Stake conferences and other such functions were held for several years in the old Deseret Ward House and later at the Millard Academy. Later with the population centering in the Delta area, the Stake officials shifted the Stake meeting place to the Delta First Ward Hall. For forty years the Stake was without its own meeting place. During the presidency of Joseph T. Finlinson, E. Leo Lyman and Wilford B. Hilton the need for the building was felt and allotments for fund raising submitted. The suceeding Stake Presidency, Harold R. Morris, M. Ward Moody and Warren Henderson, continued with the matter in selecting of location and plans, and at the time of their release the loca-tion was selected and the plans for the building approved. The present Delta Third Ward was organized February 15, 1948, by dividing the three Delta Wards and creating the new Third Ward. For lack of other facilities, they held their meetings in the Delta High School. The present Stake Presidency, June W. Black, L. J. Nel-son and Verdell'R. Bishop, together with the Bishopric of the Delta Third Ward comprising Emerald L. Moody, Merlin Christensen and Eldro Jeffery, commenced actual buflding operations on the 15th day of August, 1950. The cornerstone of the building was laid November 28, 1951. Bishop Emerald L. Moody was appointed contractor and Glen Oakes, building supervisor; Joe Henrie, assistant to the building supervisor; M. M. Stapley, timekeeper. A building committee for the Stake was selected by choosing Marion Henrie, Eldon A. Eliason and Archie O. Gardner. The Delta Third Ward selected as a building committee to assist the Bishop as contractor, Merlin Christensen in charge of labor; Eldro Jeffery in charge of machinery and equipment; Eldon A. Eliason, planning and finance; Albert Skidmore, grounds supervisor; W. LeGrande Law, plumbing; Harold Wind, electricity; L. Nielson Clark, fund raising; and Stanley Stewart, painting. Work continued unceasingly by the builders and the fund raisers, the Bishopric of all Wards cooperated completely. When finances became low in the fall of 1951, the entire Stake with practically every member of the Stake participa-ting joined in a two-da- y fund-raisin- g program known as the ''Mirthquake" under the chairmanship of High Councilman Eldon A. Eliason. The program brought in returns amounting to over $17,000.00 and created a unity and determination within the Stake which is long remembered. Structural cost of the building has been $160,000.00. The cost of furnishings and landscaping has been $20,000.00. The building has a chapel, recreation hall, 16 classrooms, Stake Presidency office, High Council room, Bishop's office, Re-lief Society room, junior Sunday School room, baptismal font, Boy Scout room and kitchen. The pipe organ, yet to be installed, was contributed by Marion Henrie and his sons, Fondd and Cutler. The Steinway Grand Piano was contributed by Orran and Carl Ashby. The contributions and support of the people, both those in the Church and those who are not members, have been gen-erous and gratifying. Many who no longer reside here have given of their support. The business establishments of the area have contributed in cash and in kind, in substantial amounts in excess of that solicited, particularly during the Mirthquake program. Many names and business houses could and should be publicly mentioned. Fearful of not properly recognizing all, the Stake Presidency and Delta Third Ward Bishopric hereby express to each their heartfelt appreciation. Special recogni-tion, however, should be expressed to those Bishoprics in the Wards of the Deseret Stake who so faithfully responded to the requests pade of them and who so unselfishly with their Ward population fulfilled all assignments and made the com-pletion and dedication of this building possible at this time.

Barrel and sawbuck may be kept until harness needs oiling again.
