Mayor Easton answered that he was sure we would be interested and they arranged for Mr. Goellner to come to Beaver and outline his requirements to the members of the City Council and get a reaction from them. At that time, we had been trying for years to attract an industry to this area and this seemed almost too good to be true, Mr. Goellner met with the council and explained his needs to them and looked at the old Legion Hall. They were able to come to a tentative agreement and work was started on the remodeling of the old Hall as .soon as a more formal agreement could be drawn up and signed. This has led to a remodeling of the Hall, many hours of training, almost countless hours of hard work, and finally, jobs for close to forty people in the production of clothing in the plant Now, it is up to the women of this area whether we are able to keep this plant in the area or not. In order to have an economic operation, it is necessary that they have at least 75 operators for the plant. They will also need about ten more employeej in finishing and cutting operations or a total of 85 people. The question is, CAN WE SUPPLY THESE PEOPLE? So far, it is a little dissapoint-ing- .

The riders were Mary Fae Woodhouse as Sacajawea and David Bradshaw and another fine young man as Lewis and Clark. Rosvall and Goellner featured a float with little girls wearing dresses made in the Beaver factory. The girls were daughters of employees. As the final grand entry, the 'Frog Holler Gutter Gang' entered the "Beaverly Hill Billies".

We ' also done considerable trading In the area, and have met with some success, though most of the people are quite satisfied with the religion they have.

The women of this area are missing an exceptional opportunity in not signing up for and attending these classes. Under normal circumstances, it takes at least 80 hours of training and, in fact, the state program calls for 120 hours. These women shown in the picture above were put on production, on the payroll, when the'y had from 40 to 72 hours of training. The factory is in need of production to the point that they are taking the women from the training program and putting them on production as soon as they are able to produce at all. This means that women who enter the training program now can expect to be on the payroll as soon as they are able to earn close to what they must be paid. After this plant has been in production for a year or so and has a number of people In the area who have learned to sew under production schedules, it won't be so necessary that we work to fill their requirements. They will be able to fill their needs with girls who graduate from high school and others who return after finding that life in the big city is a somewhat thorny proposition. For now though, we must supply the needs of this plant or stand to lose It. If you need extra money and would like to try to earn it, come to the factory and sign up for the classes. Let's show these people that Beaver people can and will produce and support industry. A full day of races is schedul-edfo- r Friday and Saturday. Plan to be there.

I have written many pages of pioneer history spolcen often of their remarkable faith and courage and marveled much at their strength and endurance. How keen was their foresight, these men and women of vision who planned and built for the future. How extreme was their desire to search and seek for the finer things of life. Log cabing and dirt floors could not conceal their love for beauty and culture. When they fought for an ideal, no mountain was too high, no river too swift, no desert to wild to conquer. Fear was not In their makeup. It It had to be ceased to exist that way for there was no turning back. Their dear lives were made up of lights and shadows but the over-a- l picture was pretty much the same for all of them. Not only for those who crossed the plains with ox earns or handcarts but for their children who were born in the newly settled towns of a new frontier. They too were pioneers in every sense of the word. I am going to tell you about another event that took place in the year 1898. It concerns a brave little band of those frontier children who at that time were grown men and women, most of them married and with two or three children of their own. What they accomplished In three months of bitter cold weather has gone down In history along with other heroic deeds of early days. Many of us consider it one of the greatest for so small a town. Surely there could be no finer example involving aU the above attributes. It is the story behind the story of Cedar City's "Old Main" at the beloved College of Southern Utah. Its history has been given many times by writers, orators and historians. Yet the hundreds of young people who have passed under her portals could never fully realize how much was sacrinor could they ever ficed imagine to what extent the strength and endurance of Its founders were put to the test Here again we come face to face with those two benevolent wortt "Unity and Loyalty". In them lies the answere. I am deeply indepted to a very wonderful and talented woman who lives in Cedar City. She is Rhoda M. Wood. I am ' very proud to say she Is my freind. An accomplished writer, she has given much of her time and talents for the benefit of others. Cedar City has been enriched by the life of Rhoda M. Wood. As Utah's Centennial drew near she realized that much of Cedar's history was not to be written. She also knew there were only about 25 merv living who belonged to the original crew who were known at the "Founders". With paper and pencil in hand she went to work determined that no more time must be lost. With her husband as her companion she visited each and every home of these aged pioneers. Hours, days and weeks were spent in writing their stories Just as they told them to her. After her work was completed she had it typed and mimiographed. Each of the Pioneers received a copy. How proud and happy I am that my parents names were on the list. On the front page lg the Foreword. Here she says, "These things are being given now, not to discredit nor belittle the versions of those who have already spoken or written, but to revive Interest and belatedly acknowledge a debt of gratitude and g appreciation that has been delayed. Just before my mother died she gave her book to me. "THE FOUNDERS SPEAK" by Rhoda Matheson Wood, Is one of my priceless possessions. In this column I will be writing my own version of a grand old story much of which was told to me by my own father and friends of yesterday. Continued next week. |
