yourself overlook one in the big hole,

is the latest plan sponsored by the
national park service Of the Depart
ment Of the Interior.
The contemplated additions to the
already famous scenic section Of the
Grand canyon of the Colorado are
in Arizona and Utah. These will form
a northern chain, which. II anything,
will give the southern chain OF the
Grand canyon, the Painted Desert and
other magnets for tourists keen COM
petition for eminence in the future.
Three links Of the chain are ready
for the legislative forging. The
fourth is Zion National Park, already
establishing a reputation for sheer
natural beauty. To Zion National
Park it Is proposed to add q. section
farther north in Utah. which will
become the Cedar Breaks section Of
the park. Farther to the east in the
same state is Bryce canyon. q rival
of the Brand canyon itself. which Is
to become a Utah state park. And
the other link. IL plans Of Stephen +.
Mather, director of the national park
service; Senator Reed Smoot OF Utah

the greatest and most binding OF the
quartet. This section is the pro-
