Show and it behooves every Utahn who comes in contact with out-of-state visitors to see that they receive only the best of treatment. treat-ment. The puint is well illustrated by Editor A. N. Rytting, publisher of the Bear River Valley Leader. We quote Editor Rytting's editorial edi-torial as follows: "We little know how our actions ac-tions are going to impress tourists and visitors about our community. "RecenUy a tourist couple asked directions to find a certain cer-tain family in the valley and the service station attendant was courteous enough to draw a diagram for them to follow. Upon reaching the home of their friends, they were loud in their praise of the kind treatment they had received, commenting 'That it must be nice to live in a community where everyone is so kind' and .considerate." Spotlighting I UTAH PICTURES TO RUSSIA The magazine "Amerika," published pub-lished in New York by the New York state department and which is distributed in the Soviet So-viet Union, has asked the Utah department of publicity and industrial in-dustrial development for a series se-ries of photos depicting Utah's public campgrounds and the manner in which they are used. The pictures are to show the Russians just how we, out here in Utah, seek recreation in camps maintained by public money. The public campgrounds in the forested Mirror Lake section, with cold water piped to every camp site, permanent camp stoves, tables, benches and clean toilet facilities, are included in the pictures being sent to the magazine "Amerika." In the meantime, the magazine maga-zine "Look" has asked the Utah publicity department for a series se-ries of photos telling a complete "Utah story." It seems that the world is fast learning that Con-fucious Con-fucious was right when he said: "One picture is worth ten thousand thou-sand words." ROCKETS VERSUS CATTLE A paramount problem, facing the Utah State Cattle and Horse Growers' Association, is the U. S. army's insistence on utilizing that grerst barren 300-mile stretch of desert from Wehdover south paralleling the Utah-Nevada state line for an army rocket rock-et test ground. The army wants 2,889,000 acres to test rockets, perfect bombing practices, and carry on other military experiments. experi-ments. While the map indicates that the western sections of Tooele, Juab and Millard counties coun-ties have no towns, yet the cattle cat-tle growers association declare i that should this area be taken by the army for a rocket test range, the cattle and sheep busi-nes busi-nes of Utah will be ruined, the state will be deprived of an annual an-nual income of $5,000,000 and 2000 families will be affected, t The use of the land in question by the army would cripple the winter sheep and cattle range of the counties mentioned, it is pointed out. Through the efforts of Sen. Abe Murdock, Secretary of War Robert Patterson has directed the district army engineer to conduct a public hearing on the matter at the West high school, Aug. 21, at 10 a.m. ' TOURISTS CROWD ROADS i A two-hour check was recent- ly made by the Utah department j of publicity and industrial development devel-opment on a road east of Salt-Lake Salt-Lake City to determine the amount of tourist automobile traffic.
