St. George "Longhorn" Caught The last surviving Utah "Texas Longhorn," weight 1400 pounds and with a horn spread of 39 inches,, is now gracing St. George dinner tables. Caught by Rudger Anthony and John P. Atkin in cently found circled the Pahvant a roundup, the big steer 'battled' his captors continually as he was trucked some 50 miles to the butcher pen, refused food and water after capture, and dressed 702 pounds of good red-point meat. His head, mounted, will be seen in the Biology Department Depart-ment of Dixie Junior College later this fall. I Bcckwilh Explains Crater Frank Beckwith, Editor of the Delta Chronicle, and by heart a geologist, is the first man to actually discover that the famous fam-ous Pahvant Butte, in Millard County, a huge and extince volcano vol-cano crater, is only a youngster compared with a much older crater which Mr. Beckwith re-Butte. re-Butte. Discovered by Father Escalante in 1776, nearly 170 years ago when he came through Utah and designated on his map as an isolated mountain in "The Valley of Salt", the Pahvant Butte is a half mile in diameter and 850 feet high. The Butte is also mentioned by Gilbert in his U. S. Geologic Survey in 1890. It remained, however, for Editor Beckwith to get curious enough about the Butte to fly over it in a plane, and in doing so discovered dis-covered an older and more an-! an-! cient crater ring a mile in dia-I dia-I meter circling Pahvant Butte. When Utah was considerably under Lake Bonneville, Pahvant Butte was then a live volcano, building its cone nearly a thousand thous-and feet above the lake bottom and possibly to the surface of the water. Millions of years and tell-tale crater ring first recognized recog-nized by Editor Beckwith from 3,000 feet in the air. "If," questions ques-tions Editor Beckwith, "this sleeping giant awoke twice in the last billion years who knows when it will awaken again?" ning of the war, will be available ' to the discharged soldier for job training. In addition, Mr. Gun-derson, Gun-derson, the local directors, and the instructors who have worked in war production training are fully conversant with the most expert methods in the supervision super-vision and training of men for aiier-war employment,, yei, uieu plan is flexible enough to be quickly adapted to any new needs that, may arise in the training and employment fields. Training On The Job It is particularly pertinent at this time that employers throughout the state know that they arc entitled to act as agencies for training-on-the-job if they are approved by the State Board for Vocational Edu-cataion. Edu-cataion. Superintendent E. Allen Bateman has been given the responsibility of supervising the training and of approval of all training agencies in the state. This will insure qualified instruction, in-struction, adequate equipment and a continuing interest in the satisfactory progress of every veteran. Any employer interested inter-ested in hiring one or more veterans vet-erans and in doing training-on-the-job should immediately contact con-tact Supt. Bateman for application applica-tion blanks. Upon the receipt of applications, officers of the vocational vo-cational department will Inspect and determine if the facilities are of such a nature that the veteran is assured of continued and satisfactory progress in his chosen work. Continued clarlf 1- cation of various phases of this training, so vital to so many persons, per-sons, will be continued In succeeding suc-ceeding articles.
