TONED in the same paragraph with IT,
The thousand Islands are dream,
that's all, and every American should
see them and know those lakes before
he can knox his country. And Utah
people, why ] struck them everywhere.
/ do believe Utah people travel more
than any other people on earth. They
60 away up into Canada and over to
Europe without thinking ii much Of a
trip.

tourists couldn't be found there were
missionaries. ! met two Of them from
