WARNED TO FILE EARLY Addressed to "Spotlighting Utah," in care of the Utah department of publicity and industrial development, Gerald Curtis, AMM 2c, stationed at Jacksonville, Fla., and whose home is in Delta, writes: "As a service man and Utahn who expects to derive my livelihood from Utah, I am naturally interested in your articles, "Spotlighting Utah," which are distributed throughout the state. This is a very great service and at this time I wish to express my appreciation for the column and your efforts to make the state a better place in which to live. "I believe you would be glad to welcome any suggestion to help put Utah on the map and to attract tourist dollasr. I am an avid sportsman and read almost every publication on the subject. Now if the sportsmen of Utah would spend a ilttle time along with the sportsmen from other states, and brag about 'the big one they deer they got at Cedar,' and tell got at Fish lake.' or that it to the fishing and hunting magazine editors along with pictures, they could help Utah a great deal. The magazines are simply begging for such articles. I've seen articles from other states but very few from Utah. We have just as many big deer and elk as other states, but unless we tell the world about them, sportsmen from other states will not include Utah in their vacation plans. "One of the biggest thrills I've experienced while in the navy was a story told me by a marine private from New York, who mentioned that he would like to move to Utah. He said he liked the friendly manner of the people. He said he was riding on a bus from Los Angeles to Salt Lake. Coming into Provo, the bus stopped a few minutes and a farmer opened the door and shoved a bushel basket of peaches down through the aisle. When the marine offered to pay, the farmer, greatly astonished, said: 'Why, you ore in Utah and you folks are our guests. We couldn't accept a dime from you. These are compliments from the people of Utah,' and with that he left the greatly astonished passengers. Needless to say this act made a favorable impression on the marine as well as the entire load of bus passengers. "TTiis story is just another angle for publicity. Keep up the good work; I'm rooting for you."

O. Larson, Region 4 director. Mr. Larson outlined the 1946 construction program for his region as follows: "Provo River A supplemental appropriation of $860,000 together with $2,000,000 made available last July will be sufficient to step up construction on Utah's largest reclamation project. "Work can go forward on completion of the Salt Lake aqueduct in Provo canyon, namely, 5.5 miles immediately below Deer creek to connect with the pipe line recently finished. The 4.5 miles of steel pipe on which bids were recently opened can be installed at four high pressure points in the concrete aqueduct. There will then remain only 7.5 miles of the entire aqueduct for construction in 1947. "Enlargement of the Provo reservoir canal will be accelerated, including rehabilitation of canals on the east side of the Jordan river. "We plan also to call for bids and award contract for resump tion of work early this summer on the Duchesne tunnel, which was about excavated when discontinued late in 1942 because of the war. "Newton and Scofield The canal system on the Newton project and the dam on Scofield project are planned for completion by June or July. "Ogden River During late summer a small amount of work can be accomplished on the Ogden river project, including completion of small reservoirs on the South Ogden and canals." Senator Abe Murdock, who in the interests of northern Utah recently inspected the facilities of Bushnell General hosnital at Brigham City, showed the deepest concern over the fate of th big $12,000,000 army reservation which is slated to be abandoned by the army about June 30. He declared he was against the shelving institution unless it could be definitely shown it is not adequate as a veterans' hospital following army evacuation. "If thorough investigation proves the hospital adequate for veteran hospital operation, I shall fight to prevent its abandonment," he said. Beware the March 15 deadline and file your state income tax early, the Utah state tax commission urges. All persons who, if single, made more than $(300. or if married, made more than $1200 are required to file a return. Veterans are not exempt from paying state income tax. Although the 1945 legislature exempts from state income tax all military pay received since 1941, veterans and service nun are still liable for taxes on income.
