Mr. Presnall told some of the interesting in-teresting experiences that he and the other naturalists had in dealing deal-ing with the many tourists that visit the park, and declared that of the 100,000 visitors to the park at least fifty per cent of them pass through St. George. He urged that the people of this community do everything possible possi-ble to interest more of the tourists tour-ists in going to Zion Park. A musical number was also given by Mr. and Mrs. P. D. Spilsbury. Mr. Simmons closed the program pro-gram by thanking all who had taken part in the preparing of the food and program and expressed ex-pressed the appreciation of tl Rotary club. Following the program most of the group drove up the canyon. To many this was the first time that they had had the privilege of seeing it by moonlight -and they urge that anyone who hasn't has-n't had this experience, make a special effort during the next full moon to do so. They report that there is nothing like it anywhere any-where else and that the beauty will long be remembered by those who view he canyon under un-der a full moon. |
