Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson will make u "major farm policy" address at 2 p. m.t Saturduy April 3, at the Utah State Agricultural College fieldhou.se, Iogan, Utah. fiunk G. Shelley, Executive Secretary Sec-retary of the Utah State Farm Bureau Bur-eau Federation was named General Gen-eral Chairman for the event at a meeting of Utah, Idaho and Wyoming Wyo-ming agricultural leaders held in Salt Lake City, March 11th. Mr. Shelley announced following the meeting that more than 40 farm organizations in the inter- mountain area have already ex pressed their Intent to cooperate In sponsoring a "Benson. Day' at the U. S. A. C. location. "Secretary Benson, in his tele phone conversations with me, has emphasized repeatedly that he will consider this ns being one of his major talks of the year, "Mr. Shelley declared. "While those of us who are engaged en-gaged in agriculture can view this occasion ns on opportunity to welcome the Secretary of Agriculture Agri-culture 'back home,' we should not lose sight of the fact that inasmuch in-asmuch ns the Secretary Is one of the leuding national figures of our time, we will want to take every possible action to Invite our entire en-tire citizenry to the Benson Day activities, " he added. Mr. Shelley pointed out that in terms of Congressional thinking on nullum, vv e are in a critical period In our history." his-tory." "The evident indecision on the part of Congress to recognize the Secretary's prosposals for an Improved Im-proved Federal farm program Is presumably a reflection of the thinking of the constituents they supposedly represent. In this particular par-ticular instance, there are many of us who feel that Secretary Ben- W Mother, Mother how do your children grow?

He has always been a member of the National Reclamation As sociation, and a Director of the Water Users Association of the state. He was Juvenile Judge of the Fifth District for a period of 10 years. It has been said by pro minent members of the county and state who knew hlrn best that he had brought more outside money into Millard County and had done more for its development and the help of the people than any other citizen of the county. From 1914 to 1030, he represent ed the Peoples Bank and Trust Company of Rockford, Illinois, in association with the late A. W McArthur. During that period he was instrumental in loaning to the farmers of West Millard Conty nearly a million dollars, much of which was used to Improve their farms and save them from other loan companies foreclosing. In 1942 he was wholly and solely responsible for bringing Into Millard Mill-ard County the Japanese Relocation Reloca-tion Project, which was located and operated In the vicinity of Abraham. It was necessary, for someone to sign and commit the delivery of more than 19,000 acres to the Government for the project and water for the same. In order to earmark funds necessary for the building and the purchase of the land and water involved, he signed a contract with the Govern ment to deliver the same for an Initial fund to be used of Five and one-half Million Dollars .This was not generally known by the public and It was not until a year after the commitment that he was wholly honorably released by the Government as having completly fulfilled his part of the undertaking. under-taking. This undertaking was made possible because of Mr. Petersen Pet-ersen representing large Eastern Interests, known as the George S. Ingraham holdings.. There is hardly a tract of land in West Millard County that Mr. Petersen hadn't appraised for a loan or promoted for a sale. Mr. Petersen lost his first wife in March, 1911, and remarried Ethel F. Powell of Salt Lake City. In June, 1044. He had lived In Salt Lake since that time. He Is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ethel Petersen, nnd the following fol-lowing sons and daughters: N. Lowell Lo-well Petersen, Wayne B. Petersen Peter-sen nnd Dornthy Damron, all of Hinckley,; Homer U. Petersen, Beulah Bassett and Barbara Ash-by, Ash-by, of Delta; Mrs. Margaret Jensen of Provo; Mrs. Grethe Shipp, of Richland, Washington, Mrs, Nelda Memmott, Miltord; Mrs. Ward Petersen, Pet-ersen, Gannett, Idaho,; a stepson, step-son, John Powell, also of Gannett, Idaho, a sister, Mrs. Margaret Maw Provo. He had 43 grandchildren. SERVICES TUESDAY Funeral services for Mr. Petersen Peter-sen were conducted Tuesday at 1 p. m. in Delta First Ward, by Bishop Walter Ekins, of Hinckley ward. The opening song was "Oh My Father", by the Hinckley ward choir, and Ephraim Eliason gave the opening prayer. Speakers were Bishop Ekins, Arthur H. Reeve, Dudley Crafts, Clark Allied and Rulon T. Hinckley with tribute to Mr, Petersen for the service he had given his fellow men throughout his life and the high principles that guided him. Ho was a loving husband and father, and had the gift of making mak-ing and keeping friends. His nephew. Parnell Petersen, read a tribute that had been written writ-ten by his sister. Mrs. Margaret Maw. l.add R. Cropper sang "The Lord's Prayer", with Mrs. Cropper as accompanist. acc-ompanist. Mrs. Erma Croper, Mrs. Bertha Love and Mrs. Ruth Talbot sang "My Peace I Leave With, You". The closing sang was "1 !

In 6fh Place Tournament Delta, the 18th rated team in thee B tournament ended its basketball season for another year when they lost to South Summit 60 to 50, giving them 6th place in this year's Class B Championship Champion-ship Basketball tournament, held in Provo, March 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th.. The Rabbits were considered the "surprising" team of the tournament, tourna-ment, as they were not even rated to place. Wednesday night in their first game, the Rabbits "upset" the South Emery crew 48 to 42, to place them in a tough spot for the next night's games. They had to play the winner of the Park City-Springville game, which turned turn-ed out to be Springville, 5th rated team in the state. ' When the whistle blew to start the game, little did the rabbits know that they were on their way to the biggest upset in the tournament. Delta beat the Devils 64 to 47, with this win placing them in the semi-finals against South Sevier. This was the turning point for the Rabbits. They lost a hard fought game to the Rams, 48-46, placing them against what I considered con-sidered the Tuest team In the meet. The South Sevier game was one of the thrillingest of the entire tournament, with neither team being be-ing ahead more than 4 points during dur-ing the game. In Saturday's finals, Delta again lost, this time to a hot shooting South Summit bunch, 60 to 50, and placing them as the 6th place winners of the tournament. The team and the coach want to thank the towns people and the students of Delta high school for coming up and suporting them the way they did. Some of the teachers just about had to teach themselves during the final two days of school, because be-cause everybody was up to the games. In fact it was like going to a ball game at home there were so many Delta fans there, and the team and coach really appreciated appreci-ated it. Delta scores highest No. of points. In Thursday game against Springville, Spring-ville, the Delta Rabbits put on a scoring exhibition that was never matched by any of the other fifteen teams in the tournament, when they upset the Springville Devils, 64 to 47. The closest to Delta's 64 points, was Bingham's and South Summits' 60 points, which they scored in Friday and Saturdays' games. Those on the Delta team that made the 61 points were, Dale Langston 19; David Moody, 13; Carl Winfield 13; Leo Prestwich, 7; Bobby Vest 6; Max Jensen, Leon Lewis, and Kent Dewsnup, each with a total of 2. Parowan Wins 8th Place Parowan high school, the win ner oi tne .Minarn division won Sth place in the big event when they lost to Bingham in the finals Saturday night, 54 to 49. Wednesday night, Parowan and Hurricane, both Region Six teams lost by two points. Parowan lost to Marysvale. 55to 53, and Hurricane Hur-ricane lost to American Fork, 53 to 51. Then Thursday night. Parowan beat Lehi, 47 to 15, and Hurricane out lasted Uintah, 5G to 4G, to place Parowan and Hurricane Hur-ricane against each other in Friday's Fri-day's semi-finals. In the Region 6 play-off hem , in Cedar City the week before,1 Hurricane beat the Rams about 10 points, but Friday night Parowan Paro-wan evened the score with them ' as they won a 57-47 ball game, und eliminating Hurricane from ; the tournament. In Saturday's' game the Rams lost 54 to 49 t Bingham, to place them as the' 8th team. The Crowd J ! Those who were at the games j know the f.ne sportsmanship dis- played by the Delta team won the. approval of the crowd, who were there taking in the games.

Yinfield Places On Second Team Carl Alton Winfield, a senior, and a fine forward of the Delta basketball team, won a place on the All-State Second Team, from both the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune. Carl is only 5 ft. 6l,: inches tall, but his fine shooting ability, and good playing proved to be worth the time and effort he has put into developing it in the past years, and those who saw him play in the league games this year as well as the tournament, will agree that he earned and deserved de-served this place on the second team. Carl scored a total of 127 points in League play this year, to put him the top scorer in the Millard Division, with a 15 point-game average. He scored 35 points in the Region 6 play off tournament in Cedar week before last; and he scored 41 points in the Class B tournament, to make a total of 203 points this year, not counting 12 practice games. That will make an average of 14 Vi points a game for 14 games.
