gan wondering, like everyone
else, whether the husband who
was to join me was just some
thing I dreamed up! Finally, he
slid into his chair mumbling,
“I like never to have found
my trousers, where you hid
them in that ‘cute’ little 6”
compact closet!” We managed
to finish breakfast in time to
get off in Chicago at 9:45. We
had the whole day before us —
with the exception of one hour
which we had lost in transit —
we now ran our watches back
to central time.
Naturally, our favorite “son
of the soil’s” thinking turned
to livestock—for it was here
in his youth he had attended
an International Livestock
Show; and mine just as natur
ally turned to Marshall Field’s.

। Immediately stockyards and
> Field’s were ruled out. Having
on previous visits gone thru
the Art Institute, and other
points of interest, we settled
for a second visit to the Mu-
I seum of Natural History and
nearby Shedd Aquarium. Time
। stood still as we marvelled
i anew at the Creator’s omnipot
' ence. and man’s ingenuity in
I recording and unfolding the
i history of the ages and civiln
tion, so comnrehensively. The
w’ind off Lake Michigan kept
getting colder until we began
wondering if the season as well
as the clock had done an about
face: so leaving much unseen,
and a lot of shoe-leather, we
made our weary but a little
wiser wav back to Union Sta
tion by bus.
While waiting to board the
Union Pacific’s ultra-modern
Domeliner, The Citv of Los
Angeles, we turned back the
years and crowded into a little
“picture-automat” to have our
pictures made. When we look
ed at what must have been that
mechanical cam e r a’s worst
work of art, namely our weary
selves, we had the laugh we
needed to lift our fagging spir
its!
The Domeliner with is ex
panded viewing facilities, over
head as well as windows, ver
itably projected you into the
landscape, until you became a
1 part of all you saw And Dome
> Diners left sightseeing unin
, terrupted as you enjoyed a
leisurely meal.
. As we glided along the plains
of lowa and Nebraska, we won
’ dered if our children would
one day be making a similar
। trip on wheel-less coaches of
compressed air route trains. At
North Platte, Neb. we lost an
-1 other hour, as watches were
set back to Mountain Standard
time. Mile after mile of the
' Great Plains unfolded — we
strained our eyes, but had to
close them to see the bands of
Vanishing Americans that used
to roam here; or the stage
coaches and covered wagons of
the pioneers. In the midst of
which historical reminiscing,
our practical companion point
ed out that “his cows just didn't
know how lucky they were,
they would starve to death on
that sage-brush and sand”! On
thru Old Cheyenne and Lara
mie, into the Front Ranges of
the Rockies, thence into the
Wasatch Range and Salt Lake
City, and the Convention at
Hotel Utah.
The city immediately im
presses one with its beauty,
spaciousness, wide, wide streets
which you have to be a fast
walker to cross on one stop
light; its Mormon Church dom
inance; its vitality and driving
purpose. The famed Mormon
Church Square across from the
Hotel Utah, is the center of
community as well as spiritual
life of its Mormon founders.
Brigham Young, with his band
of followers did not just build
a church—he veritably built a
way of life, in which most
Mormons are orthodox. Os Salt
Lake’s some 200.000 popula
tion, 58 percent are Mormons;
while the percentage of 60 per
cent of Salt Lake County's
380,000 environs runs even
higher. Although Joseph Smith
founded Mormonism in New
York in 1830, it was President
Brigham Young, who after
President Smith’s mob-murder,
led the denomination westward
in 1847.
Salt Lake City stands as a
monument to the indomitable
spirit of America, and all free
men whose determination,
courage and invincibility have
chisled stairways up the gran
ite mountains of time and civi
lization.
We arrived in time for the
finale of the Convention’s ini
tial program, presided over by

Included among entertainment
features for the 575 NEA guests
were; a tour of the Mormon
Tabernacle Grounds; a Lunch
eon for the ladies by Sperry
and Hutchinson Green Stamp
Co., wuth TV-movie star Anita
Colby as guest speaker; tour of
Kennecott Copper Mine, the
world’s largest open pit cop
per mine: the Great Salt Lake,
where you cannot sink; Hill
Air Force Base Tour; Brown
ing Armory, near Ogden. Utah;
Como Springs near Morgan,
Utah, with a chuckwagon bar
becue. and a World Champion
ship Rodeo; Brighton, where
there were thrills galore in the
Majestic Storm Mountain Ski
lift in Cottonwood Canyon; and
of course the Awards Dinner
—the climax of the entire Con
vention. An additional treat
for us was the privilege of
seeing Mr. and Mrs. Sidney
Graham, who for many .years
were a part of the News Fami
ly; but are now residents of
Salt Lake City, where Sidney
is a member of Long Bank Note
Company.
At the gracious invitation of
the Jenkins from Baxley, we
were their guests for the scenic
drive to Yellowstone Park
through the beautiful Teton
Mountain Range, which we
would have missed, had we
made the trip by train, over
night. The companionship of
these congenial friends of many
years made this one of the most
cherished phases of our entire
trip. Before leaving on Sunday,
we attended services at th°
Mormon Tabernacle and heard
the famous Mormon Choir with
350 voices, accompanied by one
of the world’s largest organs—
-11,000 pipes.
We reached the Tetoi.s just
at nightfall; but decided to go
on through. That must have
been a mistage, for we found
after 16 miles we were on the
wrong road, so back to Victor,
Idaho for the night. And, that
was so right, for the majestic
beauty of the Tetons, rising
13.766 ft. above sea level, the
scenic and historic spots such
as Jackson Hole, Wyo., last of
the Old West, where despe
rados sought a last hide-out;
Elk, deer and other wildlife,
made us quite grateful for that
wrong road of the previous
nite.
Eventually we reached Yel
lowstone National Park, via the
South Entrance and West
Thumb, but that is another
story; and the Broom insists if
we except any cooperation, we
had better come back down to
earth, and do the Office —
“SWEEPIN’UP”.
