It is related that the trailer is pretty much ruined. En route to Conference Edward (Ted) A.

New Welfare Project Sunday morning, the 29th, the Third Ward Priesthood meeting voted unanimously to buy a welfare farm three miles north of town for $15,000. The farm is machinfarily well equipped withstock and ery, and will have live an orchard. A home will probably . be built for a resident manager, and considering how other farms, brought and operated by different priesthood quorums have prospered, this should be a successful undertaking. The L D S Church requires of each ward to have a welfare project, preferably a farm, or other productive enterprise on which its people can work.

Lynn Lyman led three other on to the southwest a'ong the high rim to see what is in sight from points two or three miles farther on, and on their return trip they undertook to follow the Old Morman Trail by the way of The Twist and down the Comb. But it was late in the day, and among the maze of roads in the wide stretch of cedars, they lost their way and had to return by way of the big dugway and Navajo Trail, reaching Blanding at ten in the evening. Among the visitors to the Point was Marge Lyman, still unable to walk, and riding now over the place on the dugway where she met with her accident and suffered a broken leg on Thanksgiving Day. Most of the picnickers returned bv way of the upper crossing of the Comb, getting on to oiled road again on the west side of Cottonwood, from which point with bridges and improved grades, it is smooth going to Blanding.

It is reported they have sold one home to Burdette off Shumway. Basketball Suspense One of our women who went with the big caravan to Provo for that basketball tournament, says she never wants to do such a thing again; the suspense of it tends to bring on heart disease. She says that to g watch in suspense while the teams race on and on, neck and neck, and then come out 49 to 50 in favor of the other team, is just simply too much to endure with physical safety for more than about once. Will Serve Indians The Blanding Third Ward is to organize a branch in the north end of town, the geographical center of which will be the Indian Chapel. To begin with it will be officered by people of the ward, and will aim to give, for the benefit of the Indians, the same kind of activity and religious service program as is carried on in the main ward. Our Indian missionaries hail this as quite a step forward.
