" CHAMBER OF COMMERCE j! gob North, new manager of if ,'he Overnighter Cafe, hosted ct,amber of Commerce to an arly morning membership jve on Saturday. Several local businessmen participated L a discussion of increasing industry and business in this rea. Dick Clark, manager of the '. Overnighter Motel, suggested that a general price raise for 5 employees in the motel and - cafe industry might be advisable advis-able to get qualified help during the busy season of ! summer. It was pointed out that early in the heavy tourist season, and at the last of the summer travel, students, who , , normally take up the slack in these areas, are in school. Another factor was the low rite of employment in these tourist-oriented businesses ! during the winter months. Some kind of winter employment employ-ment seems to be needed fo hold the people over to another tourist season. A representative from Plan- -- ting and Zoning committee stated thai a meeting of that group is set for Monday, October 4, at which time further discussion of this problem might be continued. The Planning and Zoning committee is working closely ith the Southeastern Utah Association of Government !l Agencies, who are also inter- (sted in procuring industrial development for the area. ? Representative-elect Kenneth Ken-neth Silliman reports that in Sis several years' experience in procuring industrial plants in Utah, it has been his observation that the communi- i its with aggressive leadership seem to get the plants. He also ' spoke on the Energy Corridor proposed for power plants ilong the southern edge of the i Book Cliffs, stating that EPA studies find little or no plant emissions from the Huntington Hunting-ton Plant, equipped as it is with $5 million worth of scrubbers and emission control con-trol devices. Jim Siders commented that probably local coal could be used very effectively in coal-washing coal-washing plants, which would create a vast industry all along this coal-bearing plateau. Mr. Siders is with Boise-Cascade, which has recently set up an office in Green River. Mrs. Pearl Baker,, President of Chamber of Commerce, reported that the Chamber will move into its new office on Monday, and will endeavor to become more active in promoting promot-ing development of Green River.

The girls are sisters. Also visiting at the Wo-macks Wo-macks was their cousin, Kelly Harringfeld from Bozeman, Montana. He stopped in on his way to his new Army assignment at Fort Carson, Colorado. Mrs. Womack had-n"t had-n"t seen him since he was seven years old, and she marveled at the change in him. THANK YOU AGAIN In publicly thanking people, you always forget one. I forgot two. First, Barbara McGann said to me the one thing that all chairmen are so glad to hear, "Don't give it another thought; I will take care of it." And she did. Barbara carried the colors for the Melon Day Parade, and got together her mounted color guards to participate. Mrs. McGann has been learning to participate in endurance rides this summer. -- - - i She and Taffy Apple have made four rides, but with no w'ns as yet. They are both beginners, but expect to show a belter record next year. The other thank you that went astray was the lovely chocolate cake that the Merrie Miss Bee Class of Primary brought to me. Holly Lassen, Tina Wilcox, Carol Womack and Jayme May brought it to me Sunday afternoon, and it really tasted extra special. BAND MOTHERS Green River Association of Band Mothers met Thursday, Sept. 30. Mr. Salter, the new music teacher, was introduced. introduc-ed. Mr. Salter outlined roughly rough-ly some of his objectives for the Green River Music Department. Depart-ment. He'd like to coordinate the Band, Chorus and Art departments into a single Fine Arts Department in order to take advantage of the many educational opportunities available throughout the Western region. In order to do this, it has been suggested Band Mothers be expanded to a Fine Arts Booster group. This would facilitate a larger fund-raising group to assist these departments in taking advantage of the educational opportunities mentioned. A meeting has been planned for the middle of October, to be announced next week, with definite goals to be outlined. Mrs. Womack, President of Band Mothers, is in hopes that this planned meeting will be enthusiastically attended. It was voted by those members present for all Band members to retain the uniform issued at the beginning of the year, with a full dress inspection quarterly. This will include gloves and spats. Plumes will be issued at Parade time only. Each student will be responsible respon-sible for'his':own uniform. It may be well to remind students and parents, Mrs. Womack stressed, that these uniforms were hard to come by and are to be cared for and dry cleaned only. Any remaining discussion and the selection of officers for the coming year was tabled for the next meeting.
