Show Volume 36, No. 17 Kanab, Utah WILL TREES GROW AGAIN? Dept. Of Housing And In a meeting held last weekend, representatives of Kanab City, the Council, and the two Kanab L.D.S. Wards favored replanting decorative trees along the church property on Center street. Wallace Stephenson, District Engineer of the State Road Commission, was contacted and it was reported that he said the state encourages planting this type of tree along the states highways. He was not in attendance at the meeting, but did write a letter to the city explaining this opinion. He also stated that the state would gladly redesign their lighting placements to allow for the planting of such trees. And so it looks as though trees will be planted in this area again, to beautify the area, and to eventually add desireable shade on hot summer days. And so, as one citizen said, we hope that the little person who cut the trees down last time, will leave the little trees alone. We also hope that when the trees get big, that person will be big enough to leave the where they are uncut. Urban Development Approve Funds for Kane Sen. WASHINGTON, D C. anE.

Also it shows strength in togetherness, and their work together with the fine cooperation from local people is a feather in our hat, and will be even more when the franchise sought after is awarded. The Southern Utah News commends all these people for their public spiritedness and their untiring efforts in the direction of promoting this area. Only trouble with the first days hearings was that the editor of the SUNews was not called to testify until the Commission was ready' to recess for the night, and he didnt get to say all the things he wanted to. (Probably wisdom on the part of those calling witnesses.) One person at the hearing to be envied least of all Clair Johnson, court reporter, who has to take all the conversation down in short hand. He was a real busybody. At any rate the hearing for the travel franchise looks good, and its largely because of the broad support received locally. Heard a man from the big city" say recently, when commenting about smad towns, like ours in this area: You sure don't have much here, do you? The answer was, No, we don't have much here. We don't have any floods, we dont have any tornados, we dont have any tidal waves, no hurricanes, we don't have any racial dem. onstrations, and no traffic No, we don't have much here! tie-up- Was talking with a former resident on the 4th of Julv. She said how much she enjoyed the SUNews, and that as soon as her family got settled in their new home, they were going to subscribe to the pape r. We think that great! How ever, why don't you home folks beat them to the draw and take out a subscription for them. Those away from home really enjoy it. (That's a paid advertisement!!!) protesting witnesses were Mis.

And with the three above mentioned gentlemen doing the phoning and leg work under her direction has given a good example of what g .ou Kanab Development Corporation Hearing Being Conducted Here be on time. Scott Heaton, Lynn McAllister, Oh, wo is me! Tuesday morning I awakened early (altout 3:30). I lay there excitedly anticipating the loud blasts that would jolt me into complete and sudden wakefullness. Tile blasts never came! Imagine my disappointment later (about 10 a. m. still in bed joke, joke) when I was finally convinced that those traditional blasts were not going to sound at all. I aksed myself, Is tradition dead? I recalled how as youngsters we used to get jolted out of bod about 5 in thp morning by these blasts, and iLon go on to enjoy a full day of fun. The Fourth of July this year, while featuiing several enjoyable events, was somwehat less auspicious than last year it seems. There could lie several reasons for this: apathy on the part of citizens, late notification, disorganization, or a number of others. But that is water under the bridge now. The hope is that another year our celebration will be bigger and better than ever. $4.00 Yearly, 10e Single Copy Page Ward Kanab North Ward Kanab South Ward Kanab Stake MIA officials urge the public to plan to attend the shows and be sure to Explorer Scouts Join In Project To Preserve History organization I!l!i7 (i.
