He announced that the Tax Cut is now a fact and that people will imediatily feel the effects because less mony will be withheld from their pay checks. He stated, he is confident the Dixie Project will be passed soon (within a few weeks). Among other interesting items he explained was why the wheat sale to the U.S.S.R. was good for the United States, not only in finding a market for our surplus wheat, but also, cutting costs of storage and increasing our gold resserve. He also pointed out that Russia would have bought g the wheat elsewhere without the great ablitty of the American agricultureal system.- Senator Moss' drove to Kanab -from St. George Wednesday pub-licin- (Continued on Page 3) In recognition of the increasing importance of Jland use conservation and of tourism in Southern Utah and to stimulate the interest of high school students in these fields, the Natural History Association of Bryce Canyon National Park will sponsor an Essay Contest for the high school students of Kane and Garfield Counties, Superintendent Louis W.

One road has been completed by San Juan County, but construction of another road from Kane County through National Park Service land has been blocked. One of the basic reasons for the support of 5 construction is that it will lead directly to the Bull Frog boat and landing ramps. These are currently under construction and should be finished later this year. It is advisable to launch boats from Bull Frog because gasoline for boats will be available at that location. Other spots "up the lake," Mr. Oviatt said, "also would have gasoline available." The eight-count- y organization is also seeking to discover "why Arizona interests are. so far ahead of Utahs in this matter of accessibility to the Lake Powell region." Mr. Oviatt said he would per sonally attempt to determine' what efforts have been made by U-9- U-9- Utah's congressional delegation in regard to this matter. Development of the area cn the Utah side will not begin until 1967. The organization will hold an--' other meeting within 3D days at Green River. |
