Five-Count- From Salt Lake Tribune . CEDAR CITY Southern Utah now takes another step forward, economically, when a $400,000 manufacturing plant at Cedar City, began operations January 4. The erection of a concrete and steel building, of, "tile up construction- - was begun in August, and completed in December by the contractor R. C. , Johnson Company of Las Vegas. The building was financed by the Iron County Development Corporation, which raised $83,-00and the Small Business Administration, which loaned $320,-00for its construction. Both the building and four- teen end three quarters acres of land on which it stands have been purchased by the manufacturer the Canvas Specialty Manufacturing Company of Los Angeles. The firm Is the nation's Sixth largest manufacturer of tents, sleeping bags, life jackets, boat cushions and other canvas goods. Approximately Sixty women hve been training for work in the plant, under the auspices of the College of Southern Utah and the Utah State Department of Employment Security. The plant, initially, will have about one hundred employees, althouqh this number could double within a period of one or two years. The plant manager will be Ray Pedego, Los Angeles, ' a long time member of the firm. Milt Jolley, executive secretary of the Cedar City Chamber of Commerce and secretary of the Iron County Industrial committee, said that no opening ceremony was planned, but than an pen house would probably be held at a later date.

Powell Fishing Pact between the fish and game departments of Arizona and Utah , over. fishing privileges' in Lakh Powell points up among other things the. need for providing access foads from'the Utah side to the gigantic reclamation reservoir. An agreement between the neighboring states regarding fishing in the federally administered reservoir expired New Years Day. Efforts to negotiate a new compact have failed and no compromise Is in sight. Under the expiring agreement, Arizona fishermen were pctmtred to rove at will on the Utah side of the reservoir by attaching a $2 Utah stamp to their .Arizona fishirg licenses Utahns fished on the Arizona side without extra charge, merely having their Utah fishing license. Sonrre of III Will 'I Without an interstate agreement fishermen from both states will have to stay on their respective sides of the boundary license of the line or pay the other state. The boundary is not clearly dt fired. . te Arizona charges $15 annually for nonresident anglers, and the Utah fee is $10. Thus a tourist from another state, uncertain about the boundary, might feel the necessity of spending $25 in nonresident license fees. This could result in bad feeling. Utah has been willing to renew tlfe old pact but Arizona reportedly is adamant on a stamp for everjbodv" do. mand. The Utah board oppo.es' this because more than 90 per cent of Lake Powell fishing waters are in Utah. The immediate d"jr.t:on compile cted by the fact that the present temporary boat launrhing facilities, in W'ahweap Canyon, just inside Utah, are reached by crossing several miles of Arizona water. te Marinas Inil No Roads The National Park Service, whirh adr ra ministers Lake Fowl'll National tion Ana, has plans under way for marinas and other mimes on both sides of the state line (ointract was recently let fur a $t60,0'K) facility in the Buillrog area on the Utah side), but Utah has fa.led to provide aceess roads to the rec-- i Continued-opage 2) Here's one view of the Brian Head SW line that win add so much to Southern Utah and help fill the need for winter recreation in the area.
