Johnson, past owner of the Lamp-Lightis taking on most of the little rural community of Granite. He wants to open a restaurant there because he thinks "it is the most beautiful land around residents agree Granite with Mr. Johnson about the beauty of the land, but thats about all. At a county commission meeting August 19, about 40 residents bombarded the commissioners with protects. Their spokesman Ralph Bishop, 9521 S. 3365 East, said a request had been made to sone 14 acres of the land (or commercial purposes. ! Jph McClure, of the zoning department said that this request hadnt come before the planning commission yet. Commissioner Marvin G. J enson advised the harrassed citirens of Granite that they were premature, they concurred but said this was a special problem the commissioners er, JUST LEAVE US ALONE Pleads Ralph Bishop, flanked by residents of tiny Granite, Utah who appeared before the Salt Lake County Commission August 19 to protest commercial development in their community. from THE BUTTON BOX Its Piquenique I always enjoy reading about Somehow, I never picnics. seem to attend the kind everyone else wntes about but maybe someday Ill be lucky enough to attend a real House and Beautiful -- Gourmet-House Garden soiree in a bosky dell lush, gree grass, a babbling brook, and giant, towering oaks. (NaturaUy, no ants.) People in House Beautiful travel forth with a wicker hamper (either Imported from Fortnum 4 Masons or inherited from Abercrombie 4 Fitch) outfitted with real silver, linen napkins, breast of guinea hen, and chilled strawberries. A bottle of champagne in a baroque, sterling cooler completes the picture. If children are involved in these 6tory book picnics, they all wear broad leghorn hats, organdie dresses or sailor suits, and are exceedingly ' They always say "please and "thank you and speak only when spoken to. Babies never go on these picnics; they are left at home d. . with their Nannies. (Naturally, if you can afford the wicker hamper from A 4 F or V.L. 4 A., you dont have to worry about finding a Nanny. You already have one.) The kind of picnics I seem to get involved with are the ones that come equipped with children, babies, dogs, squashed chocolate bars, and sticky steering wheels. Nothing Gourmet or House Beautiful about any of it. Because, basically, a picnic is a messy business. And its precisely because its messy that the idea of "picnicing has endured for so many years. conIn the first place--i- ts sumed outside. Or, as the dictionary puts it: "pic nic (pik nik) n. (F. piquenique) A pleasure party, the food for which is usually provided by the members of the group and is eaten in the open air. A pleasnraarty? Some- times, that tact is debatable. Food provided by the group can be tricky, also. We used to have a friend who, when a The Drums Are Quiet , For Another Season by Mary Gail Stark Everybody loves a band-yo- ung and old alike. Sunday evening, August 15, throngs of music enthusiasts crowded around the bandstand at Liberty Park to bid farewell to the summer concert season and listen to the Salt Lake City Municipal Band under Strong. The summer band concerts, which have become a tradition at Liberty Park tot the last tew generations were first initiated in 1889 by John Held. The Salt Lake Municipal Band (formerly Strongs Military Band) was organized in 1937 by Mr. Strong, director, and C. A. Thomas, manager. The 29 peice band played more than 600 concerts in parks and at die Utah State Fair. Mr. Thomas H. Maxwell is the assistant director. Sunday's concert featured tenor soloist Glenn H. Johnand Robert Sudbury son, trumpet soloist. Robert is the -- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Don C. Sudbury and is a member of the Granite School District Junior Youth addition to the weekly band concerts held on Sunday evening, a special variety program is also offered arid features talent from all parts of the city. Climaxing Sundays final concert of the year was the Salt Lake Chapter, Sweet Adeline Chorus, under the direction of Jack Evans, singing melodies from the Show Boat In Time joint feeding effort was planned, would always say, "Ill bring the butter. You invite too many people who want to bring the butter and you end up with a mighty skimpy lunch. But "eaten in the open air is the most important phrase. A picnic is the only time all the children get a chance to eat with their fingers, spill their milk, sit on the deviled eggs, and .be generally as messy as they wish and nobody really cares. (The birds and ants will carry away the crumbs. Grass positively thrives under Of applications strawberry punch.) The most important part of any picnic is, naturally, the food. I keep reading about all sorts of fancy picnic foods and menus, clipping them out and saving them, but the picnic menu still stays the same. Cold Crab salad in peeled tomatoes isnt every picnic-goe- rs choice, at least, not for I the ones under twenty. would enjoy Vitella Tonnata alone, alas so its cold fried chicken or peanut butter and Jelly for the majority who always seem to win but in the end. Fi rebuilders and people who remember to bring matches serve hamburgers and hot dogs, with plenty of marchel-low- s for dessert. can legally play in the fire, poke their brothers acci- dentally with sticks, and run with around screaming marshmeUows blazing away at the end of a long, green twig. A picnic is a dandy place to work off ones ag- gressions. Picnics they're wonder- And messy, and fun. theyre a universal favorite, as noted in the French origin of the word. Even staid Os-bSitwell loved a picnic. In his book "Picnics and he defines the term as meaning "one has a home and eats out of doors by choice. However, Ive never attended a Sitwell type of picnic, and Im sure hell never attend mine. The culture shock would be too great on both sides. Its a far cry from a pavillion beside the Thamds to an unwashed table in Liberty Park. The one picnic I wish I eould have attended was the ons down by the riverside with Rat and Mole. Aboard the boat was put a fat, wicker luncheon basket. When asked what was Inside, the Rat replied, "Theres cold chicken inside it . . . coldtonguecold hamcoldbeefpickledgherkins -- ful, ert ns, saladfrenchrollscresssand widgespottedmeatgingerbeer lemonadesoda water Now, theres a picnic! know about The applicant for the changed zoning, Mr J ohnson, wants to build a restuarant. The citizens as represented by Mr. Bishop dont want a restaurant in Salt Lake valley's last holdout against the encroachment of suburbia. The sentiment among the residents isnt unanimous though James Larkin, chairman of the district zoning committee, was irate because he hadnt been informed of the "You practically meeting. made nincompoops of the comhe exclaimed. Mr. mittee Larkin believes that progress and society can't be stopped: I think someone is agitating and enlarging the real situation . . . after all free enterprise brings jobs. Mr. Bishop is also worried about the communitys water supply. He is on the board of the Granite Water Co., and fears that commercial development on top of the water which, of course, supply happens to be right under the proposed restaurant, would contaminate the water. "1 would hate to see sewage dumped into the ground there, he said, I told him we would fight with every legal means. Nick D. Babilis, 9447 South 3200 East pointed out that it would be difficult to police a public establishment on a private road. Mr. Johnson said he wanted to build a nice home in Granite but needed additional income. "My restaurant will be very exclusive. he added. Mr. Johnson said when he gets in there, hes going to clean up the area around his property. He further pointed out that there arent a dozen homes in the entire area around his property and that out of the homes there are, none would even be able to see the lights around his place, much less hear any noise. "Im going to do a beautiful job out there, he said.
