Civic Clubs Meet At Panguitch To Hear Reports The monthly meeting of the As-sociated Civic Clubs of Southern and Eastern Utah was held at Pan guitch, Saturday, August 25th, in the North Ward Chapel building. At the afternoon meeting, May-or William Bruhn welcomed the guests. He reviewed the tremend-ous increase in tourist travel to the Bryce and Zion National Parks since 1920, when 11,000 persons vis-ited the parks, comparied with 19-5- 0 when the number of visitors reached 1,093,999 and. the 1951 travel indicates an even larger figure. He warmly endorsed the Civic Clubs idea of the proposed new folder in color, advertising the scenic attractions in the 18 coun-ty area. Paul Ashworth, Richfield, chair-man of the legislative committee, presented a resolution calling for reorganization of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, which was adopted. State Representative John John-son of Tropic spoke of some projects, and called for the building of a road in the bottom of Bryce Canyon, stating that the real attraction was there, rather than the rim of the canyon, as the really scenic attractions cannot be seen from the rim. Field secretaries T. W. Jensen and Walter Lunt'reported on the scenic folder campaign. They had visited 15 of the 18 counties, the folder idea was well recived and finanical support was promised. Mr. Jensen spoke on highway matters, said the State Road Com-mission has plan's to advertise for bids to complete the Clear Creek-Cov- e Fort, road, and that he had been advised by Rep. Walter Gran-ger that the Hanksville-Blandin- g road and the n Hat road would be placed under con-struction by the Atomic Energy Commission. Heber Sevy, chairman of the committee on Agriculture and Livestock spoke on crops and livestock prospects in the area, and on the noxious weed, Halo-gete-which is spreading. He said 170 men had been taken afield and shown how to identify the weed. He introduced the guests, Dr. Daryl Chase, director of the BAC, David Gates and Eddie Peterson of the BAC staff, Mrs. Kumen L. Jones, and Miss Iris Thorpe. Miss Thorpe who has been employed as a tea-cher in the American zone of oc-cupation, gave a very interesting review of her experiences in Ger-many and of. her travels in other European countries. She said the German attitude is becoming more friendly as they realize the bene-fits of the American school pro-gram and it's effect on their young people. At the evening banquet Dr. Chase was the guest speaker. He deplor-ed the jealousy and quarrelling among groups, communities and states, said the growing disunity in in the American family is the worst danger spot on the horizon, and called for a unity of thought and action in the things that real-ly matter.
