. 'Keep Moral Atmosphere What's Your Efforts of officials and organizations to foster the development and growth of industry in the state of Utah were paid high compliments by President N. Eldon Tanner of the First Presidency as he addressed the Utah Technical College Symposium. Line? V By JACK E. JARRARD In bringing the greetings of the First Presidency, President Tanner commended those who have contrib- uted ts the building of the Utah Technical College which, he predicted, would be one of the finest in the Good idea bears fruit TJye experience of years, Inquiries from many in- dividuals, and a long study of materials available has resulted in a real boon for genealogists. The boon is in the form of brochures on records available in the various nations and being published by The Genealogical Society of the Church. The brochures, pamphlets, booklets, or whatever you want to call them, are being sent to genealogy libraries, societies and one to each stake president country. Such Church mottoes as The Glory of God is Intelligence,' A man cannot be saved in ignorance, "man can be saved only as he gains knowledge, and Utahs symbol as the Beehive State were referred to by President Tanner. He pointed to the desire of the Church to promote education, understanding, skills, talents and professional training. Evidencing the interest of the Church in the Utah Technical College, President Tanner said that plans are under way to establish a Church Institute of Religion near the college to provide students with an ' the spiritual opportunity to develop side of life. This follows the pioneer pattern of i. strengthening foundations so that future generations could build. "There are those who claim that the Church is opposed to industrial development. I certainly wish to disabuse your minds of any such ideas, President Tanner said. "It is true that the Prophet wanted religious and human values to be placed above all other considerations in community life, and they came here where they could have that, to get away from persecution and to enjoy worship according to the dictates of their conscience.

The research departmeat of the Society does the work on the papers used by the Society and thereby came the idea about a year ago. Why not have something available that can tell the average researcher what records are available in what country? Like Frank Smith, supervisor of research, says: "This booklet is a culmination of a lot of ideas. We feel it is going to do a real service to those trying to find their lineage. Why the booklet? 1.

He Such developments promoted by the College will help to build up youth and stabilize communities. We must not lose by default, Our greatest natural resource and asset is our youth. We must cultivate, train and care for them. As President McKay has often said, no other success will compensate for failure in the home, or for the loss of our youth.
