BROCHURE COllMITTEE
"Thia conunittee VIas originally appointed by President Stewart at the Board
Yeeting held in Salt Lake City in A
prU of 1956. If v;e are about to ' lay
nn egg, t to borrow an expression from show bus mess , we have a t least
had plenty of time to get the job done right .
liThe full coI!llTlittee includos m;ysel.f as Chairman, Idaho Director Frank
Sorgat z, Utah Director BUrnett Uend.ryx , and our combination executive
secret ary and publicity director , lAart in Canty/ell . Other tiIoo consuming
assignments invol vi ng considerabl e r esponsi bility , such as t he 89'er
M
Wie, and the proposed confer enc e at l!aza tlan, in addi t i on to t he travel
distance from Pnngu j.tch, have rnede it impractical for Burnet t t o tleet
with u s" ':iith h is lmOill1edge and consent, we havs, ther efor e, been
handi capp ed by 11 not i c eabl e miss i n our motor, but have pl ugged along
the best i~~ could on "three cylinders. Unfortunutely, Dir ector Sor gatz
c ould not avoi d a trip t o t he V-K3st coas t pri or to t he final c omplet i on
of thi s r eport . The baai c plan and format cf the project , however, was
discussed 'with him on several occasions J a..rlli it Can be l"epor t ed that his
thi.nking i s in a ccord 'wi t h the reconmenda t iona to f ollot'l.
U hat t his conr.tit tee i s about to present does not concern i tself alone
W
wi th th e publication of a brochure. It i s, on the other hand, a. c anprehensi ve , and th erefore, s ome\'lhat complicated progrum i1hich we b elieve may
s olve many of our trOst pressing problems. Considerable thought and
pl.anning has eona into the preparation of a present f),t ion aimed at introducine the various phases of the proeram in a logical and weU ordered
sequence. ~"!ith your permission, the comnittee, therefore, suggests that
notes bo token, and all questions and conments be reserved until the
c ompletion of this report. VIe mll tim ourselves in a better positi on to
put our jig-saw puzzl e t ogether after w have ~ of the pieces befor e us.
e
"I n the preliminary study of the problan, one outstanding fact became
bas i c ... that r egardless of how nmch money we set out to raise, the same
number of m:lles will have to be traveled if we are to include all of the
areas on out" three-nation highway system, with the same amount. of time am.
effort consumed. rle can aim high t or a im low . .. . and the same sldll am
pers everance " ill be re:}.uire::d to hit either mar k. Y
w
our comnittee has
el ect ed to aim high for the dual advantage of r ecoI!!!lending a finer program
and at the same time, r educ ing fixed overhead and promotionru. costs

lilt has already bean stnt ed that this committee haa co~eived and developed

of course, sums up that problem. in one nord.
nIt is a tVlo-pe.rt problen, 'r'Ia:ys and means to attract nay ntooiberehip on

C of C ROAD COMMl'lTEE
PROTESTS CANCELLATION
OF Iter CONVENTION
In an unprecedented move, the
Secretary of the J acksoq's Hole
Chamber of Commerce withdrew
at the last minute the invitation
issued on May 14 to the Inter~
national Highway association to
hold its annual fan meeting here,
The meeting was scheduled for
Oct. 7-8, and Afton, Wyoming, is
now taking over the mammoth
job of getting out aU new pro.
grams. advertising, invitations,
etc., in two weeks.
The Jackoon's Hole Chamber
of Commerce appealed. to the 8ger
Association last faU to help in
the fight to keep 89 from being
routed. through Idaho and West
Yellowstone, and also to keep the
road open through Yellowstone.
The association was of great assistance, and 8 local 8ger Club
was formed within the Chamber
of Commerce. This was a mistake
because if the net: Club was out
of the Chamber we could have
gone a1tead and sponsored this
meeting without having to depend on ~ the Chamber of Commerce.
,
Reasons for withdrawing the
invitation?-SomeG1le might have
to exert '8 little effort to entertain
the visitors.
Local members wishing to attend the convention should contact the Afton 8gers club.

that this is impcssib:"e mg,ESS the host has a fair

IT IS N0T UNUSUAL in Conventions of thi s kind for advance registra tions to
be slo,, ; since potential delegates have the responsibility of a business to
operate, a nd often cannot plan such a trip too far in advanceo There are
however . who huve long since decided to attend this Convention ,
othe r s ~
but have neglected the little social nicety of advising their host t o set
another place at the table.
IN F.\CT , the reason some Conventions are a success and well
attended usually can be traced to good lead ership at local l eve l,
ELU~ the fact that
many i ndividual. in positions of responsibility
have accepted their responsibility in the matter and have spent
saIDe of their time .i.'1B.ki ng sure that their o':m part icul al~ area will
be well represonted •• oand have their fail' share of voting streIlGth

The closing of this beautiful 90
mile sector of Western America's
major and most scenic. NorthSouth artery from mid-October to

a paralytic restraint on the potential economy and development
of numerous communities reaching from portions of Montana

into Utah.
For years, the project remained
a lone handed struggle on the part

Why these yea rly 89'er excuuions to Old Mexico? A grand vacalion. of course .. • but to what praclica} end?
We l ake the answer from the wrilings of Margaret L . Wright in
her weekly " Chamber of Commerce Corner" appearing in the Williams. Ari~ona NEWS.
Mn. Wright. who mos~ efficiently serves the Williams·Grand
Canyon Chamber of Commerce as Secretary· Manager. personally inte rviews thousands of Northern Arizona visUors each season. Along
with maps, brochu·res, and other prinled data dispensed. each interview is fla vored with a rare brand of friendliness and highly conta ·
gious enthus iasm which surely must spring from a sincere pride
in her home town. and fondness for her fe llow man.
Following Ihe 89'ers good ·will visit to Mazallan. Mn. Wright
headed her column with the perlinent question .•• " HOW LUCKY
CAN WE GET?", and proceeded 10 supply the answer.
She stressed the noticeable increase of "across·lhe-border" Iravel and tra de enjoyed by Soulhern Arizona as a rellu}t of planned
good-neighbor effort. a ided by r ecenlly improved Mexican highways.
AddUiona l good ·will generated Ihru the activities of our International Highway Association, PLUS a genuine fellow ship and appreciation of our gracious frie nds from be low the border can hasten
the expansion of th i!; new market and source of tourism to all points.
Mrs. Wri'1ht believes.
The column ended with a thoughl: worthy of serious considera·
tion by every tou rist-minded community along our e nlire threenalion highway. We quote . .. "Let's have Williams among Ihe first
to invite and welcome visiton from Mexico to our great Northe rn
Arilona."

Whi le Ihis compares with 445 members reported at th~ 1955
convention, the President pointed out that the actu~1 gam w~ s
substantially great\:r than indicated by ~ h e ?ompa~lson. ThIs
due to the fact tha t the 1955 membership fIgure Included all
Chambers of Commerce on the route which have since been
granted complimentary honorary memberships, and were ther~
fore not included in the 467 paid members reported at th is
mee;ing. It was reported that s i~i1ar complimentary memberships will be issued to all Canadian Chambers of Comme rce.

conserving association finances for publiCity and promotiona l
purposes.
CORRESPONDENCE
Messages to the delegates from Ernest R. Saran of Calgary ,
Alberta and Dan E. C. Campbell, Director of The Alber ta Travel
Bu reau were read by Executive Secretary Cantwell. Both
Canadian members had made advance registrations and exp ressed reg rets that last minute com~ l ications had made it impossible
for them to attend the convention.
ADVERTISING COMMITTEE
It was the recommenda tion of the Committee that two major
promotiona l activit ies receive top priority for the coming year.
(I) The publication of a highway gui~e type of .brochur: designed so as to illustrate and emphaSize. the vaf1o~s natIOnal
parks, national monuments, and outstandmg recreatlonal areas
adjacent to U. S. Route 89, Alberta Rou.te 2, an~ Mex ico Rou.le
IS, and also ca ll ing attention to vanous pomts of tOUTlst
interest in each loca l community served by the three-nation
highway system. (2) The making of a colored motion picture
film featuring as man y of these attraction s as footage would
permit for showing on televis ion and before various civ ic groups.
The Advertisi ng Committee also recommended that in repainting or erecting new sign s, members include SOme type
to s top a nd p ose a m om e nt. Ot h er s ill the pa r ty
wer e
b usy w ith th eir OW II cam eras a ttemptin g to ca pture th e
rare fo rm ations and d elicat e hues of this Southe r n Uta h F air y la nd

of s logan urging touri sts to "Stay on 89." The Committee
also pOinted out that many of the smaller towns along 89 do
not have a reliable sign painter, and that in many cases,
deali ngs with transient painters had resu lted in high ly unsatisfactory resul!s. It was suggested that the associa tion might
contact various reliahle sign painters whose services cou ld then
be recommended to the members.
AUDIT ING COMMITT EE
The Auditing Committee reponed that th e books and records
of Treasurer W. G. Bass had been audited and that source of
all income had been checked and verified. The Commiltee
further reported that the financial reports rendered by Execut ive Secretary, Martin H. Cantwell, had been verified a nd
found to agree with the Treasurer's records.

Two special meetings of the. 89'ers
Board of Directors were held dUring the
three day 1956 convention in addition to ~he
regular Annual Meeting of the executive
body.
Odds and ends of the year's unfinished
routine business were cleaned up at a
brief s pecial sessio n on Thursday even!ng
prior to the opening of the convention
and another spec ial meeting was called
directly following adjournment of the general membership session for the purp?se
of organizing the new board and selecllng
officers.
STEWART DRAITED
Di rectors Frank W. Sorgatz and Bentley
Mitchell were nominated for the tOp position of Association President. Bot ~ declined due to the press of personal bUSiness.
In cumbent Ray V. Stewart, who had announced his inten tions t o retire from the
presidency to permit new leadersh ip was
drafted to serve a third term by a unanimous vote.
Vice-President Bent ley Mitchell, of
Logan , Utah was unanimously re-el e~ted
to a second term, and W. G. Bass, of Wickenburg, Arizona who has held the of.fice
of Corpo ration Secretary-Treasurer Since
the birth of the Association was selected
to serve a thi rd term .
ANNUAL M EETI NG
The Annual Meeting of the board was
held on Saturday evening follow!ng the
sight-seeing tours of Bryce and Zion National Parks. Routine business included
the passage of several amendments to the
by-laws requ ired to conform with the
Articles of Incorporation as am mended by
the membership.
Matters reco mmended by the various
convention committees and indo rsed by
t he membership were discussed at length,
and committees were appointed to fo llow
through. Contracts retain ing Martin H.
Cantwell as Association Executive Secretary and granting the exclusive use of the
Assoc iation's name in connection with the
production, sale, and distribution of all
promotional item s were renewed for a
five year term.
BROCHURE AND MOVIE OKED
The recommendation pertaining t o the
publication of a new brochure and the making of a colored movie which had been approved by the conventio n, was discussed.
In view of the fact that the publication of
a well illustrated highway guide type of
brochure cou ld well involve an expenditure
of several thous and dollars, it was the unanimous opinion that the funds necessa ry
to finance a project of this magnitude
would have to be secured from the sale of
advert isi ng in the brochure.
Everyone agreed that the pub lication of
such a brochure during the coming yea r
was an absolu te necessi ty.
Commilt ies which had been appointed
at a previous board meeting to ex plore
ways and mean s of publishing the brochure and producing the 89'er movie were
instructed to proceed.
