By adding the Indian Headdress we felt it somewhat localized the logo to our area. You'll have to admit that we are promoting Vernal as much or maybe more than Roosevelt by its use. During the last year Vernal, Roosevelt. Duchesne and the communities in Daggett County have been working very closely in promoting tourism throughout the region.

Due to the importance, and controversial nature of the I .and Use bill, we will publish aa much information as possible about the subject prior to the election in the fall.) Supporters and opponents of Utahs controversial land use planning law disagree vigorously on virtually all of its aspects save one: the pending decision to adopt or reject it will significantly influence the future de- velopment of the state. So reports Utah Foundation, the nonprofit public service of the law which was enacted by the 1974 Utah Legislature but suspended by refere-dupetition before it could take effect. Vote of the Utah electorate in November will either put the law into immediate effect, or kill it. Noting that the land use planning issue provided one of the most emotional legislative issues in years, the Foundation points out that identical language in the bill may be cited by proponents as decisive reason for its approval and by opponents as equally compelling reason for its rejection. "Virtually everyone accepts some form of land use planning by government: the zoning ordinance which protects you against the location of a pig farm adjacent to your city home is a much quoted example, the Foundation points out. Most people are also fearful of too much land use planning-rig- id regulation by government which would minimize and even destroy private property rights." It is the search for the right amount of land use planning-an- d the definition of what is the right amount also varies widely - that lies behind so much of the controversy. Planning the use of land, and of the resources that lie in it and the buildings constructed upon it, has been generally accepted at the local level for many years. Zoning ordinances are generally established in most parts of the nation, the Foundation noted. Since Hawaii enacted the first state-levland use law in 1961, have adopted some states many form of land use law. Bills are m which would extend land use planning to the Federal level. Many property owners are fearful that government will unsurp their own right to use their land as they see fit. It is not a question of should we plan land use, but of who should do the planning the land owner, or government and if so what level of government: local, state, or Federal, the Founda-- tion reports. Utah's land use law was enacted with substantial margins in both houses of the Legislature: 0 (with two absent) in the Senate and 55-2- 0 (no absentees) in the House. Yet the referendum petition which temporarily suspended the law and places the issue before the electorate quickly acquired more than the required number of signatures to make it effective. Supporters of the law say it was misrepresented by sponsors of the petition. Supporters of the referendum petitions vigorously deny this. Utah Foundation makes it clear that it is taking no direct part in the controversy, but is following its traditional policy in seeking to provide factual information. Arguments both for and against the land use law are cited as they have been presented by their own adherents. This law could stop development in the state-with- in five years of passage we could lose our property rights," said one pending in opponent of the law. I believe in land use planning, not to stop growth but to accomodate it in an orderly fashion and turn it to maximum good," said a supporter of the law. "Civic leaders of every point of view on the central issue do agree on one point," the Foundation report concludes. Utah's decision on land use planning in November, 1974, is e likely to have vital results afffecting the future development of the state. All of them urge citizens to express their considered opinions at the voting booth. long-rang- Ihoiu nows items to 722-513- 1 Congress PUR TRIHJBLGFRE i DRIVING...

The Chamber Maid Roosevelt Area Chamber of Commerce Du-hesn- liv Paula O. Bell Despite the high winds and cold Dear D. B.: We received your letter today concerning your feelings toward the use of "Dina" by the Roosevelt Area Chamber of Commerce. Apparently you could only reach the conclusions which you have through lack of information. Are you aware that Roosevelt is within the geographical borders, in fact the center, of Dinosaurland Travel Region? Dinosaurland Travel Region is one of the nine travel regions set up by the Utah Travel Council and includes Daggett and Uintah Counties. The logo (Dina) was copyrighted by Dinosaurland Advertising, Inc., an advertising organizaiton set up by businesses in the Vernal area with some outside participation. During the last year Dinosaurland Travel Board. Inc., has been organized to handle the advertising for Dinosaurland Travel Region. This organization is set up to promote Dinosaurland and has directors from each county on its board. This organization is operated with the room tax monies collected by the three counties and is matched with funds from the state. At the wea- ther the three chamber of commerce, eight from Vernal, five from Roosevelt and one from Duchesne had a delightful time playing golf on the new Roosevelt golf course. Before we teed off there was a lot of talk about one team contesting another, lefties vs. right handed golfers, etc. But when we finished up no one was saying loo much about scores. Wonder why? We finished up by having a social hour with chips and dips and drinks and lots of talk. I personally enjoyed the afternoon and felt that the others did also. I)o hope we ran do this again with even more participating. Thanks to everyone for coming out. 1 rereived the following letter, unsigned except for A Resident of Logan, undoubtedly from someone who has in Vernal in the past. I am publishing the letter along with our reply with the hope that it may answer any question that others may have regarding the situation. 9 The Co Ahead People the "Salt Lake Tribune" travel guide May ; MR.
