The plate shows the 'first class held by Dr. Karl G. Maeser in the old academy in the year 1875. There are the girls in their home-spun dresses and the boys in tur-ned up collars and long hair. There are the deep window sills and the rough wooden floors common to the time. On the back are the words giv-en Dr. Maeser by President Brig-ha- Young as he left to open the school: "I want you to remember that you ought not to teach even the alphabet or the multiplicat-ion tables without the Spirit of God. That is all. God bless you." The plate is a completed pro-ject fashioned after a dream which became a reality through the ef-forts of Jennie Knight Mangum, daughter of Jesse Knight.

Desert Reaches Critical Stage Hear Black Rock The livestock industry in the area around Black Rock is faced with a critical shortage of feed and no water. The lack of water necessitates the trailing of sheep to the var-ious troughs to which water is hauled. This seriously curtails the area in which the sheep may graze and is resulting in overgrazing in certain areas already in a serious condition due to the lack of feed which is caused by the extended drought this summer and fall. It is estimated that each sheep will drink approximately 2 gallons of water at one watering and they are now being watered every other day. The amount of water hauled from Black Rock can only be ap-preciated when it is known that six herds of around 2000 sheep each are dependent upon this wa-ter. This means transporting of about 24,000 gallons of water every other day. Farther west in Wah Wah valley in an area centering around the Black Rock-Garris- road, are five herds that require over 20,000 gal- - Ions o'f water every other day. This water is hauled from a govern ment well about 25 miles west of Black Rock. Taken together the water haul-ing amounts to around 44,000 gal-lons of water every other day. This will continue until sufficient storm blankets the area with moisture. But should too much snow fall, the sheep industry would again be in a dangerous position because of the lack of winter feed, and would in all probability cause the feeding of concentrated foods. This danger is anticipated by some as is evidenced by the trucks and trailers that are now hauling con-centrates to - various deposits on the rangje. Final Rites For Soren Anderson Held Thursday Funeral services for Soren C. Anderson, 69, lifelong Oak City res-ident, were conducted Thursday by Bishop Finlinson in the Oak City ward chapel. Mr. Anderson died Dec. 4 of a heart ailment. "Oh My Father," sung by the Oak City ward choir, conducted by Eddie Q. Dutson, opened the services, followed by prayer by Harold Anderson. Eldon Sorenson sang "Going Home." Speakers were Willis Dutson and George Anderson of Oasis. They Peter H. Peterson of Oasis. They spoke of the good life of Mr. An-derson had lead, as a faithful and active LDS member, and of the pleasant memories held of him as a man of good nature and keen sense of humor. He was prepared and ready to go on a temple ex-cursion at the time of his unex-pected death. He possessed a fine voice and had long been a mem-ber of the ward choir, and had used his talent in many commun-ity programs. Other music included a quartet by Lyman Finlinson, Fraricis An-derson and Mr. and Mrs. Junius Anderson, and "Some Time We'll Understand," by the choir.

' I I ', ' t f i ; Which twin has the "Toni" or a double exposure? Old timers will tell you that these are twins, and that they came by those curls na-turally. It was in 1911 that these little girls first arrived in this part of the country, coming here 'from Ne-braska. There were two more sis-te- s in the family, one older, one younger. Their father was a den-tist, and their mother had died when the youngest child was a baby. The father stayed in Delta a while, and then went on to Los Angeles, where he still is. But the girls remained here, with grand-parents and uncle and aunt. All four grew up on west Millard farms, the twins on the North Tract the other two southwest of Delta. Then one twin wen to California and took nurse's training. She liv-ed in California twenty years or more, was married there, but a returned, and is year or more ago again on a North Tract farm. The other twin stayed in Delta during most of the time her sister was in California, was married some years ago moved east, and is now in California. Both twins have one daughter Delta and one apiece, one born in in California. Now the Delta one is in California, and the other one If you think this is getting more and more muddled, you are right. Folks that have known these twins how easy it is for years know just when trymg to to get mixed up tell these twins apart. Why not and look for the gwe it all uP, answer.

Provides Light, Saves Wall Space ' ' ' IS. t Here's an unusual but practical idea for providing more light in a library wi& minimum loss of wall space, says American Builder magazine. Two small windows in the exterior wall, between the counter and book shelves, make the room bright and cheerful. The windows open on hinges to pro-vide ventilation when desired. Clever Comedy Comes Dee. 15 "Pride and Prejudice", comedy drama based on the English clas-sic by Jane Austen, will be pre-sented Friday, Dec. 15, at 8 p. m. in Delta high school auditorium.

Heating Plant Requires Care Although modern heating sys-tems will produce more heat at lower cost than those available just a few years ago, they still will not perform at peak eff-iciency without some attention. Now is the time to make cer-tain that your heating system is in good order, says American Builder magazine, so that you can depend on it to keep your home warm and cozy when the really cold weather comes. Have you checked on the con-dition of your furnace, or had your chimney cleaned? Regard-less of the type of fuel used, the heating plant itself should be cleaned every year and adjusted in order to produce the maximum amount of heat. The building industry publica-tion points out that fuel bills in-crease when heating systems are neglected. Therefore, careful in-spection should be made of the equipment even though it seems to be performing satisfactorily. Auxiliary of Post 117 Sends Parcels The Auxiliary of Post 117, Amer-ican Legion, completed making bed jackets at their meeting Mon-day night, and they will be ship-ped to the infirmary at Provo and also to the veterans' hospital in Salt Lake.
