COOPERATION DID IT 'War on Community Ugliness' Launched by Architects Chapter Residents of Pleasant Grove report one of the "safest and sanest" Halloween seasons in the history of the community. Pleasant Grove City police officers said that the youngsters seemed to be enjoying a wonderful time. They were out In numbers for the traditional "trick or treat" forays. But there was little malicious mischief or vandalism observed or reported. Best of all the frivolities on the streets were held to one night, Saturday, October 30. Happily the four school parties held the evening previous, were well attended by students and parents. These activities did not, for the most part, spill over into sporadic trick or treat excursions Friday night. Evidently the entire rewarding experience was the result of willing cooperation. The Mayor, the PTA officers and the teachers went the second mile in educating the students and the public relative to the better way. The only complaints we heard were regarding older youngsters young-sters coming from nearby communities ond homing In on the fun of the local boys ond girls. Which all goes to show that we cannot always control other people. However, we can teach- them by example the better ways of doing things. , As for us, children os well behaved as they were last Saturday Satur-day night, will always be welcome in our home. Utah Has Natural Assets, But Some Problems in Development (Editor's note: This is another anoth-er in a series of background reports on Goals for Utah. The second discussion of "Economic Development" will be aired on Thursday, Nov. 4, over KUED-TV, KUED-TV, Channel 7, at 8 p.m.) With Utah's general economic advantages, the state could become be-come a key center for manufacturing, manufac-turing, tourism and transportation transpor-tation in the 11 western states by adopting instructive, forward-looking programs. This is the conclusion of a second report by the Economic Development committee of the Utah Legislative Council's Goals For Utah." Following are some favorable factors: geographical location at the heart of the West, natural natur-al resource base, business climate, cli-mate, and especially the quality of the population and labor force. The apparel manufacturing industry, though not associated with either local raw materials or local markets, has been one of the fastest growing in the state, based on, a generous supply sup-ply of skilled or easily-trained sewing machine operators. In 1964, 43 apparel companies compan-ies were operating in the state's four largest cities and 10 smaller small-er communities, employing 2,200 people and paying $6,3 million in wages. The chemical industry is an example of the expansion of previously existing industry. Fifty companies, hiring 1160 Soldier Completes 70-Week Course Fort Belvoir, Va. (AHTNC) Pvt. Douglas M. Cook, son of Mrs. Marcella A. Barrett, 1035 East 550 South, Plasant Grove, Utah, completed a ten -week engineer supply course, Oct. 22, under the Reserve Enlistment program at the Army Engineer School, Fort Belvoir, Va. During the course Cook received rece-ived instruction in maintaining records pertaining to the receipt, rece-ipt, storage, issue, classification, classifica-tion, and salvage of engineer material. .The 18-year-old soldier received rece-ived basic training at Fort Ord, California. He is a 1965 graduate of the Pleasant Grove High School. Cut e Cookies The Cute Cookies 4H Club of Pleasant Grove was reorganized reorganiz-ed on September 7, 1965, with the following officers: President, Presi-dent, Sue Young; Vice President, Presi-dent, Kathleen Christiansen; Secretary, Becky Jorgensen; Health Chairman Naomi Fugal; Safety Chairman, Janene Chris-tensen; Chris-tensen; Music Leader, Sue Sevy.

By 1985, one-fifth of the U.S. population will be living in this area, and Utah's central location loca-tion is attracting prospective district or regional offices for companies with markets and interests throughout the west. But there is a less rosy side to the picture. One major limitation limit-ation is freight rates which place agriculture as well as industry in-dustry at a comptetative disadvantage. disad-vantage. This was an important import-ant factor in practically destroying de-stroying the canning and canning can-ning crop industry in Utah, the report shows. At the lack of West Coast air time connections and cheap industrial fuels such as natural gas may greatly handicap development de-velopment either of tourism, industrial in-dustrial agricultural development, develop-ment, or both, in Southern Utah Ut-ah counties. While western states produce 95 percent of the nation's copper cop-per mining and smelting, it does only 26 percent of the copper cop-per refining, fabricating and manufacturing, indicating an unrealized potential for industrial indust-rial expansion. . The report stresses the need for helping Utah's missile and electronic industries diversify to stabilize the uncertain and fluctuating pattern of federal defense' 'and space spending. From peak hiring of 17,000 workers, five major firms in Utah have reduced employment as much as 7500 employees. Defense spending represents a declining share of the expanding expand-ing gross national product, with conscequent possible severe adjustments ad-justments in the tax base in particular localities. Utah's first and most important import-ant challenge in maintaining these industries is, the report concludes, "the continuation of an educational system that will provide the reservoir of highly-trained highly-trained and skilled persons which can maintain the state's economy." Other policies recommended include further development of water resources, enlarging recreational re-creational resources, attracting and developing large and small industries particularly in the ''declining" counties, reduce transportation costs, and to encourage en-courage and support all re-seaarch re-seaarch and promotion to study and develop Utah's potential.

Both have appeared in the lead roles before. Miss Susuki was Linda Low in the original Broadway show, and Mr. Shigeta Shi-geta was Wang Ta in the movie version. Flower Drum Song begins Valley Music Hall's Winter Bonus Season of Shows produced produ-ced by LeRoy Prinz. Dubbed "a Chinese Life with Father when it opened at the St. Jamees Theatre in New York in 1958, the Rogers and Hammerstein hit has taken its place beside their other orient-flavored orient-flavored musical, "The King and I." : Flower Drum Song accounts the education of Wang Ta, a young man in San Francisco's Chinatown whose new western ideas draw sparks from the traditional tra-ditional eastern wisdom of family. Wang Ta wants to marry a night club entertainer, Worldly Linda Low. His father's choice is a mail-order bride from China, innocent Mei Li. Herein, Here-in, as they say in the West, lies the rub. Helping to breach the split between East and West are songs like "The Other Generation" Gener-ation" and "Love Look Away." Perhaps the best-known number num-ber in the show is Linda's opening "I Enjoy Being a Girl," performed by Pat SuZ-' uki. Miss Suzuki got her start in a national company of "Teahouse "Tea-house of the August Moon," touring with the show for six months. Later came a series . of night club engagements, resulting re-sulting in television appearances appearan-ces with Jack Paar and Ed Sullivan. It was shortly after that when lightning struck with Flower Drum Song. For Hawaiian born James Shigeta, a meteroic rise as Japan's number one popular singer preceded stage and screen appearance in America. Here he became the first oriental orient-al to play male leads in movies like "Cry For Happy," and "Bridge to the Sun."
