Quite a contrast to the night before was Saturday mornings experience of the royal party. Imagine their surprise at 6:30 tun. when they were literally blasted out of bed by loud bruts from various musical instruments and then the song, Oh, How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning. The culprits were a dozen members of the American Legion band from Orfden, who had marched in the Bountiful Fourth of July parade you will remember. But anyway it was time to get up for the trip to Cedar Breaks and breakfast at the Lodge, chimed Mary and Lou Ann, So we just couldnt be angry. Cedar Breaks is marvously beautiful in the early morning, according to the girls. Saturday afternoon in the big legion parade the BountifuT queen and her attendant adorned a 1949 Buick, light cream in color with blue trim which had been loaned them by a Cedar City firm. Banners by Merk Christensen identified the girls, who received mucn applause. Also in the parade were the Cedar City high school band, uniformed in red and white; that blasted band from Ogden, and one from the forty and eight post of Salt Lake. Gold Star mothers of the state rode in six convert-ables- ; auxiliary and legion members marched, and department officials were in cars. The forty and eight engine was also in the parade. Sunday morning the royal party motored to Zions inspirational in its splendor. Here officials were expecting the girls and gave them a special welcome, even to roping off the dining room for them.

Judge Nelson also was responsible for the revision of the S. U. P. state constitution. Fred E. H. Curtis of Salt Lake City was made president of the state organization, succeeding Judge Rich. A feature of the convention was the announcement that the famous Mormon Battalion" trek would be in January, 1950, following the original trail.

New-hous- long-covete- Backers of western reclamation development have expressed grave concern over possible fate of numerous state programs if Arizonas request for a huge irrigation project should be granted. They point out that this proposal gives Arizona the lions share of all available funds. To meet such a threat, a fight is being waged behind the scenes in Congress over Senate Bill 75 and House Resolution 934. These are the controversial bills calling for the largest reclamation appropriation ever made to a tingle state. The reclamation states involved in this vital matter are; Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
