The brother is Bishop William M. Hardy of the Rose Park Fifth Ward, Rose Park North Stake, Salt Lake City. FOR GRANGER STAKE Mevj Presidency Called Translation Comment , The following letter came from H. A. Reschke of Salt Lake City, commenting on a translation of German wording on the DUP plaque which was furnished us by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers: I enjoyed the Church News' account of the DUP commemorative plaque which was sent to Germany to be placed on a monument in Hamburg. The inscription, in German, makes mention of the first LDS German language publication, "Zions Panier. I could not help but notice that in the translation someone had taken Panier' to mean bread basket. I suppose the verb panieren, which means to coat something (usually meat) with egg and breadcrumbs, might have led to such1 a conclusion. "The truth of the matter is that when in 1851 George P. Dykes and John Taylor published 'Zions Panier in Germany they must have had a mental image of Zions Banner1 fluttering over Germany, for that is the correct translation of that title. Later Der Stern (The Star )was published. It is still in existence and as one of the newly coordinated and unified foreign language publications of the Church, it glitters more brightly than ever on the firmament of LDS periodical literature." During the last few months there has been a new branch organized in Queensland, Australia. It is in western Queensland in a town of about 2,000 people. The name of the town is St. George. Members of the Church in Australias St. George are cotton growers and some have Immigrated there from the states. Those of the St. George Branch are interested in the similarities between St. George, Queensland, and St. George, Utah. Both towns are small and both have mild climates. The members in Australia often comment on how Brigham Young sent pioneers to St. George, Utah, to grow cotton, and how a hundred or more years later, Mormons come to St. George, Queensland, to grow cotton. Say the Australians: "We have about 20 people attending branch meetings. and an American family is about to be baptized. We havent quite got a temple here but we are all working on getting enough members so some day we can have one." Vietnam Information Wanted Writes Tamaris Taylor from Vietnam: "We are currently attempting to compile the story of the Church in Vietnam for the Historical Record. Because of the circumstances here, considerable valuable information is recorded only in the memories of those who served in the past. "We are asking that you carry a request in the Church News for LDS servicemen who served in Vietnam to submit their accounts of their stay here. We are especially interested in any special blessings they feel might have come as a result of their tour in Vietnam. For example, if it was in this situation they received their testimonies, etc., or personal accounts, experiences and events would be appreciated. "The information should be sent to Lawrence L. II. G. 7th Air Force (DPCW). Box 5234, APO Epperson, t Sian Francisco 96307, before Sept. 30, 1967, if possible." This should make an interesting compilation for their historical record.
