McClellan, then Tabernacle organist, turned him toward the crgan, predicting a brilliant future for him. He played his first recitals at the Tabernacles before he was out of his teens and shortly thereafter he was permanently appointed to take his place at tahe organ bench. He went to Europe in 1924 for two-yeastudy with Charles Marie Widor of St. Sulpice, and Louis Vierne, organist at Notre Dame in Paris. The recording of the Saint-Saen- s Organ Symphony by the Utah Symphony and Dr. Schreiner was eminently successful having been nominated for the coveted Grand Prix du Disque in Paris.

Pulley, Director, Peoples Free Way, there are 19 children of kindergarten age who walk to Jefferson School and whose residence is above 9th South. Sixteen 1st graders also make the trek each morning. The area surrounding Jefferson School is bounded by highspeed freeway accesses and exits, and the collector-distributsystem that straddles Interstate Hghway 15. There are also major federal and state highways, high volume traffic city streets and railroads. To reach Jefferson School, the school children, ranging in age from six years upwards, must cross the 5th South access route, the 6th South exit, the 9th South on-osegment, West Temple Third West highway the Street, and railroads. Residents complain that the distance that school children must walk is too far when their age, physical endurance and comprehension of danger is concerned. They have asked for more traffic guards in the area and have pointed out that there have been not at many of the hazardous crossings. Since the area is heavily industrialized, they also point out that trucks entering or leaving their businesses create serious problems for the youngsters. The residents have suggested use of a mini bus to pick up children at the more distant locations, besides increasing the Employment in the private number of traffic guards. sector of the Utah economy totaled 289,249 in March 1973. an increase of 23.938 from March Bike-A-Th- on 1972. and payrolls amounted to $484.4 million, up $65 million, according to a report issued this week by the Bureau of Census. i Social and Economic Statistics mile amount a definite Administration, U.S. Department for each of Commerce. ridden, with a minimum of 5c Salt Lake County had the per mile.
