When Schweitzer arrived at d Lambarene he faced a i Full development of Wasatch Mountain State Park will make it a prime attraction for vacationists and tourists as well as a recreation mecca for Utah residents, according to D. James Cannon, director of Utah State Tourist and Publicity. Plans for the park, biggest such area yet blueprinted in Utah, call for campsites, picnic groves, scenic outlooks, loop roads and winter sports, plus eventual deout-of-sta- te recreational attractions lying between Yellowstone and the Canyonlands country, was expanded under earlier legislative action from a nucleus of 583 acres to a total of 21,950 acres.

All these, with its location on major highways and other transit routes, could make the state park as attractive as many na- tionally known areas. Passage of HB 64, the bonding program proposed by Gov. Calvin Rampton to meet Utahs building and park needs, has greatly enhanced prospects for speedy development of the park on the mountain slopes west of Heber ' Valley. The bill passed Feb. 3 would provide some for the long envisoned but as yet undeveloped park. If passed by the State Senate and signed by Gov. Rampton the appropriations measure would mean roads and visitor facilities long sought by park commission members. Careful cooperative planning along lines conceived a half dozen years ago by the State Park Chairman Harold P. Fabian,' the late H. Clay Cummings, Glen Hatch and members of a local Heber Valley committee has already resulted in a basic program of land acquisition and initial construction.

Of this sum $247,-15- 4 came from federal grants and state road commission match ing funds, while $84,827 was in direct Park Commission appropriations. The chief benefit from these funds has been the scenic loop highway route through the park providing 29 miles of new and improved gravel standard roads which will provide the base for hard surfaced roads at a later late. A large spring has also been housed and 8,100 feet of piping laid to bring it to the parks initial 17 unit campsite. Expenditure of the $1,700,000 for recreational development, plus installation of the proposed 31,000 ft. aerial tramway complex is expected to bring a flow of tourist dollars to the Heber Valley, especially in view of the Wasatch Mountain State Parks location as a four season recreation attraction near the crossroads of major transcontinental highways and within easy reach of Utahs 1,000,000 of two-thirresidents. ds Prospectors brought the Alice Arm property to the attention of Kennco Explorations (Western) Limited, and exploration subsidiary of Kennecott, and in 1959 a purchase option was executed. Subsequent geologic work by Kennco indicated that a large scale drilling program was justified. This program was carried at a out in the period 1960-6cost of $900,000 and established that the size of the ore body and the amount of overburden on it would permit open-p- it operation. It is estimated that 235 persons will be employed when the property is in production. 3 Kennecott, announced.

Smith Peterson Farm leaders from this area and all parts of the state will participate in the 42nd annual meeting of the Intermountain Farmers Association which will be held at the Hotel Utah February 20. E. Smith Peterson of Salina, president of the association, the largest farm cooperative in the state, will preside and make the annual report for the board of directors. The meeting will start at 9 a.m. John A. Roghaar, new general manager, will make a complete report on the past years activities and the plans for 1965. The annual auditors report will be made by Wendell Cook. Jack Loveless, general sales manager; Merrill Rushworth, operations manager and Cecil Rushworth, maanger of the egg and turkey processing departments, also are to report. Dr. J. Clark Ballard, associate director of the Extension Service at the Utah State University, will be speaker at the luncheon at noon. Entertainment also is were bad luck, she said. The belief caused parents to murder one of the twins at birth. To overcome this, Dr. Schweitzer made it known that he would undertake the responsibility of bringing up twins and even give a special present to their family. In this way he has been able gradually to liminate the taboo. Another superstition he had to circumvent to save the lives of infants and mothers was the belief foisted by old midwives that it was bad luck for an expectant mother to see a doctor. As a result, mothers would not go near the hospital before or during childbirth, and large numbers were dying. The young wives were so convinced that seeing a doctor was bad luck, nothing I could made any difference, say Schweitzer told Mrs. Anderson. Then I hit on the idea of presenting each baby born at my hospital With a little bonnet and dress. The plan worked, Mrs. Anderson writes, for the people reasoned, If the doctor gives out a bonnet and dress for each child, for quite ordinary chil dren, surely something good and special must come of it. Pregnant women then began flocking to the hospital and have continued to do so ever since. The author is a noted photographer who spent seven years making the film of Schweitzers life which won an Academy Award for the best documentary of 1958. It took Mrs. Anderson seven years to make this film, and she has visited his hospital regularly ever since. She just returned from her nineteenth visit, during which she helped him by driving his jeep, doing errands and attending to his correspondence. This longtime friendship with Schweitzer, his family and staff, gives Mrs. Anderson an understanding of the great man and his work which is lacking in many writers of books about him today who either knew him briefly or not at all. Sometimes the chief of a village will arrive at the hospital with six of his wives, Schweitzer told her in explanation of the overcrowded conditions. Though only one wife may be ill, its impossible to make them understand that she should live apart lest the others become infected. This insistence that whole families must live together here, though only one member may be afflicted, is the reason that everythings so crowded. But one cannot change their ways easily. If they werent assured that they could stay together here, they would not come at all. I must treat them on their own terms, or not at all. That is what many who are critical of the conditions here do not understand. planned. Election of officers and directors for 1965 will be the concluding business of the meeting.
