News that the Readers Digest is featuring an article on the Navajos in the March issue is being greeted with enthusiasm by civic leaders in the Four Corners area. "This kind of publicity will bring more tourists through Utah to the Navajo Reservation," Reser-vation," says Joe Norton, president presi-dent of the Monticello Chamber of Commerce. The Reader's Digest article, titled "The Navajos Feel the Wind of Progress," tells how the Navajo Tribal Council is using revenues from Four Corners oil and gas for a heartening self-help program of education, health, and industrial in-dustrial development. "Our largest Indian tribe emerges from poverty by showing show-ing good sense in handling good fortune;" says author O. K. Armstrong. He describes the Utah Construction Company's Com-pany's plan to utilize Reservation Reser-vation coal deposits for electric power production, and the Tribe's own multimillion-dollar sawmill project. The Navajos have capital and labor to assist further industrial development, and this in turn will add to the prosperity of Utah and other Southwestern states. |
