One of these events looks back in tribute to the Mormon pioneer settlers, and the other looks for ward with optimism to the area's future economy. The Utah Park and Recreation Commission has completed the restoration res-toration work on the Brigham Young winter home in St. George, and formal dedication ceremonies have opened this building to tourists. tour-ists. It was Brigham Young who sent missionaries to grow cotton in Utah's Dixieland back in 1861, thus bringing about the founding and settlement of St. George and Washington County. The forward look was brought about with the completion of a new factory in St. George by the Hawthorne Company, a division of Kellwood Company. The firm will manufacture, from cotton fibre, a variety of outdoor recreation items. Thus, in an unexpected way, cotton cot-ton once again becomes an important import-ant part of the economy of Dixie. Dedication ceremonies for the new factory were held June 13, and for the newly-restored Brigham Young home June 14. Pairs of golden sheers snipped ribbons at both sites to officially open them. Gov. George D. Clyde and Mrs. Fred W. Wenzel, wife of the company president, did the honors at the factory. Hugh B. Brown, second counselor in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints snipped the ribbon at the opening oi tne Brigham Young Home. . The new factory, which cost a bout $350,000 to build, will emplo approximately 200 persons in peak product ion. CLOY B RODERICK June is the month for girls with a lot of bride ideas.

Romney, a member of the Council of the Twelve Apostles of the LDS Church delivered the dedicatory prayer at the Brigham Young winter home. Other speakers at the Brigham Young Home dedication were Al-den Al-den O. Hayvvard, chairman of the State Park and Recreation Commission; Commis-sion; Mrs. Preston O. Robinson who led the search for antique furnishings; furnish-ings; St. George Mayor William Barlocker and State Senator Orval Hafen of Washington County. Mr. Hayward said the St. Georga home of Brigham Young will be under the supervision of James G. William, newly appointed superintendent superin-tendent of Dixie State Park. Mr Gwilliam also has charge of the Jacob Hamblin Home in Santa Clara, just northwest of St. George. Brigham Young spent many winters win-ters in St. George, supervising construction con-struction of the temple there. The warm southern climate was good for his failing health. He built the winter home in 1873. In tribute to the great Mormon leader and the agricultural heritage of Dixie, a cotton patch has been planted on the grounds. With completion of the Brigham Young Winter Home Restoration, D. James Cannon, director of the Utah Tourist and Publicity Council, said this summer will be an ideal time to tour southwestern Utah. And while in Washington County, he said, be sure to visit the Mormon Mor-mon Temple there, the Brigham Young Home, Dixie State Park and the Jacob Hamblin Home. "Utah's Dixie is a land rich in pioneer history," Mr. Cannon said. "Everywhere you go you will find evidence of a great pioneer heritage." heri-tage." Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
