Cameron, Jo. from Sept. 1, 1930 to Dec: 1, 1931 401.44 Total $1404.00 The result of the organization is: The various communities have been vastly enlightened regarding the problems of each; they have become more conscious of the need for a give-and-take policy with their neighbors and it has been demonstrated demon-strated to the association members that immediate and continuous effort must be carried on to assist our industries, in-dustries, foster intra and interstate trade and to promote tourist travel into Utah, regardless of the section of the state directly benefited. During the year newspapers on the coast were supplied with materials on little known Utah attractions, and KFI in Los Angeles for eight weeks broadcast news flashes of southern Utah. Following the publication of a story bearing particularly on the archaeology ar-chaeology of Wayne county .certain of the officials of the Exposition Museum Mu-seum of Los Angeles requested specific spe-cific information relative to the fossil beds of Emery county. Sufficient data and photographs were secured to induce Dr. Chester Stock of the California Tech to personally examine exam-ine the field, stopping off while en route to the Smithsonian institute. His report was so favorable that the Los Angeles museum immediately dispatched a reconnaissance party who prospected the field until forced by the early snows to suspend their operations. Several hundred dollars was spent for labor and supplies in the short time this work was being carried on, and this same group of scientists have been granted a permit by the U. S. government for 1932 to carry on explorations. If further excavation ex-cavation bears out the discoveries already al-ready made, many thousands of dollars dol-lars will be paid out for labor on this work during 1932. The 1932 program favors the completion com-pletion of an industrial survey started start-ed last year, to acquaint the farmers with the produce needs of the Pacific coast. During the past year the proper connections were effected for a systematic sys-tematic release in eastern magazines and newspapers of illustrated stories exploiting the many scenic attractions attrac-tions of southern Utah. This work is of vital importance as this year the travel to Los Angeles is expected to break all previous records. It is suggested that folders designed design-ed to meet the needs of tourists be prepared, and arrangements made for their distribution in the eastern states. |
