12A THE OGDEN STANDARD EXAMINER OGDEN, UTAH, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1955 UTAH NEWS A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY McKay Plans First Swiss Temple Visit BERN, Switzerland (AP) David O. McKay, president of the LDS Church will make his first visit to the new Mormon temple at Zollikofen near Bern on Sept. 8, his 82nd birthday. Samuel E. Bringhurst, president of the new temple, said McKay planned to arrive at Basel or Zurich airport from Paris on Sept. 8 and would go at once to Zollikofen to look at the temple, which is to be inauguarted formally on Sept. 11. The president ordered us not to organize any birthday celebration, Bringhurst said. The president, who, with the advice of the apostles, governs the church, is a very retiring person. He does not like to have a fuss made about him. Bringhurst said McKay would be accompanied by his wife, Emma Rae, and their son, Dr. Edward McKay. They will be received at the airport by William F. Perschon, president of the Mormon Swiss Austrian mission with headquarters at Basel. All will take part in the opening ceremonies for the new temple, designed by Architect Edward O. Anderson of Salt Lake City. It will be the spiritual center of the more than 3,000 members our church now has in Switzerland, Bringhurst said. Only members of the church will be admitted to the opening ceremonies. The Latter day Saints Tabernacle Choir of Salt Lake City will sing at the ceremonies, and also is scheduled to give a public concert in Bern on Saturday.

Byron D. Jones, commission chairman, said the motorists, apparently prodded by a new crack down, exchanged out of state plates for Utah tags. The preceding week 597 owners decided the risk wasnt worth it and bought Utah plates. Jones said blockades will be set up all over the state to apprehend Utah residents who buy their plates in Idaho or other states to avoid paying Utah property tax.
