Voltaire A Report from Your Governor By GEORGE Gift of the historic Carson Hotel at Fairchild to the Utah Parks and Recreation sion last week turned the spot light on a new agency of State government that will play a big role iri Utahs future develop ment. The Parks and Recreation Commission, set up by the 1957 Legislature, is quietly going the business of outlining a program. For the most part, its activities are in the planning stage, but eventual results' are going to "mean a great deal to every part of the State. As we all know, Utah has some of the most magnificent scenic attractions The most magnificent scenic attractions, in every loyal Utahn believes" the world. And yet, in 1955, we ranked forty-thiramong the 48 states in tourist income. Many states without a fraction of our natural attractions are receiving a larger share of the tourist dollar than we are and the tourist business in the United states right now is very big business, about double the size (in annual cash returns) of the entire U.S. automotive industry. It obviously will be to our advantage to make our scenic, historic and recreational advantages better and more w'idely known. If we do so, more and more tourists will benefit from s the wholesome vacation we have to offer; and more and more Utah communities will ' "prosper.-'Establishment of a State Park system will greatly aid in making our attractions known outside our own State, and in making the visiting of them more enjoyable to tourists. We now have two national parks, eight national monuments and seven national forests, all justly famed across the Nation and often their fame has spread around the in a world. Yet many people we feel know to that position have an abundance of scenic attractions fully equal to those that have national status. When Dead Horse Point and the Land of Standing Men, to name just two our fabulous unknown scenic resources, are as well known as Zion and Bryce, our tourist business should increase materially. As the new Parks and Recreation Commission goes about buiding its program, some important facts in connection with it should be understood by citizens. Among them are these: The Commission is operating on very limited funds, and a practical way must be found to finance a system of State ut long-rang- e d attra-tion- U-t- ilBut Keep Out Of My Back Yard!" .
