In fact, the newspaper took every opportunity to vent its disgust. Despite the fact that the Orientals had contributed to the construction of the railroad leading into Park City and provided cheap labor in the mining min-ing camp, the Record felt that they were uncivilized heathens. The paper complained bitterly that there were now three Chinese laundries on Main Street, with another "filthy wash house" being built next to the post office. Editor Sam Raddon called upon the City Council to do something about these businesses, which he claimed were dirty, unhealthy fire traps that were a blight to Main Street. His solution to the problem was to pass an ordinance or-dinance requiring all "heathen shops" to be located together in Chinatown. This, he said, would present pre-sent no injustice to either the Chinese or the decent property owners in town. As far as Radden was concerned, the Chinese were From Time to Time "objectionable to every citizen." Worse than their filthy businesses, the editor said the "Celestials" were careless, citing a fire that had broken out in the laundry across from City Hall. If it were not for Mr. Smith, the butcher, taking note of the flames as he walked to his smokehouse, the consequences of such carelessness would have been serious for the town, reprimanded the editor. It's time to take action, he bellowed to the City Dads ! 25 Years Ago Local residents Pete Toly, Clyde Street and Mel Fletcher recently organized the Park City Rescue Group, a valuable addition to a town that seemed to be long on potential hazards and short on funds to formulate for-mulate full-time professional aid groups. The group announced an upcoming up-coming meeting at City Hall, and cordially invited anyone who was interested in-terested in volunteering and who had a four-wheel-drive vehicle that could be pressed into immediate service ser-vice when disaster arose. Also invited in-vited were citizens who had "special" talents, such as first aid, mountaineering, or radio experience. ex-perience. News of a social nature included that Lillian Bircumshaw won the blue ribbon at the County Fair for her entry of a beautiful afghan. Barbara Bar-bara Smith, daughter of the Farley Smiths, married Charles Price, with the couple making their home in Daniel. And, the school attendance figures were released. The high school enrollment was the same as the previous year with 178 students. Marsac was up 11 pupils for a total of 211. 10 Years Ago Front-page news that week was that the new moderate income housing hous-ing project being constructed by developer Frank Richards was due to be completed by Dec. 1. The 40-unit project was adjacent to what was then the new high school on highway 248 in the Holiday Ranch area. Created to help provide affordable affor-dable housing for the town's work force, the units were renting for $145 a month for one bedrooms and $175 for two bedrooms. New to town was Potato John's restaurant at the base of the Park City Resort. It was owned and operated by Everett and Maria Tate, who had come to visit son Randy, Ran-dy, liked the area, and decided to pull up roots in San Diego. They left behind a flourishing business called Tater's, but brought with them a knack for cooking good food and creating a fun atmosphere. Among other menu items was the special of the house, "Taterburgers", a delicacy the Tates promised to be serving when they televised football games and the great "Carter-Ford-Who Knows debate" the following week. According to an impressed im-pressed reporter from The Newspaper, "Beer, burgers and football all rolled up into one sounds hard to pass up. Even, and we know you won't find this hard to believe, when you have a newspaper to print." What is Park City Dry Goods?

Some of our members had gone to the Ice Capades so only eight members were present. Lola Wheelwright presiding, the lesson was "They came in '86," and told many of the events of that year. Plans were made for us to attend the national convention to be held at the Hotel Westin on Oct. 3, 1986. The group also made plans to go on Monday to the Snyderville cemetary for a general clean-up in preparation for next spring spr-ing and summer. We are hoping to have it really looking great by the time the road is finished and our historical plaque is ready. I had a very pleasant surprise on Monday afternoon when Glenn Chadwick dropped by to say hello, he was quite concerned with what is to happen at the change of the Memorial Building and what will happen to the veterans artifacts some of which belonged to his father, Howard. Glenn is with the Air Force Reserve and has been living liv-ing in Layton for the past twelve years.He has been' transferred to Phoenix, Ariz., and is in the process of moving there now. He said he hadn't found many of the old families still here so he ask where many of them are now. It was nice too see him and help catch up with old friends and where they are. Boredom. . .?
