BENNION FITTINGLY CELEBRATED HERE The following is a copy of a letter addressed to Dr. Adam S. Bennion, in response to his radio address of Saturday, June 11th, which address was given over Radio Station KSL and sponsored by the Bennett Glass and Paint company of Salt Lake City: Salt Lake City, Utah, June, 12, 1932, Dr. Adam S. Bennion, care Utah Power & Light Co., Salt Lake City, Utah. rmer Governor Chas. R. Mabey Delivers Stirring Address Tremonton and surrounding communities celebrated the 4th of July in typical style, commencing with the salute and Flag raising at sunrise, and a band concert, which was enjoyed by many people. The program held in the forenoon was one of the best programs of its kind held in this community. Former Governor Charles R. Mabey delivered the oration of the day and was by the huge congregation as not only a spirited patriotic address but one that embodied the saving principles of this or any other country. He discussed the Constitution of the United States and the men and policies that have preserved it through the streams of the time and tho as saulted it has always stood firm. He recited the depression and panics of the past and told how the people had worked themselves from under the darkest clouds and came to attain new heights of prosperity. In a stirring appeal he called upon the people to be true and faithful to Constitution and the laws of the to uphold and sustain the men who are placed in office throughout the land. If this is done, he said, that good government would not perish from the earth. The singing of Mrs. Connie Peters Her beauti"was immensely enjoyed. ful trained voice filled every corner o the large auditorium and seems ad- mirably adapted for the singing of the patriotic songls. Other" music, also greatly enjoyed, was the Boys Chorus of Tremonton and a cornet duet by G. G. Sweeten and Wesley Gephart. Each number responded to encores. The horse racing, ball game and auction that occupied the afternoon was attended by a good sized crowd. The ball game was won by the Rough Riders, by a score of 7 to 1. Rex Hun saker, keeping his hits well scattered, had the Honeyville boys well in hand at all times. The auction, while not attended by a large crowd, was sufficient in size to buy many articles contributed by the farmers and business men from both ends of the county. The day closed with a grand ball in the evahing. ed f' Receive Jjca Students Xiplomas from B. Y. U. .

K Marriage Announced Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Adams of East Garland, announce the marriage of their daughter, Alice, to Miles Goss of Tremonton. The marriage took place in Ogden, July l3t, the ceremony being performed by Bishop Ira j Last evening the writer had the privilege of listening to your splendid radio address where in you set out certain suggestions for people to follow to relieve themselves from discouragement in this period of depression. Your remarks, of course, were directed to that class of people still enjoying an income and who are in a financial position to carry into action these ideas. For this class of people your remarks were timely and helpful and should do much good. For that class of people actually suffering from the present financial situatoin. having passed through months of privation and hardship without income, with heavy family responsibility, such suggestions are like a mirage to one choked with thirst. The writer has known you, Mr. Bennion, or known of you and your work, since you were a student at the University, Your teaching days, your administration at the Granite High School, your work as head of the Department of Education of the L. D. S. Church, and for the past several years of your work with the Utah Power & Light company. Many times during the past years I have sat at banquet tables at which you were an honored speaker, and I have always carried a profound respect for your ability and leadership. Your talk last evening was discouraging, in that it was directed to those not yet touched by this plague of depression, people in fact many of whom still have their income and have a greatly increased buying power with their money. But for the sufferer, I could hear not a word of comfort or cheer. Need of Leadership You possibly carry as much esteem and respect of your fellows as any one in our community, and yet it is evident from your expressions that you understand not the language of the suffering masses. The sufferers now include not only the unfortunate of times past, but countless new ones who in the past have been able to work and enjoy the decent and wholesome things of life; that class making up the stable and dependable strata of our society ,and who now find themselves prostrate and helpless regardless of their own ability and worthiness. We need leaders as we have never needed them before, but our capable men are still secure and as long as they are secure they will not be touched by this thing and cannot hear the cry of suffering people. I know this now by my own experience, and these thoughts have been crystal-ize- d as well by contact with hundreds of distracted heads of families reduced to similar level. Until you have tasted adversity your language will lack an understanding heart. It would be a great opportunity to hear you address your great radio audience after you had been without a salary for over a year, after you had lost all your worldly possessions, when you were living in a rented house with the landlord threatening to throw you out in the street. When your gas, lights, telephone, and water had been shut off. When you had lived for weeks and months on bread and potatoes and daily watched your babies for malnutrition. When you watched your children, young men and women, accustomed to the decent things in life ashamed because of lack of clothing and food. Dr. Bennion, when you have gone through this, then let us hear your voice and there will be burned into your heart such words as you have never uttered before in your life. IP Kipling Had Written It Like This! "It HI tiiii f you can see what some folk call 'depression' As nothing but a spin of Fortune's wheel; If you can keep your poise and No matter what you think or how you feel ; If you can view a stupid situation All cluttered up with 'ifs' and 'aws and 'buts' And take it at its proper valuation ; A challenge to your common sense and 'guts' ; If you can rise above the mess and muddle, If you can glimpse a rainbow through the clouds When Doubt and Dread and Fear are in a huddle And hope is being measured for a shroud ; If you can keep a saving sense of humor For stories that are slightly inexact ; If you can disregard Report and Rumor, And not accept a statement as a fact ; If you can spread the gospel of successes, , If you can stir the spirit that instills The latent life in lathes and looms and presses And lift the stream above a thousand mills ; If, briefly you can spend an extra dollar; If you can pry the sacred Roll apart And buy another shirt or shoe or collar And act as if it didn't break your heart ; If you have faith in those with whom you labor, And trust in those with whom you make a trade; If you believe in friend and next door neighbor And heed examples pioneers have made ; If you expect the sun to rise tomorrow; If you are sure that somewhere skies are blue Wake up and pack away the futile sorrow For better days are largely up to YOU!"
