Show ROY DAYS OUTLINE FULL OF ACTIVITIES Roy, Utah, Thursday August 21, 1958 Vol. 5 No. 13 Highway Construction Promotes Utah of the state be stepped up with the construction and building of the new inter-stathighways and other not only under construcprojects tion but presently under advise ment by the state road commission, Ernest H. Blach, of the state road commission told members of the Roy Chamber of Commerce at their luncheon meeting held Wednesday at noon at Mas and Pas. According to Mr. Blach, $40 million will be used by the road commission this year to further their program and the same amount will be needed next year in order to bring the various projects nearer to completion. Utah has aparently come into a lions share of the funds allocated by the federal government because of its strategic defense position, especially Weber Canyon and Weber County which is the center of the activity. The Federal Bureau of Roads and the Defense Department have planned together to make the highway serve not only for interstate traffic, but to serve for evacuation purposes in event of an atomic attack. Three Utah projects which will be highly productive for the state, after completion besides having a tremendous influence on the economy of the state during construction, are the Glen Canyon Dam, Flaming Gorge and the old fields in San Juan County. Food and material from all over the state will be necessary to supply workers in these out of the way places where as yet there are few if any access roads to these areas. Speaking specifically of the incon r terstate highway struction. the speaker pointed out that on the six lane, divided high- way, there will be no stop lights, traffic signals, etc, on the entire from coast to coast and border to border. No business of any description will be allowed oil the right of way of the highway and it will not be possible to leave the lanes only at designated sections. Since the route from Farmington to the Hot Springs north of Ogden has become such a contraversal issue, not only among the cities involved but in the road commission itself, it has been necessary to call in help from the outside to consider the problem objectively. Their recommendations are yet to be received before a decision can bo arrived at as to which of three possible routes will be accepted, The new 31st Street highway will "The whole economy have a tremendous effect on the growth and economy of this area, Mr. Balch predicted, since it will be such an important link between the two largest cities in Weber County. It will ge a six lane construction with no stop lights until it joins onto Wall Ave. It will accommodate with speed, workers in Ogden who prefer living in Roy because of more space, lower taxes, etc., and will greatly enhance the area for newcomers who will be employed at Marquardt and the other growing industries west of Ogden. Housing and home building in Roy will of necessity take a great boost with the opening of that particular super highway. Construction is expected to be completed by Sept. 1, 1959. will e - sw . 1 ir The first shovel of dirt was removed in preparation of the new Chronic Disease Hospital soon to be constructed in Roy.

Brown. He further pointed out that considerable. time and money had been spent in trips to many parts of the nation to examine similar projects. "The new hospital will be the finest of its kind in the west, he said. The hospital will take the place infirmary after its completion in two years. of the old Elmer Carver, County Commissioner in charge of the welfare department was in charge of the proceeding. He expressed his appreciation for those who have helped with the six years of hard work and study that had gone into the planning of the hospital. Commissioner George T. Frost stated that the old infirmary had long outlived its usefulness. They had often wondered just what the result would have been if fire had broken out in the buildnig, or if the boilers had broken that provided the heat. The new hospital will be an answer to all those problems and many more, he explained. 100 spectators Approximately ceremony watched the which started at 10 a.m. Among those present were county officials, Ogden and Roy civic leaders and Dr. Willard West of the State Department of Public Health, Dr. Arley Flinders, Weber County health director, and Peterson, director of Public Health nurses.

The home units were moved onto separate lots and remodeled under the 14 or more standard home plans. A remarkable variety of appearance was achieved through the use cf different shakes and bricks.

Cottle - Dear 1958 . . Last fall 1 visited Ro and was so well town with the that someday I hope to move out there. impressed Since my visit my son has sent me the weekly paper. Regardless of of how busy 1 am I mangaged to read your column. I thought maybe you would like to hear that it was being read and enjoyed in the Ozarks. Signed F. L. Lowe. Lenonon, Mo Dear Mr. Iowe: Because of your wonderful sentiment expressed in the unquoted part of your letter, I am dedicating this week's column to you sir, and adding my thanks. Mr. Cottle: . Originality and Plagiarism One couldn't carry on life comfortably without to a the fact that everything has been said better than little blindness we can put it George Eliot. The most Origfnality is nothing but Judicious imitation. original writers borrowed one from another. The instruction we we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbors, kindle It at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all. Voltaire. PEOPLE ARE always talking about originality: but what do they mean? As soon as we are born, the world begins to work upon us; and this goes on to the end And after all. what can we call our own, except energy, strength, and will. If I could give an account of all that I owe to great predecessors andk contemporaries, there would be but a small balance in my favor. Goethe. A well cultivated mind, is, so to speak, made up of all the mnids of preceding ages; it is only one single mind which Fontenelle. has been educated during all this time. IT IS NOT STRANGE that remembered ideas should often take advantage of the crowd of thoughts and smuggle themselves in as original. Honest thinkers are always stealing unconsciously from each other. Our minds are full of waifs and estrays which we think we 0. W. Holmes. own. Innocent plagiarism turns up everywhere. It has come to be practically a sort of rule in literature, that a man, having shown himself capable of original writing, is entitled, thenceforth, to steal from the writings of others at discretion. Thought is the property of him who can entertain It and of him who can adequately place it. A certain awkwardness marks the use of borrowed thoughts; but as soon as we have learned what to do with them, they become our own. Emerson. It is to be remembered that all men who have sense and feeling are being continually helped; they ar taught by every person whom they meet and enriched by everything that falls in their way. The greatest is he who has been oftenest aided; and, if the attainments of all human minds could be traced to their real sources, it would be found that the world has been laid most under contribution by the men of most original power, and that every day of their existence deepened their debt to their race, while it enlarged their gifts to it. Ruskin. Shall we meet and think together here next week? ourselves. |
