Show Spotlighting 1 UTAH j Oil r.'.-.n.blings in Duchesne Immediately east of Duchesne lies lilty-mile-wide Uintah County. Coun-ty. Uintah rubs shoulders with Colorado's San Elanco County, famous for its Rangcly Oil Fields. The question is: Does Uintah and Duchesne, in the same neighborhood with Colorado's San Blanco, have similar underlying under-lying oil fields? Geologists have indicated great! faith in Uintah County's oil possibilities pos-sibilities and many test wells are in the process of being drilled. Just over the county line in Duchesne, Du-chesne, major oil companies are worked up over oil prospects in that district. The Duchesne County Recorder's Office has been very busy the last year recording re-cording more than one thousand oil leases. Undoubtedly, these big concerns have great faith in eastern Utah's oil possibilities for they do not spend time and money in a field unless they are reasonably satisfied that the prospects are good. Northern Utah Residents , Heartened With the $12,000,000.00Bush-nell $12,000,000.00Bush-nell General Hospital, originally scheduled to close this spring, doing an "about face" and suddenly sud-denly operating to the full capacity capa-city of her 3500 beds, individuals and organizations of Northern Utah fighting to make the institution insti-tution permanent were considerably consider-ably heartened this week when veterans administration plans which called for closing Bushnell at Brigham City and rebuilding a $5,000,000.00 hospital in Salt Lake City struck a serious financial fin-ancial snag in Washington. In addition, it seems that the house appropriation committee is asking a review of the matter because of the great amount of protest received against abandonment aban-donment of Bushnell and the expenditure ex-penditure of five million dollars for another hospital only 50 miles to the south. Individuals, firms, organizations and the majority ma-jority of the citizenry of Weber, Box Elder, Cache and Rich Counties contend that it is a waste of tax payers money to abandon a twelve-million dollar hospital to build another one almost al-most in the same neighborhood. The entire matter boils down to this: that President Harry S. Truman will decide whether Brigham City retains Bushnell, or the veterans administration gets their way and builds a new hospital at Salt Lake City. In the meantime, the whole project is at a standstill and the veterans administration must await the president's decision. Orange A. Olsen Memoralized Most Utahns remember Orange A. Olsen, former Manti forest ranger who was killed a year ago in a plane accident while counting count-ing elg from the air in Wyoming. A book, memorializing Mr. Ol-sen's Ol-sen's writing and photography relative his wide experience with game animals in Utah has just been released. Wildlife organizations, organi-zations, schools and libraries throughout the United States will receive copies. The book is said to be a fitting tribute to the man who dedicated the best of his years to the study of Utah wildlife. Teacher Ficks Utah's Most Beautiful Building H. Reuben Reynolds, U. S. A. C. art instructor, has named Brigham Brig-ham City's L. D. S. Tabernacle as "the most beautiful building in Utah". It is also reported that Artist Reynolds and his "art appreciation apprecia-tion classes" will tour Utah soon to trace the influences of long-dead long-dead architects on Nineteenth Century and Modern Utah struc- tures. ! Perhaps other .-grt'ons of Utah ; will feel that Artisf Reynolds! slighted them, because he chose the Box Elder Tabernacle as the i most beautiful building in the: State before he and his- art ap- j preciation classes had inspected j all of Utah's fine outstanding ! buildings. Perhaps the student from Manti, St. George or Cedar City will differ with their teacher teach-er in his selection. Cedar City In Art Spotlight . Cedar City's annual sixth art exhibit will be held in the latter part of April. Hazen Cooley, exhibit ex-hibit secretary reports a greatly increased interest in the exhibit and response from artists in all parts of the country indicate they plan to have paintings in the show. Epbraim Seeks Flour Sacks You can buy flour at the Eph-raim Eph-raim flour mill providing you bring your own clean empty sacks of the same brand. Lack of sack material due to strikes is the reason why the mill is unable to obtain sacks from their regular regu-lar sources. Utahn Explains Where Butter Has Gone "Where has butter gone" asks consumers all over the country. A. J. Morris, Dairy Specialist, U. S. A. C. says the butterfat which goes into a pound of butter will sell for 56 cents, while the pound of butter is limited to sell at a ceiling price of only 51 cents. In addition to the cost of the butter fat in a pound of butter, there is the cost of manufacture, sales and overhead. With restrictions re-strictions on ice cream, whipping cream, milk cream and cheese lifted, the answer as to where butter has gone should be obvious obvi-ous to everyone, he thinks. |
