their- spirit of giving wither rather than getting From personal experience I 1 speak of this In 1922 I 1 came came to Southern Utah unknown and I broken down in health e expecting to I stay stay a n few days das and then go on to Southern California I stayed nearly four fourteenths and came away completely coo com restored to health and with the feeling that ever every inhabitant of S Southern Utah was a personal friend To these friends and a to the spirit which which animated them I wish wIh to dedicate de the Club To Canyon Canon preserve this spirit is by far the most important import
