Show I around the C 0 R ! I Nl I SUGAR HOUSE E j j With the Editor Jjj Last Tuesday The Bulletin and the Tribune-Telegram people joined forces in the interests of better government. By some matter of fortune, the two of us (Trib.-Tel. and The Bulletin), were called upon to give registration regis-tration information to all interested. inter-ested. Take it from us, every- Obody in Salt Lake and Sugar House was inertested! (Which should be an encouraging sign to those who claim Salt Lakers don't care about politics). We had well over a hundred calls And as far as we know, the only misinformation we handed out was to the person who made the last call, nine minutes before the registration places closed their doors. We sent some poor guy four blocks out of his way to the wrong voting district. We felt badly about.it as soon as we discovered our mistake. However, How-ever, we didn't ever get any repercussions on it, so maybe they let him sneak under the wire anyway. We've had any number of people drop in this week to tell us of some doings somewhere in the area which The Bulletin serves. Because we do get so many announcements of meetings, meet-ings, weddings, engagements, dinners, breakfasts, parties, luncheons dances, tournaments and so forth, we have decided to combine much of this interesting, inter-esting, newsy material into a full-time feature column. And following in our policy of "Nothing's "Noth-ing's too good for Bulletin read-ers"-ve hve secured the services serv-ices of veteran newspaper woman, wo-man, Elaine Anderson Cannon, former Deseret News society ed- j Itor, Women's editor, Legend j Magazine and Tribune-Telegram campus editor for several years. Watch for her column which be-1 gins this week: "Southeastern-ers "Southeastern-ers in the News." We have great hopes that Mrs. Cannon's column will grow into a first-rate first-rate society page one of these days. Last Thursday night we had a newspaperman's "chance of a lifetime." We were just putting the paper to bed. It was a little afer 1 a.m. and the presses were rolling smoothly. All of sudden brakes screeched and sirens screamed out in front of the shop and down the street roared the fire wagon. We ran to the front door and yelled "Stop the presses!" in the best journalistic journalis-tic tradition. But it was too late at night. The pressman refused. OAt that hour he wouldn't stop the press if The Bulletin was on fire. We received a letter the other day from E. Cecil McGavin, prominent Utah writer and historian his-torian and author of The Bulletin's Bulle-tin's own "Sugar House Sermon-ettes." Sermon-ettes." He told us that he had several other projects in mind as soon as his present series is concluded. con-cluded. We had asked him several sev-eral weeks ago to be thinking over some ideas we had in mind. We are anxiously awaiting his new material. Of it he writes: "After completing the story of the sugar mill, I would like to spend three articles telling the V story of Parley's canyon, then one about the old log house at the Hyrum Jensen home, in Which the widow of Hyrum Smith lived; then perhaps a few biographical sketches of the early pioneers and home builders build-ers in the Sugar House area." The Bulletin is very proud and honored to publish these fas- cinating and informative "ser-I "ser-I monettes" by this fine historian. |
