Verl F. Scott called to YMMIA Superintendency
Up through the ranks of the priesthood and other Church activities has come Verl F. Scott who was sustained June 9, as second assistant general superintendent of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association of the Church.
Born in Hinckley, Utah, the son of Frank A. and Ruby Palmer Scott, he grew up in Murray, Utah.
His university training was interrupted in December 1940, to accept a call to the Western States Mission. During his mission he spent ten months as mission secretary to President Elbert R. Curtis. Later he was district president at Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
Four months after being released, he was called into military service, April 1943. After training in California, Oklahoma, and Georgia he saw service in the Philippines, and at war's end served with the occupation troops in Japan. His assignments took him to the G-4 Section of GHQAFPAC-which was General MacArthur's headquarters in Tokyo. All along the way he participated in LDS servicemen's activities. He is now a member of the Utah National Guard, currently holding the rank of major.
He married Arline Martindale in the Salt Lake Temple February 14, 1946. Shortly thereafter he was released from the service and went on to complete his college work.
In 1948 he became advertising director of The Improvement Era and served as acting business manager from 1954 to 1956 when he succeeded the late John D. Giles as business manager.
In the Church he has served variously in the Mutual Improvement Association and Sunday School on the ward and stake level. He was a member of the YMMIA general board a short time before General Superintendent George Q. Morris was released.
In 1948 he became assistant stake clerk of the East Mill Creek Stake in the Salt Lake City area, and in 1950 he became a member of the high council. He was sustained as bishop of the Highland View Ward, East Mill Creek Stake, June 28, 1953. The ward was engrossed in a building program, and the building was dedicated June 24, 1956. Four months later, October 28, 1956, he was sustained president of the newly created Canyon Rim Stake. Two buildings have been dedicated in that stake since that time, and a large stake ranch has been purchased and put into operation as a welfare project. Canyon Rim Stake has been consistently high among the stakes in the Church's activity reports.
The Scotts have six daughters and one son.
The Improvement Era joins the Church in welcoming Elder Scott to his appointment as Second Assistant General Superintendent of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association.
