democratic way of life by work in her
own community.
In 1955 Mrs. Carter was awarded the
Icelandic Order of the Falcon with a
citation given to her because of her
history of the Scandinavian people who
came to Utah. The award was present-
ed to her on the occasion of the Cen-
tennial Celebration held June 17, 1955.
In August, 1955, the American As-
sociation for State and Local History
awarded Mrs. Carter a Certificate of
Merit for distinctive contributions to
history.
On May 7, 1960, she was elected to
an honorary life membership in the
Utah State Historical Society for dis-
inguished service to Utah. She was the
only woman, with five men, to receive
this honor.
This resume of Mrs. Carter’s activ-
ities does not cover in full the many
projects concerning the preservation
of history and landmarks with which
she is so deeply concerned. She is a
dedicated woman, believing firmly
that the pioneer history of Utah and
its people must not be forgotten, but
made to live in the hearts of their
descendants, their children and their
children’s children. May her work go
on for many years is the wish of all
who are in any way associated with her
and her work. Mrs. Carter is still pres-
ident of the Daughters of Utah
Pioneers and co-president of the Days
of ’47, 1964.

For the Peace and Plenty which we enjoy in our land,
let us sing out.
The state of Peace which pervades Canada is a
condition which justifies a contented mind.
The abundance with which Canada is blessed results
from the skill and energy of her people.
Peace and Plenty are only possible when men of
goodwill bend their hearts and minds to the
task. In a country so richly endowed as Canada
this is a constant challenge and it should be our
immovable goal.
