Peterson. Forest Service visitor center trailer was moved to the Harrington School for several days last week for benefit of Fifth and Sixth Grade students and their teachers. Students Learn of Uinta Forests Through Visit to Interesting Exhibits If you were a student would you rather learn history through ading about the fascinating past or would you ratner learn tne stories of, say, the pioneers by seeing an authentic percussion gun? The lucky youngsters In the fifth and sixth grades of Alpine School District are currently en joying a visit from the U. S. Forest Service visitor center trailer. The trailer Is full of interesting displays, which include in-clude pictures, charts and graphs to illustrate the stories told about Uinta National Forest. The exhib its are divided into four main groups: Scenic wonders of the Uinta National Forest. Geology of the area, Original Inhabitants of the Uinta National Forest, and the Multiple Uses of the national forests. The scenic section illustrates the changing seasons found in the Uinta Mountains and the beauty beau-ty of the varying times of the year. The Geology exhibit includes genuine fossils found in the moun tains. The display also details the earth sculpture, illustrating the uplift and folding, the horizontal faulting,, vertical faulting that makes the Wasatch range. Minerals Miner-als and ore specimens found in the nearby canyons are displayed for the enjoyment of the students. The Ute Indians are featured in the Original Inhabitants display, dis-play, with explorers and pioneers portrayed for their contribution in settling the high mountainous country. According to the display, American fur trappers arrived in our immediate area in 1825 searching for beaver. The lake they found was called "Lake of Timpanogos" and was later known as Lake Ashley, named for Wm. H. Ashley of the Rocky Mt Fur Company. It was given the present name of Utah Lake in 1826 by Jedidiah H. Smith. John C. Fremont visited the recion and like Escalante, was favorably impressed with its great poten tial. A genuine percussion gun is mounted in this section. The gun is similar to ones used by set tiers who arrived in Utah Valley in 1849 and constructed Fort Utah, which became Provo. In the following decades the Mormon Church started settlement in Utah Valley under the direction of George A. Smith. The multiple uses of wildlife. recreation, grazing, timber and watershed are detailed inapano rama of displays along one entire wall of the trailer. Here the students stu-dents learn that it takes 30 million gallons of water to supply the needs of Geneva Steel Company, alone. The recreation activities offered in our mountains include deer hunting, with the Uinta National Na-tional Forest the second in the nation in deer kill.
