On several occasions Days of '47 honored President Carter for "Great Contributions to Her Fellow Citizens." ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HONORS December 12, 1945, when Herbert B. Maw, governor of Utah, received an urgent request to participate in a national pro¬gram to conduct a victory clothing collection for overseas relief, he enlisted the aid of a prestigious and capable committee to carry through the assignment. Kate B. Carter was one of the members of this committee. Upon completion of the program, Utah had doubled its quota of one garment per capita. During the first World War Mrs. Carter had served as chair¬man of the Red Cross in Spanish Fork, Utah, but it was during the second World War that she became an energetic worker. Both of her sons, her son-in-law and one daughter-in-law were in the armed services. Mrs. Carter was one of the committee of seven named by Governor Maw to the state division of the Na¬tional War Salvage Board. This committee was on the state ad¬visory group of Minute Women. In this capacity she traveled throughout the state organizing the women in the Daughters of Utah Pioneers' camps and counties, over which she was then president, into groups to participate in salvaging needed war materials. For this work she received a personal certificate of recognition from the War Production Board in 1942-1943. In 1945 she received an award of merit for work as a Minute Woman and also an award as a member of the Bushnell Recrea¬tional Fund Committee and a special citation and medal from the National War Salvage Board. Mr. J. C. Krug, chairman of the War Production Board of the United States of America issued the following citation to her: "In acknowledgement of meritorious services rendered in behalf of the National War Salvage Program. Given under my hand this 30th day of September 1945." "For distinguished service in the cause of making Americans better aware of their local history," Mrs. Kate B. Carter received an award of merit September 26, 1955, from the American As¬sociation for State and Local History which met in historic Wil¬liamsburg, Virginia. Mrs. Carter was honored for her twenty- five-year association with the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and for her editorship of the twelve-volume history Heart Throbs of the West, which has served as basic source material for much research work on Utah history. The honor was also given be¬cause of her work as president of the Days of '47 celebration in Utah and because she has done more to encourage, preserve and develop interest in local history than any person in the Inter- mountain area and possibly in the entire nation. In 1953 the Soroptomists Club presented Mrs. Carter's name for the Mary Margaret McBride Award, sponsored by the Na¬tional Broadcasting Association. This award gave national rec¬ognition to six women for outstanding leadership and achieve¬ment. Six dramatic stories of what a determined woman can do to make her community a better place in which to live were told to American Broadcasting Company's Mary Margaret McBride when the first lady of radio interviewed the winners of the first annual Mary Margaret McBride project. The six women who told of their experiences had been selected from among hun¬dreds of nominees representing four hundred cities in all parts of the United States. Kate B. Carter of Salt Lake City was selected to represent the West. This honor was given to her for preserving western history, and especially for the five-hundred-thousand-dollar building which, almost single-handed, she succeeded in having completed to house documents and relics of pioneer days. At a special Kate B. Carter Night presentation held at the Hotel Utah, September 23, 1953, President Carter was given rec¬ognition, the object of which was to impress upon women every¬where that they can contribute to the democratic way of life by working on a local level. At this time, the Soroptomist Club ex¬tolled President Carter who was selected from among candidates considered for their work in improving community conditions, bettering educational facilities, reducing race tensions and in general working for greater understanding. On January 27, 1953, seven Salt Lake women were named to the Salt Lake Council of Women's Hall of Fame for their out¬standing civic and community service over a period of years. Selections are made every five years by the presidents of par¬ticipating civic clubs in the Council. Among those honored was Kate B. Carter. She was recognized for her valuable contribution to Utah's history through publication of Heart Throbs of the West. In these volumes pioneer histories and major events in Utah are compiled. In 1955 she was awarded the Falcon of Iceland with a cita¬tion. She was the only woman in the United States to hold this honor. It was given to her because of her history of the Scandin¬avian people who came to Utah and was presented to her on the occasion of their centennial celebration June 17, 1955. "High honors were given to two people at the concluding event of the Icelandic Centennial Celebration. John Y. Bearnson of Springville, the president of the Icelandic Association, and his sister, Kate B. Carter of Salt Lake City, president of the Daugh¬ters of Utah Pioneers, each received the Order of the Falcon from Peter Eggerz. This award is one of the highest given by the Ice-
