Ashby. U. P. Railroad President, and E, 0.-Plowmantee.Presl-dent, U. 8. Steel Corporation, while touring Utah this week, made this prediction: Utah has before ft an era of industrial progress, the like of which has never been known before In an Interior region of the United States. "Geneva is the nucleus for one of the greatest industrial developments devel-opments ever known in the ln-termountaln ln-termountaln region", Mr. Ash-by Ash-by declared. "We of the Union Pacific are aware of the possibilities possi-bilities and are prepared for them". Tire Shortage Cramps Tourists The impossibility of securing popular sized tires anywhere in the State of Utah is keepeing a number of would-be vacationers home and putting fear into the hearts of tourists whose rubber has practically melted off their wheels as they pound along at high speeds over the country's hot roads. A number of tourists have been forced to wire home towns for tires to continue their trips, and others have been forced to garage their cars - and return home via rail because of the tire shortage. The lack of tires is attributed to the fact that everyone who can turn a wheel is on the road and they have simply used up the available supply. Utah's roads along with others are be coming littered with blowout tire carcasses, and motorists limp to town on rims, vainly seeking, and willing to pay, for any" bid tire that will hold air.

Prices are down somewhat from a year ago, however, late strawberries continue to arrive at the big public market place on Salt Lake City's South West Temple and sell at $3.00 a case. Watermelons are going at 3c a pound, cantaloupes at from $1.00 to $200 a crate. Peaches are selling for from $1.00 to $2.50 per lug, and Bartlett pears at $3.50 per bushel. Peaches appear to be plentiful and are of a better than usual grade; Utah cantaloupes never had finer flavor. In the meantime, the U. S. De partment of Agriculture has stoutly denied Governor Herbert B. Maw's request for extra canning can-ning sugar for Utah housewives, "There is a world shortage of 7,-500.000 7,-500.000 tons of sugar", the De partment informed the Governor Would Employ Safety Analyst The State Road Safety Division has recommended that a safety analyst be employed to sift traffic traf-fic accident reports received by the State Tax Commission's Drivers Driv-ers License Division.- It is the opinion of Utah safety , experts that all records of accidents causing more than $25.00 worth of damage should be analyzed by an expert and the findings made available to local law en forcement bodies.
