Show Page Two -- BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER Tremonton, Ltah background in motion pictures, there too frequently arises the complacent feeling that motion picture companies must come to this state regardless of what we may do in the way of assistance. Such an idea is dangerous to a continuance of this splendid source of income and employment. It is true, as we all know, that Utah has been blessed with some of the greatest wonders of nature. It is equally true that much of our remarkable scenery is still almost inaccessible. It will probably be a surprise to many to know that picture backgrounds, as with picture scripts, dialogue or settings, can quickly become obsolete. A couple of pictures in the same area is about the limit, just as a couple of variations of the same story will be about enough for the public. The challenge simply is that if Utah is to hold its place in competition with other western states, so far as the picture industry in concerned, it will be increasingly important that many new areas, as striking as the more familiar ones, be constantly made accessible to the companies which bring so much income and employment into the state. Criticism has been made, at times, of public money spent in building access roads into new areas at a cost of a very few thousand dollars. The thought may have even occurred that the companies would have come into the state regardless. This is erroneous; it is even quite frame of mind exists whether the fedexpenditures be made through eral, state, county or municipal It docs not, however agencies.

The 90 minutes of marching men and thundering tanks, heavy artillery, and other armaments seemed enough to win a war in itself. To think of multiplying that hundreds of times seemed incomprehensible.
