CONVENTION SIXTY-FOURT- H To bring 400 representatives of nearly as many comforty states together for a munities from approximately national convention is one achievement worthy of mention. To entertain them for four days and then send them their way to other parts of our state rejoicing and Utah for what it haa to offer praising the great state of In the way of scenery and real western hospitality, is another fete that must draw the commendation of all who had anything to do with the convention. It was my pleasure last week beginning on Saturday, June 4 and extending on through Tuesday, to join with one of the grandest groups of smalltown folk in the nation in the 64th annual convention of the National Editorial Association at Salt Lake City. From Main to Florida and from the plains of the and . fne Pacific coast cam weekly and great small town daily newspaper publishers to renew friend20 years ships that have been developing for as many as or more. They also left their favorite chairs and typewriters in their small towns to hear advice and council and to exchange ideas and thoughts that tend to make each individual newspaper more representative of the community it serves. This year's convention proved no exception from the standpoint of much given and much on mid-we- received. The words of the retiring president, Orrin R. Taylor Archbold, Ohio, at the concluding banquet of the convention, quote "It now becomes my great pleasure to turn the gavel over to my able successor as we approach the end of the most outstanding convention in the history to those of N.E.A., one which will, remain a challenge who be our hosts in years to come", is typical of the general attitude of our visitors who came to Utah for another convention. There was never a moment from 8 a.m. to almost midnight each day but what the delegates were being entertained, either at a dinner, a social hour, a concert or a trip to the many points of interest in and around Salt Lake City. The Utah committee left no stones unturned as they showed them our great empire. It was most consistent that the people who founded and pioneered our state should be featured in arranging a program of entertainment and education. After spending Saturday making a trip about Salt Lake and in business sessions as well as a social hour and banquet, the editors took time out on Sunday morning to visit the world famous Mormon Tabernacle on Temple Square where they heard a concert presented by the Tabernacle Choir who had lust half an hour earlier sang their two thousandth-plu- s broadcast. Following the singing and an organ interlude President J. Reuben Clark, first councilor to President George Albert Smith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints, addressed the group on the history and doctrine of the great church whose early members were driven from their homes in the east to the tops of the Rocky Mountains. President Clark made a great impression on his audience as he stuck close to his assigned subject and most certainly made a lot of friends for his church by the in which he them what he and his people believed. His address was praised constantly during the convention at business meetings and by individual publishers. After their pleasant hour on Temple Square the leadership of the church escorted and directed a tour of Welfare Square when the Church's ever growing human welfare program was explained and showed the visitors. Needless to say this project of the Mormons amazed those ho had never heard of such a plan being carried on by a religious denomination strictly for the benefit of their less fortunate membership who are forced by circumstances to seek the aid of their brothers and sisters. They saw where food is prepared; where shoes and clothing are manufactured; ' where wheat and coal are stored for the use of those In need; and they heard presidents of stakes explain how que stake is given an assignment and now with voluntary labor from the loyal church members they are able to meet assignment after assignment, never receiving a cent in compensation except the grand feeling one receives when he had helped someone in need, or had done a job that made his and his family's future more from sight-seein- sin-cere- td secure. The final act of the LDS leaders toward making their a tay in Salt Lake more pleasant and profitable was dinner at noon on Sunday which was sponsored by the Deseret News, the church-owne- d daily evening newspaper. A souviner book "What About These Mormons", was presented every publisher registered at the convention. Sunday afternoon the group was piloted by bug to Bingham Canyon where they viewed the world's largest Pen copper mlne went to Sunset Beach there tney Jor a swim in Great Salt Lake and then on to Saltair r a brief visit to that popular resort. Monday afternoon tney saw the interior operations of Geneva Steel at their Want between American Fork and Provo, and Tuesday's kip to Brighton and on a ski lift completed their ride and educational trips. The rest of the time a8 spent in eating, listening to outstanding speeches, acelection of new officers, having fun, getting better quainted and just a little time taken out for a bit of sleep.

K. Downey Tuesday. According to Mayor Downev every Monday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon instruction will be given in lifesaving by Miss Jean 'Wood- head, assistant manager, and John D. Bradley, lifeguard.

On Tuesday and Thursday the pool will not be opened until 2 o'clock for regular swimming, and in all instruction classes the regular prices of admission will prevail. George Pizza, pool manager, re ported this week that a regulation Red Cross Swim Week will be sponsored later in the sumnter. Consider Recreation Problem Mayor Downey reported that a close study will be made of the summer recreation program and if it is found that the junior baseball program and the swimming pool do not provide the necessary activities for the youth of the community a special director will probably be hired about July 1st. Another project that received the approval of the city "dads" Monday was to permit Earl Acord and his son Keith, insurance brokers, to make a survey of the city's need for public liability insurance. In most instances the city is covered, but there are that is withphases of the set-uout the protection this type of insurance provides. They will report back in about two weeks, Mayor Downey reported. p g y ' 43 NUMBER Phone News Items to Journal- - NEWSPAPER HELPER.

Frank Tomsic and Stan Diamanti are working to. geber on the construction of the sign. According to Hector Chiara, vice president of the association, who presided in the absence of President K. D. Marquis, not only will the Green River ordinance sign be erected when completed, but it is possible a road sign will be erected south of Price and at the mouth of Spanish Fork canyon to let travelers know that such a city as Helper exists. This was prompted due to the gross neglect of the state highway markers completely ignoring Helper when signs were erected. Helper will have an Independence Day celebration again this year as the result of action of the Carbon Post No. 21 American Legion, is an announcement made Wednesday by Glen Balllnger,' newly elected commander of the post. If the tentative plans material- ize as launched by the legion there will be activity for three days, Saturday, Sunday and Mon Fourth dance on day. A pre-Jur- y i PLANS JULY FOURTH AFFAIR Consideratin was given extending an invitation to the manager of the Carbon-EmerCredit association in Price to be a epeaker at the July 11th meeting and dia. cuss "Credit" with the Helper Merchants. Considerable talk was heard at the Monday meeting about credit and those who violate the service rendered by merchants. It was pointed out that if local business men would bring the names of those who have established themselves as poor credit risks to the meetings occasionally and expose them to other merchants it might save others a loss on accounts by people who won't pay their bills. A membership committee composed of Adolph Bruno, John Skerl and George Grlvet was appointed by Mr. Chiara to study the membership problem and be prepared to make a report at a later meeting. y Helper Awarded Utah Semi-Pr- o Baseball Tourney July 3 to 10 Helper will be the scene of the baseball tournaUtah Semi-prment which is promoted each year by the National Semi-Pr- o Congress in most states where baseball rounds the recreational in its pastime cities and towns. set are Dates July 8, 9 and 10.
