This year we are celebrating the 140th anniversary of the first missionary arriving in Denmark in May 1850. That year Peter O. Hansen came to Copenhagen. He was the third Dane to be baptized in this dispensation and he became well known because he translated the Book of Mormon into Danish, and this is remarkable as it was the first translation in any language other than English. Already in 1843 he knew about a new book and told his family that he was convinced that he was going to translate that book without even knowing what the book was about. Peter O. Hansen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1818 and died in Manti 1895. After his mission to Denmark he returned to Manti in 1854 and lived in Manti until his death. We have seen a picture ofhis tombstone in Manti, and we have asked Elder Rasmussen to obtain a picture from his family of the stone, which still can be seen in Manti. We now write you hoping that you, through your paper, would be able to help us, as we believe that some of Peter 0. Hansens relatives still live in Manti. This year is very memorable to the Saints in Denmark, and we will celebrate the arriving of the first Latter-daSaints in Denmark with concerts, exhibitions, articles, and special meety ings.

When my husband died, I was alone with him and I called 911 and I swear they were at our home in 3 or 4 minutes. Needless to say I was frantic and they took over the situation so kindly, carefully and very efficiently. Bless them all for helpingme the way they did. I hope everyone will support them and realize what a wonderful service they offer the helpless people.

If some of these people, who dont realise that someday they will be old folks too, would come and join in with us and donate money-donation- some of their precious time, they would see what a good time the old folks have.

Brigham Young set this day Dennis and Lynda Cox Get Discovery Channel back To the Editor: With all the poor shows and channels available on television, during the time we were able to get the Discovery Channel", we were delighted to have a quality channel that provided documentaries and educational programing that was very informative as well as entertaining. The travel shows covering the real people in other countries, the animal shows, the medical innovations and other information regarding what to ex pect in the future, were very interesting. When they discontinued broadcasting the Discovery Channel, we were very disappointed. This channel provided needful alternatives to boring and cartoons that are the normal programs for the sit-cor- children. The children delighted in the animals and were very interested in seeing how people live in other parts of the world. If the people in our area, that are cable subscribers, would write to the Cablevision people regarding their desire to have this new Channel in place of some of the others offered, I feel that we would soon have this Discovery Channel again for us. (Cable subscribers in Nephi, have this Discovery Channel as part of their program, at this time.) Cable subscribers in our area should write to Mr. Greg Palacios, District Manager, TCI Cablevision, P.O. Box 980, Price, Utah 84501, to request that the Discovery Channel be returned to us.

Mr. Cope records for a company by the name of Embrvo Records. Most of the songs he sang were written, both words and music, by himself. This youngman is already popular to those who enjoy the messages contained in his music.

Of course the $6.00 registration fee is simply an activity fee, covering all costs of a variety of activities throughout the quarter. The breakfast served from 7:30 to 10:00 a.m. the morning of March 14th was one of those special activities. Even though the Institute records show that 416 students have actually registered for spring quarter Institute, no doubt the various schedules and pressures of the final exams reduced the breakfast participants by 50. The local grocery store merchants beam with pleasure when these times of the school year come. The Institute instructors seem to handle the breakfast all in stride by now. The breakfast of French toast, sausage, and hash browns filled the shoppingcarts at the local markets with 26 loaves of bread, 45 pounds of sausage links, 26 dozen eggs, 8 gallons of milk, 30 12 oz. cans of frozen orange juice and one gallon of maple syrup. Seven pounds of margarine also used in the cooking and for buttering the French toast helped complete the shopping list.

This gives the students a choice of a variety in subjects and instructors appreciated by the variety of students found in the Snow College student population.

We just didnt see a pattern of abuse from the testimony that was given, and there was no one who was a possible eye witness to the actual trauma that caused the boys death. We felt the evidence was mostly circumstantial against them, and made our decision accordingly. We felt they just didn't fit the pattern of child abusers." Contacted for an interview, Mary Mackay said, "Things progressed in the trial just the way they should. When all the facts were presented to the jury, they made their decision." She did say, by Max felt the event was not properly investigated.

Student winners were announced at an awards assembly. This year students explored the theme, Science and Technology in History. The Utah Endowment for the Humanities sponsored a special lecturedis-cussio- n on the topic. The Utah History Fair is an educational program open to all students in grades four through 12. Students conduct their own research into areas of history which they find uniquely interesting. All areas of history are open to investigation. Students present their findings at regional fairs in one of four different categories: the paper, the project, the performance or the media presentation. Winners at the regional level go on to participate in the annual State History Fair to be held at BYU on Who do you like Who cares? I snorted. I do, she went on. But I dont like Clemson. After all they beat BYU. Whos BYU? I asked sarcastically. She glowered at me. To make a long story short, shes watched every single game and has had an emotional favorite each time. I think she waits to see who scores first, then sides with them. She cheers and groans alternately as her team wins or lotrs. About the only thing that detracts her attention is if theres a Jazz game. And all this from the spouse who chastised me on New Years Day for watching 11 hours of football. She wont commit herself as to who is going to win, but I know that when they do, shell claim they were her team all along. I have to sign off now - its time for Texas vs Purdue. Come on Purdue!

We came up with a plan wed walk down the road west of Manti for a mile, so wed have no choice but to walk back. At the one mile mark, I said to Beth, Do you think you can make it back all right, or are you too tired? Oh, no, she said. Im not tired. I can make it fine." Good," I said. Ill wait here.

Several years ago the Migrant Council stopped funding the health clinic in Sanpete County. Last summer JoAnn helped organize a free health clinic for the needy, largely organized and staffed by herself and other volunteers. They have arranged for facilities and supplies to come through donations by Sanpete Valley Hospital.
