PLEASE BE ON TIMEI SUBSCRIPTION RATES: EDITORIALS Selling is a lot like hunting A successful farm implement dealer claims that selling is a lot like hunting. In hunting you have to find the game before you shoot. In selling you have to locate a prospect before you can make a sale, he said. Advertising serves the merchant in the same way that a good dog serves the hunter. The dog covers fifty times as much area a man could cover. He covers it faster and more efficiently. To the hunter, the dog is a necessary and inexpensive investment. In the farm implement business and in most other retail lines it would be impossible to locate more than a small portion of the prospective customers without the aid of advertising, the dealer said. He pointed out that his newspaper advertising makes a complete survey of his trade area every week. This continuous search for new customers is basic to progressive retailing. The man who is satisfied with his old tractor today may have a breakdown and become a good prospect tomorrow. The same problems of locating prospective customers exist in selling automobiles, homes, clothing, furniture, insurance, bank services, or any consumer commodity. Because the fortunes of people change from day to day, no list of prospects is ever up to date. Only the complete coverage provided by a local newspaper gives the retailer assurance that all prospective customers have been Many flag s displayed to honor dead Memorial Day this year many citizens remembered to display their flags and it was a lovely sight traveling from one end of Utah County to the other to see the Stars and Stripes waving at the different cities main streets and at so many private homes. But, dont be hasty in putting the flag carefully away because June 14 is Flag Day. We should be especially anxious to display the flag on this particular Sunday. Also, in case you havent already heard, The Freedom Foundation and the Utah Department of Disabled American Veterans is sponsoring OPERATION CLOSE RANKS. These organizations are asking our support in flying our flag each day from May 30 to July 4. Dr. Kenneth D. Wells, President of the Freedom Foundation has stated their objective in this project as follows: Rekindle the fires of positive patrotism by building love and respect for Old Glory. This seems an easy way for each family in Utah to show their love for their country On ' so why dont we join the other states of the union and let people see that we still realize that this is the best country in the world to live in. If there is a young scout in your family this could be his personal responsibility each day to properly display and take down the flag during this period of time. But if a scout isnt a member of your household another member of the family will surely welcome this task. Like so many things in life patriotism and citizenship characteristics begin in the home so this can be a real opportunity for each of us to awaken our own love of country in ourselves and also pass it on to our neighbors, friends and family by our own actions during the time between now and including July Fourth. Wouldnt it be nice if our enemies could talk about all the flags proudly flying at our homes instead of the flag burning and such things which they really play-uLets unite and show them...Fly your flag! p? Consumer demand reduces prices Advocates of free enterprise believe that increased consumer demand will inevitably reduce, rather than increase, the price of goods and services to the consumer. As far, as consumer durables are concerned this theory has held up during Even during the the past past ten years in the United States, average family income has risen ten time faster than the cost of farm products and four times faster than the cost of all durable goods. But the affluent American is finding it "difficult to pay for new needs in the. area of personal services. Services which have increased in cost more rapidly than consumer income include: Medical care, repair services, building, skilled labor, legal service, and domestic help. half-centu- The question which now faces the free economy is whether or not increased demand will be able to reduce the skyrocketing cost of services (many of which were not even considered essential two decade ago.) The answer is to be found in farm production where labor has been replaced by machinery and has made the American farm the most efficient production unit in the world. It is to be found in modern health centers which have reduced cost of medical care of the aged by 300 per cent. It is to be found in computerized, medical and legal information. We live in a period when the demand for varied services arose so suddenly and dramatically that our economic structure was not geared to meet the need . Advertising and increasing demand can ultimately make them cheaply available. LETTERS EDITOR Shakespeare in his literary heaven had an opportunity to read the last issue of the Spanish Fork Press. If so, he must have had a vast satisfaction in noting that a couple of pretty school maams from Spanish Fork High School rushed to his rescue when some of his tragedies were slightingly referred to by B. Davis Evans. Dear Editor: I hope William !Not that the Bard of Avon needed any defense. His niche in the literary hall of fame is so secure that he could put all the criticism of the world in the corner of his eye and not inconvenience his sight a particle. Personally, I doubt if what B. Davis wrote would dissuade anyone from reading and enjoying Shakespeare. On the contrary, I would wager a dime or so that it has caused a few people to dust off a Shakespearean volume and out of curiousity, if for nothing else, peruse a few pages. Some philosopher once said: If your opponent talks about you, put him on your payroll it doesnt matter what he says, just so he talks. So keep on expressing your ideas, BrothEvans, and keep on taking exception, you who disagree. I like to read what you write, even though I do not always agree er with it. Only, may I suggest, that you do not make your mental brickbats so pointed and hurl them with such force that they make lasting wounds. Any comment on any subject is apt to reveal something hidden which should be brought to light. May I, by way of illustration, also quote a little Shakespeare: There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts. Two weeks ago I received a letter in regards to the closing of the Jefferson School I would like to tell the people of the school district that this letter said nothing of the good and help that has come through its operating. The only things that were mentioned were just a few things like this: We are one of the poorer school districts, higher tuition fee for public school students, fewer funds for library books per student," to keep a lot of those experimental programs operating like the Jefferson they would have to raise our taxes, and the people wouldnt like it. I dont think that the people would cry at all if their taxes were raised to support a program such as this if thats what the money would be spent for; but you know as well as I that the first thing to come out of these taxe would be a salary raise for the high officials who run the district and use whats. left to run the schools on. I still maintain that they could keep the school operating and not close it down, and its not because of the lack of funds that its closing, but the truth of the matter is that the school board and the superintendent dont want to keep it operating and cant be bothered with it. Ill give you a few of many facts that these' men have said to me and to others: There were more teachers in a classroom than Too many cars parked in students, How many cowards whose hearts are false As stairs of sand, yet wear upon their chins The beards of Hercules and frowning Mars; Who, inward searched, have livers white as milk! Elisha Warner The Payson Middle School band presented a band concert May 25th in Memorial Park. Parents, members of the student body and Senior Citizens attended.

It was a beautiful fall day last September that residents of Utah were shocked and saddened by the tragic news of an incident which threatened the life of this trusted the line of duty. public servant while-iTrooper Chuck Warren had stopped a stolen vehicle just west of Springville, His gun was holstered as he Utah. ordered the driver to step out of his car. Two shots, fired at point blank range, entered the troopers forehead, and as he fell, his assailant fled into the adjoining fields. After those crisis-ridde- n months Chuck was transferred to the University Hospital for therapy, where he steadily improved. Today he is at home with his family and continues to improve with the therapy received daily from the Payson City Hospital specilists. Each year crime and lawlessness eats more deeply into our society. And, each year we, as citizens, feel more and more dependent for our security upon the peace officer whose life is a committment to service in the line of peace and safety. As the acts of lawlessness multiply we also realize that the hazards and dangers of law enforcement multiply. Courage is that quality of the mind which enables a person to rrftet danger and opposition in order to make the world a better and safer place in which to live. When a police officer is gunned down, in the line of duty, as was Highway Patrol Trooper Charles Warren, it underscores just how often a policeman risks his life to protect the public. Chuck Warren was drawn into law enforcement by the desire to help other Never was there a time in the people. of the world when the application history of this principle was more needed - living in the service of others to promote safety, peace and happiness.
