Show This Week at the LDS Institute l' : V, . If1' x by Barry Baker Associate Director This Past Week There is still talk of the success of the annual Native American Cultural Night held at the Institute on Wednesday, April 19, 1989. Indeed all involved in any way know of what a delightful evening it truly was. On Thursday evening, April a large group of Snow 1989 20, Foundation College supporters celebrated the year and welcomed new members with a special dinner catered by the Marriott Cafeteria people in the LDS Institute Cultural Hall. Many of those attending of course were not current residents of our area; nevertheless, have many fond memories as former students andor faculty members of this fine institution. Forum Report Approximately 350 students came to the weekly Friday Forum April 21, 1989 to hear Dr. David R. Will more, a member of our Ephraim LDS Institute faculty speak to the popular subject; "The Miracle of Death. The students were very attentive and obviously interested in the many incidents Dr. Willmore reported as he quoted from records left of those who have described their experience of passing from this life into the one beyond, then back again. Dr. Willmore is the author of the recently published book entitled: Journey Ileyond Life. Faculty Attends CES Convention Immediately following the weekly Friday Forum in Ephraim, all members of the Institute, with their wives, travelled to St. George to arrive in time for the 6 p.m. commencement of the annual closing Church Education System Convention. All LDS seminary and institute teachers and spouses of the Utah South Area (headquartered in Cedar City) CES program were in attendance. A dinner, followed by an awards ceremony, was held in the cultural hall of the St George LDS Institute of Religion building. Following the awards a special session was held for the 150 teachers and spouses in the St. George Temple at 8:30 p.m. As part of the special session this CES group was privileged to listen to the St. George Temple president relate some interesting historical background of that Trivia ...

The Saturday a.m. portion of the CES Convention featured the special guest speakers, CES Commissioner and Mrs. Elliot J. Cameron, appointed to that position in 1986. Most residents of the Sanpete area will recall that the Camerons are no strangers to this part of Utah. Dr. Cameron served both as a Snow College President and South Sanpete Stake President from 1956 to 1958. The session with the Camerons was most informative and appreciated by both husbands and wives at the convention. Dr. Cameron held a special session with wives only, while Mrs. Cameron was relating experiences and giving timely counsel to their husbands. A CES update and World Report by Commissioner Cameron to all present concluded this special report. by Max To the Editor: would like to take a moment and express my appreciation to the staff of the Sanpete Valley Hospital in Mt.

Dr. Leland Thompson in Ephraim had a very nervous patient recently. In fact, she was so nervous, she clamped her mouth shut and refused to open it. But Leland solved that problem. He had his assistant sneak up under her and jab her in the rear end with a hat pin. When she opened her mouth to holler, Leland finished his work. -- The Extension Organizations foundation is a nationwide partnership composed of The federal partner, (USDA) the state partner (USU Extension Service) and the county partner 4-- ment of Agriculture.

Manti Citys role would be to endorse the project and pass a resolution approving the sale of the industrial bonds. Manti passed such a resolution in its last council meeting.
