Show Sugar House Chamber Honors Old Timers Oldtimers of Sugar House were honored at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday. Wed-nesday. The occasion was part of the quiet celebration of the 104th anniversary of the naming nam-ing of Sugar House. To qualify as an oldtimer, a person must have been in business busi-ness in Sugar House for 25 years or more. Ray D. Free introduced each oldtimer present, relating stories stor-ies about their early experiences experi-ences in the community. "I believe Sugar House is unusual,"" un-usual,"" he said, "in the per capita number of men still actively ac-tively managing their businesses busi-nesses and leading in community commun-ity affairs even though these men are in their 70's or 80's". Mr. Free mentioned such men as his father, Roy Free, A. R. Curtis, Willard B. Richards, Jr., George T. Dixon, Earl J. Glade and others. He noted that there are also a number of eldtimers who have recently retired after lifetimes of service to the area around the plaza. "The outstanding thing about these men," said Mr. Free, "is the fact that they are still thinking' in terms of the future, fu-ture, and helping Sugar House grow." A surprise musical number was given by M. J. Weight, Chamber president, who appeared ap-peared in western costume and sang western songs. Sugar House oldtimers include in-clude A. R.
