Monument Attracts Visitor A major sight-seeing attraction attrac-tion of Salt Lake City is the "This Is The Place" monument on me cuys east bench. During the cool of the evening hundreds hund-reds of tourists and Utahns flock 10 me area. As the crowds walk around the huge monument reading the inscriptions in-scriptions and studying the fig ures, a refreshing breeze comes out of Emigration canyon. Utahns visiting the monument for the first time admit they are deeply moved by the majesty of the scene and the manner in which a (significant historical story is told. Tourists from out-of-state photograph the monument from several angles; they admire it, they like it, and they declare they are thrilled to be able to visit the place where western history is told in such an engaging en-gaging manner. Ogden Looks to Winter Sports Admitting that the first year and a half operation of the Og-den Og-den Snow Basin has been a paying pay-ing proposition, the Ogden City commission is now contemplating contemplat-ing the possibility of extending the Snow Basin Ski lift to the top of Mount Ogden. The present pres-ent lift is one mile long and constitutes con-stitutes a spectacular ride. To extend this lift another mile would undoubtedly make Snow Basin the most important skiing ski-ing area in Utah. Utahns Love Ice Cream The consumption of ice cream in Utah during 1946 was one million gallons more than in 1945, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. All in all, some 3,147,000 gallons of ice cream was manufactured in Utah during dur-ing last year which topped the record for several years past. Limburger cheese was produced produc-ed in 1946 for the first time in Utah and totaled 1,000 pounds. Utah cheese production increased increas-ed slightly from 9,352,000 pounds to 10,085,000 pounds during 1946.

Twentieth Centurv Fox Eyes Utah Twentieth Century Fox has applied to the Utah Department of Publicity and Industrial Development De-velopment for complete data on Utah. They need, they said, an intimate knowledge of the state. They have asked for a general weather report covering the last ten years, including the months of rain, a report on the seasons and the months in which sun shine may be expected and how much sunshine. They also want maps, pictures, charts, pamphlets and outlines on every phase of Utah, its in dustrial, cultural, and education al life, along with a list of the towns, cities, populations, etc. They also point out that with in the last year they have sent more companies to Utah on location lo-cation than any other studio in Hollywood and that the data they have requested will be help ful in bringing additional motion picture companies to Utah. Needless to say, the data is be ing prepared for forwarding to Hollywood.

But, nevertheless, it really works! (And we wish to thank the contributors con-tributors who sent in the suggestion.) We wonder how many of the 14 million automobiles auto-mobiles being driven in the nation with defective brakes are in Lehi? According to information revealed re-vealed in a cross-country inspection of cars, these figures show that one-half of the passenger cars in use today have inefficient brakes. Before the war, safety inspections showed that although 25 percent of the cars were only one or two years old, one-third of them had defective brakes. Now, only 10 percent are comparatively new models, 40 percent are from 3 to 9 years old, and 50 per cent are 10 or more years old, with owners reluctant reluct-ant to finance extensive repairs. How are YOUR brakes? While driving through our city this week, we noted with pride that there are more colorful gardens gar-dens seen than ever before. The more brilliant colorings col-orings are in rampant abundance now, making our community a true beauty spot. With all this beauty surrounding us, would it not be a fine gesture ges-ture for those who fortunate, through their "own effort and diligence, to possess such beautiful blooms to place a display from their gardens in a prominent spot at each of our public gatherings and church meetings? Everyone loves beauty, and man a meeting has been made more memorable when lovely blooms have been present Now that tax assessments are being made aain, we are reminded of that old story about the strong man at the county fair who squeezed the juice out of a lemon with his hand. Holding it up before the crowd, he shouted: "I'll give five dollars to anyone who can squeeze another drop out of this lemon!" Up stepped a little man, he gripped the lemon, and to the surprise of the crowd, squeezed out several drops. "It's easy," he murmured, 'Tm a tax collector." -1 J- 1 -1 M Agriculture Exhibits Are Interesting Lester L. Russon, Lehi dancer danc-er of Metropolitan Opera Ballet and Broadway show fame, has accepted a position posi-tion as teacher of Russian and Italian ballet classes at the McCune School of Music in Salt Lake City beginning in September. Citizens Are i Urged To Prevent Polio Two carloads of U. S. Department Depart-ment of Agriculture exhibits are being placed at the Utah Centennial Centen-nial Exposition at Salt Lake City Utah. In the eight colorful dioramas dio-ramas of the History of American Agriculture exhibit, visitors will get a picture of the great progress made by American farmers. This is ilustrated by advances made in the quality and yields of corn, the improvement of dairy cows and poultry, and the efficiency of farm machinery and equipment. The ex hibit credits these great advances to the initiative and resourcefulness resourceful-ness of American farmers, plus the efforts of research scientists in their behalf. The exhibit also states that there is still great opportunity op-portunity for improvement, which will take place as rapidly as new facta are developed and applied. Ears of corn representing the primitive types grown by the Indians Ind-ians are contrasted with modern hybrid corn developed through research re-search and now grown by more than 80 percent of commercial erowers. One diorama shows the methods of corn culture used by the Hopi Indians and a second diorama dio-rama depicts modern corn raising.

Rev. Webber's sermon ser-mon contained both scriptural and poetic selections concluding with the reading of the poem, "Crossing The Bar." Mrs. D. R.

Gebhardt, professor of Bacter iology at the University or Utah, lists a few simple precautions that Darents should take in safe guarding their children from the disease. . Observation of these nractical rules will lessen the possibility of your child becoming a polio victim: . - " . r, " 1. A child under ten should get not less than ten hours of sleen. 2. He should avoid fatigue and chilling. Too strenuous exercise will cause the virus to "sting like a wasp if it happens to be in the nose or throat. 3. An adequate diet should be given. 4. Keep flies away from food. Children should not eat out-of-doors if flies are in evidence. All foods that are eaten raw should be first washed with soap and water. 5. The child's hands should al ways be washed before eating, even before eating bread and butter or an apple in-between meals. 6. Don't allow children to play m areas where sewage may ne a problem. 7. SDrav Earbaee cans with D. D.T. to help eliminate flies and always keep a lid on garbage cans. Dr. Gebhardt also advises parents par-ents to be watchful for illnesses that are marked by fever, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting or stiffness of the neck; it may be nolio. "Do not try to diag nose symptoms' yourselves,' warns Dr. Gebhardt, "Consult a doctor!" Despite the severity of a first degree case of polio, parents par-ents should beware of panic and remember that in Utah's worst epidemic, in 1943 only four in a thousand children were polio patients, and of these, only a fraction were paralyzed or died. The crinoline effects of polio can be minimized and even elimin ated in some cases if prompt attention at-tention from a qualified physician physic-ian is procured," reported Dr. Gebhardt. It is cleanliness, a watchful eye and a cool heaa that, will rir the most in com bating polio beyond the ward rooms of a hospital.
