Wynaught, the club's director di-rector in As.sociated Civic Clubs of Southern Utah, highway and all matters which the local club desires de-sires to take up with he association. associa-tion. This action has special reference ref-erence to help of the association in behalf of highway 91-W, the ;loop of highway 91 which will give Beaver and Millard counties a highway paralleling the Union Pacific tracks and affording a much-needed connecting link between be-tween the west parts of both counties. coun-ties. At the previous meeting of the club it had been voted to have the secretary take this matter up with( association direct. In connection with discus-ofi ot this matter Lion Wynaught stated that, though he feared that little could be done for this route until such time as the road was placed on the state highway system, his interest in this road is well known. In fact, state highway commission attaches, he said, refer to him as "that man who is so interested in a road connecting those two enterprising enter-prising cities, Delta and Milford.' Digressing to the matter of accomplishments ac-complishments of the Lions club, Lion Wynaught mentioned the intense in-tense work of fc.ner Senator Jefferson Jef-ferson and himself in behalf of what is known as the Bone Hollow road connecting highways 91 and 89 just south of the Beaver-Iron county line. Though encountering baffling discouragement over a long period of time, he r.jw lacked the signature of only one person to insure the designation of what is known as the Fremont Pass route, a little north of Bone Hollow, Hol-low, as a federal highway. Continuing, he told of having been criticized for working for the Roosevelt highway No. 6, which utilizes highway 50 as it enters Utah from the east, then swinging west and south to Delta and then on westward by way of highway 27. Lin Wynaught stated that he had done this with the sole thought of keeping the routing in the southern part of the state, instead in-stead of in and out of the state as close to Salt Lake as that city could keep it. In conclusion he reported re-ported the recent meeting of the Associated Civic Clubs at St. George, at which time the annual installation of officers took place. James M.
