number of tiny refugees Impover- ished mothers entered maternity hospitals at Vladivostok to give birth then abandoned their babies there Other parents took their sick children to hospitals where government-pai- d doctors could minister to them But it is up to the patients' families to bring warm blankets and buy medicine something many families cannot afford to do Hospital workers watched

Genesis prophecy By Kenneth W Godfrey Two yean ago when Utahns celebrated the sesquicentennial of the arrival of the Mormon Pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley I sometimes said that I learned more about those folks than I really wanted to know This year is the 132nd anniversary of that event Native Americans whose ancestors inhabitated the Great Basin for hundreds of years before the arrival of the Latter-da- y Saints probably yawn or two at our making such a big fuss over those 1847 newcomers Still most of us enjoy celebrations and the excuse to miss work It is appropriate too to think about our past and the contributions Continued on Page 22 Friday Outdoors: A park of their own erf those who made this region what it is today whether they be oldcomers or newcomers I still like to

chronicling new aspects of the westward movement of our ancestors Richard White and other historians have informed us that many Latinos moved north not west and Orientals traveled east not west to reach California Nevada Montana Oregon Wash- ington and Utah White and other “new Western historians” so-call- ed argue too that the lands our ancestors inhabited were not empty as early historians

position to strike Groo quickly cut a big stick and to quote his diary "bruised the serpent’s head” thus fulfilling a prophecy first heard by Mother Eve The Nebraska plains were “thick with prairie rattlesnakes” The overlanders See GODFREY on Page 22 Features: - ‘j 752-212- 8r 1 |
