In districts 7 and 8, nine out of ten were informed on the proposed study. The women of Kearns seem to rate their community higher as a place to live than the men. Sixty-nin- e per cent of the women as against 51 per cent of the men label Kearns either satisfactory or very satisfactory. But almost half of the men (47 per cent) put their d in the community category. When asked about their plans to leave Kearns, 90 per cent of the respondents indicated no departure was contemplated within at least the next three years. Major exception was district 3, where almost one. family in five expressed some thought of moving within that time. Top problems in the minds of those interviewed were (in the order listed): parks and recreational facilities, law enforcement and a youth center on their list.

Get busy on that car, the robber told Mr. Madson, then leaned against the door to watch the occupants of the car. A few minutes later the car drove away. The bandit told young Madson to head west and start walking. Mr. Madson went to the corner, looked back and saw the bandit strolling in the opposite direction. He then ran across the street to the residence of Max Bangerter and called for help. The robber was described as 5 feet, 5 inches tall, of medium build, black hair, and in his 20s. He wore blue denim trousers and jacket. Investigation is. being conducted by Deputy Sheriffs Pete Hayward and Harry Calton of Salt Lake County. congregations throughout the West. After the dedication services, refreshments were served to some 250 persons in the education unit of the church. St. Pauls Lutheran Church started as a mission in June, 1956. In September of the same year, Pastor Nels E. Bergstrom accepted the call to be the first Board Missionary. Under his leadership, a Womens Guild and Luther League were organized. In 1957, Pastor Bergstrom left Kearns to accept a call to be pastor of a Lutheran Church in South Dakota. On December, 1957, Pastor Carl E. Samuelson arrived at the Kearns Mission.

When Mr. Sandstrom directed him to where it was, the man told the station attendant that he would need some change. When Mr. Sandstrom opene dthe drawer to get the change, the assailant told him, This is a stick up. Get into the back room. Mr. Sandstrom, who had only leased the station the week before obeyed as the suspect had showed what appeared to be a small automatic. Mr. Sandstrom was placed in a closet of the back room and asked to remain there. Before placing the station attendant in the back room, the assailant took all bills from the drawer and placed it in his pocket, leaving the small change and Upon investigation of the robbery, only one bill was found in the drawer, that which the suspect had requested change for. In checking over the amount still remaining in the drawer, Mr. Sandstrom stated that the bandit had taken between $14 to $15 from the station. Mr. Sandstrom had just previously leased the station a week ago, and is directly across the street from the market of Frank Pollard, held up recently.
