President Joseph Fielding Smith: (9)

We would like to express our appreciation to the following who have furnished the singing for this Conference:

The Tabernacle Choir, for their excellent singing on the Saturday morning and Sunday morning broadcast sessions, and again this afternoon; and the men of the Tabernacle Choir for furnishing the music for the Saturday evening Priesthood meeting.

The Oahu Stake Samoan Choir from Hawaii, who furnished the music for the sessions on Friday.

The Relief Society Singing Mothers from the Northwest Region, who furnished the music for the Saturday afternoon session.

We also express thanks and deep appreciation to the conductors and organists.

President McKay wishes me to express his deep appreciation to all who have in any way contributed to the success and inspiration of this great Conference.

He is especially grateful to his beloved associates, the General Authorities, who have delivered such timely and inspirational messages.

We appreciate the careful and efficient attention given by local and national press representatives, and by representatives of radio and television in reporting the sessions of this Conference.

We deeply appreciate the cooperation of City officials, the City traffic officers for handling carefully and ably the increased traffic; the Fire Department and Red Cross, who have been on hand to render assistance and service whenever it was needed.

We thank the Tabernacle ushers for their courtesy and consideration in seating the great audiences of these Conference sessions.

As heretofore mentioned, we are most grateful to the owners and managers of the many radio and television stations throughout the nation and our own city, who have carried the sessions of this Conference from coast to coast, to Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada; and by short wave to listeners in many parts of the world.

Through the extensive radio and television coverage of this Semi-Annual Conference, millions have been able to participate in the Conference.

We express again our gratitude and thanks for these beautiful flowers, arranged on the rostrum by our Church gardeners. The antheriums were sent to us by the Oahu (Hawaii) Stake.

Tonight, the Deseret Sunday School Union conference will convene in this building at 7 o'clock. All Sunday School workers will wish to be in attendance. The public is cordially invited.

It is understood that ward sacrament meetings will be held where practicable, this evening in the various wards.

Just a reminder again about driving in the city and on the highways. Please obey traffic rules. Good manners, patience and alertness are necessary if we are to reduce the number of automobile accidents.

The Tabernacle Choir will now favor us with the hymn, "Sing We Now at Parting," conducted by Brother Condie.

The benediction will be offered by Elder Morgan S. Coombs, formerly President of the Australian Mission, after which this Conference will stand adjourned for six months.

Before reading that, I think I ought to have said something that I didn't,-that is, ask these good brethren of the Presidency if they have anything they want to add. If not, very well.

This conference then will be adjourned for six months.

Singing: "Sing We Now At Parting."

Benediction: Morgan S. Coombs, formerly President of the Australian Mission.
