JUST PHONE 345 Or drop us a card 661 West 2nd North UTAH Hollywood press agents and promotion experts have used up most of the big words like sup-er-collossal, gigantic, stupendous making them seem so common place you just don't want to connect con-nect them with the Centennial commission's musical production "Promised Valley" which opened open-ed in University stadium, Salt Lake City, on July 21 for a three week run, ending August 9. When this one hundredth year of Utah history becomes history itself, "Promised Valley, will be remembered as the outstanding attraction of the year and if you miss it, don't say we didn't tell you. The story is an old one to most Utahns, the story of the trek from Winter Quarters and the settling of the Great Salt Lake valley, but it was never as charmingly char-mingly told as Arnold Sund-gaard Sund-gaard does it in words and lyrics ly-rics set to the vigorous music of Crawford Gates, dramatized by the beautiful interpretive dances danc-es created by Helen Tamiris, and under the very capable direction of C. Lowell Lees and outstanding outstand-ing musical direction of Jay Blackton. The prolougue takes care of the earlier history of the Mormon Mor-mon pioneers and the play opens at Winter Quarters with a group of fictional characters woven into in-to authentic situations. Alfred Drake, as Jedediah Cutler and Jet MacDonald as his wife, Cal-ia, Cal-ia, carried off top honors among the cast with realistic and delightful de-lightful executions of their' vocal vo-cal numbers and acting. Before the musical play ever becomes too bogged down with sentiment, senti-ment, Ross Ramsay and his eight sons add enough comedy relief to put it back on safer grounds. Unintentional comedy was added on opening night by the bit player with one speaking line in the Emigration Canyon scene who was to climb to the top of the four-level outdoor stage and give the play a name with his cry, "It's the Promised Valley." He tripped, stumbled and muffed his one shining moment. Best of the production numbers num-bers was the gorgeously costumed costum-ed Indian encampment scene with "Speaking on a Sunday Night" adding clever comedy Both dances were executed by the versatile Barton Mumaw and Nellie Fisher with the ballet. The most outstanding feature of the great outdoor production was the orchestra which made the music tell the story. Lighting Light-ing effects and costuming were beautiful, the sound system near perfect. If you plan to attend only one Centennial attraction, make it "Promised Valley." It has everything. every-thing. Oh yes, there's one more thing. The production lasts three hours, so take along a cushion. County Surveyor Reports on Road Projects Utah county has oiled 18-4 miles of roads this season and graveled 57, county officials said Saturday." County Surveyor Hugo Price said the oiling of several more miles is definitely contemplated, with others being considered. Oiled so far this year is the following: Hobble Creek - Lake 3.2 miles; Springville- Lake Shore road 4 8; West Mountain and from Payson to Keigley, three miles; Payson canyon four miles; American Pork training school road 2.4, and Manila .one mile: The seal coat remains to be laid on all of the foregoing. Mr. Price said the county also al-so intends to oil .45 of a mile on the Rock Canyon road from Ashton's corner to Rock canyon and two miles between American Ameri-can Fork and Lehi on a county road running on the north side of U. S. 91. All of the oiling is to be an 18-foot width, with some 20 feet. County commissioners said Saturday the county road department de-partment has graveled 57 miles of county roads so far this year. Last year about four miles of oiled road and approximately 60 of gravel were laid in the county. J iu urn oommm law The railroads have received" 44 "rules" demands from the leaders of the operating oper-ating unions . . . representing engineers, engi-neers, firemen, conductors, trainmen and switchmen. They say they are Eeeking only changes in working conditions con-ditions not a wage increase. More Money For Less Work But what kind of rules are being asked for? Twenty-eight of them would compel railroads to pay more money for the same, or less work; 7 would require additional and unnecessary un-necessary men to do the same work: the rest would bring about changes in operating practices at Increased cost. . For Instance: The Union leaders demand additional train and engine crews on Diesel-powered trains one full crew for every power unit in the locomotive. A freight tiin hauled by a 4-miit Diesel would have to carry 4 engineer.-?, 4 firemen, 4 conductors, and at least 8 bral.emen, or a total of 20 men instead of 5. "Made Work" Sheer Waste L The Union leaders demand that full-ler.i;th full-ler.i;th freight trains be cut to about half their length, even though such traui3 are most efficient for low-cost service to you. This rule would call for twico as many locomotives, would double the number of trains, and maka accidents more likely. Additional equipment, yards, and other facilities required to take care of these short trains would cost hundreds of millions. What the Union leaders really want is to make more jobs. The Union leaders demand that when a crew in one cla.3 of service perform incidental service of another class, they will be paid not less than a day's pay for each class, aven though all servic fe performed as a part of the f ime day'i 1 f. s.. tfk . k "a3 fc --at-JL? r"" ' - "". r - vr i 1 work. The crew would get at least ttvo days' pay for one day's work. The Union leaders demand that tha present basic day for passenger con ductors and trainmen be reduced from 150 to 100 miles, which would have the effect of increasing their pay 50. Such a run often takes only two or three hours! You Can't Afford This Waste Demands like these are against the interests of the whole American people, who depend on railroad service serv-ice for nearly everything they eat, wear and use. These rules would cost A billion dol-LAKS dol-LAKS annually a gigantic waste which neither the railroads nor the country can afford. Railroad workers are good citizens and good employes, with pride in their calling. Their record during the war was outstanding. We do not believe they fully understand the "featherbed" rules which the Union leaders are demanding. de-manding. We do not bclievo they understand the harmful results which these rules would have to the railroad industry, to the millions of men and women dependent on railroads for the ir livelihood, and to the shipping and consuming con-suming public. The great strength of America is in production an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. For only tlirough greater production can we hope to stop the steady upward surge of living costs. Surely, if ever there was a tinic in our history when we needed to worki not waste, this is it. : I' 1S VIST 4iHI STRUT CHICAGO I, ILLINOIS Wa are puHihL-jr I" " and other dverUoflmpr.is to talk with you at first f'"d ftO'U matters which ar iirp-.nant to everybody.

Field Note on Utah Water Fowl By Nolan Nelson The question that flashed into the minds of many hunters last fall was where have the ducks gone? They Jiad reason ask this in Utah, as well as in any other part of the country; because the kill was down over 30 percent from the previous season. This spring reports from the Fish and Wildlife Service census have placed waterfowl numbers at a crucial level which means a reduced re-duced season and bag limit for this fall. Waterfowl using Ogden Bay Refuge for nesting couldn't read these reports, so they returned in even greater numbers this year. This is especially true of geese. Last year 45 nesting pair produced 182 geese at Ogden Bay.. This year 72 nesting pair produced 302 geese, which represents re-presents a 60 percent increase over last year. In la38 there were only 24 nesting pair, which means a 200 percent increase in the last nine years. A nesting study made on a portion por-tion of the north side of Unit One at Ogden Bay Refuge revealed re-vealed only 120 duck nests- A samilar study this year on approximately ap-proximately one third of this area has revealed over 180 nests so far. There is no accurate method of computing the actual increase from the above sample but it surely represents a substantial sub-stantial increase . The hunters then ask "Just what does the small number of waterfowl produced on our refuges re-fuges do toward providing bet ter hunting this fall? We get most of our ducks produced up north in Canada and the refuges serve at attractive feeding and resting areas which provides good hunting." It is true that the big portion of our ducks are produced in the northern breeding breed-ing areas but one can't go on drawing on this reserve, with more and more hunters, and expect ex-pect the population to hold up. Banding studies have shown that the biggest percent of the geese killed jn Utah are raised in Utah and Southern Idaho, and we raise enough ducks on our refuges to supply a good part of our hunters. Our refuges in Utah supply more than feeding and resting tereas for migrating waterfowl, or an attractive hunting area each fall. They also serve to produce pro-duce a good stock of birds each spring rather than depend on Canada or northern U. S. for our entire supply for the I Other states not fcrt enough to have marshland v . ducks could produce each yc T, or where the breeding pcpu! tion has been killed off ,kci very poor hunting last fall i can't expect as good this f.1. The breeding population can ta expected to increase in Utah with the continual improvements and expansion being carried ca at the watrfowl refuges; therefor, there-for, we are assuring our hunters hunt-ers of a fair supply of birds even though some seasons may bring a drastic reduction in our northern nor-thern breeding grounds. This summer the U. S. Navy hopes to send Dr. Jean Ficcard 100,000 feet into the stratosphere stratos-phere to study scientific phenomena.
