"Gold" Fish Siill at Large With the fishing season closed clos-ed indications are that there are' plenty of fish that have not been caught yet. Of the 500 cash-prize cash-prize trout tagged and planted by the Fish and Game Commiss ion and KSL only 218 were caught leaving 282 tagged trout out of the 500 in the streams and lakes of Utah unranoht in the 1948 season. On the 218 fish caught anglers received cash prizes from KSL ranging from late motor fuel taxes.

The Moab Lions Clug are waging the same campaign and soliciting support of a bill they will introduce in Congress to have the Arches National Monument raised to the status of a National Park. If the scen ic section can be raised to the rating of a national park definite defin-ite appropriations will be ear marked for the Arches which should hasten an improvement of the roads and facilities of the Monument. The contention is that the scenic attractions in the Arches are recognized as fully justifying their being developed into a national park. It is interesting to note that travel in the Monument for the month of September totaled 577 cars and 1404 people which brings the total for the travel year up to 2995 cars and 8520 people. Thie is an increase of almost al-most 100 percent over 1947 accountable ac-countable largely to the fact that approximately eleven miles of new roads, opening up a new section at a cost of about $19,-000.00, $19,-000.00, were constructed within the Monument by the joint effort eff-ort of Grand County and the Department De-partment of Publicity and Industrial In-dustrial Development.

X LIBRARY NOTES Believe it or not, the cost of borrowing a book from the Or-em Or-em library hasn't increased one penny sirce the library opened! As a matter of fact it doesn't even cost a penny to borrow a book. Regular library patrons are enjoying the least expensive form of recreation and enter-tain;:.ent enter-tain;:.ent available today that of reading good books. Everyone pays taxes to maintain main-tain the library, and therefore everyone should take advantage of the vast lore of books of every ev-ery description to brighten his spare time and increase his understanding un-derstanding of the world about him. Here is a book now on the Orem library shelves which has been praised by the critics and public alike: GOLDEN APPLES by Mar- jorie Kinnan Rawlings. Luke and Allie Brinley, homeless home-less and penniless young waifs of the Florida swamp country, settle on a 'foriegner's" land and take over the ramshackle hut to make a home and living .or themselves. They are making mak-ing a moderate success of their venture when the "foreigner" steps into the picture. He is Kieharo. Tordell, an embittered young Englishman who has been sent away from his home and who is inexpressibly shocked shock-ed by the sight of his "estate" and the living conditions which seem so satisfactory to Luke and Allie. How the three of them combine forces to work out their various destinies makes a beautiful and believable story, touched with tragedy, lightened with love, and saturated with the strange, luxuriant atmos phere of the swamp country.
