The title of the mural may be the "First Pioneer Morman Trek" and will be finished around Thanksgiving. The overall measurements are 67 feet long by 10 feet high. The painting is done on canvas which has been glued to the wall and after a preliminary brown undercoat a white under tone is used, before the color is added. This method of painting was popular during the Renaissance days. Mr. Faucett has been painting the scenes and historical subjects of Utah for twenty years. For this mural he made an intensive research, including the contacting of many old-tim- ers in the East to establish the factual character-istics that will be portrayed. Mr. Faucett lives at 1105 Parkway Ave. Postal Drivers Receive National Safety Citation r i Pictured above are drivers from the Sugar House Station, Salt Lake City Post Office, who won awards for safe driving from the National Safety Council.

Aslo winning awards but not present for picture were Elbert J. Widdison, Mark Greene and Paul E. Pearson. As of the 1959 fiscal year ending June 30th the Salt Lake City Post Oitice Department established the enviable record of having driven 13 more miles than in 1958 but decreasing their accident rate by 55. - The average miles driven by the Salt Lake Post Office per year is L217.000. In comparison with 39 other fleet operations the National Safety Council has ranked our local Post Office fleet as 12th. This record is established byincluding all accidents, even though only 10J in damage or unavoidable. The local drivers are instructed to be defensive drivers, i.e., always ready for any situation that might develop. The three Cs are emphasized: "Courtesy, Caution, and Common-sense- ." We are extremely proud of the nine drivers from the Sugar House Post Office which contributed to the fine record of the Salt Lake Post Office Department. In winning the National Safety Council award, a driver must at all times operate his vehicle in a safe manner, and drive in a com-pletely errorless manner for one year. nl err -- i aa"' -- fr rrr rj T".
