Show Sditoml COiUMCHt Regrettable Notoriety The fame of the Manti slide has reached far. Reports filter in of articles in West Coast papers and as far east as New York. The unusual happenings have been studied by many professional people and reports submitted to organizations all over the nation. Almost daily a Manti resident hears from a relative in a far-ocity saying that the slide has received publicity in their area. Perhaps we should be puffed up in our pride that our area has been thus publicized in so many places. But the negative aspects of the situation have far over shadowed any positive results from the publicity. The overall picture that has been painted is that Manti is somehow not a good place to live. The worst consequence is the loss of the proposed industrial park. Just as several companies were ready to move on this project, the flood threat was publicized. Immediately the project sponsors abandoned Manti as their location and selected Mt. Pleasant instead. These industries would have added much to the economy of the city, adding people and payroll. Now theyre gone. Certainly city officials and others who had authority in the situation were right in taking the action they took. Although the possibility of an actual flood ocurring was admittedly remote, it was necessary to plan for the possibility that a flood could in fact occur. How much better it is to be prepared for the worst than to be caught unprepared. Mayor Frank Wanlass has said repeatedly that he did not want the citizens of Manti to become unduly alarmed because the danger wasnt that great, but that he did feel obligated to let people know that the possibility existed and they could take any action which they desired. Work and money that has been expended will be of real benefit to the city even if a flood does not occur. The real problem came with the of the threat by a large segment of the news media. Manti people were pretty well aware of the remote chances of a flood, but outsiders, such as those working on the industrial park, would certainly take a dim view of investing money here after reading and hearing much of the news by those who were more interested in gaining readers and listeners than in correctly projecting the situation. Now the experts tell us that the danger of a flood is remote. Great! We knew that all the time, some say. The slide is still moving. The industrial park is gone! ff iSMnnromTBw Hih Scho1 Manti Wednesday of last week, MHS student body members viewed a film sponsored by the Sanpete County Sheriff's department.
