Show THE SENTINEL, MIDVALE, UTAH Page Three FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1946 ham Young's eagerness to get a rail line into Salt Lake brought south Utah and Los Angeles rail connections to Salt Lake many years earlier than otherwise tPight have been accomplished. Utah Wins Award In Washington, "Gov. Herbert B. Maw has been presented with an award-he acC'epted it in pehalf ol the state of Utah from the National Safety Council because U1ah 3!" the best sa1ety record for pedestriansc and general traffic of any western state. Spotlighting UTAH Highlight In Utah History The tenth o.f May is a reminder that 77 years ago the first transcontinental railroad line was brought to completion at Promontory station, Utah, a point some 40 miles d1rectly we~t of .dngham City, and not at Promontory Point~ as many historians mistakenly declare. Practically all Utahns are famHiar with the story--of the great celebration at Promontory, how whistles were blown, bells rung and cannon salutes fired in such cities as New York and San Francisco. Very little however ts :recoraea f the bjtter disappointment of Brigham Young over the fact that despite the twenty years promotion he had given toward bringing a rail ime westward, that the ..builders should ignore his pleas and bypass Salt Lake City by running the line down Weber Canyon and then around the north end of Great Salt Lake, leaving Salt Lake "high and dry" as he called the situation. The story of !;low Brigham Young recruited a large numbe:.~ ol Mormon workers, of his building a branch line from Ogden to Salt Lake, of his securing Rolling stock from the Union Pacific Railroad in lieu of money owed the Mormons by that corporation, o! his completing the line into Salt Lake City, February 10, 1870, of his driving of his own specially engraved spike made from Utah iron at a statewide celebration at Salt Lake City, is an interesting bit of Utah history. Also vital is the fact that soon the line into Salt Lake City was extended into growing cities and mining districts of south Utah. Eventually, many years later, the line even reached Los Angeles. Thus, Brig- ln BLt: .... pttng me a\\i.il'd, Gov. Maw said-"only with volunteer service can a succe.ssful traffic safety job be done on a national scale." Plenty of Power Available Those Utahns who live in isolated commuxpties, on farms or ranches wheni electrical power is not available, might be interested in knowmg that at the Ogden Service Forces Depot, the War Assets Corporation has dozens aud dozens of trailor-mounted motor-generator sets for sale at a fraction of the orginal manufacturing cost. The only catch isthat the buyer must take along ;:.. nuge tral!er mounted searchlight as part of the bargain. Some of the sets are new and sell for $1,000, the used equipment sells for $500. The units generate about 16 kilowatts of direct current and bave 85 h. p. six cylinder motors. Thli units are ready to operate complete with switchboards. By adding storage battery capacity, these units might dp very well for small communities where the call for electrical power is not to grea t.• Promoting More Industry The Carbon County Associated Industries have announced that they are out to expand the dairy busines;; in that area and insist that dairy money be kept at home for the dairy farmers. In addition, they want a brick manufacturing business, and a foundry and machine shop. Such industries are needed, it was pointed out, and would be job providers for a large number of "Get Work Permit," Urges Mickelsen Confucius, who lived 550-4 78 B. C., was a Chinese teacher. His name was Kung. He was of royal descent, but was raised in poverty. "All students under 18 years of age must have work permits for summer work other than that around home, says Mr P. M. Mickelson. district coordinator. ''These permits may be secured at the JOt·dan ~strict personnel offices until noon each week day, five days a week during the summer."
