Plan-. ning Conference, held in Little Rock, Ark., in recent days, was "Main Street - 1969". The year 1969 refer, red to the scheduled completion of the 41,000 mile interstate in-terstate highway system. The purpose of the conference con-ference was to enunciate and broadcast to all America Ameri-ca a clear concept of the forces that are already at work creating the Main Streets of the future. Perhaps the most dramatic explanation of what is happening is that of Elmer F. Twyman, vice president presi-dent of Yale & Towne, who told the conference that America is being "rediscovered". "In the adventure of rediscovery," he said, "we are finding that there is land in all parts of our great country . where industry can be established and where it can flourish ; we are finding that everywhere there are men and women with skill aptitude & for even the most complex industrial tasks. Our system of com munkation and transportation have narrowed the expenses ex-penses of time and space. Nothing is distant any more and all Americans are neighbors." Mr. Twyman noted that "the continuing dispersal disper-sal of industry, away from large, concentrated centers" cen-ters" strengthens our defense and security in this atomic age, but even more important is its influence on economic growth. This decentralization, he said, "is equalizing prosperity for all". , The dispersal program of his own company has resulted thusfar in three new plants in small towns in Virginia and Tennessee, with others under construction construc-tion in Arkansas, California and North Carolina, so he should know whereof he speaks. "We found the strength of people," he said." small-twn AmerL cans are generous,' hospitable and neighborly - good people to be among and good people to work with We found stability among people ih small towns -the stability that comes from nearness to the earth - They are purposeful and direct and proud of their capacities." ' - But what are the other advantages that industra- : lists look for in seeking new plant sites? Mr. Twyman Twy-man lists them as: "good transportation, good communications, com-munications, nearness to raw materials and services, and a strong welcome and spirit of cooperation from officials and civic leaders". Our people measure up. But how do we stand on other factors?

"The handicaps that shape human life," says Mr. Fosdick, "take many forms - poverty, deformity, de-formity, ill health, and unhappy environment. In the case of John D. Rockfeller, Jr., the handicap was wealth - a stifling kind of wealth that might have sapped his energies and blighted (his life." Briefly, the Digest story is that of a man born to adversity who rose to greatness. by Rep William A. Dawson NO HURRY. . . While I favor eventual private recreation developments de-velopments under proper regulation regu-lation in the Glen Canyon area, I feel that Utah should not be in too great a hurry to dispose of state-owned school land uear the reservoir. This would be particularly unwise until the National Park Service has time to survey the area and deter mine just what lands should be reserved for the use of all the public. This survey is provided for in legislation I have sponsored sponsor-ed to establish a Glen Canyon Recreation Area. PAST MISTAKES . We in the Upper Basin States can profit from oversights that have complicated com-plicated public recreation development de-velopment at Lake Mead.

PRIVATE USE .... After the proposed federal reclamation area recommendations have been submitted to Congress and the state it may well be that private pri-vate development of recreation facilities on state lands would be desirable. Certainly the Fed eral Government should not go RICH BOY LICKS WEALTII. Shortly before he died in i937 at 98 years of age, John D. Rockfeller, "the richest man in the world", declared: "My greatest fortune in life has been my son." And in the story of that son. I "John D. Rockfeller, Jr..: A Portrait" Author Raymond B. Fosdick tells us this fatherly pride was excited above all else el-se by the prodigious, devoted and effective efforts of John D. Jr. to keep the Rockfeller millions mil-lions going out as fast as they came in! The book, which is condensed in the July issue of the Reader's Digest, relates that the younger Rockfeller, who did not like-business, decided at 36 to divest himself as far as he could of business responsibilities and devote himself to spending money Instead of making it. His challenge may well have been the Jovian prophecy made to his father by Frederick T. Gates, an old family friend and former Baptist minister. "Your fortune, " Gates had thundered at John D., "is rolling up like an avalanche! You must distribute it faster than it grows! II you do not, it will crush you and your children and your children's chil-dren's children!" Whatever the cause, the Rockfeller bounties which John D. had begun when a clerk In his teens, and which by the ear ly 1900's included the founding of the University of Chicago, gained new impetus and grew -hundreds of millions upon hund reds of millions. They were given giv-en to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, the General Gen-eral Education Board, the Rock-eral Rock-eral Education Board, Rockefeller Rocke-feller Sanitary Commission - which eradicated hookworm In the South - the International with malaria, yellow fever and other dread diseases throughout the world. . Still more Rockefeller mil lions went Into the restoration of the Palace of Versailles and liamsburg, and fo rthe site of ANNE OVESON HOSPITALIZED Little Anne Oveson,' daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilford Oveson, spent three days in Utah Valley Hospital last week. She under went tests to determine what was the nature of her illness. She is doing fine now. .1 visit Lake Mead annually, as a result, the recreation develop ment was haphazard and spotty. Lands that should have been re served for public use were used for other purposes. Legislation to correct this oversight at Lake Mead has finally been introduc ed. But correction is a much more difficult job than prevention. preven-tion. SURVEY UNDERWAY . . In anticipation of action on my legislation, the National Park Service has four experts In the Glen Canyon area surveying the recreation needs. These are John S. Mosley and Fred Lejssler, landscape architects; James Thomson, forest recreation advisor, ad-visor, and Edward F. Bullard, cartographic draftsmen. I think the state should wait until their expert report can be considered before selling statje land for private development. REVENUE EFFECT ....
