Show WHAT'S WHAT GOING ON rI 1 By Sam Stun Taylor We saw a column this week written by Editor William Branen Bran- Bran en of the Burlington Standard-Press Standard which we thought was excellent It pertained to clothing worn by modern-day modern I high school boys Entitled Make Men of Them here is the article We dont don't want to start something some- some thing that would harm hann anybody but ut we feel the boys at our high schools should be required to fo wear shirts dress pants and have havea a shine on their shoes We feel that training along this line Une is ls more Important than some isome of the subjects taught to today today today to- to day mainly because it prepares the he man of tomorrow for tomor tomor- row the Idea of school in inthe inthe the he first place Its It's a place where the he youngster is required to learn she he fundamentals of life Lets Let's start start teaching them The Rochester Wisconsin j team of 57 1956 was the he talk of the tournament because because be be- cause use they wore street suits becoming becoming becoming be be- coming of champions Boys will be boys but prepare them hem to be men They might find as boys too late in life df f we dont don't push them a little We agree with Editor Branen do most respects However we wei i dislike th the Idea of attempting to persuade school officials they I should make and enforce rules regarding wearing apparel Although Although Al Al- though most schools have some dress restrictions they are generally generally generally gen gen- poorly enforced After all teachers and education officials have enough on their minds now- now days especially In Jn the west with expanding enrollments and new methods of instruction We would be the last to Join the he growing ever-growing list of citizen pressure groups all striving to toI I dictate what will and what will not be taught in schools A little pride in appearance among emong students themselves is I the answer Weve We've just got to find ind someone to start the ball rolling If one or two can do it end and get away without being cal called d square the first blow will be struck by our side Moab's new radio station KURA a new-born new infant belonging belonging be be- longing to Moab Broadcasting and Television company is almost set to begin regular broadcasting this week Officials have invited the community to an open-house open tomorrow night at the studios Inthe in inthe inthe the Grow building and from all indIca Ions there will be a large crowd on hand to see how the whole thing works After many years of not being able ble to get reception on radIos radio during the day in Moab and with the night air so 0 filled with Interference Interference Inter Inter- Interference ference that picking a station was wa next to Impossible a local station station sta sta- station tion will be welcome indeed We are happy to welcome this new enterprise to the ranks o of Moab business which are growing growing growing grow grow- ing day by day It marks one more asset for a community that tha already has more than most We maintain that a town with Its Us own radio station is a better town because of It Just as we believe that all aU being equa equal between communities that one with a newspaper ne is better because be be- cause ause of It Well We'll be te looking forward for tor- ward to your varied features URA KURA It was indeed a pleasure to talk over the telephone this week with Alex York popular Moab welder who was seriously Injured ed led while working on the oil rig down the river a week cr two ago Mr York spoke from froma a e Salt Lake hospital where he hede heit it i. presently being treated for tor serious injuries to his eyes I 1 can di distinguish optics with my left eye and can tell the dl di dif te ference fer nc b between twe w n light and dark darkin in my right Alex said aId whoa ask ik about his condition It was feared that the Moab business bum man might lose sight of both eyes when first reports of the explosion explosion ex ex- ex first reached here Now there appears to be a good chance that Mr York can regain the use of his eyes under Doctors Doctor's Doctors Doctors Doctor's Doc Doc- tors tor's cares This has been the second setback setback set set- back for the local craftsman this year He just recently recovered from injuries received in a fire at lit his Moab shop which kept him hospitalized for many weeks We are sure that prayers for fore forn I n e speedy recovery and return home are being given by Mr I Yorks York's many friends and business associates here I I A trip around the Colorado river rIver ri rI- ver canyon and Green river canyon canyon can can- yon by Jeep is a wonderful ex ex- ex- ex It is amazing what can be seen on this trip which can originate at Moab Many times I S have stood on the edge of Dead Point Pont and Grand View ViewPoint Point country looking down in into into In- In to the broken rugged country and once made the trip on the river dver by boat Now I have been in do n that In between in-between land and it itis itis is quite an experience I got my first up close-up glimpse of the beautiful Corona arch a sandstone carving which rivals the famed Rainbow rrb The amazing thing is that this feature is only a stones stone's throw from Moab Only several miles down the Colorado and partially hidden from view because of its location up a narrow canyon the arch erch is only a few hundred yards' yards hike from the road We are sure that this feature will become one of the most widely seen in the area in a few years Traveling the White Rim country country coun count try above the river canyon is al always al- al always ways interesting Access roads built by mining and oil companies compan compan- des ies make this country available to 10 tourists now if they are of the type typo who dont don't mind sharp rocks and end unmarked junctions A jeep I ds lis really the preferable vehicle for or this area though we saw saw i I I I I several 1 automobiles along the way A visiting tourist remarked several weeks ago in the office that it was a shame that the roads around the area were not mar marked ed at all junctions After a little thought I came to the con conclusion that probably very few people had any idea where the roads lead and agreed with him that it was a shame This was the case when approaching approaching approaching ap ap- ap- ap the spectacular Monument Monument Monument ment canyon which we had seen from rom Grand View Point but had never been to Even though the junctions functions along the road were not marked we arrived at the destination just as we had planned ed and had no trouble identifying identify Identify- ing the canyon This drive will one of these days be
