This is open to the general public and will be free of charge. Mr. Jensen was born in Roerslev, Fyb, Denmark, and came with his parents to Ephraim when he was eight months old. The family lived in a small log house in the southeast part of town, known to Ephraim residents as "Cobble Heaven. He attended Ephraim public school and Snow College. At the age of 13, Chris became interested in and joined the Lone Scouts of America, a program instituted by W. D. Boyde for boys living on farms and in small communities. The official organ of this program was The Lone Scoot magazine. At age 15 Chris won third place in an international essay one-ma- n competition, sponsored by this magazine which encouraged its boy readers to contribute articles and drawings. His winning essay was on Indian chiefs in and around Sanpete County. Mr. Jensen has written and illustrated many features about Sanpete County, generally, and Ephraim in particular, for Ford Times, Pioneer West, Desert, The Salt Lake Tribune, Good Old Days and the Ensign magazine. Several years ago, the University of Utah Press printed a collection of Mr. Jensens Sheepherder Sam cartoons. The book was sold throughout the United States and Canada, and a copy is in the Yale University Library. His biographical sketches have been printed in such publications as The Dlustrator, Pioneer West, The Salt Lake Tribune, Grain Producers News, and The Encyclopedia of Utah. exhibits He has had shown at Brigham Young University, the Provo Municipal Building, the Springville Art Museum, the University of Utah, and many of his paintings are hanging in private one-ma- n from Grenada duty Warrant Officer Jacobson returned to Ft. Bragg, N.C., with the 82nd Combat Aviation Battalion, Delta Unit Sunday afternoon after a tour of combat duty in Grenada. Delta Unit was flown to Barbados Oct. 28 aboard huge C5A Galaxy Transport planes. Approxmately 50 men with field gear, plus two 58 aeroscout and 6 Cobra helicopters made up the cargo aboard the plane. Flying time from Ft. Bragg to Barbados was about four hours. Then the rotary aircraft were unloaded and refueled. Mr. Jacobson and his Randy Olsen, flew the Aeroscout to Grenada which took one and a half hours additional flying time. y t, They landed at Salinas airport on the southern tip of Grenada where they slept in puptents lOOyards from the ocean. The runway, which had been built by the Cubans, was 50 yards behind them. Airplanes landed and took off from this runway all night. The active shooting had ceased by the time Delta Unit landed, but a lot of flying time was spent along the coast and in the mountains flushing out snipers hidden there, as well as providing air escorts for the huge transport helicopters. Ground units saw plenty of action. The Aeroscouts do not carry any auxiliary weapons. Mr. Jacobson commented that his experience was a "guerilla" type exercise. Much valuable information and training was the end result for his unit. Mr. Jacobson described the huge arms found in cache of Russian-buil- t Grenada as including rifles, machine guns and Btr. 60 light armored vehicles mounted with ADA machine guns. The Grenadians were extremely glad that the Americans had come. They brought gifts of bananas and coconuts to the U.S. Servicemen and "praised God that the U.S. had come WOI Don W. Jacobson in time. The natives also proved very helpful in pointing out many Cubans who were rounded up and flown to Barbados where they were loaded on Cuban airliners and shipped to Cuba. The Grenadian government is awarding all American servicemen a ribbon to be worn on their uniforms along with combat patches. Mr. Jacobson said that this experience has made him more deeply appreciative of his freedoms and opportunities as an American citizen. He also expressed hope that the people at home would realize the gravity of the situation in Grenada and give their full support to President Reagan and the military forces. While waiting in the airport in Barbados on Sunday, Don was happy to meet the president of the West Indies LDS Mission and two elders serving there. The helicopter to which Don is assigned was left in Grenada along with several Cobra aircraft and a of the 82nd small segment personnel. If they are to remain on the island longer than December 1, he may have to rotate w ith the pilots there and return to Grenada. Turkey cooking hints . . .
