Utah is a name that within the next few years is going to be a familiar one almost the world over. It is going to be so because it will be attached to a most wonderful state in the sisterhood of states -a state which under liberal and honest rule is destined to paralyze the methodical, slow-moving slow-moving eastern states, and cause them to awaken to the fact that for brain and brawn, energy and stamina, they are not "in it" with the west Utah is most favorably located as a distributing point. She commands a tremendous scope of country east, west, north and south--a country rich in every attribute that goes to build happy homes and busy cities. She has a wonderfully soft and balmy climate as a whole, yet so diversified as to afford continual springtime or eternal snows. She has the most wonderful mineral springs in the world, and the most of them; she has the finest bathing in the world and is a natural health resort, the likes of which cannot be found anywhere else in the universe. But her bone and sinew-the foundation stone of her future greatness-lies in her might resources. No human brain can grasp and marshal into tangible shape the vastness and superiority of Utah's undeveloped resources-only resources-only time, capital and intelligently directed skill can unfold that wonderful flower so that all may behold and realize its beauty and fragrance. We talk in a general way of our gold, silver, copper, iron and coal mines-all rich and extensiveof our beds of industries who compare notes and gain new enthusiasm in the production power which ordinary peacetime requirements will not absorb.

Billy, an eighth grader at TMMS, is a Scout in Troop 72 which is sponsored by the Park City Rotary Club.

Billy's father, Jim Lea, has served as the committee chairman for Troop 72 and Cub Pack 3072 for the past several years. His mother, Cindy, was Billy's first den mother. Both parents have received awards from the Salt Lake Boy Scout Council for their service to scouting. Billy's Eagle ceremony will be held Tuesday evening, March 30 at the Park City Community Church.

Our Government is now experimenting with domestic sources for rubber. Some sixty thousand acres are devoted to the production of guayule and its possibilities as a source of domestic rubber. Emergency plants for the production of thousands of tons of synthetic rubber from oil and alcohol are now springing into ., production. We have learned how to make paper for slash pine and starch from potatoes. We are learning how to raise medicinal herbs which we formerly imported. Denied the use of kapok which we imported from the East Indies and used in life preservers, we have discovered that the floss from milkweed makes better life preservers than kapok ever did. Factories have been built and several thousand acres are now devoted to raising milkweed intensively. Already we are producing tung oil successfully. Thousands of acres will be needed before we can supply even our present domestic market Luckily, we have at hand the National Farm Chemurgic Council, an organization of research chemists from our several salt sulphur, alum, chalk, clay, marble, building stone and cement and yet not one man in a thousand begins to comprehend the true meaning of the power and wealth that lies behind these resources, as yet only spoken of.

For years the tragic results of the expansion of food-producing acreage during World War I has haunted American agriculture. Every farmer, as a matter of patriotism, interrupted his rotation of crops to produce food and more food for our armies and our Allies. Now again in World War II, to feed our soldiers and our Allies and to serve the special demands of war industry, we are dislocating our normal production as a matter of patriotic service. It seems plain that by the end of this war American farms will have created a tremendous surplus research for new uses of old crops and new crops which can be cultivated in America. Our government has established regional research laboratories. More than fifteen thousand different kinds of plants grow in the natural state in the United States. We usee less than three hundred of these plants. Farm chemurgy will not be complete, nor the post-war problem of agriculture solved until every J J ' J" I J ' ' I J 3 1 8 ll J 1 1 1993 MONTERO f Lease, $1000 cap. reduction, 42 months.plus security deposit, tax and license fees. 1993 MONTERO r r r All wheel drive, leather interior, CD player, sunroof, top of the line 42 month lease, $1000 cap. reduction, plus 1st payment, security deposit, tax and license fees.

Deer and elk are at a critical period during the winter months because of the difficulty in obtaining food to sustain them and the females are carrying young which will be born in the late spring. These animals have little reserve strength at this time so anytime they are pushed by individuals on snow machines they tire easily and have difficulty in recovering from the extra effort expended. This endangers the health of the animal and the unborn young they may be carrying. Avalanches are a constant source of danger for the snow traveler along with the possibility of being caught far from any help with a broken down snow machine. Division of Fish and Game officials asked all persons using snowmobiles to refrain from pursuing or harassing game animals for the benefit of the fame and to avoid prosecution under Utah law RS Air cond, Active-Trac 4 WD, keyless entry, limited slip differential, power windows, more!

Two weeks ago the crack had grown into a slab about the size of a car that collapsed and had to be filled. Last Sunday, a 30-foot long section of Highway 40 between Park City and Heber slid 60 feet into the ravine below. By Monday the section of Highway 40, about a mile south of the base of Phoston Hill, deteriorated even further. The erosion continued with several feet slipping at a time. By mid-morning the west side land disappeared completely and cracks spread into the east side land. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) crews arrived on Monday morning and began to fill the ever-growing chasm along the west side of the road. Harold Jones of the UDOT headed the repair crew and was astounded by the size of the gorge. "I've never seen anything this radical," he said. "The road has collapsed before along here, but this...this is a damn mess." The mess, as Jones called it, was apparently caused by springs undermining the road. "The whole hillside is just saturated with water from springs. The ground just kept getting V-6 engine, auto, O.D., power package, security system, cruise, and more Lease, $2000 cap. reduction,48 months, plus tax , O.A.C., residual $4,965 M32075. skiing wetter and wetter until it just went," said Jones. The main part of the road collapsed Sunday morning. No one was injured, but Highway 40 was closed until crews could survey the damage. The road continued to erode until Wednesday, when crews were finally able to fill in enough dirt to stop the slippage. Just halting the slide was an arduous task for the UDOT crew, hampered for days by weather and traffic. As cars and trucks cautiously crept by the ravine on Monday, Jones worried about the stability of the road. "The pressure of the traffic, especially those semis, is causing the road to slip more. It is a mighty dangerous situation. It could set there a long time or it could go in 15 minutes." Later on Monday Jones detoured northbound traffic on the old highway east of 40 and kept southbound traffic on 40. On Wednesday all traffic was returned to 40. Rain and snow delayed work, but the road crew, armed with a battalion of dump trucks, bulldozers, and caterpillar scrapers, was able to scrape enough of the nearby hillside down into the ravine to stop the slide. Jones expects the highway to be repaired in a week or more, but doubts the permanence of the repair. "The road here is on a natural slip-plane. slip-plane. With all the water underneath , it will just keep slipping. We are going to put some drains on the east side, but, hell, you can't get rid of water in country like this. This could happen again next year." 3 1993 DIAMANTE ES mmmi 'Vl11'" Lease, 42 months, plus tax, $1000 cash cap. reduction, and fees MSRP $24,550. 1993 ECLIPSE ! |
