Since these actions occurred when the nation was still at peace, the chain stores welcomed the referendum vote as an opportunity for the people of Utah to determine whether or not they wanted chain stores in Utah. However, after Pearl Harbor and the subsequent menacing sweep of Japanese aggression tow ard our shores, the Utah Chain Stores Association, in the interest of a united support of the war effort, proposed to the Utah Retail Grocers Association a joint action aimed at postponing the referendum for the duration.

Although a young women, Miss Pernal has appeared with many of the world's most famous orchestras, among them The B. B. C. of London, the Leeds, the Helsinki Philharmonic, the Toronto, the Montreal, with and the Boston Symphony Koussevitsky conducting. The performance will also honor the achievements of a Utah composer, Professor eRoy J. Robertson, whose "Festival Overture" awarded the Endlcott prize in 19-2- 3, will be played.

Although over five weeks have passed, we have not been advised of any action upon our invitation, and Mr. Sherman P. Lloyd, in a report to the members of the Utah Retail Grocers Association, published in the. March issue of the "Intermountain Retailer", states that our proposal for unity is to be ignored. Mr. Lloyd writes: "The officers of the Association immediately met to consider what action should be taken to meet the chain store It soon became apparent that the wisest proposal course to follow, for the present at least, was to maintain an attitude of silence and in the meantime build our own resources and our own facilities to the point where we will be able to follow through on any action which we start . . . When the Association begins this fight, we will use our own weapons, choose our own battle field and ask our own questions." ... 44 Will S. B. was received by Mrs. Wanda White, Monday of the serious illness of her mother Mrs. Vina Pearce at Las Vegas, Nevada. On The Ballot Next November 3rd It is clear that Mr. Lloyd prefers to continue his campaign to drive the chain stores out of Utah, and that we have failed in our effort to postpone this internal controversy until after the war. Therefore, S. B. 44 will appear on the ballot next November 3rd. However, we firmly believe with the Provo "Daily Herald" that "If we don't win the war, chain stores taxes and a lot of other things just won't matter." . . . Therefore, regardless of any political activities by Mr. Lloyd and his group, the Utah Chain Stores Association and our members will continue to devote our maximum energies to the war effort. We will concentrate "our own resources and our own facilities" on the following program: Utah Chain Store Pledge We will work wholeheartedly in all state and federal war proin which our facilities can be of assistance, with particular attenjects tion to maintaining an aggressive effort in the sale of defense bonds and stamps. 2. We will strive to the utmost to serve consumers and the home front by maintaining the flow of necessities needed for civilian welfare and morale. 1. 3. We will keep retail prices at the lowest possible level and strive further to eliminate every unnecessary distribution cost. We will cooperate with Utah agriculture and other producers in developing new and better markets for Utah products in Utah and other states. 4. 5. We will furnish assistance and information to all persons terested in distribution and its problems. in- 6. We will assist the managers of the Utah Chain Stores in each community to continue intensively their cooperation with all civilian defense, civic and charitable activities.
