Furniture Celebrates 31st Anniversary Square dancing, a giant birth-day cake, surprises and enter-tainment will be featured at the 31st birthday party of South East Furniture Company, Thurs-day evening, September 5 at 8 p. m. The lavish natal festivities will be free to the public. Scene for the big party is the South East parking lot, and the party will be televised at 9 p. m. The huge Sugar House store t was started by its current presi-dent, Horace A. Sorensen, and his father, Soren C. Sorensen. Later, as the younger brothers J. Gordon, S. Morgan and Calvin S., grew up, they joined the staff. Now, a third generation is being absorbed into the store operation. May-nar- d and Stanford, sons of "Mr. H. A.." are now in responsible positions at South East. Preserved at Pioneer Village is the receipt, handwritten in pencil, of the first furniture sale made bv the Sorensen family. It is dated 1908, carries an Ephraim dateline and was written by the elder Sorensen for a suite of furniture sold to a newiywed couple of Sanpete County. Later, the Sorensens moved to Salt Lake Valley, and organized South East Furniture Company. Doors of the new venture were opened the day after young Hor-ace graduated from the U of TJ. Now, almost fifty years after that first hand written receipt, the Sorensens furniure company employs several hundred persons, and all the bookkeeping is done by machine ' !"

Clyde To Be Speaker Dairymen of the Southeast area have been invited to attend a dairy industry banquet on Thur-sday at Hotel Utah, honoring the 110th anniversary of the industry in Utah and the 350th year of the industry in America. Governor George D. Clyde, who entered dairying at seven as a herds boy, will be the featured speaker. A. J. Morris, managing director of the American Dairy Association of Utah, will preside. Special guests will be 17 county dairy princesses, competing for the state title. The winner will be announced Friday evening in a special telecast on KTVT at 8: p. m. sponsored by Utah Oil Refining Company. Counties re-presented in the finals include: Box Elder, Cache, Emery, Iron, Millard, Morgan, Piute, Salt Lake, Sanpete, Sevier, Uintah, Utah, Summit, Wasatch, Washington, Wayne and Weber. George R. Donald, 'Salt Lake City dairyman, is in charge of the program for the event. Wallace Parrish, Logan, is state dairy princess chairman, with Wilbur C. Parkinson of Salt Lake City as associate. Committee Defer Parking Ban Issue Erection of parking ban signs along Highland Drive will be deferred for six months, said Willis G. Carlisle, representing the merchants on the Highland Strip. This will give the merchants time to arrange enough off-stre- et parking to accomodate from 200 to 300 automobiles. The recent combined city-coun- ty ;ommission decision to ban parking on 1100 East and Highland Drive, from the Sugar House plaza to 3400 So. during rush hours drew heated comments from the busi-nessmen on Highland Drive south of 2700 South. The parking ban will take effect when the regulatory signs are put up. Deferrment of this action for six months will enable merchants to provide offstreet parking space for their customers, and thus keep customer goodwill and business even after the ban takes effect. School Doors Open-Increase- d Enrollment Noted By Faculties All schools in the southeast area are expecting increased en-rollments this week. New class-rooms and facilities such as the Highland High gymnasium are expected to handle some of the increase. However, the flood of new students will still bulge the schools to the limit of their new c?racities. For instance, Highland High School has seven new classrooms, b-i- t is expecting some 1900 pupils to register before the week is out. This makes an increase of 650 "nils over last year. Part of this inorons-- ; is accounted for by the pddition of 11th grade classes, which were not taught last year. The new gymnasium at High-land will provide a room to hold school assemblies, as well as the obvious athletic events. Principal W. F. Arbogast says that shops, an auditorium, an art and music suite of rooms should be ready for use next year. The school cafe-teria will be in operation within three weeks, ho said.

Young Demo Chief Leaves Fo" Convention Allan Howe, president of the Utah Young Democrats, left Thur-sday for a Western States con-vention of the organization in Portland Oregon. Plans will be made for the National Conference which will be held in Reno, Nevada, Nov. 7th, 8th and 9th. At the con-ference, Utah will represent 8 votes, said Mr. Howe. The fact that politics is impor-tant to young people is pointed to by the disclosure that there are Young Democrat organiza-tions in all but two states, related Mr. Howe. In our own area, plans are being made to interest college students in the movement when they register for college. There will be delegates there on registration day for those inter, ested in joining. Also, the state executive committee of the Young Democrats has met and elected committees for organization, and finance. Mr. Howe, with his family, reside at 1821 East 3900 South. 4 I Hoi.
