Show LAUDS OUR PLAYGROUNDS ; Southern Utah is destined to become the playground of the na- tion, according to Frank A. Vanderlip, international banker from '. New York City. Mr. Vanderlip, in his private car, was in Omaha ', on his way back to New York after two months' vacation spent in . California and in southern Utah. He went hundreds of miles in ! Utah in his automobile and was immensely impressed by what he . saw. Bryce canyon, Zion National park and the north rim of the Grand Canyon were among the points visited by the Vanderlip party which consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Vanderlip, their six children and six other children, friends of the family's children. ' The entire party camped out while in Utah, went fishing, rode horseback and roughed it in general. "I never saw anything so grand as that southern Utah country," said Mr. Vanderlip in Omaha. "It is simply sublime. When the nation learns what is down there people are going to simply flock there in the smummertime. The scenes at the north rim of the Grand Canyon far surpass those of the southern rim. Bryce canyon can-yon and Zion park have the world beat. "When the line of hotels now planned for that country are built and the automobile roads completed and improved, as they are planned to be, that scenic world will be easy of access and it will then be a Mecca for visitors and tourists." Mr. Vanderlip is a director and member of the executive committee com-mittee of the Union Pacific railroad and his visit to southern Utah may mean much to that country when questions concerning it arise in railroad circles. Another thing about the farmer's dollar is that there are always two city men waiting for it. |
