Bob has been fashioning this model, cutting canyons, shaping plateaus, and outlining pinnacles. When the model is put on display in the Glen Canyon Visitor Center later this summer, Miller's hope is that the realism will be startling that people might say It looks exactly like a slice cut from the earth. Glen Canyon Visitor Center, which is now in the final stages of construction, is to be a joint operation of the Bureau of and the National Park Service. The building is located just downstream from Glen Canyon Dam on the rim of the canyon.

Siftin' 'n Observin' We would like to draw your attention ihis week to two articles appearing in the SUNcws Not that cur paper is so large that it is haul to find an article, but we ihink they are especially good and want our readers to be aware of them. On page two is tie regular column, About Town, by Forcae Green. Mr. Green has touched on a subject this week which we have been trying to put over for a year, however, he with his great command of words and writing, has put the subject so much better, that we sincerely hope everyone will read it and heed the advice contained therein. Another interesting article is found on page three, writicn about the old Liberty Jail in Lib- erty, Mo. The first part of April this year we were in Idaho to the wedding of my wifes brother. After the ceremony in the beautiful Idaho Falls Temple, we enjoyed a family dinner at Rigby. During tr.e dinner we chatted with George Johnson, broths i of the bride, and his wife Eloise, who are caretakers of the Liberty Jail. As we talked we discussed their work at the jail and came to an agreement that they would send us a story and pictures about the historic spot. The story on page three is the result of this meeting. We think the story is highly interesting and invite our readers to enjoy it. This week Whit Parry, prominent Kanan businessman was laid to rest. Although we were not intimately acquainted with Whit we would like to pay tribute to his memory for the many things he did for the betterment of business i t this area. A y . . . . Very seldom do you find a man who makes everyone happy all the time, and probably Whit was no exception, but no one can deny that he built one of the best, most successful business in the entire area in his lodge and restaurant. And on top of this he accomplished barrels of good for the area in promoting the movie industry here. I recall as a youngster picking corn, tomatoes and peppers, and cucumbers from my father's garden and selling the produce to the Parry Lodge, so I know for a surety that they served the very best food available. We feel sorrow for the long and painful illness which he suffered prior to death, and we also express gratitude for the good things he has done for this area. Last week workers joined to plant grass in the area in front of the church between the sidewalk and the gutter. We hope this will become beautiful grass and stay that way. After the incident with the trees, we wonder if someone will put on their big boots and march up and down the area when its wet in order to trample out out the grass! (Just kidding, of course.) It is our understanding that the state has been contacted about the tree situation, and that they say they have jurisdiction over this area, and further, that they are ail for having beautiful trees line our sta.e highways. In this connection local church, city, and state officials are planning to meet and decide if the trees should be planted again. We feel that all people snould abide by their decision. As far as this corner is concerned, we hope the trees will be planted again. We can remember what a haven the old elm trees were to tourists and the rest ol us on a hot summer day. Caleb Whitney (WhiU Patty, S3, prominent Kanab businessman for many years, and builder of the movie business here, died Friday morning in the Kano County Hospital, after a long illness. Whit came to Kanab at the age of 13 to drive a sightseeing inis for his family, who then operated the Parry Stage Lines. In the late 1920s, he and his brothers, Chauncey and Gronway, bought property and in 1930 converted an adobe home on the corner of Center and First East Streets into what became the widely-knowParry Lodge. They also guided tours through Zicr., Bryce and Grand Canyon national parks. The brothers prepared a portfolio of pictures of southern Utah and in 1934 traveled to Holly wood hoping to convince producers of the area's scenic value. They succeeded. Chauncey died in an automobile accident in 1943. The same year, Whitney bought Gronways interest in the logde. In Cne years since the lodge has gained almost worldwide recognition.
