Show ; People and Progress By Jim Cannon THIRTY YEARS ON THE JOB without an absence due to sickness is the record set by one of our well-known south-easterners, south-easterners, A. C. "Al" Swift. The other day Al dropped in to say hello and mentioned that he was on sick leave for a day from his job at The Deseret News printing plant for the first time since October, 1918. At that time, Al had a touch of flu during the postwar epidemic. He remembers his last absence very keenly because it was the same day that L. D. S. Church President Joseph F. Smith was buried. His 10-18 absence was clue to a bad cold. But, according to Al, he just had to get out for some fresh air. We could tell that his 30 years of faithful service to The Deseret News printing presses have made their mark on Al, however, else why would he be drawn so magnetically to our printing plant while out walking? GUNS OF ALL TYPES and ages have been gathered from all parts of the United Slates by Horace A. Sorensen for the Sons of Utah Pioneers museum. We had a chance to look over the collection last Tuesday night, and were very surprised to learn that every gun has a supply sup-ply of ammunition and can still shoot. Some of the guns are of Revolutionary Y'ar vintage, too- You'll have an opportunity to see this marvelous collection of old-time guns in a few weeks. Don't miss it. VENISON FOR EVERYONE who attends the next S.U.P. dinner-meeting at Horace Soren-sen's Soren-sen's "roundhouse" museum was promised by Dick Lambert and George Biesinger who plan on doing their deer hunting near Coalville this week end. Horace was untouched by their optimism, however, and said he thought he would have a couple of lambs cooking . . . just in case. |
