Hurst, Southwest Regional Forester, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a native of Panguitch, Utah, made the following announcement concerning the transfer: Seaman has been Supervisor of the Carson National Forest, with offices in Taos, New ATTITUDE MEANS MUCH Two weeks ago Barco of Utah sponsored an open house at their new plant in Kanab. Last week we ran a welcome to Barco issue. Now the celebrating has ended and the company has settled down to the task of producing top fashion g uniforms for the professions, and the job of producing a profit. What effect this new plant will have on the economic outlook of this area is interesting to contemplate. At the present time Barco is hiring about 40 people locally. Figuring a 40 hour week, at $1.60 an hour and that makes a monthly payroll of over $10,000. With this extra amount, which was not here before, now in the hands of pockets of local citizens, it will make some of those things heretofore, just a little out of reach available. It will make savings accounts look like better security. It may make a little happier Christmas for some kids who otherwise might not have enjoyed it as much. A new industry in a small town is always viewed with different feelings by different people, and with mixed emotions by many. Many would like to see the old home town stay just like it is. Others feel that additional payroll is necessary in the area in order to progress. Some think the womans place is in the home, but feel the additional economic boost will be a great shot in the arm in other ways too. Whatever the true facts are, we feel sure Barco is here to stay. They have put a great deal of money into the renovation of the building they occupy. Certainly they expect to build their business and expand in this area, with this type investment. Some of us have viewed their coming with a lackadaisical attitude: If they make it thats fine, but dont expect me to help, no one helped me get started. Others have pitched in to help all they could to get the plant located and in operation. Some have been afraid that someone was making a dime on the deal so Im not helping. Some have felt it would hurt us in that it would bring wages up in the area. This it will do. In fact there are businesses which already have felt the impact in that manner. And some of these businessmen are the very ones who worked so hard to get the industry here. And again these same men will, in spite of these disadvantages go right on trying to bring other industries in. Bill Smirl, in welcoming Barco to Utah, pointed out that this type industry is ideal. They cause no air pollution, they take nothing away from our area, but they Mex., since April, 1964.

A large amount of industry can change the complexion of an area, for good, or for bad. The burden of the outcome depends largely upon the people who already live here. If we can continue to he the friendly, helpful people we should be, then the result will be more friendly people living in harmony with each other. The success of one industry will encourage others to come, and so the responsibility of making our communities favorable places in which to live and rear families becomes greater. However, the interesting challenges, the opportunities and blessings also enlarge along with the responsibilities. May we in this area enjoy greater prosperity, yet at the same time not lose sight of the importance of moral and social responsibility is our hope.

Many great national magazines and regional newspapers have been in financial trouble in recent years from too much circulation. The paradox is d,,a to the fact that the American reader is accustomed to paying only a fraction of the cost of his newspaper and magazines. When advertiser are not willing to pay for increased circulation, a publication loses money and loses it fast. Ironically, while national publications are facing a crisis, an increasing number of hometown newspapers are flourishing as never before. The difference is related to the concentration of circulation and the appeal and impact of local retail advertising. ment, Dick said. The Revenue and Expenditure Contrel Act of June 28, 1968, (P.L. requires that only three out of each four permanent vacancies in the Federal Government be filled. Recent exemptions given to several Federal agencies by the Congress have resulted in the Bureau of the Budget even further limiting the filling of permanent vacancies to seven out of ten. WANTED BY THE FBI Hurst ais: made the following appraisal of his past work and future responsibilities: While on the Carson National Forest Don was deeply involved in many activities and dealt with many different groups of people, including livestock operators, lumbering interests, and a large number of recreationists. His job was made most interesting by the fact that citizens of Spanish American descent and Pueblo Indians, as well as Anglo Saxons, occupied and used the area over which he had supervision. This mixing or blending of races made the work most interesting. His contribution in improving the forage resource of these public lands was significant. On the Coconino National Forest, one of the largest timber producing units in the Region, he will be challenged with this big timber assignment, in addition to other activities, not the least of which will be handling the thousands cf people who visit this beautiful area for recreational purposes. Don, son of the late Frank W. Seaman, a long time Forester on the Dixie National Forest, attended CSU in Cedar City, and served in the Navy during World War II. He is married to the former Gaye Davis of Venice, Utah, who also attended John 'William Clouser, a Florida mental hospital escapee, who has vowed not to be taken alive, is one of the FBIs Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. On the night of April 2, 1964, Clouser and three other inmates escaped from the Florida State Hospital In Chattahoochee and reportedly forced two hospital employees to drive them to the Columbus, Georgia, area. The hostages were robbed but released unharmed. A Federal warrant Issued at Montgomery, Alabama, on April 9, 1964, charges Clouser with transporting a stolen car from Georgia to Alabama, where the stolen car was recovered abandoned. A former police officer, Clouser was admitted to the Florida State Hospital In February, 1904, after being adjudged mentally insane. He was then facing numerous criminal charges and had earlier been convicted of participating in the robbery, kidnapping and beating of two theater managers. His conviction was appealed, however, due to a state error, and he was released and granted a new trial. He is a white American, born at Chicago, Illinois, on March 29, 1932. He is 59" tall, weighs from 1G3 to 180 pounds and has blond hair, blue eyes, a stocky build and ruddy complexion. He is tattooed with a panther on his right shoulder and a heart pierced with an arrow on his left shoulder. He is described as a sadist who would not hesitate to bent a victim to death, is an expert pistol shot, exercises and lifts weights regularly and is proficient In Judo and Karate. Consider him extremely dangerous. Should you receive any information concerning the whereabouts of John William Clouser, you are requested to immediately notify the nearest office of the FBI, the telephone number of which may be located on the first page of local telephone directories. Oklahomans Nominate Favorite Son As National March of Dimes Child Tracy Greenwood, March The Road Report .... by arba TAKE LESSON FROM WEEKLIES Several million subscribers to the venerable Saturday Evening Post have been informed that the magazine no longer wants their business. The new publisher of the publication feels that it is economically sound to reduce circulation about 50 per cent. The action of the Post tells much about the economics of publishing and advertising. It recognizes that quality and concentration of circulation is of more importance to advertisers than quantity and spread. In its drastic cutback, the Post is attempting to gain some of the advantage which is automatically delivered to advertisers by community newspapers. By concentrating around selected urban centers, the magazine hopes to attain a more sharply defined reader-shi- CSU, and they ae the parents of three sons, Michael, 16, Leslie, 13, and Richard, 8.

He wrestles with his older brother, Jamie, and takes care of his menagerie of pets. None of this is easy for Tracy. Born with an open spine and hydrocephalus (water on the brain), the handsome, impish youngster is encumbered by full leg braces and wooden crutches. Yet, as any visitor to the Greenwoods neat home in Velma can see, Tracy has conquered the heavy equipment with humor, and the constant encouragement of his family. Doctors were pessimistic about his chances for survival when Tracy was born. They feared permanent brain damage if he lived and doubted whether he would walk at all. At 3 months, he was taken to Childrens Memorial Hospital in Oklahoma City where the March of Dimes supports a Birth Defects Center, and has undergone major surgery five times. For Tracy, the March of Dimes program of comprehensive care consists of regular checkups by an orthopedist, neurologist, urologist and physical therapist. His mother helps him with daily exercises at home. Today, he is a symbol of the quarter of a million babies bom every year in the United States with birth defects. As National Poster Child, he will represent them in cities and towns across the country during January for the annual appeal by the March of Dimes.

Bright, happy and his full day at 7 a.m. He spends as much time as possible playing outdoors with his brother, Jamie, who is 7 and in normal health. Tracy is developing extra strength in his upper body as a result of his exercises. He puts this advantage to work during wrestling matches with Jamie and proudly announces the news when he gets his brother. Tracy is an avid television fan whose tastes run to cartoons. His favorite books are well-adjuste- d, be1-gi- ns animal stories and he lavishes attention on his rabbits, Hoppy and Freckles, his cat, Prissy, a Welsh Terrier named Susie, and Puff, a German Shepherd. The Greenwoods drew the notice- of fellow Sooners after local news stories appeared about the tragedies they had faced and overcome. Mr. Greenwood suffered near-fat- al injuries three years ago when the gasoline truck he was driving exploded. Betty Greenwood carried on courageously and has been rewarded by the excellent progress that both her husband and son are making. As a result, the March of Dimes was bombarded with petitions on Tracy's behalf from thousands of Oklahomans, including U. S. ConCarl Aibert (D. gressman Okla.), House Majority Leader. |
