Show 30 YEARS AGO Dec. 20. 1951 The L'te Indians, gathering about the wood-burning stoves of their scattered trading posts, have much to talk about these days. From the ckoud-capped l inta Mountains in the north to the lowland pastures at the south of their reservation, men of the oil companies are treading the Indian's lands exploring, ex-ploring, staking locations, raising the drilling rigs that dig into the earth in search of petroleum. There hasn't been such excitement since the I'tes migrated to these lands 70 years aeo. More than 350 servicemen stationed in far-off states and countries from the I'intah Basin will be pouring over a small six page edition of the "I'intah New s" during the Christmas holidays, gleaning information about the home town's Vuletide celebrations, the other boys in the service and perhaps some will locate hometown box's to spend the remaining season with through the address facilities in the letter. The I'tah Field House of Natural History is atxxit to end its busiest year. More than 55.000 persons will have visited the museum in 1951. |
