Show •By The Editor • We had the privilege of visiting Camp Kearns last Saturday with members of the Utah State Press association. The group spent six hours at Kearns, during which time a complete inspection of the camp and a sample of army "chow" were enjoyed. The things that we saw at this huge cantonment would fill the paper this week, be will limit our observations to two main points. (1) We believe that our boys in the armed forces are getting the finest possible treatment, and many of them are eating and sleeping better than they ever did in their lives. No n1other should feel worried about what is going to happen to her darling son when he is in camp. <2> We now know that the money being spent for war bonds and stamps is doing a wonderful job. if the magnificent development and training of Camp Kearns is a typical example. Dear Mr. Barrows: I have started to receive my copy of The Sentinel which was so thoughtfully subscribed for for me as a Christmas present. I would like to express my deep appreciation to you for sending it to me here in England. It is very nice to be able to read about the happenings at home. I know there are some of my old schoolmates over here too, but at present I haven't been able to contact any of them. The English people are one of the finest people that I have ever known. For the people at home, I would like them to know that every one of us _boys over here really enjoyed this Christmas and will always remember it. I have never seen people who go out of their way to make you welcome like the English do. Tell the folks at home to keep up the good work for a little while longer and we will all be back home to enjoy a life of peace and happiness. .Sincerely yours, SGT. H. E. SWENSON, Somewhere in England. • While the present weather is delightful, much anxiety is being -expressed concerning the lack of moisture. We };lave had practically no snow to date this winter, and the balmy weather of this week presages no possibility of a snowfall. Water will be needed as never before this spring and summer, if the farmers are to carry out their record wartime planting program. Most everyone is willing to have plenty of snowstorms, even if unpleasant, if it will provide the needed water for next summer's crops. There is an abundance of news this week, and for this reason, Ye Ed. must shorten his column to provide space. Watch next week for a longer column of Reemarks, and also some new features, inducting a splendid serial story. SPEAKER SLATED FOR FIRST WARD MEETING J.

Friday, January 15, 1943 W:i lliam D. Kuhre To Be Honored on 80th Anniversa ry An open house reception honoring Patriarch William D. Kuhre on his 80th birthday anniversray will be held Sunday, January 24, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at his home at 112 West First North street in Sandy, when friends and relatives are invited to call. He requests no gifts, but he will be very much delighted to have friends call. Patriarch Kuhre, one of the outstanding men of this community, was born Jan. 21, 1863, at Ephraim, four months after his parents, ccnverts to the L.D.S. church, arrived in Utah. In 1865, during the Blackhawk war, his parents, Martin P. and Hansine Jensen Kuhre, were killed by the Indians. Having no relatives in America, the county court appointed John Dobbie, of Manti, as guardian of the orphan child, who was then two years old. In 1870 the Dobbie family moved t0 Salt Lake City, where the boy attended the 13th ward school under W. H. Rager, and the 12th ward scl:)pol under C. H. -Riggs. Following the death of his guardian in 1879, the boy went to work at the Temple quarry in Little Cottonwood canyon, where he remained until 1881, when he came to Sandy and was employed at the Pioneer Ore Sampling Mill until January 1, 1901, when he formed a partnership with the late James Jensen in the coal and building material business. This firm still continues in business under the name Jensen & Kuhre Co. Patriarch Kuhre has always been active in the work of the church since early childhood. He served in the bishopric of Sandy ward for fourteen year, after which he served for five years as president of the old Jordan stake. He was ordained a patriarch in the church in 1919. Patriarch Kuhre is also active in civic affairs. He was a member of the old 41st District school board and, following the consolidation, has served two periods as member of the Jordan · district board of · · education. He also served a term as may of Sandy City. Mr. Kuhre was married to Alice Drown of West Jordan in 1886. To this union there were born nine children, five of whom are living. They are: Kenneth D. of Oakland, California; Martin G. of Salt Lake City; Newell J. of Cottonwood; Mrs. W. W. Born of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Udell J. Kuhre of Pocatello, Idaho. There are also 11 grandchildren. His wife died in 1933 and in 1937 he married Mrs. Christine J. Wilson. Patriarch Kuhre was patriarch of the old Jordan stake, then the East Jordan stake, and now is patriarch of the newly organized Mt. Jordan stake. The life of Patriarch Kuhre has been one of service and has been made more bright and his joy more abundant because of the service he has rendered, and is still rendering, to all who know him. Those who know him best, love him most. He has talked and given comfort at more funeral services than can be counted and has given freely of his time, wise counsel and advice to all who seek it.

BIKE LICENSING GOES IN EFFECT IMMEOIATELY Effective today <Friday), with the publication of a city ordinance, which appears in this issue of The Sentinel, the licensing of bicycles in Midvale is now a requ.irement for owners and operators of this type of -vehicle. The same deadline as that of automobile registration will be followed here. The final date for securing license plates is March 1, but applications will be received from this date on. Registration and licensing of bikes is in charge of the city police department, but application blanks may be secured at the office of the city recorder. The annual license fee is 50 cents.
