The museum is maintained and sustained entirely on the contributions of the traveling public and local people and it has never ceased growing since it started. What is most important is that there is something of simplicity and homespun quality that is now hard to find.

Golden Sanderson of Fairview (where the museum is located.) one of the early originators, affirms that the great challenge to those who work with the museum is to make the public aware of how unusual it is for a museum of this magnitude to be situated in a small community such as Fairview. In an effort to place emphasis on the fact that this museum is actually a Sanpete County effort, Mr. Sanderson has brought to the Snow College Library a sampling of the variety of diversified items on display in Fairview. Among the Snow College exhibit is a collection of unusual and very old conditioned oak roots which are very uniquely shaped. Mr. Sanderson said that one item, an artificial leg, was found in the garden of a Spring city native. This wooden leg had been smoothed and fashioned from an aspen limb, showing the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our pioneer ancestors. Also display at Snow are some cut glass and ceramics items and some historical dishes, as well as Indian artifacts and some ostrich plumes. Fipm his book, "The Shoulders on Dr. Demont Which We Stand, Howell of the Snow College faculty When the says of the museum, board decided to close the old sandstone elementary school which had for years provided the educational foundation for Fair-viechildren, the community was divided on what should be done with the old building. Some were in favor of razing the structure and using the property for other purposes; others believed the building (itself a museum of sort) could be put to better use. By 1962 this climate of indecision led Avard Fairbanks, a sculptor of national renown, to lease the building with the thought that he might like to make of it a gallery for some of his sculpturing. He did show several plasters of some fine work to the public for one summer, according to the book, but then abandoned the project. He did, however, leave several art pieces in the building. Dr. Howell continued, Fairview City then purchased the building from the North Sanpete School District for SI. 00, the stipulation being that the building be used for cultural purposes. Subsequently, Golden Sanderson, a local merchant, proposed that the building be used for a museum of local history and art and, not receiving favorable response from the City, Mr. Sanderson and Lyndon Graham (who had earned an artistic reputation for his minimature carvings in wood) each put in a $10.00 check and made a bid on the building. Being the only bidders, their bid was accepted. Dr. Howell also told of how a group of local citizens interested in preserving the symbols of their heritage and culture created ' corporation. Their aim and purpose was to add to the works of Fairbanks and Graham other artifacts and art pieces which would eventually result in a bona fide museum of local history and art.

The chairs are of an Eastlake design copied from original chairs in the temple and have all been hand crafted by a master artisan for future use in the temple. Mrs. Marjorie Tibbs, stake homemaking counselor, is chairman of the project and is being assisted by several supervisors: Lily Jane Miller, June Cox, Bonnie Olson, Colleen Nielson and Barbara Bailey. ' Much enthusiasm and dedication was evidenced as approximately 60 women gathered during the two-da- y workshop. They are extremely pleased to be able to needlepoint a chair w hich will become a permanent collection for a special room in the newly remodeled and redecorated temple. Each woman who makes a canvas will have her name placed on the chair. The workshops were concluded a luncheon held at noon Thursday, March 22 at the Manti Third-Fourt- h Ward cultural hall.
