FRAZIER'S ' SOUTHERN UTAH j TRIP PUBLICIZED I Big Midwestern Paper I I Features Findings In j I Supplement While the Salt Lake City cham-jb- ? of commerce worked this we?k on the $50,000 promotlon- -' al and development campaign to advertise Utah to tourists, Dr. Russell 0. Frazler, at present eudylng advance medicine at the T'njverslty of Louisville In Louls-v.Il- e, Kentucky, was responsible fori Utah receving some of the heA advertising possible for at- - .traction of tourists. The first two pages of the 'Y.Jely-rea- d St. Louis jh colored Sunday supplement of February 6 carried a story written by a special correspond-ent! concerning the weirdly beau-tiful Kaiparowits plateau, illus-trated with a few of the beautl-jfullcolor-pictures taken in the southern Utah wonderland by Dr. Frazler. "Dr. Fraaler's expeditions on the Colorado River, the San Juan and! the Salmon in Idaho have bee widely publicized by the Associated Press. His moving pictures of his expeditions have beei enjoyed by audiences over the i state and are the type to intrigue prospective tourstsi, be-ing :. of more , Interest than the beat advertising the cham-ber of commerce could distribute. The article accompanying Dr. Frazier's photograps in the Post-Dl:Tt-says in part: . "A mountain of fire, tracks of dinosaurs, an arid, mile-hig- h plateau once a manless tropical paradise Acres of petrified forest, great turtles turned to rock; thousands of gigantic fos-sil snails Miles of human hcn.es, side by side, blackened by the smoke of countless cook-- In?! fires Paintings old as J"' 1 A tiny, worn sandal ly- - fc where it fell before Christ i led in Galilee...., ...Time roll-- i back for millenla in the turn-- h.g of a stone, the sifting of a handful of dust. The story of a new wonder-land in the Southwest has been disclosed. " Dr. Frazler's concern for the marvels of this weirdly beautiful section of Utah is not in the commercial benefits which Utah could, reap from tourists, but Is centered In a movement to set aside the area as a national park to protect Its scientific wonders fromf the invasion of tourists. H apart of the expedition led by Dr. Frazler and William Fah- - :z.l last summer is being studied Washington by Frank A. Kit-rreug- e, regional director of the Jalional Park service.
