Show Page Five August SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS. Kanab, Utah 29, 1958 August Kanab Serviceman Teaches Gospel In Vietnam Fox Hole a couple of Mormon soldiers. Within a metal conex box which was entombed beneath a wooden bunker, Terry R. Braeg-geof Weston, Idaho; myself, and Stewart C. Robinson of Kanab, Utah, taught the Gospel to Eric Ole Anderson of Alhambra, Calif. Although we were holed up like rats in a trap we continued to teach the Gospel. On July 5, after the Khe Sanh bastion had been abandoned and destroyed, near Landing Zone stud just eight miles east of Khe Sanh, in the Ca Lu Creek, Brother Anderson was baptized into the Church. The three teachers held the baptismal service where the Spirit of the Lord was very evident, Lt. Pocock wrote. (The following article wliich recently appeared in the Church Section of the Deseret News, should be of interest to local residents.) This short item from Chaplain T. R. Poeock in Danang, Vietnam, could be entitled The Ca Lu Creek Incident. Lt. Pocock sends the item on to us. It was related to him by Scott G. Nick-ell- , cf Idaho Falls, Idaho, one of our LDS servicemen doing his bit over there. During the siege of Khe Sanh (February, March, April and part of May, Dear Marlin, 1968) when incom- ing artillery and rocket rounds were being fired upon them by the North Vietnamese army, the Gospel was being taught by Donald Keeney Receives Decoration In Vietnam COMBAT AIR FORCES, Viet-naU. S. Air Force Major Donald R. Keeney, son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Keeney of Providence Ky., and husband of the former Ella Rae MacDonald, formerly of Kanab, has been decorated with the Distinguish ed Flying Cross at Tan Son Nhut AB, Vietnam, for heroism in military operations in Southeast Asia. Major Keeney distinguished himself by extraordinary achievement in aerial flight as a pilot.. The major was cited for flying long and arduous missions over hostile territory to obtain valuable reconnaissance data. The major was also awarded the Bronze Star Medal and five Air Medals for his actions in it Vietnam. He flew over 500 hours during his tour. He has been reassigned to Maxwell AFB, Ala., as a member of the faculty of the Air Command and Staff College. A graduate of Providence Hig!. School, Major Keeney received a B.S. degree in 1956 from Utah State University and was commissioned there upon completion of the Reserve Officers Training Corps program. His wife, Ella, is the daughter Sorry for the delay but Ive been so busy, busy, with teaching Summer School at Weber State. I havent had time for important things like renewing my subscription to the Southern Utah News, It was like old times seeing Kirbys lines in your paper keep him writing and keep those papers coming. I love those home folk in Kanab and will always feel a part of that lovely little place nestled in the vermillion cliffs of southern Utah. I wrote this short verse and placed it below the sandstone picture I got from Rex (I enjoy this touch of Kanab on my wall) : Out cf the deserts Wind sculptured sandstone Nature speaks In bended lines of color To those whose eyes Are lifted up In heartfelt admiration.

Floor space in the Kanab Barco building is about the same as that of the sewing department of the home plant. It houses about 85 machines. In addition they do the cutting, finishing, shipping, inspecting, and all the rest that goes witli such an operation, including the designing, pattern making, promotion, printing, and the like. can satisfactorily produce. If handled properly, and there is every indication that it will be, the venture should prove very satisfactory both to Barco and to the people of Kanab and surrounding area. One good factor is that the industry does not bring with it the smoke and dirt of the area it is coming from. Another busiis that it is a ness and will help greatly with our winter payroll. Wages being paid will be good for this area. In a very short time the annual will be between $100,000 and 150,000 and may soon go to half a million dollars a year. Looking back, we asked ourselves the question, What brought it here. We asked this question at the home plant in California. The first contact was made by the State and Bill Smirl has been active in this program on a state level. The reputation of the Moimon people for industry and the high average production of other Utah plants brought Barco into our State. The available building brought them to Kanab. Their reception by such men as Jerry Lewis and Taylor Crosby, of the Chamber cf Comyear-roun- In the Kanab operation they will receive the uniforms cut out. They will be put together here and shipped back to Gardena to be trimmed and finished. It means that transportation will have to be paid each way from Los Angeles here and back and still be produced at the same price, or less expensively as it is done down there. If this can be done, and again we are sure that it can, then this plant can continue to expand. It can do so by adding ether operations and by increasing the sewing operation. d pay-ro- ll merce, of Duke Aiken, There are several reasons why tliis plant will be expanded in preference to the three on the coast. One is the labor market, which Is much better here. One is the test of land a.d oilier item; of expansion. . 2. This bill has little if any effect g since its provisions are not so broad as the standards which are now the law because of the Supreme Courts recent rulings linking to a 1866 Civil Rights statue. This section was a weak, watered down provision the important part was the SECTION. Anyone who read the bill would know. THIS IS A HALF TRUTH. Open-Housin- g Dale Clarkson, H.

While we were going through their plant in Gardena, we asked one of the men who came to Kanab on the first visit if there was anything we could do to help get the plant established. He commented that everyone he met up here was overly anxious to have the plant come in. I replied that the folks here were not particularly anxious, but that they just wanted to help. Kanab got along very well for 100 years before it ever heard of Banco. It would get along very well for another 100 years if it never heard of Barco.

Many from here attended the Kane County Fair held at the past week and felt that it was a huge success. Many contributed to the displays and activities. The Glendale MIA held their yearly Honor Night for the various groups of girls this week. It was well attended by the girls, their mothers and leaders. Most of the girls received their Certificates of Honor for the past year. Speakers at sacrament services Sunday evening were talks by Jerry Spencer, Gweniever Anderson, President of the Primary and Sam R. Chamberlain with a vocal solo rendered by Mrs. Sam R. Chamberlain. She sang, If Christ Should Come Tomorrow," accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Leah Brinkerhoff. A large crowd was there to enjoy the service. IS NOT TRUEI Any bill that threatens to fine or imprison those who riot, incite to riot, provide means for a riot, or cross state lines to assist in a riot Is hardly one that supports those who promote erine and violence in our nation's cities. 4. THIS Seeing this, one could almost say that Mark E. Anderson and his gang are avoiding truth OR they want the Rap Browns and Stokely Carmichaels of our nation to cross state lines to stir up riots, to teach others to make Molotox Cocktails, to tr ansport these weapons across state lines. IF MR. ANDERSON DOES NOT SUPPORT THESE CRIMINALS, THEN HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO VOTE FOR THIS OPEN HOUSING BILL. -- Haven't we had enough GAPSmanship with the Democrats without its invading our own party (Paid Political Advertisement by Jim Carrico) 49c 46 ounce cans By the case (12 cans) $530 PINEAPPLE JUICE 29c 46 ounce cans AMBER VINEGAR e 4.
