Show Utah Civil Defense Director Seeks Amendment Yes Vote Utah voters going to the polls Tuesday, November 8th, for the Presidential Election, will find an amendment proposal for their decision. It calls for updating of State constitution to enable steps guaranteeing continuity of government in extreme emergencies such as nuclear attack. Civil Defense Director for Utah, Leonard Higgins, said today he hopes our people will mark their ballots for this important measure. He said the amendment, popularly known as the "survival amendment, is endorsed by members of both political parties. It is a nonpartisan proposal, calling for no expenditures. Voters of 13 other states are deciding on this measure. The emergency provisions for governments were developed by the Council of State Governments, and endorsed by leading civil, government, veteran and labor When ratified, organizations. the amendment would enable Utah to modernize its constitution to: 1. Provide lines of succession for leadership and government authority in executive, legislative and judicial positions. 2. Minimize the possibility of unlawful assumption of authority in an emergency. 3. Assure effective State gov- ernmvent in emergency. 4. Preserve civil government, and thus reduce the need for martial law in extreme dislocations following attack. Constitutional Amendment No. 1, to amend the Utah Constitution is, in brief, an opportunity for residents of this state to update the State Constitution so as to preserve our representative government in event of enemy attack upon our country. It is a proposal, popularly known as the sur- vival amendment." The Constitution of Utah now lacks provisions that would en- the State Legislature to take beforehand these essential steps. In simple terms, these pro- visions for emergencies a r e sound insurance for effective government during, and after a ruclear attack. This amendment would au- thorize the Legislature to pro- vide lines of succession, and such other measures as are needed to k insure operation of civil government. Attached is a list of nation- wide organizations which sup- port this amendment.

The colorful new folder do- tails exact location of these areas, as well as altitude, season, accommodations, lifts and tows, slopes, transportation and other information of interest to win- ter sports enthusiasts. Utahs mountains are claimed to have some of the best snow and slope conditions in the world for skiing, and the rate at which lesorts are being developed seems to confirm this claim. In comparison with a list published several years ago, the new folder lists several resorts, seven chair and tows, bfts and lve which have been added since the previous folder was issued.

Another unusual feature of Utahs winter sports picture is the length of season, which often begins as early as and continues until the middle of May. Slopes are varied enough to suit anybody, from the beginner to the most daring 0f experts and the snow, well, skiers can judge for themselves whether it measures up to the local boast that nowhere else is it perfect in dryness and tex- ture. skiers will be in- to terested know, too, that Salt Lake City is now connected with all parts of the world by jet and the only major ski plane area so readily accessible iby that means of transportation, The resorts near Salt Lake City are developed with lodges for those who wish to stay right in the immediate resort area. Nearby cities, o fcourse, have all facilities for those who would er Out-of-sta- te rather commute. For those who prefer winter sports other than skiing, Utah also offers bobsledding, tobogganing, ice skating, and a chance to feed the elk at Hardware Ranch near Logan an experience that is guaranteed to thrill not only the children, but the grownups as well!

Beginning Thursday evening, Miss Baxter and other contestants will go through a rigorous round of activities so that the panel of four judges will be able to select one of the dairy beauties who will serve as the dairy industrys official ambassador of goodwill for the next year. The American Dairy Association sponsors the Princess program. The judging is based on the ability of the young women to represent the dairymen during a hectic year of travel from coast to coast, with occasional foreign trips. The Princess makes hundreds of personal appearances at many different types of meetings, and also becomes a frequent participant in radio and television shows, locally and on the networks.
