Show SOUTH CACHE COURIER. Smithfield, Utah, Friday, Aug. Strawberry Roan 20, .1948 FOR YOUR EVERY YEAR LIST A mile and a half above sea level and a million miles above your cares, and worries is a wonderland of tall, dignified, pines lending their scent to mountain air as pure and thin as a violin note, tumbling mountain streams on every hand, inviting n lakes that look like a piece of sky, resting. It's been a week since we visited the high Uintahs for the first time, and it may be a year before we visit them again. But no more. Utah, the marvelous kingdom in the mountains, boasts so many natural and scenic, attractions even a native might spend the free hours of a lifetime visiting them, and never see them all. But there are some things, in and near Utah, which every Utahns should see every ' year, and in the end regret only that life is so short, that there were not more years and more visits.' Yellowstone National park, of course, is such a place. With its tumbling profusion of natural wonders and scenic beauty, it attracts and delights; nearly a million people every year, from all over the world. We lucky Utahns can get there in a days drive a hard days allows enough drive, perhaps and even a long week-en- d time within the park to make the trip worthwhile. The Southern Utah parks Bryce, Zion, Cedar Breaks and the north rim of the Grand Canyon certainly belong on the every year list. The temple grounds in Salt Lake City, and the wonderful story of our states history and the heroic pioneers told by the guides, would be so interesting and worthwhile as to seem new! even after dozens of annual or more frequent visits. The Bingham copper mine, Great Salt Lake, our own Bear River Migratory Bird refuge, beautiful Bear Lake, all are attractions of which one dare not say Ive seen theme after a single visit. Theres always something new and interesting. And now regretting that weve been so long in "doing it we add to the list the Uintahs.

Green Lakes, where our meeting was held, happens to be in Daggett county, but we suspect youll find dozens of other spots as delightful anywhere along the top of the only U.
