Spotlighting UTAH Utah Pictures Going to Russia The magazine "America", published pub-lished in New York by the New York state department and which j is distributed in the Soviet Un- ! ion, has asked the Utah depart-ment depart-ment of publicity and industrial development for a series of pho- ! tos depicting Utah's public campgrounds camp-grounds and the manner in which they are used. The pictures are to show the Russians just how ! we, out here m Utah, seek recreation re-creation in camps maintained by public money. The public campgrounds in the forested Mirror lake section, with cold water piped to every camp site, permanent camp stoves, tables, ta-bles, benches and clean toilet facilities, fa-cilities, are included in the pictures pic-tures being sent to the magazine Lake City to determine the a-mount a-mount of tourist automobile traffic traf-fic Within the period mentioned, cars from 35 states in the union were counted coming into and ' leaving Salt Lake City. This record re-cord indicates that Utah is certainly cer-tainly drawing her share of visitors vis-itors this season. In fact it is estimated that some 344.000 tourists tour-ists will converge on Salt Lake City during the month of Aug-USt, Aug-USt, visit Temple square, enjoy the city's hospitality for 24 hours and depart on their way. leaving some $5,167,140. Tourists carry away with them certain impressions gained while visiting cities and states, and it behooves every Utahn who com-, com-, es in contact with out-of-state Visitors to see that they receive only the best of treatment. The point is well illustrated by Editor A. N. Rytting, publisher Of the Bear River Valley Leader We quote Editor Rytting's editorial edi-torial as follows: "We little know how our actions ac-tions are going to impress tourists tour-ists and visitors about our com munity. "Recently a tourist couple ask I ed directions to find a certain family fa-mily in the valley and the service station attendant was courteous enough to draw a diagram for j them to follow Upon reaching the home of their friends, they were loud in their praise of the kind treatment they had receiv- j ed, commenting 'That it must be nice to live in a community where everyone is so kind and considerate. Another Impression: "The publisher had occasion to ask an individual how hi' liked our town after he had been heir a few months, and was somewhat some-what taken aback by his answer: 'I've seen towns I like better. It seems so dirty here and I have never been in a place where men seem to have so little respect for women; his wife or the wife of someone else. They seem to cuss and swear and tell rotten stories without regard to who hears them.' "There you have it folks two impressions one good, one bad both of the same town." "Amenka". In the meantime, the magazine "Look has asked the Utah publicity pub-licity department for a series of photos telling a complete "Utah story". It seems that the world is fast learning that Confucious was right when he said: "one picture is worth ten thousand ! words." Rockets Versus the Utah Cattle Industry A paramount problem, facing the Utah state Cattle and Horse Growers' association, is the U S. army's insistance on utlizing that great barren 300-mile stretch of Utah desert from Wendover south paralleling the Utah-Nevada state j line for an army rocket test ground. The army wants 2,889,000 acres to test rockets, pertect bombing practices, and carry on other military experiments. While I the map indicates that the western west-ern sections of Tooele, Juab and Millard counties have no towns, yet the cattle growers association declare that should this area be taken by the army for a rocket . test range, the cattle and sheep business of Utah will be ruined, the state will be deprived of an 1 annual income of $5,000,000 and 2,000 families will be affected. The use of the land in question by the army would crmple the winter sheep and cattle range of j the counties mentioned, it is pointed out. Through the efforts of Senator Abe Murdock, Secretary of War Robert Patterson has directed the district army engineer to eon-duct eon-duct a public hearing on the matter mat-ter at West high school. Salt Lake City, Aug. 21, at 10 a.m. The army should turn elsewhere else-where for its rocket test range, declares Senator Murdock.
