Show TOURISTS OUR GREATEST ASSET A t-alk given by Snperliiteiulent I'atraw. of tlie X.ion mid ltryee National l'arks, reminds us again that the greatest resource of Washington County, considering material and linaneial advantages advantag-es is our tourist traffic. Washington County is advantageously advan-tageously situated, in being a point that all tourists, to and from the National l'arks of Southern llali. must pass. lie stateil a truth when he said that, scenery as a resource is rather uninue. in the fact that the more it is used, the greater its value becomes. It is not like the forests for-ests or the mines, whose wealth is depleted by a constant use by the public, for you can use it every day, year in year, and ye , will always have it left to be used again. I Then, our aim should be a I w ider dissemination of know ledge as to the beauties of these attractions attrac-tions that a kind providence his endowed us with, to the end thi! more thousands of the traveling . public will linger w it'rn our county. Nothing should he lot'; ; undone to bri'lg uore poo !e through St. C.oorge arid Washington Washing-ton county. And w hile w e ar sn ggesl i. .. this, w e are reminded that m : . thousands of ears lo pass r by m the course of a year, for t! lack of a very simple directing sign at the junction of Highway 1' i and Highway 66 at Itar-.to'c California. Highway 66 goes straight through ltarstow east and wet. while Highway !) 1 takes off in the middle of the town at right angles. This point is not properly proper-ly signed, and it is estimated that thousands of people, a year. pas this place, who would otherwise come up Highway 9 1 and visit ' Southern Utah, if thev were pro perly directed. We understand that tiiis is a problem the Associated Civiv clubs have determined to remedy, and we should not hesitate to lend all assistance possible in this matter. |
