But it may be unfair to Dean to say his keenest interest is In aviation, for If one follows his pamphlets and other writings he Is an ardent supporter of the under-dog- , a devotee of the WPA program, and an outstanding supporter of such things as the Municipal Power program, over the nation, and often contributed to Mayor Mark Anderson's data In regard to Provo's fight for Municipal Power.
