Frank Hemingway, right, the noted newscaster, and guide Charles McCurdy look over some of the splendor of Zion National Park during a tour of the area. Hemingway has been in Utah for a week telling listeners about scenic tourist attractions. Hemingway Tours, Then Praises The Scenic Wonders in Utah and the Fishlake National Forest region. He commented, "my gosh, I thought I'd seen everything," when he looked up Goblin Val-ley. Hemingway not only, extolled the wonders of the state to every-one within earshot but also gave a three-minut- e resume of his pre-vious tour on that morning's newscast. sand homes. Net officials say that this totals more than one million, 800 thousand persons every morn-ing in the 11 Western states. The Hemingway tour began in St. George. He and his writer, Joe Grensback, saw such points of interest as Dixie State Park, St. George and Cedar City. He also flew around the south-western part of the state and (Editor's Note: This is an-other in a series of articles de-signed to acquaint Utahns with their home state. This week, however, instead of touring a specific area, Frank Hemingway, the famous news-caster, tells about his experi-ences while in Utah under sponsorship of the Utah Tour-ist and Publicity Council.) "Magnificent!" His earthy personality and likeable characted soon worked their way to Provo where more tours were on the docket. A plane took Hemingway and his party up Provo Canyon and then to Flaming Gorge Dam where hard-hat- s were put on and a tour of the area was soon under way. From Flaming Gorge it was Vernal, Dinosaur National Mon-ument, the Fieldhouse of Natural History and then to Salt Lake City. While in Salt Lake Heming-way said over the air: "This amazing state of Utah is becom-ing more amazing every day. This morning I was having breakfast with the governor when he 'provided' me with an earthquake." After a day in Salt Lake Hem-ingway headed for Ogden, Snow Basin, Logan, and the Salt Flats and their surrounding areas. "It was a quick trip and I wish I had more time to stick around," he said, "But man, am I glad I came." then flew to Moab via Canyon-land- s. "This is some of the most in-teresting, breatataking scenery I've ever had the privilege to look at," he said of some of the wonders of the southern part of the state. Arches National Monument, Zion National Park, Bryce Can-yon and Capitol Reef left Hem-ingway "breathless," he said after the trip. "I can't believe that any single place can have so much contrast and still be within relatively short distances," he explained. As Hemingway worked his way north, his tour guides in-cluded the members of the Utah Tourist and Publicity Council. Andrew Pace, J. W. Corbin, Ken-- I neth Sowards, Homer Bandley, Conley Watts, Gus Backman and Chester J. Olsen assisted throughout Utah. In the Richfield area Heming-way saw Capitol Reef, Fish Lake ' "Land of Infinite Variety!" "The color and contrast and beauty and splendor are unbe-lievable!" Those are just a few of the words and verse that have been going out over the airways this past week from the voice of the American Broadcasting Com-pany's Frank Hemingway. And what was Hemingway of ABC Radio West talking about? Utah, that's what. In the Beehive State for a week, Hemingway originated his broadcast from a different sec-tion of Utah each day. The big, hulking, mustachioed newsman was brought to Utah by the Utah Tourist and Pub-licity Council as part of its ad-vertising campaign for the fall. Hemingway, who has been heard every morning on the In-termountain Network for the ' past 17 years, says that his broad cast is heard daily in 650 thou- - Utah Fair Features Big Display by U.S. Armed Forces Utah's Armed Forces are combining men and .equipment at the Utah State Fair for the largest military exhibit in the intermountain area annals. Military display coordinator, Lt. Lawrence D. Doff, Dugway Proving Ground, and Woolas A. Macey, Utah State Fair Assn. secretary - manager, set aside Sept. 16 as Armed Forces Day at the Fair.

Highlighting the daily mili- - tary exhibits are youth fitness testing by the 21st Rifle Com-pany of the U.S. Marine Corp. Boys and girls between eight and 17 years of age, go through a series of separate physical exer-cises, and those passing will re-ceive certificates. If they don't pass, Lt. Doff said, they at least "get a workout." The Marine rifle squad will stage a sham battle an attack on a "fortified position" Sept. 16 at 4:30 at the Fairgrounds grandstand with simulated ar-tillery bursts, flame throwers and all that goes with real Ma-rine wjarfare, Lt. Doff said. Andl every hour of the fair, a man jumps from an 80-fo- ot pole to demonstrate parachute artis-try. This event takes place under the auspices of the Utah Gen-eral Depot and Utah National Guard Special Forces. Missiles on display include the Sergeant (with launcher and control van) from Sperry Utah; the Bomarc from Air Force Re-cruiting; the Corporal, Honest John and Nike-Aja- x from Tooele Army Depot.

Recipients of this grant are Dr. Melvin Anderson, Agricul-- I ture Research Service, USU, and Dr. George Stoddard, head dairy department, for the purpose of identifying the sources of Iodine 131 in milk and to determine proper herd management and methods of feeding when fallout is present; to determine more precisely the relation of 31 i 1 1 J 1 1 a imaKe 10 me level oi contamina-tion and to determine the paths of metabolism and excretion of 31 in the animal body. According to Dr. Stoddard, in-formation on methods of identi-fying the source of 31 con-tamination and of reducing the amount of radioactive Iodine in milk is needed by the dairy in-dustry, the government and the public. Dr. Stoddard indicated that, "If it ever becomes a prob- lem we will know how to cope with it." Joys are our wings; sorrows our spurs. Richter. |
