No. I Sugar House, Utah January 9, 1958 Price 10 Cenh Clyde Reports Construction Key To Utah's Economy Outlook For New Year natural resources, particularly with the Aneth Oil Field coming into its own with the comple-tion of the major pipelines, is proceeding at an ever-fast- er pace. All of these factors should make for high employment and expanding prosperity. They will all contribute to the exciting developments of the next 12 months. But along with these bright prospects, we have some less attractive elements in the over-a- ll Utah picture some serious problems we must face and solve. s In spite of all our efforts, more people were killed on Utah highways in 1957 than in any but one year of our history. Safety efforts must be doubled and redoubled in 1958 if this bloody trend is to be checked. We have made great advances in catching up on our accum-ulated school needs, but we still have areas of overcrowding and fthorUgai of qualified teachers. Our wnole school system needs close analysis, to make sure we I believe an informed is public essential to good government. I therefore welcome this op-portunity to chat regularly with the citizens of this great state. I wish I could talk with each of you individually, so that we could exchange questions, an- swers and comments. That being obviously impossible, the next best thing may be to talk to you through the columns of your home town newspapers, where we can regularly discuss the operations of your state government and the. various problems that we jointly face. Nineteen fifty-eig- ht is going to be an exciting and eventful year for all of us. Internationally, the outlook is dominated by the Russian achievement in launching earth satellites, and America's effort to catch up and retain the lead in the scientific fields. This effort is bound to affect our lives, both as U.S. citizens and as residents of a state that houses a number of military ana civilian installations directly are making the best use of available facilities and talent and providing maximum educa-tional opportunities for our young people. And ther are many other problem areas which are of vital concern to our ci-tizens. I shall do my best to keep you informed of the operation of state government . YOUR state government as the year advances. I shall try to discuss with you the problems being faced and the solutions being offered. And I shall look for your ideas and your help in charting a course of action. A most happy and prosperous 1958 to all of you. concerned in the defense effort. Here in Utah, we face a year of unusual perhaps un-precedented activity. Our highway construction program has skyrocketed from the $10 million level of a few years back to a close-to-$- 40 million program in road construction for 1958. More and more industrial con-cerns are coming to Utah, as our natural advantages are more and more widely recognized. The reclamation construction at Glen Canyon and Flaming Gorge and the initial unit of the Central Utah project which I strong-ly hope will not be eliminated from the reclamation budget will stimulate the Utah econo-my.
