"Let's make it a $15,-000,000,000 $15,-000,000,000 business." they say. In view of the fact that Utah has 24 major scenic, attractions,, and more than 123 minor scenic attractions at-tractions and Is located on the cross rpads of the nation, the Utah Department of Publicity and Industrial Development is heartily in accord with the suggestion. sug-gestion. The Scripps-Howard people mention Ralph Towle, high American Express Company official and his 1941 prophecy. Said Mr. Towle: This 5 or 6 billion bil-lion dollar travel bill of the American people Is nothing com-: com-: pared .with ..what. ,it will , he. , 10 years from now. I estimate it will be ten billion annually." Garth Cate, nationally recognized travel expert predicts that Amer leans will spend 10 billion dollars for vacation travel in 1946. Utah's l48th would amount to 208-mllllon 208-mllllon something to reach for. Highly significant are questions ques-tions the Scripps-Howard people ask: "Why have we been work ing lor the last ,yeax, (and. jerx successfully) to interest the department de-partment stores in the sales-making potentials in basing year-around year-around merchandise promotions on recreational travel?" "Why have we suggested that basic amateur photography be taught in high schools? "Why have we presented the new trends in vaca tions, the up-surge In hunting fishing, camping?" Because, they say : "We believe that vastly increased recreational travel will spread employment in all trades and professions, and create employment in the service and. .transportation trades, and thus cushion the shock when the 'postwar' production boom . is over: that it can be a major con tribution to the maintenance of full-employment. We believe that 15 billion dollars spent vol untarily by the people of the U. S. in recreational pursuits would be more effective than 30 billion dollars spent by the Government in 'make work' " Utah Racing Association Formed The development of horse racing rac-ing in Utah is promised by the Utah Racing Association, an organization or-ganization formed at Richfield. Tentative dates have been set for twelve 1946 meets throughout the state, and the Association will make rules to regulate track con ditions, promote the breeding of I better racing stock, etc. Towns represented at the Association's .charter meeting included, Salt Lake City, Logan, Provo, Murray, Richfield, Beaver, Kanab, Pan-guitch, Pan-guitch, Payson, Parowan, Fillmore Fill-more and Manti. .
