The deceased was born at ' '01 With highly fitting ceremonies, the Tremonton Civic and Librarv Building was dedicated Wednesday night, Mayor James Walton conducting the GX6rciscs Secretary of State, Milton H. Welling and former Mayor Frank Francis, of Ogden, were the principal speakers. The speakers each paid glowing tribute to the citizenry of the community for their enterprize and especially to the members of the Economics Club, since its foundation, who were responsible in a large measure for the erection of the building. As early as 1914, in the month of June, this club was organized and its first project was to establish a reading room. Later definite steps were taken to raise money for the erection of a library. Each year asday was set apart for a celebration, at which an admission was charged, this money being set aside for the purpose in ' view. In April, 1929, a letter was addressed to the library board by Mrs. Fred Gephart, then president of the Economics Club, offering to the board $3000, the amount which had been saved for their project and it was decided to accept the. contribution and plan a building. The library board, during its years of existence, had also saved a neat sum of $1400. This was offered for the same purpose. The balance of the money, which was approximately $8000. was appropriated by the city council and the building was erected fulfilling a long cherished dream of the people of this community. Other speakers were former Mayor Holmgren, Mrs. D. W. Jenkins, secretary of the library board; Mrs. H. T. Woodward, member of the library board and Mayor James Walton. The Mayor paid high tribute to former Mayors, J. A. King and David Holmgren, for the cooperation they had shown as the civic head with the untiring efforts of the Economic Club. Special numbers were furnished by A. I. Morgan and Merwin Christensen, A. Harry Woodward and Mrs. JudithMrs. Strand. The accompanists were Donald Davis, Miss" Mary Burns and Helen Woodward. In closing his remarks, Mayor Frank Francis, expressed the hope that the community would make this library unique by having on its shelves books containing a complete Western History, more of them than could be found in any other library. Dr. Luke, acting upon his suggestion proffered to buy the first volume or volumes of such complete history of ' the west At the conclusion of Secretary Welling's remarks he told of a rare collection of that he possessed, having acouirf ',hem while in Washington. He said that he would like the books to be adorned by being in this beautiful building and he would therefore make a gift of a hundred or more of these books and invited the librarian to come to his home and select such volumes as she thought would be suitable. Because of the nature of the books the library board considered this as a precious gift. Manyothers contributed books arid money, a complete list of which will be published in the Leader in a later issue when the records have been com- r's, piled. The benediction was pronounced by Dr. Luke. The dedicatory praver, which was beautiful and impressive was offered by Reverand A. R. Dickson and is printed below. "OUR FATHER WHO ART IN ; -- Tremonton Banking To Sponsor Contest i HEAVEN, who dost hold in thy wise care all the affairs of mankind, and who in thy great and eternal wisdom has seen fit for us to be here tonight, we thank thee for the vision and faith and generous spirit of all those having part in the erection of this building: "We thank Thee for the members of the organization through whose efforts this building was started. Sometimes we hesitate through lack of faith to take the initial step toward such an enterprise as this, but when united effort is directed toward an untimate goal, regardless of difficulty the end is achieved. V Bless therefore, the members of the ECONOMIC CLUB through whose sacrifices this building has been made possible. May they look with pride in the years to come to this building, A MONUMENT for their efforts. "We thank Thee for the Mayor of our city; for the members of the Town Council who have undertaken to further finance the building. "Some have retired from the board since, the building was started, others have taken their places. i "Bffth retiring members and those taking their places have contributed largely by their influence to make the undertakinng a success. "As they see the needed improve ments in the city may they never regret the part they have taken in this much needed addition to civic im provements. "We thank Thee for the members of the Library Board who shared in the responsibility of its beginning. With them as well as others this responsibility has not ended with the construction of this building but in a sense it is only beginning. But with such vision we believe them to be equal to the task that is before .them. "We thank thee for every individual contributor who in any way has helped to make the building possible. "We thank Thee for this service this evening . For those taking part in the program. Especially for those whose interests extend to our community even though their homes are elsewhere.

May its shelves and tables ever contain the highest type of literature. May our boys and Girls profit by the heritage left to them, and may they be inspired to higher idealism as they turn the pages of book and magizine. "Bless we pray Thee, every member of this community. Bless especially the parents of our boys and girls. "May nothing ever cloud their vision nor hinder them from giving of ther best for the building of character in the lives of their children. "Mav we. one and all, strive with one accord and unity of purpose for the highest ideals that can be found and realized. "And when we think of higher ideals we remember our Saviors.

Larson, Jr., an engineer for the Curtiss Airplane and Motor Co., of New York, has recently been promoted to project engineer for the company at Garden City, Long Island. This came as a surprise, as he now has men working under him who have been with the company about four years. Upon graduating from the University of Utah in May, 1928, young Larson, was offered a position with the Curtiss Co., which he accepted, leaving for New York in July. He has been with the company nineteen months and now has special charge of the planes known as Pan American Kingbirds. They have recently completed the third model of this type and sent it to St. Louis where the planes are con structed. They are equipped with two three hundred horse power motors and are capable of making one hundred fifty miles an hour. They are to carry mail and passengers over the Andes Mts., in South America, and sell for " to bring them a handsome cash prize. Promotion Comes To J. L. Harvey At Sugar Co. J. L. Harvey, genial cashier of the o .Sugar Company, at Garland,, has been notified of a promotion Utah-Idah- and added duties.? In order to centralize responsibility and add efficiency of operation together with a cut in over head expenditures, Mr. Harvey, in addition to retaining the position as cashier, will be manager of the water canals. These are known as the Bear River and Hammond Canals and are carried as two separate systems on the books of the company. According to Mr. Harvey, the office Como work of the ' Sugar pany branches will be centralized in one office at Salt Lake. This move is. also for greater efficiency and to decrease the over head. The Garland Factory will be less effected, perhaps, in some of the office work than others, as this office, for the time being at least, will continue as in the past, there being no radical changes there. Mr. Harvey, for the past several years has rendered a high brand of service at the local factory. The many friends he has made during this time will be pleased to learn of this added recognition that has come to him. With the recent changes in methods of the company, as referred to above, coupled with the complete change of methods in the agriculture department, particularly with reference to the help being extended to beet raisers by actual demonstration, it is evdent that the company is making every effort to make the beet industry and to manufacturer profitable grower alike.
