Show was early decided upon as the natural theme to be developed. I his after all, is Utah's greatest asset. Finally a proposition was ac-; ac-; copted-that of showing in diora- ma lorm stval of the outstanding outstand-ing scenes in Utah. The Great Unite Throne, Bryce Canyon, Edwin Natural Bridge, were a-nwng a-nwng the first scenes to be cho-sn. cho-sn. Others which were added lat. r were the Temple Block, the Salt Flats, showing a picture of Capt. Eyston's car "Thunderbolt" travelling at 357.6 miles per hour, ; typical Utah irrigation scene and the Utah Copper Mine. These are all reproduced in color, built to scale and represent a cross section of Utah's scenery and industry. in-dustry. Constantly changing lights add to the effectiveness of the scenes. The exhibit was one of the few ready on opening day. General Gillmore, Director of Governmental Govern-mental Participation for the Fair complimented the Committee on this achievement. Although Utah's exhibit is small, the members of the Committee Com-mittee are proud that they have covered so much of the varied interests in the state, with an appropriation ap-propriation from the Legislature no larger than it was. For comparison, com-parison, records show that the State spent over $85,000.00 in 1915 for their exhibit at the Panama Pan-ama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. The building and installation l of the exhibit was placed in the j competent hands of Mercer Chri-: Chri-: stensen of Bountiful who has I worked for nearly eight months j to get these small models true to j color and scale. The Committee j was glad to utilize the talents of j a young local commercial artist : rather than to take advantage of the experience of out-of-state organizations whose representatives representa-tives submitted plans and bids for Utah's exhibit. Nearby exhibits in the Hall of Western States are using three times as much space as purchased purchas-ed by Utah with proportionately large expenditures for placing their exhibits. For advertising value, however, the Utah exhibit is outstanding and the members of the Committee are proud of the results of their efforts. Mrs. II. E.

The exhibit was made possible by an appropriation by the State Legislature of 1937. A committee of representative citizens of the State was appointed by the Governor Gov-ernor and they have worked unceasingly un-ceasingly for the past year to get the best exhibit possible for the limited amount of money available. City anil Mrs. Lucile Wallace Wolf of Ogden are acting as hostesses hos-tesses in the exhibit. Flag Day, June 14 has been set aside as UTAH DAY and appropriate ap-propriate ceremonies will be held.
