He's the one to whom everyone turns when they have tickets to sell for a drawing. He gets the first call when solicitors for the Salvation Army and other worthy charities come to town. The parade never ends it runs on like a brook, and how the retailer in this and every town can face these unending funds, meet them with a smile, reach for the check book or refuse (still with a smile), and remain in business is one of the miracles of this and every Main Street in America. Lets give the business man in our community a pat on the back for the many contributions he makes every year-a- nd then let's go a little farther. Why don't we make it a point to try and buy everything we can in his store? Instead of passing him and going to some larger merchandising center without even giving the home town merchant a chance to make a sale, why can't we be fair and see him first, tell our needs, and inform him if he doesn't have the merchandise on his shelf. We might even tell him that what we need isn't only a matter of price but of quality, that we want the best that can be had, and give him an opportunity to order it for us. We would have a much better and a more progressive town and community if we took time to consider the innumerable things our local merchants contribute for the betterment of all. Often they are unsung and unappreciated loyal citizens who do many fine things for all of us which we may fail to realize. Our town can be just as fine, modern and progressive as we are willing to make it if we cooperate in every way, by giving all possible patronage to those to whom we turn whenever we need contributions or aid in promoting local and community projects. Parking Regulations For Magna To Be Drafted In Ordinance If proposals made by the Magna Council, approved Community and drafted by the Salt Lake County Commissioners and attorney culminate, this community will soon have an ordinance regulating parking on Magna Main Street.
