X-R- Lauds Pioneers of State of Utah V2 Speaker No movement of peoples was ever more entitled to recognition than that made by the Mormons from Nauvoo, Illinois, to the Great Salt Lake Valley. This unqualified opinion of the Mormon pioneers, who trekked uncharted lands in the midwas given dle eighteen-hundred- s, by Ralph Budd of Chicago, president of the Burlington Railroad lines as he arrived in Salt Lake City to address the national convention of the American Society of Civil Engineers the fore part of the week. Mr. Budd, one of the first citizens of the state of Illinois to advocate a state park at Nauvoo, said satisfactory progress was being made with the state's present plans to have the park construction well under way by the summer of 1939, at which time the centenary of the founding of Nauvoo will be observed. Governor Henry Horner of Illinois is one of the park's most enthusiastic supporters, the railroad official said. Robert Kingery, chairman of the Illinois State Planning Board, is also enthusiastic about the plans for restoring Nauvoo as it W9S when the Latter-Da- y Saints liveJ there. The Dawes brothers, Charles and Rufus, former of the United States and president of the 1932 World's fair respectively, have lent their support to the state park plan, originally envisioned seven years ago by Lane K. Newberry young Illinss nt artist. "There has never been a time," Mr. Budd said, "when we have had more of a need to recognize and appreciate heroic deeds of the ois . past. "Think of It" said Mr. Budd. spenkiing of the long trip made hv the pioneers, "those people left their homes with absolutely no idea where their long trek would end, but with absolute faith in their destiny." Expressing hope that the descendants of the Pioneers, who made the trip from Nauvoo by foot and covered wagon, will retrace the old trail next, year upon Nauvoo's centenary. Mr. Budd said the Burlington line, which touches many of the points famous in pioneer days, will be willing to lend its facilities to hiMurical tours next summer. Box Elder l.

In North Dakota, according to Dr. Knowlton, farmers are using more than lO.WH) mechanical trail spreaders, and other west ern states are using large numbers. Many are made by using the rear end of a model T torn. ers in Kansas and other mid-westates are using friction spreaders. Some of these devices are capable of doing the work of 30 men in bait spreading. Such devices can still be con struct ed for use during the present season with eggs still hatching in many counties of the state. Dr. Knowlton said.

SOUTH SCHOOL PROPERTY OPEN FOR PUBLIC USE "Only a very few people realize that the old South School Property belongs to Nephi City, and is available for use by the citizens of this city" says Mayor Wilford Bailey. It is the desire of the city officials that the people of this community should enjoy this pleasant spot, and use it for recreational purposes. So far, Nephi City has not constructed playground equipment there, but as the public demands such apparatus, the city will no doubt equip this area as needed. It may be suggested that this fine shady spot be put to use by those living in the city. ii ' m Nominations Filed For Juab .:r 1 Soldiers of the division of the Loyalist army, who escaped into France when driven out of the Pyrenees passes they had held for months, are shown being inspected by Alvarez Del Vayo (saluting), Spanto Catalonia. 2 William McChesney Martin Jr., thirty-on- e ish foreign minister, following their years old, elected permanent president of the New York stock exchange with a yearly salary of $18,000. 3 Capt.
