And this is just the kind of a statement the citizens of the Uintah Uin-tah Basin like to hear, as this is the only celebration of its kind in the confnes of the state. Personal Invitation Last week five Indians from this reservation made a trip to the capitol city, where they ex-1 ex-1 tended personal invitation to the citizens of the state to come to Roosevelt. Uah and celebrate with them, and promised they would do their level best to show the white folks a good time. The Indians were the happy guests of Governor Herbert B. Maw, known as "Chief White Feather", Salt Lake City's congenial con-genial Mayor, Earl J. Glade; K. S. L. radio station; Salt Lake Tribune-Telegram; Desert News and were taken on a sight-seeing trip through the temple grounds by L D S church officials. "It was a great day, said Jim Atwine, only I am plenty tired". The Indians, Mayor George H. Harrison and program chairman V. A. Bair. put in a splendid plug for state and national help to erect a permanent Indian village vil-lage at Roosevelt, and to have it advertised as a special attraction for the state's centennial celebration celebra-tion in 1947. , .... .. - Splendid Support Without a question, the business busi-ness men and merchants of Rooseevlt realize the importance of this their only annual affair, and are determined to inhance its value as years go on. They not only appreciate the trade received re-ceived from the indian population popula-tion throughout the year, but feel it an honor to plan the celebration cele-bration in their honor. With the coming years it is hoped that it will not only be a one day affair but several days and that citizens citi-zens from all over the state will be attracted to the center of Indian In-dian activity, they have contributed con-tributed freely with time and money, it is their celebration, and no charges are made for the entertainment. Therefore, they welcome everyone ev-eryone to attend. |
