacities, capaci-ties, it was explained. Already the entire capacity of the Geneva plant is being absorbed ab-sorbed and local announcement has been made that six more open-hearth furnaces are to be readied and blown In thi3 month. Three of the new furnaces will be blown in during the six weeks, beginning about August 1. Upwards Up-wards of 100 men will be needed at the plant as labor trainees to man the new open hearth furnaces furn-aces during the preliminary period per-iod and later on for regular operation. op-eration. The labor situation is critical at the plant, and most of the coke oven and blast furnace furn-ace crews are operating short-handed short-handed already. At the present time the plant is turning out from 1000 to 1500 tons of steel plate per day for the west coast shipyards, with an operating force of 3400 men. It is estimated that when the plant attains full capacity production, the labor force will have to be increased in-creased to 4800 men. This number num-ber is exclusive of the workers at the coal mine in Horse canyon and the Keigley quarry in Payson canyon, which employ another 1000 men. It is possible that the plant production will be expanded to include steel billets for shell casings, cas-ings, to be processed at ordnance plants elsewhere in the country. The Defense Plant Corporation's research department is already working on post-war operation possibilities of the plant. activities, she was faithful to her home duties, always honored her husband, and was a loyal wife and mother. She took great Joy in her home, her flowers, and her needlework. Always willing to share her talent, she was called call-ed many times to make favors, decorate cakes, and help in other ways to make entertainments a success. She passed away July 23, 1944, having lived a wonderful life, worthy of our love and esteem. ; "r Proper Eyewear Helps You Do More Work! Eyeglasses that free yon from eyestrain make your Job easier!
