As it is apparent to me that the people of this community have only been given one side of a very important issue 1 desire to bring these facts to the attention of all concerned. Ground Broken Four Roy Schools Set Bicycle Safety For New Bowling Center Ground was broken this week and construction started on a new $450,000 bowling alley for the Roy area. until For the past several years the City of Roy has had a Green River Ordinance which in effect makes it unlawful for ANY salesman, solicitor or peddler to call at the door of a homeowner or occupant for the purpose of soliciting orders for JoLee Lanes, as it will be the sale of goods or selling the same on the spot. called, will have 16 lanes and will feature the latest in bowlThis bars none and puts ALL salespeople in one category: ing equipment including an unmen, women, yes even boys and girls are ALL declared to be a ball return which derground nuisance under this ordinance.

We have spent our lives here. I am as It is not only unfair but untrue if anyone may have left the impression that by proposing a repeal of the Green River ordinance that I want to have the town opened up to any and all types of door to door salesmen, regardless of their integrity, or lack of it, or of a questionable firrp they mayTepresent ' Rather I would like to see an ordinance adopted which would be more equitable and wpuld give the city better control. And would offer much more protection to the residents. I would like to see a sign displayed at each entrance to Roy which would read All salesmen .peddler or solictors required to be licenced with Roy City before doing any business. Violators will be prosecuted. They would be required to register with city and pay a registration fee, furnish name and home address, th ename and home address of person, firm or corporation he or she represents, supply a photograph and submit to the police department for fingerprinting and sign a fingerprint card. If a check through tire Better Business Bureau or other available reputable source proved the applicant beyond doubt to have a BAD REPUTATION he would not be given a license. Under Green River it is not possible to refuse a license. It would be the duty of every home owner or resident to ask anyone calling at their door to supply evidence to the effect that they were registered and licensed with the city. The homeowners or residents, also of course, would have the right, as all Americans have, if they do not feel inclined to give the caller of their time, to tell them so frankly and honestly. If any problems arose here and any complaints were given to the city the matter would be given the prompt attention of the police department. If there are those who do not want to answer the knock at the door, they are entitled to that right and should take the responsibility of posting a sign on their porch to that effect. But please do not speak for me. There is nothing like having and understand both sides of an issue before making decisions one way or the other. .Dale Bingham Classified Ad FOR SALE 1955 Chev.

In the meatime, however, he has drawn up an ordinance amending the present M-- l ordinance which at the present time would allow most any type of business permitted in a C--2 zone. He also presented the council members with literature explaining the importance of an exclusive industrial section to the community. THIS IS being done in connection with National Bike Month which has been proclaimed May 214 by Mayor O. Dean Parker. This program is intended to help youngsters become better informed on safety. A safety pamphlet will be given to each student by the Aprender Guild. Plans for the two weeks are in two parts. First, a practice driving course will be set up on a blacktop area at each school. For two weeks children may practice. On the 14th of May inspection and driving tests will be given on the tennis court in back of the Municipal building and at the North Park School This part of the program will be under the direction of the city police department. Each youngsters whose bike passes inspection , will be given a sco tc blight sticker for the fender of his bike. Participant will be expected to obey signs, know how to signal and observe rules as outlined in the pamphlet. MEMBERS of the committee are as follows: Mrs. Lynn Municipal; Pastor H. L. Swanson, Lakeview; Floyd Such-e- r, Roy; E. R. Durbana, Roy; Mis Joyce AtkinsniM-NoT-th Park, and Police Chief Julian Green and Myron Turner. Before the ordinance will be ready for the consideration of the city council, it must first be gone over by the city attorney, Mr. Tucker said. He expects to go into the question of the ordinance and the rezoning of the property at the council meeting to be held next week. Three new subdivisions were the coun cil. Raymond Terry requested an easement and maintenance of the watr and sewer line on his property at 2700 W, n which was approved. Milas and Fred Sphar who are developing the KenMar subdivision on the newly annexed property west of HalVem were at the meeting concerning the extension of water mains to the project.

The gravel in the hill will be used on the road tying the two subdivisions together. Removing the hill will permit the use of three or four lots instead of two or three Mr. Tanner said. n The hill will yield from 50 to 100 yards of gravel Mr. Tanner stated. Approval was granted and work will commence May 1. Clark Puffer, city recreational director was present to ask the city for help in installing soft ball backstops in the Roy parks and to purchase 12 baseball bats and 10 dozen baseballs, for each team. Roy City now has teams in the A, B, and C leagues, which includes teams from the different wards and the schools, Mr. Puffer said, making 65 in all. A big problem is where and how to give each team a place to practice and play. He stated that the Jaycees will furnish the poles and put the wire up on the backstop if the city would furnish the wire. It was suggested to Mr. Puffer that he contact the board of education for permission to use the recretaional facilities of the schools. He was also asked to submit a list of items needed and the cost to the council for further consideration. George Maw ask;d for a building permit to construct a house on the comer lot across from the Baptist Church. He was referred to the board of adjustments for a decision. 1960 philosophies wanted to conDear Mr. Cottle: For three years I have Until today, I have tribute to your column in The to most be would interesting that felt I did not have a philosophy 25-2- e.
