Corry, who made the reeent tour of the coast states with Mayor E. M. Corry and party, returned home to Ogden last Saturday afternoon. They reported one of the most delightful trips of their lifetime. While Mr. Corry has earned mcmlwrship m these annual excursions each year for the past si years it has always been his misfortune misfor-tune for Mrs. Corry to be in too poor health to accompany him. This year they made the trip together. Mr. Corry was also feeling very happy over the honor conferred upon him at the Portland convention of the Mutual Life Insurance workers of the Western Division, when he was made president of the organization, which has several hundred delegates and includes all the territory west of Chicago, Chi-cago, and embracing the state of Illinois. Il-linois. The nomination was unsought, in fact unthought of by him. It came like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky, and he was elected over two nominees nom-inees from Chicago, who had made a most active campaign for the honor. That the recognition should be given to a member of the Salt Lake divis- . ion is a distinct honor, and the fact that the official chosen is a native of this place is an honor of which we can i all feel justly proud. Mr. (Jorry has the congratulations of The Record on I his good fortune. |
