WhirlwindJs T'S a 2-to-1 bee ch at your hom e electricity is bor n in a man-made hurri ca ne five times as ferocious as a ny Nature ever cooked up. Engineers call it a steam turbine-gen erator.

A steam turbine i a kind of cross between a ma mmoth windmill a nd a giant's spinning top. It takes steam bot enough to heat the pipes a dull red , and squeezes the energy out of it until, 1/ 30 of a second later, all that's left is water too cool to bathe the ba by in. The turbine turns a generator which passes this energy on to you as electricity-so you can use it to cook an egg, or freeze ice cubes, or ma ke bombs to blast the Axis.

Today's turbine-gener ators turn out, from one ton of coal, more electricity th an three tons used tO give. That saved America millions of tons last year, plus precious man-hours in mining and transportationall because G-E engineers, along with boiler and powerplant d esigners and engineers of electric service companies, have been improving turbines for 40 years.

ALUMNI DUES

Annual Alumni dues have been raised to $2 by action of the Association Council at its May meeting. Dues for husband wife are $2.50.

A modification in the Alumni Constitution provides for a Joint Life Membership for husband and wife for $35, payable in seven annual installments. A single Life Membership is $25.

The irtcrease in dues was necessitated by the increase in Alumni Quarterly costs and an increase in Alumni Office expenses incident to the maintenance of personal records and files.

The war has doubled the task of keeping current records and addresses for our more than 6,500 alumni members.

This issue of the Alumni Quarterly is being sent to all members of the Alumni Association; however, the December, March, and May numbers will be sent only to dues-paying members.

Owens Named Extension Service Director Peterson Serves 19 Years as Head of Extension; Made Director Emeritus

By WILFORD D. PORTER, '22 College Editor

---r::,. HE old order has changed, yielding place to the new U

in the organization of the USAC Extension Service.

After nineteen years at the helm of this worthy rural educational division of the College, William Peterson, '99, known, admired and loved by thousands in Utah and other states, stepped down from the pilot's cabin to give way to a younger man, W. W. Owens, '16.

Years caught up with Director Peterson, and while the family calendar showed that he was sixty-nine, his ability to do things and get things done gave indication that he was a much younger man.

Director Peterson will still be closely connected with the Extension Staff. The administration changed his status to that of Director Emeritus, which means that his counsel and advice will be sought after, followed and greatly appreciated by administrative officers, staff members, and others of the faculty.

An eventful and colorful saga could be written about Director Peterson. His interests are as broad as life itself.

His store of information is almost incredible. His wisdom is that of a Solomon and yet he is sympathetic to those who deserve sympathy. In all his eager search for knowledge, he certainly has kept his serenity of spirit, his sense of humor, a keen sense of justice and right, and most certainly he has gained understanding.

If civilians were decorated for their meritorious actions and accomplishments, Director Peterson would have a display case filled with stars, bars, ribbons, medals, cups and many other symbols of distinguished service. Presidents, senators, governors, and numerous national, state, and county leaders in government, church, civic, and professional activities have sought his counsel. His chief interests are in people and the soil from which they extract their living . .. whether it be in agriculture or mining.

Geological records, files of reclamation projects, state laws, annals of state road building, rosters of college professors, directors of experiment stations and extension services, rolls of renowned scientists; church reports and lists of civic workers, all bear his name in prominent positions. He has walked among kings and never lost the common touch. Perhaps that was due to his early training in a humble home in Bloomington, Idaho, where he was born May 24, 1874, and from this early training he developed his unaltering belief in the manhood of humanity.

This state, and the other western states, will follow for many years to come many of the policies and procedures instigated by this great man. Thousands of individuals will live just a little better because he lived and worked for them. Alumni of the USAC should urgently request that Director Peterson be persuaded to write his memoirs. Such a record would be invaluable ... imperishable. The writing should be a command performance.

Director Peterson was one of the original organizers of the USAC Alumni Association in 1899, and has served several terms as president, including a period during which he was re-elected three consecutive years. He and Mrs. Peterson have seen four of their children attend the College, and

e

Director William Peterson and Successor W. W. Owens ...

Peterson's 19 years at the helm of the USAC Extension Service has left an imperishable influence on the agriculture of Utah and sur¡ rounding states. As his former assistant, Owens is well qualified to continue the excellent service given Utah farmers and livestock men by the Extension Division of the College.

three of them graduate: Fannie Mell Peterson Prescott, ex-Aggie; Don, '34; Victor, '35; and Margaret Peterson Manwaring, '38. Mrs. Peterson died August 29.

All will agree that the younger man, W. W. Owens, has been assigned a difficult task to step into the shoes of such a colorful character as Director Peterson. However, Director Owens has worked with his predecessor as his chief assistant for the major portion of the past nineteen years, and in the Extension Service for twenty-seven years. Such training and experience coupled with his earlier schooling and his native abilities fit him well for the top-man position.

Like Director Peterson, Director Owens is a graduate of the USAC and holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from this Institution. His chief interests while in college were agriculture with a leaning towards dairying and economics.

He has developed through assignments as school teacher, missionary, county agent, county agent leader, president of an L.D.S. stake, assistant director and now director.

He is quiet, fri endly, systematic, cooperative, sympathetic, orderly, and believes in allowing his colleagues to work out their assignments after the order of their own choosing.

By followin g that pattern, Di rector Owens is convinced that the best work of the individuals concerned will be forthcoming.

The new director was born in Willard, Box Elder County, April 3, 1888, a son of William Parsons and Agnes McArthur Owens. He married Clotilda Woodyatt, November 27, 1912. They have a son and two daughters, Richard W. Owens and Hazel Owens of Berkeley, California, and Mrs. Dale Bowen of Chicago, Illinois.

Some scribe at some future date, when the years catch up with Director Owens, will write the resume of his activities. Right now, his course lies straight ahead over a somewhat turbulent sea. All of us wish him pleasant sailing and a happy landing.

College Student Body Carries On Despite War-Time Loss of Officers With good prospects for a large war-time student body, student officers under the direction of Martha Peterson, vice-president, are outlining events for a normal school year of activity. Don Bowen, president-elect, completed requirements for graduation during the summer months and will continue post graduate work in Denver, Colorado, in October.

Returning to the post of secretary will be Bonna Jones, Overton, Nevada, while Ann Ryan, Marian West Wilkenson, and Frances Montrose, all Logan girls, will be assigned to one year council duties. Assigned to three year council seat is Harold Dance of Blackfoot, Idaho. When election for a president will be held, students will also elect two council members to fill vacancies left by Haven Barlow, Layton, and Melvin Israelson , Logan, who left for duty with the U. S. marines when the marine reserve was called in July.

Student body activities will center around a unique assembly schedule drafted by student council and faculty advisors. Stressing both education and entertainment, the programs will be conducted on a larger scale than in previous years.

Fall quarter will open Monday, September 27, when both new and old students will register. To acquaint freshmen with the campus and its traditions an orientation program has been set for the day, while a party will climax registration activities Monday evening.

Utah State Goes Ahead With Football as Romney Begins 26th Year as Coach Coach E. L . '1 Dick" Romney has definitely decided to go ahead with football this fall, he has announced, despite the fact that three scheduled opponents, Colorado State, Brigham Young, and Wyoming, have pulled out of the race this season.

The twenty-five year coach and director of Utah State athletics opened his training camp on September 10, bringing several high school stars to the school. He expects to see Paul Sanders and Lyngby Stoker, lettermen on the line, appear for practice next week, and perhaps a few of his many gridders of last fall who haven't been taken in the armed services.

Romney deplores the fact that campus men in uniform have been forbidden by the government to appear for the football call, but stated that his practices and schedules would in no way conflict \vith present plans of the army air corps, naval and marine trainees on the Logan campus. Colorado U will have the use of navy V-12 men stationed at Boulder, a fact which may cause the conference title to swing a little eastward, Romney pointed out.

Elected to head the USAC Alumni Association, is A. Russell Croft, conservationist at the Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station in Ogden. Deeply interested in the welfare of the College, he sees the Alumni Association and its activities as a powerful influence in behalf of the USAC. Head project on his 1943-44 agenda for Alumni work is the proposed Alumni House. He believes that such a building would go far in revitalizing alumni interest in their Alma Mater and would at the same time stimulate student interest in the alumni program .

Chosen to head the Alumni House project is E . T. Ralphs, prominent Logan business man. Ralphs is at the present time devoting full time to the Third War Loan campaign in Cache County and after October 1 will concentrate his attention on the Alumni House project. He was a resident of Salt Lake City for many years where he was affiliated with the Beneficial Life Insurance Company as General Manager. He is well known throughout Utah and surrounding states.

Ralphs, father of Eleanor Ralphs Thomas, '39, is enthusiastic about the proposed Alumni House, and with help from the alumni membership, will push the project through successfully.

In the May issue of the Utah State Alumni Quarterly, Alumni President D. A. Skeen suggested that the Association begin planning for an Alumni House on the College campus as the next big alumni project. As suggested in his editorial, such a structure would house the offices of the Association, serve as headquarters for visiting alumni and former students at all times of the year, especially at Commencement and Homecoming, serve as a depository for class records and mementos where such could be kept on exhibit. Such features as four or five guest rooms for overnight visits of alumni and for the use as required of college guests, a lounge or club room, kitchenette and perhaps a reception room might also be included in the general floor plans of the structure.

The proposed project appealed to A. Russell Croft, new alumni president, and under his direction a sample survey was conducted among the alumni membership, now numbering over 6500. Results of the poll were overwhelmingly in favor of the construction of an alumni house after the war, with funds for its financing being secured now by sponsoring a drive for funds during the

remainder of 1943-44. More than 90 per cent of the alumni replying to the questionnaire favored the project. It was suggested by many that individual contributions might be made in the form of war bonds, since any cash collections would probably be invested in bonds an yhow .

The Alumni Executive Committee felt that the result of this survey, plus personal contacts which had been made by the Executive Secretary and others, justified them in going ahead with the proposal. As a result, E. T. Ralphs, a graduate of 1911, now living in Logan, was chosen to direct the fund drive. Mr. Ralphs is the former manager of the Beneficial Life Insurance Company in Salt Lake City, a successful business man in his own right, with a host of Aggie friends and acquaintances throughout Utah and neighboring states. He will name his own committee and begin work in October for the active solicitation for funds.

With the hearty approval of President E . G. Peterson, a committee composed of Dean George Dewey Clyde, '21, R. E. Berntson, ex'21 , President Croft, Mr. Ralphs, and the Alumni Secretary,

selected as a site for the Alumni House a plot of ground just east of the Commons Bui lding and south of the new Women's Dormitory, subject to the approval of the USAC Board of Trustees. The area is triangular in shape, overlooks the canyon below, and offers one of the most beautiful building spots in Cache County. From this spot, one can view a panorama of beauty extending from Logan Canyon on the east to the Wellsvill e mountains bordering Cache Valley on the west.

Definite contribution quotas are being worked out by Chairman Ralphs and will be announced in a special project bulletin in October. At that time, a more complete and comprehensive announcement and description of the project will be made in the form of a building brochure. In the meantime, Alumni are urged to give some thought to the various features which they think their new campus home should have. Letters and suggestions should be directed to the Alumni Office and will be given careful consideration. Remember the building is being planned primarily for you, for your use and hospitality while on the campus. We want a place in which you will feel welcome and at home.

Sicily July 24, 1943 Dear Secretary: It's been some time since I wrote to you, so maybe I'd better ~et busy. I have received the Alumni Quarterlies you have sent and really enJOY reading them. Today is the first time for two weeks that I've had t "me for writing as we've really been going.

The invasion of Sicily was no doubt big news back home. In our particular section we have been very successful, advancing more rapidly than one would think possible.

To start with, I was in the first wave again *, landing in southern Sicily at 3:30 a.m. July 10. It was much tougher than the landing in North Africa and more exciting. When we were in our small boats (holding 35 men plus boat crew) heading toward the beach, several searchlights were staring, or glaring, at us from the beach. We knew the enemy had spotted us and knew something was up. I believe every man in my boat was uttering a prayer. All were deadly silent, every heart was pounding, and every man will admit he was scared. A person is so defenseless out at sea in one of those boats, there just isn't much you can do to relieve the tension out there.

When we neared the beach, enemy machine guns opened up and bullets were cracking over our heads. I had the cockswain swing to the left to avoid going straight into an enemy position. The boat got well upon the beach, the ramp in front went down, and the boat was emptied all in a matter of seconds.

Every man left the boat on the run and we really went in fast. We had trained hard, especially for this, and every man knew what he had to do and did it.

It felt good to have land under our feet, and now that we could move and do something, all fear left us and we went about our job. We hit wire just off the beach, so cut and blew holes through that. Machine guns were chattering away and bullets zinging by. We soon knocked out the defenses and reduced pillboxes (concrete machine gun positions). Light artillery shells were dropping among us and several fires were started. We moved in fast, swung along the beach and soon had it cleared. The ones landing shortly behind us didn't have to fire a shot on the beach.

The Italians feel well toward the Americans and surrender quite easily.

We took lots of prisoners. To date our company has taken between 2500 and 3000 prisoners.

On the landing, one of my men had a machine gun bullet go completely through the top of his helmet, but he didn't get scratched. Boy, we've really had Mme exciting moments, but we have been exceptionally fortunate.

One day our company was the point in lead of the regiment, and we advanced 40 to 50 miles, taking 1900 prisoners. We hiked and hiked, and hiked some more, sometimes going eighteen hours a day, rest a few hours, and go again. Every man had sore feet and was dog tired. We haven't had our bed rolls yet, so sleep on the ground with our clothes on. Sicily is a very interesting place. It is very hilly and mountainous where I've been and the roads wind round and round. Small towns are scattered here and there. They are very old and desolate looking, having very few new buildings and no trees or grass.

The people are very happy to see the Americans. It gives one a very peculiar feeling to be with the first Americans to go through a town and the people line the streets cheering and clapping, many who have sons, brothers, husbands in the Italian army.

Sicily is quite productive, growing lots of grain and fruits. We're anxiously waiting for some of the fruit to get ripe to supplement our "canned stuff." The weather is quite agreeable, being very hot in the daytime, but really cool at night.

I still haven't seen any other ex-Aggies over this way, but always look for them. When I get back, I'll be able to tell you a lot of the details and sidelights which time or space will not permit. Still hoping it won't be too long before getting back, either. Always appreciate hearing from you.

As always, Lt. Don S. Gibson, '39 P . S. By the way, the Marines, Rangers, or Commandos have nothing over on us. *Don was in the first wave of U. S. forces landing on North Africa, November 10, 1942.

Capt. Joseph W. Geddes, pilot of a bomber with the U. S. army air forces, was reported by the War Department as missing in action since May 21 in the southwest Pacific war theater.

Captain Geddes was pilot of a Liberator bomber and also was serving as technical inspector with his bomber unit. He left the United States in April for an assignment in the northern Australian area. Mrs. Geddes is the former Barbara Nelson, ex-Aggie.

Dear Secretary, For the past four months I have been working in the small neutral country of Iran. My work takes me all up and down the country on its rough roads, giving me the opportunity to become fairly well acquainted with it.

How the natives stay alive, I don't know. They are poorly fed, they are dressed in rags, and continually are scratching. A daily practice with them is sitting in the sun picking lice off their clothes. It is their belief that once a piece of clothing is placed on them, it never comes off until it falls or rots off.

The country of Iran is now in its harvesting season. Natives can be seen in the fields, with their sickles, cutting the grain and tieing it in bundles. Burros are continually coming into the villages from the fields heavily burdened with loads of grain, clover, alfalfa, Russian thistle, and weeds. The grain is placed in large piles where it is threshed by the tramping of feet of cows, horses, and burros after which the straw and chaff are thrown to the four winds, leaving the grain clean and ready for use. The alfalfa, clover, Russian thistle, and weeds are stored away for the winter feed.

In crossing the valleys of the Caucus mountains, one sees field after field of vineyards from which the famous wines of Persia are made. During the month of May, a beautiful sight meets the traveler as he rolls by the numerous fields of white poppies in full bloom. Now, the pods are being gathered from which the seeds will be extracted and used in producing opium, a drug that is generously used in this country.

Other products of the land that I have noticed are potatoes, beans, tomatoes, onions, rice, dates, melons, spinach, cherries, and probably many others.

The fruit trees have not yet yielded. These products are for the inhabitants only. All of the food for the American forces, here, comes from the can, and that food gets mighty tiresome.

In the way of livestock, large herds of ~oats can always be seen feeding in the plains or on the hillside, sheep are qmte abundant, and some cattle are raised. Oxen are used for work, camels are used for caravans to cross the mountains and desert. Native carts are pulled by horses, and the bulk of the packing is done by the burros. All their animals are poorly fed and over-worked.

They really look worn out, too.

My correspondence with the school should have been more prompt and frequent, but letter writing seems to be a difficult task here.

If you find time to answer this letter, I would surely like to have some of the news from the College and to know the whereabouts of my fellow officers of the Class of '42. ·· Yours truly, Denton S. Richards, '42 2nd Lt., Signal Corps ser, the ship builder; Beryl Hansen and Elise Stillman, ex-Aggies; Bertha Monson Hunsaker, '42, and Betty Jean Fonnesbeck Otterstrum, '40.

Chris T. Axelgard, on convoy duty in the war zone, has been promoted to the rank of 1st lieutenant.

David C. Bacon, serving with a military police unit, has been assigned to guarding prisoners of war. He recently returned from North Africa on a ship containing German prisoners. He r eports that the morale of the Germans is high and many of them still are confident that they will win the war. Propaganda reports led many to believe that eastern coast cities of the United S tates had been bombed and were under domination of Axis powers and that the Japanese had control of the west coast. Many of the men were curious as t o how the convoy got across the Atlantic without the permission of Hitler, since it was believed that Germany controlled all traffic on the ocean . Many of the prison ers were crack Ger man troopers and had served in Greece and on the Russian front.
