While the highway is closed local traffic will be rerouted through Emigration Canyon to the north which has had a complete facelifting to handle the expected flood of vehicles. The detour will take motorists through 13 miles of Emigration Canyon. The road has been resurfaced from one end to the other and widened in places to accommodate emergency stopping. All told, about $322,000 has been spent on improvements for the canyon road and it is now ready to go. The detour adds only six miles to the present route through Parleys and will be much faster than trying to buck construction obstacles.

While at Bear Lake during the summer we were shocked to tee water skiers and boats coming and going in the same area where people were swimming. This seems dapgerous and wn wonder why it is not remedied by dividing the areas, I am told this situation also exists in other lakes in the state. j J.R.A., Hyde Park. - 7- t State Dept, of Natural .'esources agrees this is widespread problem. Main thing being done presently is strict enforcement by water rangers of the law that a boat operator cannot exceed a slow, wakeless speed when within 150 feet of another boat, a swimmer, a launch site, etc. Also, They are working with resort and beach owners to encourage buoys and markers designating swim areas. In many places ihis has already been done. I I worked for a fruit company in Brigham City. They promised to send me my check but haven't. Can vou help?

The civic auditorium is already one of the busiest facilities of its kind in the Duryea told the country, Deseret News. NET REVENUE He reported with obvious1 excitement that7 the 100,000 total attendance at Ringling Brothers Ciicus earlier this month brought net revenue in the neighborhood of $30,000. Duryea said that so far in September, 12,000 persons have attended meetings and conventions at the Palace. According to William D. Backman, promotion director. Salt Lake County Promotion and Development Board, and executive manager, Salt Lake Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau, this would mean that approximately $1,634,880 was spent in Utah by the September conventioneers. CAREFUL STUDIES This figure is based on careful studies made by the International Association of Convention Bureaus. It does not include money paid in transportation to Salt Lake City and money paid in rentals for the Palace. The 12,000 attendance total at the Palace in September does not include attendance at nine performances of the circus, which sola out seven performances in four days. Gross ticket sales for the ciicus amounted to $318,000.
