Show Civic Clubs To Meet In St. George For Sixth Consecutive Year For the sixth consecutive year, members and directors of the Associated As-sociated Civic Clubs of Southern Utah will gather in St. George for their December meeting. The dates have been set as Saturday and Sunday, December 17 and 18, according ac-cording to Pres. James M. Sargent, who will preside at the' business sessions. Laron S. Andrus, a Washington county director of the association and secretary of the chamber of commerce, will make arrangements arrange-ments for the meeting in cooperation coopera-tion with the local civic clubs. The business session will open at 2:30 p.m. after members of the executive execu-tive board have met at 10 a.m. Other details will be announced later, however, it is probable that another business session will be required. . Legislative and advertising plans for 1939 will be given preference over other items due to the state legislature convening early in January and representatives from Southern Nevada and California attending the meeting to go over cooperative advertising plans. They desire to cooperate with Southern Utah in tying Death Valley, Boulder Boul-der Dam, Lake Mead and the Southern Utah Parks into a single advertising campaign. Robert Griffin, president, and Oliver Goerman, secretary, of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, will head this delegation and expect ex-pect to present a plan that will bring much of the San Francisco Fair travel through the Southern parts of the three states. Principal among the legislative (Continued on page six) Civic Clubs To Meet (Continued from first page) problems will be the continued protection of the gas tax money for building and improving roads, changing the present law governing govern-ing the state aeronautics commission commis-sion so funds can be spent at the discretion of the. commission for improvement of airports and promotion pro-motion of aviation, and possible support for a "preferential bill." At present the law requires the aeronautics commission to spend its funds on the airports from which the money is derived. The result is that the Salt Lake City airport received practically all of the fund. The entire state, as well as the aviation industry, would benefit by the change, the association associa-tion believes. Passage of a preferential law similar to those in force in other states, would give Utah products purchased by the state or its political poli-tical subdivisions a price preference prefer-ence of from five to 10 per cent, j Directors of the Associated Civic ! Clubs will bo asked to vote on this ! project at the St. George meeting j before the association will be com- mitted to its support. |
