Dutka la 25c. Days. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. Bashua Dorcas Kingsbury Fryer, 83 years of age, is a champion step dancer. Mrs. Fryer, a pioneer of 1847, who now lives at 649 Wilmington Avenue, recently took part in a play given by the Relief Society at Wells ward, and as S result of Mrs. Fryers danc- ing, the act in which she appeared was awarded first prize. Not only are Mrs. Fryers feet extremely agile, but her fingers are nimble as well, and she spends much of her time! crocheting elaborate articles with very fine thread. This alert and active little old lady was born in the old Pioneer Fort on November 19, 1847, the first child of her parepts, Dorcas Moore Kingsbury and Joseph Corrdon Kingsbury. Her ' parents left Winter Quarters in Nebraska on June 12th, in company with the families of Thomas Moore and Stillman Pond, and walked much of the way across the western plains. . They arrived in Utah on September 2fth, in the year 1847. The Kingsburys first went to Ogden, and settled on the north bank of ' the Ogden River, but heavy spring rains widened the waters to Buch a great extent that the farm lands were ' flooded, so the family again moved north, settling on the Weber River, not far from the mouth of Weber Sold only The Eddy Drug Co. Start , Canyon. I only remember small, isolated incidents in my early childhood, Mrs. ' - Fryer declared, as she began hen story. I recall the day my second sister, Mrs. Fryer Mersey was born. My aunt, Lenzoa Fryer came to get me and tell me about it, and I was very excited. And one time when I was at Grandfather Thomas Moores eating a peach, the stone caught in my throat, and I remember being jerked up off my feet and shaken and thumped on the back until it came out I faintly reeall one other early incident, perhaps because it was a painful one. I was drying my hands over the fire when f. playful dog came up and pushed me over on the stove. I burned my arms pretty badly indeed. But I can tell you an interesting early story about my brother. Dr, Joseph T. Kingsbury, president emeri- tus of the University of Utah. He was about two and a half at the time and we were living up on . ; - at Rcxall Stores the Weber. An astrologer bad once warned my mother that something was going to happen to my brother when he was two years old. ' As he was the only boy in the family, we thought a great deal of him, and mother tried to watch him carefully. She stepped into a neighbors one day, and left him playing in the yard, when she looked for him again, he had completely disappeared. There was a little furrow made for a ditch that ran up to the mouth of the but no water had yet been turned into it. He had slipped down into the furrow, an in an exploratory framei of mind, had proceeded to follow it It was almost dark when they found him, and he was sitting under a big clump of sagebrush, half asleep, half crying, his little arms folded across bis chest, moving back and forth, and wailing, Oh, Maw, Oh, Maw. I can remember a great deal about the way we lived In those days. We cooked in Dutch ovens, and ground our own coffee. Sometimes, when the toll prices at the mill were too high, we ground out wheat in the coffee mill, too. There was one time when flour was $6.00 a hundred pounds, and once it was so scarce that when the emigrants coming through, wanted to buy it, we were forced to ask them $13.00 a hundred pounds. Often the settlement was very short of provisions. One day, when we were almost desperate, and didnt know where our next food was coming from, a Captain Hooper, who drove cattle thru-othe west, brought ub $20.00 which my Grandfather Moo Ye had sent us from California. It was more than welcome, I can tell you. One of my most frequent duties was to braid straw for hats. We would first glean the 'wheat and put the kernels in a sack, and then soak the wheat straw In water, and spread it out to dry. Oh, I only wish I had Boiqe straw now, the old lady interand I could posed enthusiastically, . can-yo- u, ut isasi With We certainly show you how to do it. sewed mother and braided the straws, them together into hats. And our clothes were of the simplest kind. Mother used color bed ticking with Kinnekinik bark, and made us dresses of it And jye .wore those dresses for everyday and best as well, she noted vehemently. Girls today would certainly fuss if they had to do that. Mother got buckskin from the Indians to make us mocassins, and shed cut a piece from the tops of old shoes for the soles. The Mormons were always friendly with the Indians and they never harmed us. An old squaw came to our cabin while we were living on the Weber and mother dressed her baby girl in some of our old baby clothes. The squaw was delighted, and presently she fetched the childs, twin sister to be dressed, too. The Indians always liked my mother, and as she was not very well, they would bring her pills made from Indian root. When mother died, the old squaw came back and cried and cried, saying over and over again, White squaw good. White squaw good. The Indians used to come into town, dressed in all their paint and feathers, bare to the waist, you know, and I can remember well how they acted." At this juncture of her story, Mrs. Fryer illustrated it with actions, and rising, she folded her arms across her chest, and took several bouncing steps in excellent imitation of the Indians in a dance. Ive always liked to dance a great deaj. Mother frequently sang and we children would dance. We had many parties in the school house and I often danced in the same set with President Young or President Kimball at the Social Hall. Then wed call in a friend to play, and have dances right in our own kitchen. My school days were limited, though father started to teach us when we were quite young. He taught school on the Weber for awhile and when we moved to Salt Lake, I went to the school of a man named Doremus, who conducted classes first in an old house across the street from the south gate of the tabernacle, and later on First North street. The boys came with sleds and coasted down the hill tct school. One of my most intense recollections is the coming of Johnstons Army, I was 11 at the time, and we were living on the Weber. We left to go Bouth, and I remember that the grasshoppers were so thick that I hated to walk along the street in my bare feet, as I drove the cows. We never went back to Weber, but lived in Salt Lake where father worked in the tithing office. Mrs. Fryer was married in 1867 to Robert Colton Fryer, who died May 26, 1917. Four of her six children are still living. They are: Mrs. Bashua Ann Fryer Chapman, Mrs. Nellie Dorcas Fryer Stffensen, Frank Fryer and Rodney Hyrum Fryer. 40 0 9 Conoco Passport Holders are on Vacation Highwg I hese motorists have requested and received fret Passports from the Conoco Travel Bureau.

Men and teams are busy on grading and foundations are being laid for large cement supports of a bridge that will eliminate a sharp curve around the Cold springs pond. The contract for this project was awarded to Ora Bundy of Ogden by the state road commission. The project, when completed, will comprise abont a mile of new road and will eliminate three dangerous curves. The new road will leave the old highway at the point of the mountain, near the Weber-Bo- x Elder line and parallel the U. I. C. railroad tracks to the foot of the Cold Springs hill, then take off from the main highway again at the foot of the hill on the south of the Cold Springs, hnd over the spring pond, by bridging. Many accidents have occurred at the Cold Springs curve and this road will not only eliminate the curve, but will make more room for the automobiles to pass each other. !
