Each state was assigned sister cities, and along with Matsumoto, Salt Lake has created long-term relationships with a town in Bolivia and the Philippines. "The sister city program is a fantastic arrangement," said Fred Ball, executive vice president of the Salt Lake area Chamber of Commerce. "Art works have circulated between each country's schools, there are hundreds of pen pals writing back and forth, and we have an active student exchange program." Ball said his 15-year-old daughter spent a year in Matsumoto and now speaks fluent Japanese. She accompanied the Park City tour and offered her interpreting inter-preting expertise when needed. The visitors toured the Kimball Art Center while assistant director Franci Eisenberg presented the history of the building. An English-speaking visitor translated the garage-turned-art-center story to the delegation before they boarded the bus for the resort center. After lunch at the Summit House and a ride on the Alpine Slide, the visitors were scheduled to return to Salt Lake City. "Park City is a great host," Ball commented.

During their visit, Matsumoto Mat-sumoto will be hosting the Far East Olympic Games and the Utah group will have the honor of meeting Japan's emperor and emperess. Ball added that another highlight of the trip will be a nine-day visit to mainland China. He said he applied a few years ago for visas into the country and just recently was granted gran-ted entrance. Ball said on his first visit to Matsumoto, he and his wife arrived to find many of the 190,000 residents lining the streets for a parade. "Then we found out that we were the parade!" Ball chuckled, remembering how he and his wife walked alone down the streets waving to the sea of faces. The Chamber of Commerce Commer-ce official commented that the Japanese always visit during the Days of '47 celebration. "They love parades and the rodeo," Ball said. "As a matter of fact, the first few years they came, they thought the parade was in their honor!" The forty-four delegates, who arrived last Saturday, have had a full schedule of mm. Losing Old Editor: Park City has a treasure in its midst which I fear it is in danger of losing. I refer to the old cemetery. ..a quaint and lovely spot evocative of a Thornton Wilder play. It was meant to be the quiet resting place of, among others: a Civil War veteran, a "Woodman of the World," a soldier of the Spanish-American Spanish-American War, a lady born in 1814 (the oldest birthdate I have discovered), and scores -of children. (How tenuous was their hold on life.) Instead, this sacred ground which reflects so Purse Stolen From Chateau A purse containing $13 was stolen from a closet in the Chateau Apres Wednesday, July 13. Valerie Davidson of Duluth, Mn., reported the incident in-cident at 5 : 30 p.m. and police discovered the burglar had entered through a hotel room window. The purse was later recovered and returned, retur-ned, although the cash was missing. Two Snow Country condominiums con-dominiums were burglarized on July 20th. Robert Stephens, who owns unit number 1010, reported a glass jar containing $50 in coins missing. Entry was made through a screen, and the police say they suspect a Visit activities. Saturday evening there was a banquet with the Japanese American Citizens League at Little America. On Sunday morning the visitors enjoyed a chuck-wagon chuck-wagon ""breakfast at 'River-' side Park, , listened,, to a Mormon -Tabernacle Choir broadcast, and then toured the Hogle Zoo before visiting Snowbird. On Monday the visitors either rode or walked beside a float in the Days of '47 parade, supped on a special meal at the Benihana restaurant and then attended the rodeo at the Salt Palace that evening. Reservoirs Better Reprinted from With the memory of last year's drought fresh in the minds of farmers and sportsmen, sports-men, the recent report of the water levels in Echo and Wanship reservoirs is good news. Blaine Johnson, water commissioner for the Weber River, said Wanship Reservoir Reser-voir has 61,290 acre feet and is full and spilling. The present situation indicates that there will be a big carryover of irrigation water for next year. The Wanship Reservoir water is used for power, municipal water and irrigation. Rockport recreation site is located on the shores of the waters backed up by the dam and is a favorite site for boating, fishing camping. The melting snow from the Uinta Mountains fills the mm. 7-23 erstciio L Cemetery much of Park City's past, is neglected and vandalized. Many markers have been knocked from their bases. Those left standing are often topped with a beer can. Obviously Ob-viously a favorite trophy of the vandals is the head of the tiny lamb that frequently marked a child's grave. The early history of Park City is written on those time-eroded time-eroded tombstones, and often of-ten in poetry. The cemetery deserves to be protected and restored. Sincerely, Pat Capson juvenile because of the small opening that was made. Unit 1017 of Snow Country was ransacked on the same day, but owner Stephan Shiber Smith discovered nothing missing. The Park City Police department said the two entries probably were made by the same burglar. A Park Avenue condominium con-dominium was reported robbed rob-bed on July 22 of a clock radio, silverware and possibly some paper goods and food. The police reported repor-ted that a man currrently in custody in Salt Lake City for other break-ins is a strong suspect in this incident. P. C.

"Matsumoto is a ski center high in the Japanese Alps," Ball said. "All of the delegates had heard a lot about Park City and requested that the next visit to Salt Lake be scheduled during the skiing season!" the Salt Lke Tribune streams that feed into the Weber River, which fills the Wanship Reservoir. The waters released from this source flow into the Echo Reservoir, another popular recreation site near Coalville. Mr. Johnson said Echo's water level is down a little because of irrigation water being used by farmers in the Henefer-Morgan area, but there are still 66,740 acre feet remaining behind the dam. Echo and Wanship Dams, are earth-fills and were recently inspected by government gover-nment officials. A needle valve was repaired in Echo Dam last fall. Mr. Johnson reported that both dams passed inspection completely and the slight leakage observed by some citizens was due to the faulty valve. (MP- |
