Show 0 Spotlighting .UTAH Utah's Pastures are Greenest Utahns would stand aghast if they were told jus how many tourist dollars race down our highways and out of the state every day. Most of these travelers leave the state in a hurry simply because no one has taken the trouble to tell them where they should go or recommend what they should see within our borders. The most valuable commodity any of us has to sell is the state itself as a tourist center. Yet it is a well known fact in business that you cant do a first class selling job unless you know enough about your product to sell it with intelligence and enthusiasm. Selling the travel trade is no different than any other commodity in this respect. We cant sell our tourist attractions unless we really know and appreciate them. It is almost a tragedy that we live so closely beside our natural wonders that, through proximity and usage, they seem commonplace to us. To the traveler, these same things are probably worth traveling thousands of miles to sea. A great travel trade will favorably affect the living standard ot all residents of Utah. This increased volume depends, in a measure at least, on how effectively Utahns sell their state. Why not become better salesmen of your states scenic wonders through visiting them this summer instead of going to distant areas to see something less or facinating. Do You Know Your Utah? Do you know that Utah has a Grand Canyon of the Colorado all its own, only a few hours drive from the center of the state and easily accessible? Any one who has experienced the grandeur of Dead Horse Point, only 35 miles off Highway U. S. 16U, will forever recommend this superb area to everyone he meets. Also just off U. S. 160 lies Arches National Monument. No where else Is it possible to find so many fantastic arches and windows than in this compact area, where wind and sand have applied their arts for hundreds oi centuries. Have you visited the Natural Bridges National Monument and Monument Valley? More of the natural wonders of the world are in' your back yard than in any other 85,000 square miles in the country. Have you visited Capitol Reef and the Wayne Wonderland? If so, do you know of any other place of wilder beauty? . Do you know of a duplicate of the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, easily accessible a few miles north 'of Kanab, where motion picture armies fight their battles? Bryce, Zion and Cedar Breaks are advertised to the world, yet many Utahns have yet to experience their thrill. Are you familiar with the aweof inspiring drive over the top the world, through the lush Man-t- i forest from Tucker to Ephraim? Or the drives over fine highways through Logan, Ogden or Provo canyons? Have you ever seen a deeper blue than Bear Lake or Navajo beauty Lake, or more primitive Grand-daddthan Fish Lake or the Lakes? Do you know that in Utah are the most fabulous ghost towns of western legend and history? How many Utahns can boast of standing in the old Wells Fargo Bank building at Silver Reef? How many can inspire the listener hiswith the almost unbelievable ? tory of La Plata or Alta or Are you aware of the amazing historical background of some town in every county in Utah? To sell Utah, one must know Utah. If you know your Utah, no you will agree there are greener pastures. mag-nificie- y Cor-rine- recreation activity WAY GETS UNDER evening a roller skathigh ing party was held at the school tennis court with a large crowd of youngsters and a few older people in attendance.

II you are, then plan your trip safely. But even if you stay at home, keep safety in mind for the Fourth of July holiday one of the most dangerous week ends of the year. That is the advice of the National Safety Council, wnich is coordinating In & nation wide campaign to hold down the usual upsurge in accidental deaths during the IndeOne pendence Day celebration. hundred and thirty national as well as state and city puhllc officials, are cooperating in the effort. Motor vehicle accidents lead the list of holiday hazards. Drowning from swimming and fshing accidents is the second biggest risk. Other deaths are due to fireworks and firearms, sunstroke and heat exhaustion, food poisoning, fails and miscellaneous accidents. The death toll for the month of July last year was 8,700, the Safety Council points out. While it is impossible to determine the exact number of deaths from all causes occurring during the Fourth of July holiday, the Safety Council said the total was well above the average for other days of the month. It is expected that more pleasure-seeking holiday motorists will pile into more oars and roll up more miles during this one week end celebration than ever before In the nations history. More than 33 million motor vehicles will be on the move during the holiday. The increasing number of new cars on the road and the substantial rise in gasoline consumption this year Indicate a heavy death toll unless everyone is fully aware of the holiday hazards and makes a real effort to avoid them. There are two ways to hold down deaths during a holiday period, said Ned H. Dearborn, president of the Safety Council One is for police, beach guards and others who have authoritative control over public safety to be especially alert and vigorous In their enforcement of sane rules of public behavior. "The other is for all of us to recognize that holidays are danger days, and to drive a car, wa'ik across the street, swim, fish or otherwise conduct ourselves In a safe and prudent manner, If everyone would keep In mind the words Take It easj on the Fourth and be alive or the Fifth this Fourth of Julj will bring much less tragedj and muoh more pleasure." TAYLOR REUNION AT PLEASANT GROVE On June 10 Mr. and Mrs Heber Moon went to Pleasant Grove for the purpose of attending the Taylor family reunion. Enroute they vjteited at Heber with a and daughter of Mr. Moon, Mr. and Mrs. Ferrin Van Wagoner. At the reunion the five sons and daughters and eleven grandchildren of Mrs. Moon were present. Verl L.

The young man had been at the Roosevelt hospital for several days but they did not have the facilities at that place to hold the fracture which was of an unusual nature. Roy Hayes was accompanied to Salt Lake by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arch Hayes and Eldrcdge Buckalew. in Salt Mrs. Hayes remained Lake to be at the bedside of her son while the men returned to Duchesne.

Members elected to the permanotnt committee were from the community at large and without regard to organized affiliation. The committee elected was as follows: S. Floyd Holm, chairman; Mrs. George C. Kohl, Ray Horrocks, Troy Bailey and Roy Eliason. On Sunday evening at 6 p. m. the elected committee met at the home of Mr. Holm for the purpose of effecting an organization. The committee was constituted for work and responsibility as follows; Publicity, Mrs. Kohl; admissions, Mr. Bailey; finance, Mr. Horrocks and Mr. Eliason; secretary and purchasing, Mr, Holm. The main objectives of the committee and of the group that elected the committeeis to get the cooperative support of pH organizations and individuals in the community to support a unified program of recreation for everyone in the community. It is only through such cooperation that such a venture can fully succeed. Mr. Erickson has been employed by officials of the school district to direct this program, as well as a similar one in Tabiona. A meeting was held at Tabiona Tuesday evening, June 21, to lay plans for the program an that locality. Mr. Encckson will act as coach at the Duchesne High School during the coming school year. He is a graduate of the B Y U where he majored in physical education with varied experience and train. ng in nearly every athletic and recreational activity. Mr. Erickson has drawn up a complete schedule of activities for the program which may be viewed in the windows of the drug store or post office. Eveiy-on- e is urged to read these schedules. This schedule is tentative and may be changed as interests and circumstances warrant. Watch this paper for further details and information about the program as it unfolds. Floyd S. Holm. y.
