Show October 25, 1963 THE EUREKA (UTAH) REPORTER Page Eighteen EDITORIAL Thanks given for help It would be an impossibility to list and give credit to all our fine old timers, who have had a hand in settling Tintic. If any of the real old timers have been overlooked in this centennial edition, it has been on the part of your Reporter, and not an over-siglack of appreciation of their worthwhile efforts and struggles through the passing years, and we pay tribute to one and all in this edition. It might be said in passing that a full measure of appreciation is also due the many wonderful people who have remained in Tintic and kept it going through the years the businessmen who have kept their establishments going through some very bad times the depression, the lean years when employment was at a low ebb, and who were loyal and trusting enough to extend credit to men out of work and help them over the hump so to speak, until employment picked up again. Many of the names arc listed in the advertising in the paper, and we feel that they should be given recognition in the centennial edition. The churches and the various organizations in town should also come for their share in backing all worthwhile civic projects in town and giving assistance to those in need. We also feel that recognition should be given to the over 80 club, those who have contributed much of Eureka, looking southwest. Numbers indicate mines: 1.

The church mentioned is st'll in use and its members are very active under the able guidance of Rev. Russell Tanner, who also presides at the Method'st Church in Tooele.
