THE FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events; October 1934: "Brother John Watson has been relieved from his duties in the bakery after a long period of faithful service. However, he continues to help Brother Franklin Jacke in the store. Sister Carrie Peterson now has charge of the bakery, and she's giving us some excellent whole wheat bread made from grain which is ground in our own small grist mill. Sister Carrie is proving to be a most useful and likeable addition to our community life."

THE FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by L. W. Bubbett; December 1934: "We have lost another good baker in this person of Sister Carrie Peterson--as well as a likeable personality. But she did bake good bread! The Peterson family, Mr. and Mrs. Peterson and son Dale, have moved to Fort Myers. We regret that circumstances necessitated the move, for the Institution sadly needs able workers."

THE FLAMING SWORD; Community Current Events by Alafae Stephens; May 1934: "Dale Peterson, the young member from Utah, made a hero of himself by rescuing little two-year-old Freddie Douglas from drowning. The incident occurred on the afternoon of the thirtieth when Freddie was playing with some older children on the bridge spanning the Estero River. The child lost his balance and fell through the railing of the bridge into the deepest part of the channel. Attracted by the cries of the other children, Dale dove into the river, fully clad, and brought the gasping Freddie safely ashore. He then removed the water from the child's lungs by a method learned as a Boy Scout. Freddie was very wet and thoroughly frightened, but otherwise unharmed. He is a child of Mr. Harvey Douglas, a grove foreman in Estero. The little fellow was not meant to quit this life just yet, and Dale's prompt action saved the day and the small boy."
