Dunn, member of the First Council of Church of Jesus Seventy, Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, cf described the significance July 24, as celebrated of his Church, in these words. He spoke at a sunrise service held today in Gardens, Lindsey honoring early Mormon pioneers. More than 350 people, some clad in gowns and other paraphernalia of Pioneer Days, gathered at tne 6:30 a.m. service which included music by a Daughters of the Utah Pioneers chorus and a flag ceremony led by descendants of the Mormon Battalion. The early Pioneers are watching us, I suppose, Dunn said, wondering wheth- er the sacrifices they made DlXsJ He Passed Our Way f It cant be five year ago that the curtain of the Pioneer Memorial Theater was raised for a four day run of Pere le Temps, a play of war and peace. But thats what the claims. The particular play is remembered by patrons of the Pioneer Theater because it was the 13lh written by Keith Gibson. At that time, Keith was the ticket manager up there on the hill. He took a lot of ribbing about the number 13, but claimed he wasnt superstitious. And w hile Keith's knack with the written word was known, he longed to be known for his talents with palette and brush. Theater patrons also remember Keith as a man who would go that extra step to insure satisfaction to ticket buyers a young man with a permanent smile. To friends he was more than a playwright. He was a man you could go to in time of trouble a shoulder to lean upon. cal-end- ar ... ... A SET DESIGNER TOO Keith was also noted for his set designing at the Playbox summer season. His talent for art did show through. He put in many free hours decorating halls or gardens, wherever the Theater Guild was holding some function. And here to, his artistic ability showed through. It was his work with brush and oils that seemed to get little recognition. People of the Guild appreciated Keith enough to establish a playwright scholarship at the school each year. They didnt know that Keith helped more than one student to stay in school when tuition was out of reach. He never asked for the money back if the student worked hard enough to be worthy. Keith was frail, but friends didn't really know the suffering because he worked so hard . . . and smiled. Keith had been an honor student at the University of Arizona. He did graduate study at Phillips University in Wichita. And completed his studies up on our hill. HE GOT HIS MASTERS Keith went on to bigger things . , . first In Arizona. But true to a promise he would return to our hill and his friends on the campus each year. I mentioned that Keith was frail. It took him 14 years to get his master's. Sometimes his illness got him down. But not for long. He would be back writing or working in the ticket office, or decorating something. And when he had the time and the strength, he painted. From Arizona, Keith went to the Los Angeles area to become the box office manager at the Chandler Pavilion. Things were going his way. He had several more plays produced. He won national prizes with two of them. But most of all, his art work was being recognized. n show at the Just this month. Keith had a MacKenzie Gallery down there.

The National Wildlife Fed- erations conservation direc- tor, Louis S, Clapper, supported a bill to give the Interior Department authority to accommodate growing recreational use of 160 million acres in 11 Wesem states and 300 million acres in Alaska. These lands, administered by the Bureau of Land Management, need development and protection on a par with those in national parks, monuments, forests and wildlife refuges, Clapper testified. There is no reason why these lands considered as Uncle should Sams stepchild not be managed for public recreation, he said. In many cases, BLM has decent difficulty providing sanitary facilities at outstanding recreational locations, he said. Recreational programs are receiving an increasing amount of pressure as a result of the larger numbers of people enjoying greater mounts of leisure time," he aded. "Public health nd safety are endangered by the absence of suitable sanitation facilities, lack of safe water supplies and the absence of fireplaces and other suitable facilities as well as the means to correct problems relating to littering, neglect and overuse, he said. Assistant Secretary of Interior Harrison Loesch said use of BLM lands has reached crisis proportions so far as integrity of natural resources and protection of other users are concerned. In many areas, he said, the intensity of use is so great and the departments ability to cope with such use so limited that significant are being public values degraded or destroyed. BLM lands include deserts and semi-arifoothills as well as forest and rangelands with great fishing, hunting and recreation potentials, he said. Over 65 million acres lie within 120 miles of the 16 major metropolitan center of the West, Loesch said. These lands are ideally situated to relieve a large portion of the Western states' recreation needs. The subcommittee was told See ABUSED on Page 0 may require." A hearing has been scheduled for July 30 at 10 a.m. on a petition asking the Jones ruling be set aside and the case returned to city court. The 81 demonstrators were arrested May 7 at the U. of U. Park Building where the schools main administrative offices are located. Prior to the arrests, a larger crowd had occupied the building. They were ordered to leave and all departed except the 81 who sat down and had to be removed by police. Jones, in his dismissal, said the state did not offer evidence that the demonstrators were unruly or disruptive or that they blocked doorways or interfered with any activities in the building. ALL AGREED and county commissioners, Utah Atty. Gen. Vernon B. Romney and Chief Deputy County Atty. Leon A. City Halgren all agreed the decision should be appealed. Jones said his ruling did not challenge the constitutionality of the law under which the 81 defendants were arrested and was so written that it could be appealed. R. Paul VanDam, chief criminal deputy county attorney, said Jones based his ruling on evidence that the defendants would be found innocent in court and also interpreted the law under which they were charged.
