Plans Announced For Study of Recreation Areas The start of a detailed study of outdoor recreation resources is announced today by C. S. Thornock, Supervisor of the Uinta National Forest. A part of the National For-est Recreation Resource Re-view, the purpose of the study is to bring into focus a clear picture of the recreation re-sources and opportunities avail-able on the Uinta National Forest. The facts brought to light as a result of this review will be used as the basis for future programs of construc-tion and new development. Mr. Thornock noted that more Americans everywhere are relying on the National Forest for rest and relaxation. In 1953 there were 539,000 vi-sits to recreation areas on the Uinta. In 1958 nearly 960,000 people went to the Forest to rest and enjoy the forest en-vironment, an increase of 78"7r in only five years. All indica-tions are that this trend will continue to increase. Under multiple-us- e manage-ment, recreation is integrated with the other natural resour-ces, i.e.: timber, water, wild-life and grazing, in a way that will best serve the public in-terest. The review will assure that proper consideration will be given to public recreation needs in the over-a- ll manage-ment of national forest resour-ces. Mrs. L. LaMar Weight is convalescing from a major op-eration which she underwent Monday at the Spanish Fork Hospital. State Joins Trend To Withhold Tax Utah was one of six states ' to adopt withholding of income taxes from residents in 1959, according to a report just re-leased by Utah Foundation, the private tax research organiza-tion. The Foundation also ob-serves that since several state legislatures are still in session, there is the possibility that ad-ditional states may impose a withholding tax before the end of the year. The Foundation study shows that there are 18 states plus the District of Columbia which now have general withholding laws for collecting personal in-come taxes. Included in this group are the new states of Alaska and Hawaii. In addi-tion, state income taxes are withheld from nonresidents or in special circumstances in five of the other states. Ten states have personal income tax laws but no withholding systems. Probably more natural arch-es and bridges are located in Utah than in all other states and countries combined. Almost in Arches Na-tional 90 are included Monument alone, includ-ing what is believed to be the world's longest natural-ston- e This is Landscape Arch span. measuring 291 feet from end to end Scores and possibly hundreds of other arches and are found in the canyon lands of Utah Colorado Plateau. Rainbow Na-tural Bridge, largest in the world, can be reached only by a 14-mi- le horseback trip or a six mile hike from the Colorado River. The largest river in the Wes-tern Hemisphere that does not reach the ocean is claimed to be Bear River. Heading in the High Uinta Mountains of north-eastern Utah, the Bear winds for 500 miles before emptying into Great Salt Lake, only 90 airline miles from its point of origin. The river makes five state-lin- e crossings and passes through three states in its journey. , Vd 1 reservoir to be !)
