Sampson family, memorializing memorializ-ing their parents, presented a painting of the natural phenomenon pheno-menon "Great Stone lace" to the school. It has been hung in the library at the school. Benjamin F. and Francetta (Cook) Sampson came to settle on the Melville Irrigation Project in 1908. They came from Wayne County in covered wagons with their two children, other family members and friends. Their third child, Charles, was also the third child bom at the new settlement. The rest of their children were born after the town had changed names thru Aiken and Burtner to Delta. Schools were the first concern to those far-seeing pioneers. Fon-tella, Fon-tella, the oldest daughter of Ben and Francetta Sampson, entered the then new Delta High School the first year it opened in 1920. From then to 1945 there were LETTERS . . . TO THE EDITOR The Millard County Resource Development De-velopment Association was organized organ-ized for the purpose of developing and organizing community effort to develop our resources, both social so-cial and material. We first made a survey by a scientific 20 sampling method which brought to light some very startling discoveries. We were losing los-ing out People aging. Our young people nearly all leaving for employment em-ployment elsewhere. And not many young families staying to help replace re-place the losses. Many needs were pointed out to us. Among them: People felt that our educational program should be strengthened in many ways; we need industry both from within our area as well as from outside to help provide employment and income to bolster our sagging economy; a dire need for a supplemental water supply to help in years of drought. These were among our number one problems. prob-lems. As a Resource Development Association, As-sociation, we don't claim the credit cred-it for all of the progress that has been made in solving the above problems. But we would like to point to the steps that have been and are being taken by our people peo-ple to solve this situation just mentioned. men-tioned. Whether we like it or not many thousands of dollars have been made available to our School District Dis-trict by the Federal Government and administered by wise and tal-l ented leaders; it is now paying off in helping our children to build a greater desire to learn as well as training them to meet the problems prob-lems of a fast changing world. The Head Start Program, for four-year olds, was brought to our county because of the Six County Central Utah Resource Development Association Assoc-iation and the part we play in It. Because of wise and quick action on the part of Fillmore leaders the present clothing industry has become be-come a reality. And we are sure the impact of this industry is being felt for the good all over the entire county. Some few weeks ago, by our invitation, business people of the Delta area met at Hatch's City Cafe and formed an industrial type organization to assist industry in locating in West Millard. We feel that this group is making progress and soon, with the backing of the people, another industry will be added to Millard County. We feel that, in part at least, we have stimulated the growth of the Dairy Industry. At least three new dairy operators wil be going soon.

Commissioned by the Sampson family to paint the natural phenomenon phe-nomenon was Professor Boyd Breinholt of the Brigham Young University. Charles I. Sampson brought Prof. Breinhardt to the Delta area several times before the actual painting was begun. As the lovely painting was unveiled un-veiled audible "Oohs" and "Ahs" swept thru the audience. Mr. Sampson described the natural statue as what is now left of the stem of lava flow, topping a rise of ground of about 200 feet above the plain, viewing most of West Millard County. "The Great Stone Face" is situated about ten miles south and west of Deseret.

He'll answer. Bob, that is. Recently, we had friends out for refreshments and conversation, and the conversation somehow got around to bread-making. One friend volunteered "I like sourdough bread and hotcakes, the sourer the better." Another said "Um-m-m. Give me sourdough bread everytime. I like it best when one to look around you. You may have something that can be built into a small industry. Perhaps, only large enough for a family operation; opera-tion; but it will be worth while. We have assisted in getting start ed a school or Day Care Center for the exceptional child. This much needed service will begin very soon. At our request the County Commissioners Com-missioners have appointed people to help plan and start a program for our senior citizens. We will receive re-ceive guidance and counsel from the Utah State Council on Aging. We would appreciate help from all in this very worthwhile project. A very large majority of our people peo-ple join with us in seeing the need for a program to help with mental problems. Action is in progress to help mentally retarded, and those situations that are created by the pressures of life in these times of stress. Our county, as well as others in the Sevier River Basin, have just received very important recognition recogni-tion by being brought into First Phase planning of the Great Colorado Colo-rado River Projeect. These are Red Letter Days for Millard County. The tide has turned. We are on our way up. Let's tell everybody that Millard Mill-ard County is a Great Place to live. As your Resource Development Association, we will appreciate your council, advice and help in provoking provok-ing people and communities to action. Our Tourist season is just start ing; we have a new program of information, history and color. This will be handled by senior citizens who know Millard and all of the interesting things in her history, as well as places to see, and things to do while here. Thanks to all who have helped thus far. Now let's get everybody Involved and really go places. Wallace T. Jeffery Program Director William F. Christonsen's ballot company, UTAH CIVIC BALLET, tWnced to a full house at the Delta High School Audittrium Monday night and into the hearts of the audience. Rapport between performers perfor-mers and audience was excellent. "A bit of Heaven with angels on Father of Our Country," Mr. Samp son said during the presentation. He credited Frank A. Beckwith, editor of the Millard County Chronicle for many years, as naming the Great Stone Face as "Guardian of the Desert." B. F. Sampson family members present for the presentation were (1. to r.) Mrs. Max (Faires) Miner Salt Lake City; Mrs. Lester (Betty) Johnson, Delta, RFD; Mrs. Melba S. June, Salt Lake City; Charles I. Sampson, Provo; Mrs. Fontella Bishop, Delta; and Mrs. Gilbert (Roe Ann) Gooch, Salt Lake City. The young man standing stand-ing at the front is a great-grandson of Mr. and Mrs. B. F.

Their wives were exchanging recipe information back and forth on sourdough and both Bob and I were silent 'cause I'm not a sourdough sour-dough bread maker. In fact, I make very little bread of any kind. Evidently Bob thought he should contribute something so he leaned back in his chair and said "Boy, I like sourdough bread. That's the best." I jumped to my feet in disbelief. For 23 years, I have been under the impression that Bob couldn't care less whether I make bread or not, even sourdough. I couldn't believe my ears. The conversation changed to rock-hunting, Millard County attractions, at-tractions, etc. Soon friends left. They had hardly done so when I turned to Bob and said "If I'm not making sourdough bread for you and you like itso well, I want to know where you've been getting it." (Only I probably didn't say it that nicely!) Rather shamefacedly he said "I used to eat it all the time when I was in the Aleutin Islands and I DID like it." "But, Bob, that was 25 years a-go a-go when you were in service." So, his name has been changed from "Speed" to "Sourdough." Try it. He'll answer!
