BOSTON (UPI) Religion and morality must be taught in our schools, or society will suffer the consequences, according to a leading educator. If school educators think they can wash their hands of the responsibility of teaching morality and religion theyre kidding themselves, and our society wont last very long, said Dr. Sterling McMurrin, dean of the graduate school at the University of Utah. McMurrin, a former U.S. commissioner of education, spoke here at the Creative Education Fair at Boston College. He said he was not advocating a course in religious dogma or creeds, but we must admit religion has to do with the very purpose of existence, DENIES PROBATION When Davis attorney suggested probation for his client, Ritter said that between last August and February 1969, Davis obtained 30 prescriptions for amphetamines from a Salt Lake osteopath already convicted of causing to be sold stimulant and drugs so he was clearly engaged in this dirty business.

BARKER Deseret News Staff Writer Spokesmen for Park City ski operations today asked for major improvements to Emigration Canyon highway as a detour and, if possible. a years delay in closing Parleys Canyon for construction of Interstate 80. area Those requests were heard meeting of the State Road Commission in the State Office Building. The present schedule calls for lower Parleys Canyon to be closed beginning Oct. 1 fur major highway cons Suction. at a This would be reopened to traffic June 1, 1970. Emigration, Canyon highway, providing access to Parleys Canyon above Mountain Dell Reservoir, is to be resurfaced, widened for school bus and emergency stops and a on lane installed passing major grades before Oct. 1. Clem Church, Panguitrh, road commission chairman, said the pleas of the Park City group would be weighed carefully and a decision leached soon as to whether construction schedules should be changed. Vernal, Feltch, Francis commission member, empbifr sized that a commitment was made some 10 years ago to complete Parleys Canyon is the same year as Mountain ski faeilites, and James B. Conkiing, owner of the Gorgoza ski resort. Whitney claimed that the Weber through completed Canyon. Therefore, to delay the Parleys completion would give a real advantage to the Weber Canyon route, Feltch said. Provo Canyon highway also will be improved as fast as funds arc available, the commission pledged. Speaking for the ski operators were Hardin A. Whitney Jr., attorney for Ski Park City; Richard W. Giauque, attorney for United Park City decision to close lower Parleys Canyon road was made within the past two or three Mines, operating Treasure months and that inadequate preparations have been made for an adequate detour through Emigration Canyon. He estimated that it would cost $1.5 million to improve Emigration Canyon to a standard which would carry the traffic. Only $220,000 now has been budgeted for the Emigration Gtnyon . road improvements, Uhitney'said. Giauque said United Park City and others have spent $3 million for ski facilities and another $7 million has Iteen spent for other associated businesses. A minor boom budding in the ski industry probably will be nipped by inadequate access during the coming winter, he aid. Conkiing said his venture definitely could be ended next winter if lus customers from Salt Lake Valley are shut off. Henry C. Holland, Utah Highways director, teported that following U.S. Bureau of Public Roads approval for a e highvray through six-lan- lower Parleys Canyon, it has become apparent that tie lower canyon must be dosed for the construction. Blaine J. Kay, state highsaid heavy way engineer, trucks will be rerouted to avoid Emigration Canyon and w stbound motorists will lie advised at Echo and Hebcr to use other routes than Emigration where feasible.
