Feeling the road is important to all local interests, as well as to visitors taking in the scenic beauties of the vicinity, the Salina Lions Club, 'in cooperation with the North Sevier Chamber of Commerce and civic groups in Redmond and Aurora, are sponsoring a proposed change and improvement for the canyon, and soliciting the assistance of the Forest Service. A petition is now in circu- lation in North Sevier, carrying he following heading: We, the undersigned, residents of the area served by the road known as Soldier Canyon, respectively petition the assistance of the Forest Service 'in changing the highway to branch off from Salina Canyon via the Gooseberry Farms, and to generally follow the present route from the farms into Fishlake. This road is necessary for the welfare of all farming, livestock, grazing, fishing, hunting, scenic and recreational interests of the thousands using th'is road annually. The present road is in deplorable condition, and a menace to the safety of those using it, and dis- courages any enjoyment of the natural resources found the area. Last week, Maurice Rasmus- representing the Lions Club, and G. M. Burr, a member of the road committee on the of Commerce, met with the Sevter County Com- to ask their support in such a project. Landowners at Gooseberry have already ex- pressed their willingness to go along with a road through their property, and with support from the area, it is hoped the pro- ject can be completed. Petitions are now in circu- lation, and in case anyone would like to add their signatures to the hundreds already signed, contact should be made with Stanley Barrett, road chairman for the Lions Club, or Ted Burrr, chairman of the C of C. The Lions Trail was a project started by the Salina Lions many years ago, with the For- est Service to maintain the road. Through the years, the main- problem has grown, and traffic has increased.
