Wasatch State Park Programmed As Year Around Recreation Area "Our intent will be to build and develop a massive, year around recreational area with complete facilities of great value and worth to people who like the out of doors." H. Clay Cummings, project manager for the Utah State Park and Recreational Commission's Wasatch Mountain State Park, made this observation this week as he began work with the com-mission. Mr. Cummings has been in New Zealand, where he has been serving as director of the infor-mation bureau and president of the New Zealand Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- -day Saints for the past 18 months. He was released from that position to accept the park mnnnppr assignment. Mr. Cummings waxed enthusi-astic over the planned develop-ment of the park, noting that "Wasatch Mountain State Park will provide possibility of rec-reation for every month of the year for every season of the year. "It is a beautiful, primitive area with very little develop-ment and we can create one of --e finest recreation programs in () United States, one to rival Jackson Hole, Squaw Valley and Sun Valley," he said, 5 The first project will be to build roads into the area to make I it accessible from Big Cotton-- I wood Canyon, from Provo and American Fork Canyon and He- - ber Valley, he added. Then will come picnic, camping and re-lated developments. Mr. Cummings headed up the Heber Valley citizens commit-tee which spearheaded the acqui-sition of the land through co-operation with the State Park Commission. Gov. George D. Clyde hailed ? Mr. Cummings' appointment as "an excellent one." ! President Henry D. Moyle, fisrt counselor in the First I f idency of the Church of Je- - star Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, 3 said, "We feel the appointment 1 of Mr. Cummings will be an im- - portant contributing factor to I the progress of the park and we have released him from his duty in New Zealand to assist in car-rying out this vital develop-ment. Mr. Cummings, a life long resident of Heber City, served that community as mayor for four terms and as Wasatch Coun-ty Commissioner for one four-yea- r term and as Bishop and Stake President for 33 years. "We are delighted to have Mr. Cummings with us on this proj-ect and look forward to its de-velopment as funds are avail-able," said Harold Fabian of the Park Commission. BLM Announces Bidding on Land Sealed bids, representing of-fers of bonus payments in order to drill for oil and gas on 40 acres in the Northwest Lisbon Field of San Juan County, will be received by the Utah land of-fice of the Bureau of Land Man-agement until April 26. According to J. E. Keogh, land office manager, the 40 acres are the northeast quarter of the northeast quarter of section 33, township 29 south, range 24 east, Salt Lake Meridian. The successful bidder in addi-tion to paying the bonus, will have to pay the usual annual rental for use of the land and royalties on any oil and gas ex-tracted. 16 Utah Mayors Take Guard Course Sixteen city mayors, council-me- n and other officials got a first hand look at the defense picture in Utah during a day and a half Utah Defense Seminar held at Camp W G Williams, training site of the Utah Army National Guard, last Friday and Saturday. The course was the first in a series sponsored by the National Guard to brief Utah's civic lead-ers in their role in the defense of Utah. The group listened to presentations and inspected the training facilities of the camp and then held a number of in-formal discussions on each sub-ject. The mayors were informed how law enforcement officers at county and city level are being trained at the police academy by Utah Highway Patrol and Utah Peace Officers Association in-structors . They discussed the urgent need for training specialists to estab-lish effective civil defense or-ganization in the state. Another briefing covered the training of Sheriff deputy jeep patrols by the Utah National Guard Special Forces personnel, and the Fish and Game Commission's survival training course is being conduct-ed there to teach people how to survive under the most 'difficult conditions. "Classes on all these subjects are being taught regularly at Camp Williams," Maj. General Maxwell E. Rich stated. "Our objective is to train specialists in all of these fields for every city and county in Utah." "Those attending our Defense Seminar indicated they would send some of their key men to take these courses," the General stated. Indicative of the high interest was the statement of Mayor Wm. Welsh, Price, president of the Utah Municipal League. "I'll back this program 100 percent," he stated after attending the course. Weston Requests Modification of School Board Rules "Federal laws must be modi-fied to permit local school boards to organize systems of appren-ticeship training where those stu-dents who can learn best by us-ing their hands and by working on the job can go directly into business and trades and earn a certificate or diploma while at work," Joseph H. Weston, Demo-cratic candidate for the United States Senate, told leaders and workers of the Democratic party in a bulletin this yeek. "As all teachers know, all stu-dents are not prepared in their early teens, or some even in their late teens, for the kind of exacting study that is required for excellence in scholarly work. These young men and women rebel at being forced by our stupid set of laws to study books that are dull and meaningless to them, so they drop out and be-come problems in delinquency. The fault is not with them but with us because we have failed to provide for their orderly pro-gress and advancement through a system of apprenticeship, or of direct work and study in business or at a trade where they can be immediately earning yat least a part of their way in life. They would thereby be able to hold up their heads in pride. "Such school supervised sys-tems of apprenticeship were do-ing well in many cities of the nation until they were stopped by our present federal laws on child labor and minimum wages. These laws are much too strict and are a means by which the federal government imposes a straight jacket upon educators, parents and businessmen. These laws must be modified to permit a teenager to work in business during school hours with at least a once a week checkup by edu-cational authorities. The teen-agers must be paid for the work, but businesses must be permitted to pay them a comparatively low wage rate during their learning years or time of apprenticeship. "This is a very clear example of one of the many ways in which we have too much federal regulation of our lives, stifling our initiative, suppressing local authority, wasting brains and ability of our leaders, educators, businessmen, on the local level. If these federal laws were re-laxed then local educational authorities, families and busi-nessmen could once more as-sume their proper share of the burden of training our young men and women to become use-ful citizens. "Apprenticeship is the oldest method of organized education known to man, and for many students it still is the most ef-fective of all methods of edu-cation. The businessman and the mechanic, in effect, once more become teachers, just as many generations of their forebears have been teachers for years. "With a good apprenticeship program taking a large number of teenagers out of the crowded classrooms, many of our other educational problems will be somewhat solved. Fewer class-rooms will be needed. Many stu-dents who are now delinquency problems will be earning the money they need to begin to assert their own personalities, and would also be studying un-der guidance in a program de-signed to accredit them at gradu-ation time."

King Bill Would Aid Transportation Of Coal by Pipeline Transportation of coal by pipe line was given a boost when Rep. David S. King introduced a bill to give coal carriers the same privilege of eminent domain as that available to oil and gas transporters under the Interstate Commerce Act. The Congressman told the House that he believes enact-ment of the pipeline legislation will open the California power plants and other West coast mar-kets to Rocky Mountain coal. He pointed out that a 100 mile pipe line in eastern Ohio has been in successful operation for years and that a line from West Vir-ginia to the Atlantic Coast is now contemplated. "A coal pipe line from our coal fields in California will forge an important link between our coal reserves and west coast markets," he said. "Business flowing over such a line would resuscitate Utah's coal industry, whose output fell from a high of 7 million tons in 1947 to approxi-mately 4 million tons in 1960. "Our mines enjoyed a slight increase last year, yet we are still far below capacity and need a stimulant to get our coal in-dustry on the way to substantial-ly higher production in order that it will be ready to serve in an emergency and to contribute its share of energy for the rising requirement over the long range. Facts are stubborn things. Smollet. Scouts Purchase Bear Lake Land Purchase by the Great Salt Lake Council, Boy Scouts of America of 289 acres on the east shore of Bear Lake, Thursday had been approved by the U. S. Bureau of Land Management. According to R. D. Nielson, BLM state director for Utah, the land was classified for disposal under the Recreation and Public purposes act. Non-prof- it organizations are entitled to purchase land at 50 per cent of the land's appraised valuation. The Great Salt Lake Council therefore will pay $12,-00- 0 for the 289 acres on Bear The Council, in its application to BLM, indicated that several buildings and various recreation facilities would be constructed on the property to be used by several thousand Boy Scouts an-nually from throughout the nation as well as from this im-mediate area.
