Canada Bidding For American Tourists More than 20 million United States citizens are expected to visit Canada this summer, it is announced by the Canadian Government Travel Bureau. Oddly enough, the bureau reports that Canadas only shortage at present is of United States dollars. Utah, like Canada, is also short of United States dollars and the Utah Department of Publicity has underway a major program to get more tourists to Utah whose pockets are jingling with U. S. dollars.

J to entertain A group of Duchesne business men met at the office room of the Commercial Club Monday evening, February 23, to discuss problems pertaining to U S Highway 40 advertising which is to be printed in the near future. The meeting was called to order by Chester Lyman, who acted as chairman. Earl Jensen was named secretary for the occasion. Mr. Lyman read a letter from Norel P. Keim, of Craig, Colo., who is a leading official in the for Highway 40 Assockon western Colorado and eastern Utah. Fifty thousand road maps of Highway 40 are to be printed in the near future, and the object of the gathering lasC evening was to come to a conclusion as to how much advertising space on the map should be taken by Duchesne. It wa3 the unanimous opinion of all present that this locality should have some mention on the map, to let tourists know what Duchesne had to offer in the way of accommodations, and other attractions. (The general drift of the discussion indicated that it would be a good idea to feature the fishing and hunting possibilities in this locality, and the possibilities for a vacation in the great' outdoors, both in the vicinity of Duchesne and the high Uinta mountains to the north. The pertinent question seemed to be how much money could be raised. A small ad will cost about $168.00 and a space twice the The larger size .about $363.00 space would call for a donation of $20.00 from every business establishment in the city, while the smaller one about $10.00. It was thought, however, that the larger ad would be more effective. A committee went to work Tuesday morning with a view to raising the money, Mr. Lyman stated that he was Per Year In Advance Number 33 Duchesne Sewer Project Progressing Satisfactorily HIGHWAY FORTY ter Users, organized as an association April 21, 1947, held its annual meeting Saturday, February 14, at the Roosevelt Com- magazine for his color photo of wheat.
