Show from Christy's Scrapbook PROMONTORY POINTERS By L. C. Christopherson In these days of confusion and uncertainty, there are many who think that if our economic problem could be solved, tlhen indeed would life be free from anxiety and' apprehension. Alas, those whe so think forget that there are countless problems that would continue unsolved. Human nature would remain with its medley of conflicting motives. There would remain the inner hurt produced by the open grave with its baffling mystery of life and death; there would remain the necessity for adjustment and understanding between husband and wife, between parents and children, between employer and employee, between friend and neighbor. And above all also would remain the eternal choice between values. The whole problem of what makes for healtihy and creative living is eternally with us. In a perfectly functioning economic order people could wound each other; they could be unkind, unjust, dishonest, and vulgar in taste, just as they are now. In our haste to build Utopia, therefore, we need to remind ourselves that the discipline of the individual is even more essential than the regimentation of economic forces. Man's supreme concern ihas ever been with the abiding springs of action in the human heart. W. Waldemar W. Argow By Rosalie Wells Fund Dinner A Success The building fund dinner for Branch chapel Jheld in Tremonton Friday evening proved successful from all standpoints. Financially it exceeded our expectations just a few dollars short of one thousand dollars were contributed through ticket sales and the generosity of friends. Comments we have heard are that nearly everyone attending the dinner enjoyed good food and a nice entertaining program. We do hope everyone had a good time. We regret that due to the large crowd some had to wait for a second table to be served. We are grateful to everyone who has helped us in this endeavor. It is humbling to. know that so many peofple are interested in our welfare. All the members of the branch wish to use this means of extending an invitation to all to come see the chapel they have helped us build. Appreciation Is Expressed Appreciation is expressed to the Second Ward Bishopric who loaned their building and facilities so that we could have an adequate place to hold the banquet, to the Third Ward for the use of their dishes arfd silverware, to the McKinley school for the use of their kitchen and the many ladies who so gladly gave of their time and talents to help us out. The task was made lighter by so many helping hands. Irene Anderson, Ethel Weese, La Veda Rock and Peggy Stine helped in the kitchen. Nell Nesson, Elva Spackman, Evelyn Watt and Valora Chour-no- s cooked at the school kitchen. Phyllis Christensen, Jennie and several young girls came to fortify our small force to serve the meal. We are especially appreciative of the beautiful Valentine decorations for the tables and hall created by LaVon Crystal and Violet Burgess. Their efforts were all donated to the success of the banquet. The program under the direction of master of ceremonies Joe Burgess included the talents of many people. George Farns-wortwho drove in from Little Valley with his wife, and Mr. and Mrs. John Cooley entertained with his guitar during the meal. Pauline Robinette, Janet N. Carter, and Kathy Oyler each contributed to the program with their solo numbers in song. Rex and Ruth Adams brought a round of applause with a dance number. The "Four Old Maids" from out west whose identity wasn't disclosed told in story and song some of the humorous happenings in the lives of the residents of Promontory more fiction than fact. The concluding numbers were songs and dances by some of the Promontory school children. Following the program two cooked turkeys were auctioned off with William Hurd acting as auctioneer. We also wish to thank the newspapers in Tremonton and Brigham for their publicity and the ward bishoprics for their efforts in promoting ticket sales. President Deloris Stokes con- tributed the turkeys for the meal and several ladies around Tre- monton helped cook them. George Abbott graciously carved the turkeys. All efforts will be concentrat- ed these next two weeks on getting as much of the building finished as possible. The interior of the chanel will be redecorated and the floor refinished. The basement needs finish carpentry the Promontory " Oy-le- r, h, work, tile floor laid, and painton the ing. It will depend weather how soon the outside work can be done. In February 1956 the vacated Penrose chapel was purchased and moved onto a basement foundation near the school. Water will be piped to the chapel from the school well. Because of local employment available last winter not much was done on the remodeling. However, the chapel has been in use since June 1956. When completed the basement will be the recreation hall which will be divided with steel folding doors to make classrooms. It also contains rest rooms, furnace room, and kitchen. A library and cloak closet has been added in the entrance hall upstairs. Small Membership There are only twelve families who are regular residents of the several farming community other families have moved in because of employment close by. This is the first LDS Chapel to be erected here. In times past whenever the population justified LDS meetings were held in the school buildings or in pri vate homes. About 1916 there were five schools along the 40 mile Promontory. More recently during the acute teacher shortage the children were transported to Corinne or Thatcher for school. When completed the chapel along with the newly remodeled school will make a nice community center for all activities.
