On rA hem had a haoDY. sunny nature. She was affectionate, demonstrative, and her parenta were very proud of her. And certainly with reason. The other little girl wa? quiet, taciturn, shy. She even looked somewhat tmhappy most of the time. You couw see a youthful gleam of envy aa she watched her sister win her way with everyone. I noticed that when the father suggested that the two little girls go out with him, that the second little girl hesitated, hung back. So the father and the happy little girl went off together and ahe stayed at home and D. Caraifte amused herBelf with her dolls. "We wish Ellie wouldn't be like that," said tl e mother; "she will never be as happy as Becky," The other day V. Verlin Morris, Bartville, Ohio, told me a story that brought to my mind those two little girls in Missouri: "I have two little girls," he said, "one seven, the other four. Two years ago the older girl became ill at various times. The doctor checked and found nothing wrong with her physically. But she continued to be ill, ran a temperature frequently of 102 i degrees. "The two children were of different types, the younger one far more responsive than the older one, and I think both my wife and I paid more attention to the little one. But one day when the little one was asleep, I read stories to the older one, acted out the parts, made her laugh and enjoy them. Soon she climbed on my lap and became affectionate. affec-tionate. Suddenly she said, 'Daddy, I like you.' "This opened my eyes; the child was hungry for affection and attention. Instantly I made a pledge that never again should that child feel that she was of no importance in our home. Thankful that what I had learned had come early in her life. She stopped being fretful, stopped running a temperature. ' Today both my little girls have a happy attitude, both have smiling, happy faces." . I don't know what has happened to the little girl back in Missouri, but 1 hope that her parents, too, learned early in her e what Mr. Morris learned. ; ; orado Interests are working for the Greenriver location. The Greenriver site has the backing of the Colorado delegation delegat-ion In Washington owing to the fact that the establishment of the plant at Greenriver would be highly beneficial to the Grand Junction, Colorado area. In the meantime, Wyoming and Nevada are fishing for the same project. The establishment of the huge air force development center cen-ter will be a near community of some 5,000 persons with a high quality of scientific per-sonel. per-sonel. Living conditions must be of a high standard, including good facilities for shopping, recreation re-creation and other needs of a complete community life. The center itself, will constitute a scientific plant expected to lend itself to the requirements of supersonic flight, the testing of rockets and supersonic aircraft-Supersonic aircraft-Supersonic research development develop-ment facilities would ineude two wind tunnels and an altlt- tude chamber for testing jet en gines under high altitude conditions. The project requires the use f 1,300,000 kilowatts of electrical elec-trical which wil be required for the project at its peak. It also cals for a mild climate, good labor market and accessible to other armed forces installations. It is pointed by interested Ut ahns that available power sites in Utah on the Colorado River could suply the electrical energy required for the project. Speed to Rule Again On Bonneville Bonne-ville Sail Flats Utah's famous Bonneville Salt Flats, where all the world's records for the straight track and the circle track have been established will soon echo the roar of high speed automobiles as speed demons again go into action. J. A. Theobald, recently named nam-ed by Governor J. Bracken Lee to head a committee for the appearance ap-pearance on the flats of Ab Jenkins, Utah's ace speed record breaker, points out that the Salt Flats can be made a major tourist tour-ist attraction in Utah; that scheduled speed events each summer could be the means of drawing and holding thousands Leon Rowley underwent an operation on Monday morning morn-ing at Utah Valley hospital.

Ab Jenkins has announced he is planning to move his famous fam-ous racing car from the Capitol Building prior to July 24th, when it will be used in "Days of '47" parade, and hopes to have the Mormon Meteor III ready for an assault on the speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats by September 1. In the meantime, plans are being be-ing made for speed runs on the Salt Flats by special built 'hot rods", stock cars and motorcycles. motor-cycles. Out-Of-Siaie Sign Boards Attract Attention Two tourists from "Michigan have written the Utah Publicity Department asking for more information in-formation on Utah after seeing a Utah Publicity Department sign board while passing through Idaho. The Publicity Department Depart-ment has six such signs in surrounding sur-rounding states pointing out the advantages of seeing and visiting i Utah's major scenic attractions. The tourists who were in Utah tnis summer said in tneir letter: "We njoyd Utah very much, the accomodations were excellent. excell-ent. We learned of your department depart-ment after seeing one of your sign boards in Idaho, and decided decid-ed to write for more information informat-ion on the state. We would appreciate ap-preciate full information on the town of Ophir and your irrigation irrigat-ion system in Utah." The Michigan folks also pointed point-ed out that they asked many questions in Pleasant Grove a-bout a-bout Ophir, but found no one who had ever heard of the place. All of which indicates, pofnts out the Utah Publicity Department, Depart-ment, that Utahns should be able to answer all questions pertaining per-taining to their state. Automobile Traffic Climbs Ahead of Last Year Automobile travel Is climbing well ahead of last year, according accord-ing to reports from individual auto clubs throughout the country, it is announced from the American Auto Association headquarters. An official spokesman spokes-man declares tha travel by pri-vaate pri-vaate automobile "is exceeding everybody's expectations " This spokesman also reported tHat present indications point to a 'r'unaway travel year." Routings handled by major AAA clubs are from 10 to 20 percent above last year, and there is evidence ev-idence that travelers are taking longer trips. AAA sources also say that there are some signs of price softening on accomodations in a few areas, chiefly in the southwest, south-west, but as yet no general price cutting. Air travel is booming again. Traffic thus far during 1949 has climbed from 16 to 18 percent ahead of the first half of 1948, and some carriers are reporting a load factor of 80 to 85 percent on some of their main routes. Foreign Countries Compete for U. S- Tourist Dollar Foreign nations, anxious to get their share of the U. S. tourist tour-ist dollar are going all out to attract the American traveler. For example, the South African railways are making available 16mm sound films in color, showing scenic attractions and tourist resorts. To offset this competition, the National Association of Travel Officials have compiled a directory direct-ory listing all American sound films available made to promote the vacation business or recreational recreat-ional travel. Among these listed, are the sound films distributed by the Utah State Department of Publicity and which have had a tremendous bearing and Jnllu- ence on the present tourist in flux into Utah.
