Protests Nevada Highway Signs A letter of protest has been sent to the Nevada State Highway High-way Commission and chambers of commerce of several Nevada cities by Commissioner Rulon S. Howells of the P. I. D., calling attention to several misleading highway signs on Highway 91 between be-tween Las Vegas and Glendale Junction, Nevada. The signs urge travelers to take U.

S. 93 because of the unethical road signs in Nevada.

In the meantime the commission is pondering the situation sit-uation in view of the fact that each year boating is becoming increasingly popular on Utah Lake. The problem is not only Pro-vo's Pro-vo's but is being met in other Utah locations, it is pointed out. Each summer finds overloaded boats operating without life preservers pre-servers on Bear Lake, Pineview Lake, Strawberry Reservoir, Panguitch Lake and many other Utah reservoirs and lakes. It is reported that more than one thousand boats are owned by as many Utahns, who move them to various lakes on trailers eaih summer for fishing and pleasure boating.

It is about a year since Roy Rogers' wife died leaving a family of three little children (two girls and a boy). We believe most of his fans gave approval when he was married this week to Miss Dale Evans who was his associate in so many of the delightful western pictures. One of the requisites that Roy demanded, for his wedding reception was that there should be no kissing of the bride nor would he under any conditions kiss the bride in public. His reason wa "I am not going to let the boys and girls down." Roy has always lived off the screen as well as on the screen, a very temperate and Christian life which he felt could be emulated by the boys and girls to whom he has become a hero. What we have said of Roy Rogers' fine Christian life could be said of hundreds of others of the actors and actresses in Hollywood. Unfortunately it is the bad ones that often get the publicity.
