An Arizona highway commissioner criticized the Bureau of Reclamation for wanting the states to put up all the money for these access roads, rather than spending federal funds. low. As talk goes on and on, it becomes more certain day by day that a railroad is going to have to be built to the site of the new power dam, and already Utah Observers report that they cringed at the blunt way in which Arizona bombarded the commissioner. , Then the Utah delegation presented their case. They had no selfish desires. They had already opened a dirt road to the state line near the damsite, and now stood ready tq serve in any way they could to asslt the Reclamation Sendee or anyone else in t achieving their purposes with the least expense and efforts. The contrast left observers imArizona pressed. bungled its major opportunity to win friends and influence the people whose opinion counts the most. Utah, cordially and smoothly, won the friends, and probably will influence the same people to designate railheads and posslbily a townsite where the benefits will accure to them and their people.

Anyone acquainted' with the region- knows that the sensible route for a railroad line is from a point just east of Winslow almost directly to the Glen Canyon damsite, where no major bridges will be to be built and no rugged ridges or mountains would have to be crossed. It seems natural that Flagstaff would become the shipping point for much of the materials for the dam, but now it appears that U.S. Highway 89 north from Flagstaff would not be capable of bearing - the heavy loads of materials and equipment without almost complete rebuilding. would be If this be true, then less expensive and more convenient to build a highway from - ir Winslow. . The grades from Winslow would be easy grades no climbing of mountains, no deep snow in winter, no interference with normal highway traffic along the Arizona to Utah route. And the distance would actually be shorter than building to Flagstaff. There has been a puzzling lack of interest on the f part of the Santa Fe railroad about the possibility of a railroad line to the damsite, but Congressman Aldous Dixon of Utah is telling his constituents that a railroad is almost certain to be needed, and is suggesting it be build from the Utah side over the. rugged terrain that in early days baffled horses and wagon. north-sout- h .Page Three mid season and a late variety of sweet com at hte same time to spread harvest period.

What started as a job 32 years ago, has turned into a career at Kcnnccott Copper Corporation. And. two more follow-in- g generations of Charles H. Winns family are in his footsteps. His son, Charles E., joined the Kcnnecott family in 1951 when he started as a trackman at the mine. He is a dispatcher today. And his grandson, Kenneth W. Foster, started with Kennecott in 1950 as a trackman. He is now a payroll clerk. The "like father, like son history of the Winn well family is repeated so often at'Kchnccott it can IN 1924 be called a tradition. In all, 691 men at the mine, mills and refinery are the sons of Kennecott employees. And hundreds more are related in other as brothers, uncles, nephews, cousins and ways This family allegiance to Kennecott tells only a part of the story of careers in copper. Another chapter was unfolded recently, when Kennecott honored 206 employees who had completed 20 years of continuous service and 51 other employees who had completed 30 years of service. Of Kennecotts 6,500 employees, 1,019, or nearly have served 20 or more years, a total of more than 30,000 years! in-law- DCTILW t$ PRC0. CCRP lOUI?Jtlt, CRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS UOHE BUSINESS?
