The Spruces campground in Big Cottonwood Canyon has not been in the news until this week when it is suddenly "worn out" and needs maybe $200,000 worth of rehabilitation. Seems strange to us that came so suddenthe wear-ou- t ly. Surely there can not be any excuse for restroom fa cilities declining to the point that the public must complain about them. In our opinion, nothing "wears out" if it has normal and adequate care and repairs. If the county commission and the recreation board have been neglecting the Spruces, their sudden appeal for a big rebuilding program will find little acceptance by the public. The fuss over facilities at the state prison has been revived, as ij done periodically. A report, which has received detailed coverage by the dailies, but has not been supplied to the weekly press, appears to be mostly and the editors are a lot more excited about it than e most readers. After all, the place is a prison, not a country club, and the people living there are there primarily for punishment, and if they have to get along with some "outmoded" equipment, substandard facilities, and stainless steel tables instead of wooden tables and table cloths, most of us are not going to get too excited. Despite all that the may accomplish, there always remains at any of a the possibility prison riot. In such circumstances a long stainless steel table doesn't make much of a weapon, but wooden table legs, broken off. can do a lot of damage to people's heads. Except for the occasional instance of conviction of, an innocent man, all prisoners are at the prson as the result of due process of law or violation of parole. All possible persons convicted are given the benefit of liberal probation decisions. The ones who are there, with possible exceptions, are hardly the type to be coddle pampered, or toyed with. Those caDable ol ol rehabilitation should, course, have such opportunity and vocational training. The same mail brings reports from two of Utah's repin Washington resentatives which tell the same story from different angles. Together, they paint a picture wnich is not bright. Sen. Frank E. Moss hopes to make a big impression an increase of 120,300 visitors to recreation facilities in Utah. Sounds good, in spite of the fact that four of the bigger areas, Arches, Bryce, Cedar Breaks, and Zion snowed decreases. Rep. Sherman P. Lloyd's figures show that visitors at recreation areas in all of the western states increased 23. But Utah's increase was a little more than He points out that the most popular recreation areas are in California and Nevada.

The winning one point margin of the Lancers in last Friday's game was scored in the first half with both teams playing evenly and scoring a touchdown apiece except the Granger try for extra point was good while the Hillcrest try failed. Neither of the teams was able to score in the third period but in the fourth quarter the Huskies broke Pete Van Valkenburg away for a 45 yard touchdown run. The Dan Holladay's try for the extra point which would have given Hillcrest a 1j-lead hit the Granger goal post and ended the afternoon for the Huskies. Granger came back later in the fourth quarter to score the games winning touchdown. Bingham and Jordan both ended their season last Friday with losses.

How ever, to really do the job, and bring the Spruces up to the standards the department desires would cost between $200,000 and $300,000.

"Many people who use the campgrounds complained this summer about the and poor restroom facilities.
