A GOOD EXAMPLE of sidestepping the law was seen on the night of July 4th, openly avowed to be an occasion for sidestepping, so announced over the loud speaker to 10,000 or more people.

We think It was the Jayceee who thought up the scheme, and perhaps their example will save thousands of dollars for motorists pockets, and give a real welcome to shoppers. If the Jaycees would hang out parking tags all along the street for out of town shoppers to use, providing free parhlng to customers of Provo stores who cooperate in maintaining thia psrhlng lot.
