Wendell H. McGarry, Doctor Chairman of the Board of Parks and Recreation, as Master of Ceremonies, clarified the efforts of many agencies and departments responsible for, the project. Speakers at the dedication ceremonies were: -- Harold J. Tippetts, former Dir. of Utah Division of Parks and Recreations and now Chm., of the Davis County Commission; Jerry A.

The conclusion of the dedication ceremony effectively and reverently came with the address and blessing of Elwood Koshaway, Indian Elder and religious leader. He spoke eloquently of the history of the Indian people over the centuries, of their relationship to God and to the elements of earth, wind and water. He related the religious significance of making peace with the spirits of those who had gone before and whose belongings are now being kept at the museum so we may realize their influence. In his own language he prayed for God's blessing on the Park, on the assembled dignitaries, on the audience and finally on the museum Itself, entering it to minister to and invoke blessings for the proper use of the facility. He later went to the Inidan Village across the highway to consecrate it for our use and that of our posterity. Beautiful, inspirational and extremely valuable are terms that express this new Freemont Indian State Park. Now it is up to us to draw from it the rich heritage available to us. We must encourage others to come and take advantage of all the wonderful things that Southern Utah has to offer. 0, tatian attendA Uplift Kathleen Jones was among 60 lifrom all across Utah who attended a week-lon- g Institute at the University of Utah this summer. brarians The State Library invited librarians from small and medium -- sized public library service centers tp participate in the Utah Public Library Intltute for Training (UPLIFT) from August 24th -- 28th, Kathleen Jones's attendance at the Institute will help to qualify Milford Public Library as aCertlfled Public Library Service, thus making it eligible for state money In the form of a library development grant.
