Show Universal Microfilm HI Picrpont Ave. PRESS TIME On Monday and Tuesday of this week I spent quite a bit of my time watching and listening to the trial of Phillips Petroleum Co., Standard Oil of California, and the Deseret Investors Group vs. Beaver County. This case is now before the Court and it will be decided there and, probably in the state Supreme Court, not in this newspaper. However, as I listened and watched the parade of witnesses a very ugly picture formed in my mind. It was a picture of the meeting in the board room of either of the oil companies when the decision to go ahead on the trial was made. In my mind's eye I saw the chairman sum up the meeting with the table and walls covered with charts and pictures and graphs, after the discussions concluded and all present knew of our feelings in the matter as well as the faith shown by the other companies who have built their stations here in Beaver during the past few years. My mental picture had the chairman saying, "OK, that's it. We cross Beaver off and' set up on the Freeway. The public isn't going to want to stop there after the road is built and the town is going to get clobbered. We set up on the freeway and what they lose we get." Nothing but business, cold hard and grasping with the devil take the hindmost. At that point it struck me that these two companies and their boards had missed what could have been a tremendous opportunity. Suppose the summation had been something like this: "We have been doing business in Beaver for many years. We have taken in hundreds of thousands of dollars there in the past and the people living there have built their economy around our businesses and the public we serve. The other companies have shown their good faith and we ought to do likewise. Let's go to work and figure out how we can help to provide the services and help attract the public to leave the freeway there for service. In short, let's demonstrate that we know what it means to be citizens of a community." Now consider for a moment, these two companies collect millions, perhaps billions of dollars annually from their customers which they pass on to various arms of government. You and I, their customers, pay the taxes but they collect them and pass them on in the form of checks. Because of these checks for taxes and the tremendous amounts of money they control, mese companies are highly regarded in circles political. Now suppose these companies with their political influence had made studies and found a way to help make this city a stopping point for the traveling public and had used their influence on that behalf. By so doing they could have easily accomplished their to serve purported objective the traveling public and maintain their position financially and at the same time they could have created a new and complimentary image of themselves with the local people. Execute a program of that nature on a national basis and you can see millions of dollars worth of good will which could have been gained at no expenditure whatsoever. Instead, at least in this community, a reserve of hate and ll is being created which will probably never be forget-te- n nor forgiven , by those of us who watch and live through it. The thing that is really surprising is the failure at least apparent failure on the part of these companies to anticipate the local reaction to their action. They come In to an economically depressed area which has been so designated by the Federal government which is spending millions of dollars to help such areas overcome their problems and become better places to live with more economic opportunities. What chance for success do those programs of the government have when polic'es of such giant corporations as these are based on greed and greed alone? Beaver is not going to die economically or otherwise notwithstanding the efforts of these greedy corporations to kill it. I predict that you and I are going to succeed and that Beaver will become a better place to live and will, slowly but surely, have expanded opportunities which will take care of the Job needs of the young as they come of age. That will happen anyway but it would have been much easier had the heads of these been men of corporations ill-wi- 4 VOLUME 62, NUMBER The Weather mutt mm By George Cv Date Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan BEAVER, 'UTAH 84713, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 196-- ; SINGLE COPY 10c .

Firms must also furnish a statement of total payments for the year to persons receiving dividends and interest amounting to $10 or more.
