Utah Graduate Student Featured In TV Special The road route into Dark Canyon and Canyonlands National Park and the part played in the deter- mination of that route by Utah State graduate student Gary Smith will be examined in the 3M Special "Three Young Americans: In Search of Survival," to be present' ed on Monday, March 17, 9:00-11:00 9:00-11:00 p.m., EST on ABC-TV (7:00-9:00 (7:00-9:00 MST). Gary and his studies of the over- lapping responsibilities by federal agencies in laying out the develop- ment of wilderness areas will com- prise a portion of the program, which deals with efforts being, made by Individuals in upgrading the quality of our total environment environ-ment in this country. The no'-'niial of the wilderness area in the central part of Utah is tremendous, Smith feels, if it's developed right. "Hnvincj worked in some of the best places in the United St."fos. in my opinion this will ibe one of the greatest recrea-tioon recrea-tioon areas we have," he said. Smith went on to describe the area. "We haw tonography thpre from 13.000 feet down to 3,500 feet. We h?ve tremendous sweeping sweep-ing vistas visul impnet and n ma?rnificant archeological area. There's Lake Powell for wa'r ski-j ski-j intr and fishins. plenty of canyons for hiking nd, of course, big gme hunting. The world s only wild buffalo herd is in Utah. The opportunities for recreation the.'e are virtually endless." That the area will be developed eventually is pretty well taken for granted. Smith's studies have I pointed out that decisions to alter the natural formation and beauty i ui wimciiic.ia oicaa, uji-t: iancu, are irreversible. His guide lines to coordinate the work of federal agencies hnve been brought to the attention of the Department of Interior, :s the television program will point out. Though a man who loves to rough it himself, Smith feels that mining, lumbering and other commercial com-mercial interests must be consulted in the development on national parks and recreation areas. "That way," he said, "they will still have their mines and businesses, busi-nesses, but it will be more pleasing visually. We can have flow patterns and route plans. We can take an inventory of our landscape to see which piece of the land will justify each individual use. "It's a question," Smith feels "of whether man will use nature or destroy it" The 3M Special narrated by Paul Newman was produced by ABC News.

According to the Saturday, Feb. 22, 19G9 issue of the Press-Enterprise, Riverside, Calif, the LDS Church is said to be buying the famed Riverside Hotel, Mission Inn. "Reports that negotiations are in progress to sell the Mission Inn to an affiliate of the Mormon Church have been circulating in the Riverside business district for several days," sys an article by-lir.-'d by Tom Patterson. The article goes on to say that persons in position to know have confirmed that such negotiations are in progress. It has been reported re-ported in Riverside that the hotel would become a retirement center for elderly women, according to Mr. Patterson's article. He also said there had been speculation that the LDS Church would continue con-tinue to operat the inn as a hotel. The Mission Inn is considered one of the best known landmarks of Southern California. It is a uniquely ornate structure of cast concrete after the style of the Spanish Missions. Carrie Jacobs-Bond was a resident resi-dent of the inn at the time she composed "A Perfect Day." For years the song was used as the "signing off" music of the Inn's orchestra. Mayor Richard Morrison, who hai frequented the hotel, says "those who knew and loved the hotel will be happy if it is restored. They'll feel a touch of sadness if it is to be torn down. I walked through part of it recently and it was like walking in a musty old castle, full of history and memories." GOT A HOME TO RENT? List it in the Chronicle.
