Show Wait And See I First, I would like to ask the nut who wrote the childish message on a copy of our polHl-. cal ad run In a recent issue of the Garfield County- News and sent it to me to have the guts to sign his or her name to what they mall out. - - Our informative and accurate ad had my name on It as head of our citizens committee. Also I would like to bring to this person's attention the article which appears in Life Magazine for this week. It gives a run down on the newly-elected congressmen and tells what their leanings are. Life in its article of world-wide circulation calls Wayne Owens a "conservationist". We did no worse in Our ad. The conservationists have stopped develop- merit of the Kaiparowitz generating plant. A project which would have tapped untold natural wealth to furnish much needed electrical power and would have brought thousands of jobs and great prosperity to all of Southern Utah. The various holier-than-thou preservationist and consternationist groups who wheedle funds from the public in the name of conservation, have halted this project of such vast potential gocd to the public and are about to halt the development of steam-operated electrical power plants in Garfield County. (paid advertisement) '" . It is a known and published fact (there are no more hidden slush funds In politics) that the Owens campaign was backed in groat part by dollars brought Into the state by outsiders. 'The preservationist groups (friends of nature and haters of man) get up the dough In cases o'f this sort to see that every effort shall be made to sterilize Southern Utah to keep it undefiled by man and pure for the hikers and the sunset "ooohcrs and aaahers". - Development of power plants on the Kaiparowitz and along the Escalante would mean such untold benefit to mankind it is hard to see how even an idiot can justify their stopping. Using nature for man's benefit Is a necessity. Nature should be used for the benefit of man, otherwise we must give up and turn the world over to the prairie dogs lizards and cockroaches and ourselves vanish as an outmoded species finally endangered Into extinction. Whether or not .Owens doe anything to help . get these massively beneficial projects built remains to be seen. Two. years, Wayne. Two years then we will know; A MOIIR CHRISTENSEN, ESCALANTE, UTAH |
