Show Wednesday, Nov. 24, 1976 Pegs 2 THE Newspaper , Talk kl HowHbout lt? 1 J fuMtc iceg . . : THE ART CENTER With the metamorphosis from caterpiller to butterfly completed (almost), a once i rundown, 1 abandoned garage was presented to the public Saturday, reincarnated as a giant step in Park City's maturation process. The Kimball Art Center became a reality. Just as the expletives of Friday's frantic late night workers gave way to the lofty words of dedication day speeches, the "They'll never do it" predictions were replaced by "I don't believe it" exclamations. And unbeleiveable it is. Very selfom dreams comes true so quickly and Park City owes a debt of gratitude to those who were instrumental in turning the frog into a prince on such short notice. v, : Thanks go to Director Alan Crooks and his staff. Thanks go to the Board of Trustees. Thanks go to the many workers who labored so feverishly, doing so much in so little time. But most of all, thanks go to Mr. William Kimball who allowed a conviction to blossom into a community showpiece. It took guts, faith and money and the city can use all three. The hope here is that we know what we have and we learn' to use it. The Center is a community jewel but rather than a precious stone we should look upon it as an industrial diamond something valuable that is used to create things more valuable, not something that is to be admired from afar. Thanks again to all involved. We'll prove we're deserving. Letters to the Editor Editor; I am running for the non-remunerative post of four-year Commissioner of the Park City Fine District.

In 1975 alone the Secret Service seized a total of J55 million worth of conterfeit currency, the agent reported. Although it is estimated that 97 to 98 percent of all counterfeit money is confiscated confisca-ted before it is passed, the remaining 2 to 3 percent amounted to a $3,624,008 loss incurred by the public in 1974. "It is an epidemic," the agent explained, "because it is very easy for people to have access to sophisticated off-set presses." Using a simple process of taking a photograph and making an off-set plate from it, a printer can crank out over a million dollars in twenty dollar bills in less than eight hours, Kolson estimated. ' km m a v u r is a i What do you think of the Gary Mark Gilmore extravaganza? Marsha Wellever I feel that Gilmore is manipulating all of us and we are all falling right into it. He is an intelligent man who knows what he is doing and one of his games is his "acting out" behavior to get attention. He should get an Oscar for his game this time. O.D. McGee Oh shoot! exploited beyond its merit. It is strictly a case of overkill. Steakhouse The guy obviously has a death wish. Why not let Charles Bronson at him? Marc Friedman Why don't they just let the guy go in peace. I feel society is interrupting with his right to die; but where do you draw the line? Jean Piatt I don't even want to talk about it. It sounds like it has gotten to the point where he arid his girl friend are just trying ti Bob Rosen I think it's time ana money, tie s ooviousiy taKing sensationalist attitude toward the whole thing. Secret Service Although "twenties" ditionally have been tra-the tra-the favorite bills for counterfeiters, counterfeit-ers, Kolson told the group, "Maybe it's because of the high rate of inflation, but we're seeing more and more $100 bills." The high quality of "bad money" printed by off-set presses was attested to by a counterfeit twenty that received a number of "oohs," and "ahs" and "I, don't believe its" from the crowd of business people. According to the agent, the best way to detect a counterfeit bill is to compare it to another bill and closely examine the depth of the pictures and the fine details in such things as the shrubbery that surrounds the White House on a twenty. If you are suspicous of the authenticity of the bill, ask the person who gave it to you if they would wait for a minute while you receive an opinion from the local police department, the agent suggested. "If the person that passed The entire story has been to get as mucn press ridiculous. a waste of the taxpayers a Agent Kolson. the bill knows it is counterfeit counter-feit they will probably run. If they are unaware they will probably be interested to stick around and find out," the agent added. "Never try to stop or detain anyone yourself, although, if possible, do not give the money back to the person," Kolson told his audience. If a person should run, immediately write down information in-formation such a physical description and license plate numbers if, available, the agent advised. , F.B.I. Agent Bill Obur-stead, Obur-stead, who spoke on the dangers of 'con men' told the group, "Everyone has the opinion that it can't happen to me. Well I'm telling you it can, and will happen to you." Having worked in Utah for eight years, the F.B.I, agent said the majority of cases involving fraud occurs in small towns. After relating how con-men have worked in the area, Oburstead informed the group, "Utah is an excellent territory for con-men because of the trusting and naive EpSdlbinniiie GDC3 ouuco .McGee 1 I 4 ,;, -3fjf ff "mmwQ Wj Bob Rosen nature of many of its people." In detecting a con-man the F.B.I, man suggested being careful of the slick dresser who drives a flashy car. According to the agent, "The more glib of tongue a person is, the more you have to worry about it." Speaking to business gathering on the dangers of credit card frauds, spokesmen spokes-men from Master Charge and Bank Americard urged merchants to carefully cross check different sources of identification. Most frauds' occur during peak hours, the experts warned. The fraud clinic program was concluded by the showing show-ing of "Battle of Wits," a .film which illustrates the different techniques of passing pass-ing fraudlent travelers checks. According to the h firm, the best protection against receiving bad traveler's travel-er's checks is to carefully watch the signing, of each individual check and then compare it to the original signature on the top of the check.
