WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY? Last week the SUNews carried an editorial concerning shopping at home. We have been pretty narrow minded, perhaps, about the advantages and the good of shopping at home. We havent changed our mind on that score. However, it was brought to our attention this week, as it has numerous times before, that the merchant also has a big responsibility in keeping local dollars at home. A businessman cannot expect to get all the local trade simply because he is established locally. The local businessman must let the consumer know that he wants his business, and in order to get it he will put forth extra effort to make his goods more attractive to the buyer. Granted, Monday morning sometimes it is difficult to greet every customer with a cheery, happy smile, but it may also be equally difficult for a customer, who received a frown and a grunt in the store, to find his way back to that business again. It is also difficult to convince the purchaser to shop at home when he can obtain the same box of cereal, 50 miles away, for 14c less. Many citizens will agree that you cannot save money by making a special trip out of town to buy, but when we are already going there, we can pay for the trip. We dont pretend to know all the ins and outs of merchandising, but, these two things we feel are true facts: That shopping out of town for goods that can be obtained in the home town saps the economic strength right out of an area; and, that if local businesses expect to keep people at home they must give courteous, efficient service, at competitive prices. It may be well for all business people to keep the following definitions in mind: ... A CUSTOMER ... is not dependent on us A CUSTOMER ... A CUSTOMER is the most important person in any business. we are dependent on him. is not an interruption of our work pose of it. he is the pur- A CUSTOMER... does us a favor when he calls we are not doing him a favor by serving him. A CUSTOMER is a part of our business not an outsider. ... ... A CUSTOMER is not a cold statistic he is a flesh and blood human being with feelings and emotions like our own. A CUSTOMER ... ... is not someone to argue or match wits with. A CUSTOMER is a person who brings us his wants it is our job to fill those wants. A CUSTOMER is deserving of the most courteous and attentive treatment we can give him. ... A CUSTOMER ... is the fellow that makes it possible to pay your salary whether you are a truck driver, plant employee, office employee, saleman or manager. A CUSTOMER ... of this and every other business. last One, parting note: The customer must know what the merchant has. We submit that the SUNews is the best way, in this area, to let this person know what you have available. And, our prices are competitive. They are equal, or lower than prices in surrounding areas, and in Salt Lake City hows that for bargain prices. is the life-bloo- d GIVE IT TO THOSE WHO KNOW HOW from Arizona Daily Sun, Flagstaff The Post Office Department, as most of us know only too well, is forced for reasons of economy to plan various unpleasant service cutbacks. Meanwhile, a presidential commsision headed by Rrederick R. Kappel, retired board chairman of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. came up with a most interesting and carefully researched plan for cutting down our postal troubles. The post office, says the commission, should be turned into a nonprofit government public corporation. This outfit would set postal rates subject to congressional veto, hire help and deal out promotions nonpolitically, and dicker with regular labor unions regarding wages, working conditions etc. We rise to inquire: Why public, and why non- profit? above-mention- ed bet- At this writing, she is recovering satisfactorily from her recent operation.

Dick stated the Richards boy was struck by a large rock thrown by an unknown person from the trail above where the scouts were walking. Park rangers are still trying to identify the person or persons responsible for the accident from brief descriptions given by eye witnesses. Dick further stated that this injury is one of a very few serious ones since the establishment of the park and was evidently caused by a person not knowing the dangers of throwing rocks cr other items down canyons or from trails such as those in Bryce Canyon. Rocks are lethal missiles in canyon country when dislodged by the foot of the traveler or thrown by hand. Caution and above all extreme courtesy should be practiced by all visitors to these areas.

Various observances involving Federal, State, and private organizations in the Colorado River region will include ceremonies at Green River, Wyo., and in the Grand Canyon, Ariz. We owe a great deal to the men who explored and charted the Western portion of this country, Sen. Moss said. And Major Powell was one of the outstanding men of this group. It is well that such a fine celebration will be held to commemorate his achievements," he said. jor Powell, geologist, ethnolo- gist and geographer, left Green River, Wyoming, with nine men in four boats, to sail south along the Green River into Utah to join the Colorado River and on down into Arizona. Senator Mess said the centennial plans will center on this pioneer journey, but they will also include all aspects of his varied and interesting career. The fact that he established the Geological Survey and the Smithsonian Institutions Bureau of Ethnology will also be featured in the celebration. In preparation for the Centennial activities, the Geological Survey will conduct a scientific expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers to document Powells voyage with photographs and scientific data. The results of this expedition are planned for publication by the Geographical Survey during the Centennial year. Other planned activites and observances to help mark the Powell Centennial include: A Centennial volume prepared by the Geological Survey dealing with Powell and his work, including chapters on his ideas about the geologic features and the Indians of the Grand Canyon region.
