Show FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1937 Yesterday TIIE VOICE OF SHARON GENEALOGY And Today -- -- Written Specially For TUB .NEWS" By. J. M. JENhEN Do you know how North Park came to be called Sowiette Park? You do, well that's fine. I'm glad to hear It; but there are many people In Provo who do not know. Not long since a citizen of sufficient importance to be called "prominent sharply objected to the name Sowiette and wondered where such an outlandish name came from. Here is the story: Back In 1847 when the Mormon pioneers came to Great Salt Lake valley, two Indian chiefs, Walker n Sowiette, were encamped In Spanish Fork canyon. They had learned of the approach of the pioneers, and held a council to consider what should be done. The fiery Walker urged that the Indians should go to the valley on the north and kill the whites before they became too numerous; but Sowiette. who had learned of the expulsion of the Mormons from t! e States and felt sympathetic for them, op posed 'Walkers plan. The angry Walker charged Sowiette with cowardice, whereupon Sowiette lashed him with a rawhide whip. Of course there was naa blood between the two Indians. Three years later, there was another clash between the two chiefs. Walker, Just returned from a California raid with a thousand ponies, was eager to go north and attack thd Snakes, and solicited the aid of the young men in the Provo fort They refused, and Brigham Young, to whom Walker appealed, confirmed their action and advised Walker to live in peace with his Indian brothers and not shed blood. Infuriated, Walker came with four hundred warriors to ttack Provo fort. The settlers, IMPERIAL CLEANERS DYERS HKD Cleaning TOPICS COURAGE By C. V. HANSEN Courage always demands I he world admires the man who never flinches from unexpected ditfioulties, who calmly, paUeutly, and couiageously grapples with his fate, who dies if need be, at his post. It takes courage to do business squarely, honestly, and to carry on against difiiculties It takes courage to staud up for one's religious convktions, and to fight for that which is right, when confronted with that which is opposite. Courage will triumph. It will route failure in the end. It can be cultivated to a high degree. Coninieuce and courage are closely akin. When the two are allied a man has not only mastery over himself, but a key to the mastery of the world. Lite, after all, is a great strugit takes something of the gle quality of heroism to face it unflinchingly The timid man who keeps his light hidden under a bushel, Is almost foredoom, d to failure. Likewise the man who is easily baffled. There are many who face difficulties with a fine front till they meet with decisive rebuff, when they turn back crestfallen and defeated. Courage and persistence may not only retreve a lost fortune, they may be the means of winning one in the first place. The man who wavers, only half trusting in himself, is likely to fulfill his own gloomiest fears. Distrust begets weakness and ends In failure. Gathering genealogy, and doing research work, sometimes taxes the courage and patience to the utmost. . And it is only the individual who has determination and perseverance that will succeed in the end. The man that wrote 2000 letters In order to find an ancestor, and finally got results, tells the story. Suppose There IVbs No Advertising or more separate sessions being planned arount this theme Just suppose there was no advertising. Would that condition appeal to you? Suppose everything was sold in bulk without a name or or any mark to identify it? Would you like to go into that kind of a market to buy things you need? The man who invented s and brands and was as a advertising benefactor to mankind as the great man who invented names to distinguish animals and plants. Who would v ant to go back to the time when flour was just flour and there was no way to identify the different kinds so you could be sure of their quality before you baked your bread or cake ? The old nameless method was a gamble. It was like taking a chance on a grab bag. Nowadays we want every article of merchandise named, and all advertising, whether distinguished by price or not is an equal appeal to buy merchandise marked by merit and containing known qualities. That is why newspapers are necessary in the world of business. People want to know where to get the exact kind of goijds they want, and the paper which gives that service both to the advertisers and to the readers are serving an important economic function. ' Read the advertisements in this paper. They are put there by merchants and business men who know you are interested in the kind and quality of merchandise you buy. Tell them you saw their advertisement in The Utah Valley News. It will identify you and the merchandise. The merchants will be more ready than ever to cater to your needs, and to identify their products in your buying excursions in this community.
