THE HISTORIC Mormon Tabernacle, locale of the convocation for 101 years, has been groomed and polished to its Sunday best; a center mall with granflower Iroxes give ite stone-face- d rare beauty to the area between the classic Temple and the nacle; a stately monument to patriotism and freedom provides an atmosphere of strength and flagpole with security; a 100-foOld Glory atop crowns the beautification and utility projects of the summer in anticipation of the conference throngs. The Tabernacle entrances all around the huge oval building have new cement work to match the construction contours on the square. The basement has lieen excavated and enlarged to provide space for the vast Taliemacle Choir Library and television equipment. A new west gate to Temple Square has lieen installed. Capacity of the Tabernacle is 8,(XX) and the adjacent Assembly Hall, recently refurbished, seats 2,5(X) for patrons to watch the conference proceedings on closed television. For the April 1969 conference attendance will be increased by 20, (XX) with the completion of the $19.5 million Salt Palace Civic Center, across from Temple Square, which will be made available for conference telecasts. A HUB of attraction is the new Visitors Center which hosted some two million tourists this year. The center is virtually completed with only the addition of a few more displays forthcoming. The Visitors Center with its hundreds of murals, transparencies, diaramas and two little theaters has made it possible for the Church to convey more of its message to the world. Several Temple Square areas have been converted from display space into new lawns and flower beds to match the contour of the grounds, adding a bit more beauty and charm to the face of Temple Square. .y" 'ns, u'UU'iaii'ia THIRD SECTION The Tooele Transcript, Friday, Oct. 4, 1968 y ELDER SINGLETON Steve Singleton Returns from France Elder Steve Singleton, son of Mrs. Ruth Singleton of 56 North At the home of Mrs. Maxine Nelson, Alpha Eta committee members plan the Chapters annual Bridge Luncheon.

MisTHE FRANCO-Belgiasion comprises the northern part and the Alsace section of France, the French speaking part of Belgium and the tiny nation of Luxembourg. The people of the mission speak three languages, French, Flemish and Wallon. Elder Singleton reports, however, that most of the missionaries speak only French. It is difficult sometimes, he said, to make contact with people because of the religious traditions still held by some which makes it hard for them to accept new ideas. A few , . . seem to have a fear of looking into change. But, the mission has grown quite a bit in the last few years. As an indication of this, temple work has doubled in the last year alone. And a series of expositions by the church taken throughout the has greatly improved .mission the quality of the people being contacted. The 180 missionaries expect about 400 convert baptisms this year. Elder Singleton served as branch president in two French cities, Belfort and Metz. He was also district leader in Nancy, France, where he was responsible for the activities of 8 full time ministers. Other cities where he labored include, Amiens, Lille and Strassburg, France, and n What to Wear On An Autumn Trip Herb Beck, veteran travel editor and writer, makes this interesting comment: DRESS comfortably and travel light, but dont forget that autumn weather can change on short notice. And dont forget to take along an extra pair of well broken-i- n shoes. Be sure to wear your seat belts at all times in the car. As for your car, before starting out, see that your tires have plenty of good wear left, and the same goes for your brakes. Among the most important items of wear are the windshield wipers. No matter w'hether the wiper mechanism still works like a metronome, if the blades streak you cant trust them. Have or replaced. DONT WEAR signs or doodads or swinging knickknacks in the windows of your car. Keep your visibility as clear as the clear blue sky. Take along a raincoat or a top coat that you can wear when needed away from home. them-refille- JOURNALISTS The duty of the journalist is to conserve all that is good in the existing state of things, to revive, if possible, all that was good in the old order, to reform abuses where they exist in order that the good may survive, and to suggest and help in the introduction of what is new for the Texan: I dont want to brag promotion of the common weal. about the catfish I caught, but Ramanda Chatterjee, Journal- the picture I took of it weighs Modern Review, ism in India five pounds.
