Spotlighting XJ T AH What Happened At Ilite The official opening and dedl cation of the Hanksville-Hite Bridtftg road project a scenic routewto a hitherto isolated southern Utah area was held at Hite, September 17th. The road, promoted and paid for by the Utah Department of Publicity and Industrial Development, provides pro-vides access to mineral deposits, new farm lands, range lands, and some of Utah's little known, but spectacular scenic areas. The road provides a loop route through the Wayne Wonderland to the Colorado River ferry crossing cross-ing at Hite, and thence to the National Bridges, Blanding, Mon-ticello, Mon-ticello, Moab, the Arches National Monument, and back north. More than three hundred residents resi-dents of San Juan, Wayne and Garfield counties were in attendance attend-ance at the program, held in the shade of fig, pomegranate and cottonwood trees, on Arthur Chaffin's ranch at Hite. Building Access Roads Governor Herbert B. Maw in an inspiring talk before the group, said some pertinent things relative the Publicity Department's Depart-ment's building of access roads into scenic, industrial and mineralized min-eralized regions, some of which are given as follows: "I am going go-ing to tell you about a problem here. Ever since I can remember remem-ber I have heard people talk, as they have today, about the parts of Utah that someday will be visited by tourists who will come from all over the world .... the more I go through this State, the more I am convinced of this. "But what chance has a tourist of getting to see any of it? When you come right down to it, so far as I am able to see, neither the state, nor the counties, nor the cities have ever done anything up to now to make, possible for the tourist to see' anything that we actually have. Instead, it has been necessary for the state, the county, and the city government govern-ment to put their road building money into highways to get from town to town not in opening and developing scenic areas. A Horse For Every Tourist "The only places the tourist can really visit is Temple Square in Salt Lake City, and Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon, so where else can a' tourist go unless un-less he gets on a horse? It is true that we have the most wonderful won-derful scenery in the entire nation, na-tion, but we have never done anything toward making it possible pos-sible for a visitor to get in and see it. Because of that condi tion, soon after I became Gov- erner, I wrote the bill which created the Department of Publicity Pub-licity and Industrial Development. Develop-ment. In that bill, it is provided that one of the responsibilities of that Department was to de velop State Parks and roads into those parks and to promote the industrial phase of Utah life. When that bill was presented to the legislature, it was passed with none or few dissenting votes. "Then came the war and the Department was not able to do much along the lines of its responsibilities until the war's end. Would Influence Legislature Now the Department is financed fin-anced in this way: The money we all spend for automobile license li-cense plates creates a fund that goes to the State Tax Commission, Commis-sion, and after the collection costs are met $800,000.00 is distributed dis-tributed to the cities and counties coun-ties for use on Class B and C roads, the remainder, which amounts to about $300,000.00 goes to the Department of Publicity and Industrial Development When the next legislature meets, it is going to be faced by an organized effort from different groups opposed to having money spent on access highways. Trucking Truck-ing organizations and clubs will be organized to convince the legislature that the Publicity Department De-partment should not receive money to build access roads into scenic areas. Propaganda Misinforming "To hear the propaganda on diversion of road funds, one becomes misinformed. There is no division of road funds for any purpose; the only so-called diversion di-version Is the use of license plate money for the operation of the Publicity Department, which in turn spends it on scenic roads like this. . . - right now, this license li-cense plate money is being spent to build a road over the original Mormon Pioneer Trail into Utah, a road that will be part of the great centennial celebration. That is where the license nlat.e money is going; that is the type oi expenditure call diversion of funds. May Never Get Roads To Scenic Area "The legislature will bp wnrkpri on very hard to take the money away from the Publicity Department. Depart-ment. If so. we will nevpr c-pt. roads into these isolated scenic areas. Now that is the situation, yet you read where some of the organized erouns do not want money spent on highways to ocemc areas, it is the purpose of the Publicity Department to see to it that roads are built into our scenic areas in Utah, into historical spots and scenic attractions so that they can advertise ad-vertise to the world that here is the finest recreation area in the nation and invite tourists to come here by automobile. Tourist Cash For Utah "Right now, 2,000,000 tourists will have entered Utah this vpar But where do they go? They just make a bee-line coming from the east to Salt Lake City and the Temple Square. They spend a half day there, just long enough to hear the Organ and then they get into their cars and make a bee-line to California. A few go to Bryce and Zion canyons. can-yons. One day is the average length of time they spend in Utah, never more than two days. What would it mean to the people peo-ple of this State if we could keep them one day more? The average aver-age automobile load is about three persons. They spend on an average of $25.00 per day per car. If we had roads through our scenic areas and provided places where they can go and stay a day, they could visit and enjoy the wonderful places we have. If we could get one million automobiles automo-biles to remain in the State one extra day, they would leave $25,-000.000.00 $25,-000.000.00 with our cities. Where do they spend their money? It goes to hotel people, the restaurants, restau-rants, service stations, merchants etc. That money is distributed wider and further than most any money that is spent. We have been working on statistics and instead of a million automobiles, we should have no less than five million if we get our proper share of the traveling public and they should never go in and outVith-out outVith-out spending an average of one week in Utah What the Publicity Department Has Done "Here is what the Publicity Department De-partment has done in the last year and a half: They allocated $200,000.00 for the Pioneer Trail road constructed from Henefer. There is a pioneer trail association associa-tion that is willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on advertising ad-vertising if we will build the road. Enough money will be spent by the national organization to pay for it within two or three years through national advertising advertis-ing without our paying a dime on advertising if we will just build that road. In Weber County "Up in Weber County there is a basin east of Ogden called the Snow Basin. Why it is just the most natural basin in the world for recreational activities. It can be converted into a ' world rer.riffnized center, but no one ever used it for anything until the Publicity Department built a road up there. Now it has become be-come a tremendous recreational center. Next year, some of the national ski events will take place there. It could not have been developed if the Publicity Department had not done it.

This club has planned a Hobo party for its members to be held at a secret place on Thursday, October 3, 1946. A prize will be given for the "most realistic Hobo". It has been suggested by students stu-dents that we have a Forensic Club to develop such activities as Speech, Debate, Etc., as an extra ex-tra curricular activity. It bears looking into. Last fall, due to the failure of the students to put candidates for cheerleaders, school has gone until now without any. Joyce Singleton, Carma Gray, and Elaine Adamson have been nom inated for the office along with three other girls, LaRae Kirkham, LuJean Peterson and Charlene Hanson. May the best man win. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Beckel (Marie Fjeld) of Price called at the Andrew Fjeld home on Tuesday. Barber Asphalt Company built a big plant twenty miles from Vernal for processing asphalt, employing a hundred men, and they were shipping it into Colora do. The people in Colorado were getting the benefit of our industrial indus-trial ore because there was no road from the plant into Utah. We went out there and had a road built up to Highway 40 with the Publicity Department funds. This company has now established establish-ed its general offices in Salt Lake City. They said, 'We will do a minimum of a million dollars of buying here in the state of Utah now that we have our headquarters headquart-ers here.' We never could have obtained this road if the Publicity Depart ment had not utilized their funds. Give It Time "I can take you into industrial areas of this State, into scenic attractions, into places where industries in-dustries can be established that will bring tremendous prosperity to our State if that Department; is left undisturbed by the legislature. legis-lature. They must be given time to develop areas that have not been developed and help people who have been pioneering this' State, and that is exactly what the Publicity Department is trying try-ing to do."

By Leatha Carson Friday the Thirteenth seemed to be the beginning of bad luck for three Fairfield boys. On this fateful day Ronald Carson had the misfortune to break his collar col-lar bone, and one week later his brother, Gene, broke his left arm in two places above the wrist when he fell from a horse. Just half an hour after Gene's accident, acci-dent, his cousin, Keith Dlllree, broke his left arm in a fall from a fence, with the same type of fracture Gene had suffered. All three boys are convalescing rather rath-er quietly. Ronald and Gene are son of Mr. and Mrs. Elvin Carson. Car-son.
