Show Saturday. June 22. 1996 The Park Record A-11 From Time to Time Excerpts from The Park Record archives Improved Compiled by KAT JAMES 100 Years Ago Shorter shifts The eight-hour law is now in full force and effect throughout the state, and with but few exceptions excep-tions the change was inaugurated without serious trouble. In Park City there was not even a ripple to disturb the usual placid surface of events, the men at all the mines being placed on eight-hour shifts with the same pay as hitherto commanded com-manded for nine- and 10-hour service. ser-vice. Other points were not so fortunate, for-tunate, however, and mutterings of discontent are heard ft-qrn several sources. At Eureka several of the big properties put a 25 cents per hour schedule in effect, thus reducing reduc-ing the pay of the men, while Mr. Packard of the same place, it is rumored, will close down his entire mill, though only temporarily, until a scale is agreed upon. The only strike so far declared occurred at the Horn Silver mine in Frisco, where the men decided that they would not work unless they got the old scale of $2.75 for eight hours. Manager Farnsworth refused to pay it and the men went out. Of course the smelter men reduced wages with the cut in hours, and trouble may follow. The history of smelting in Utah is on a par with iron mining in Michigan, and it was a foregone conclusion that if a cut in wages was made anywhere in the state it would be at the smelters, the very place of all where men should get good pay. The smelters very nearly own the earth and its employees are its slaves, and we believe the smelter officials grieve over the grease that is lost in the sweat that drops from the brow of their hard driven workmen. It is a shame that the vast wealth many niggardly and exacting employers are piling up, must be left behind when death comes and the grave opens. By this time miners, mill and smelter employees can put their fingers on every off-color manager in the state, and while some of the men and their families will suffer, it gives considerable satisfaction to know who these men are. 4 GO 69 DINE WITH NATURE Come and enjoy great Japanese food inside or out, It's summerl We serve sushi, steaks, tempura and chicken.

"w-i .Vi conditions 50 Years Ago Calling all restaurants The food served along Utah's highways is slowly improving both as to quality and service, but the really first class places can still easily eas-ily be counted without resorting to an adding machine. More sympathy sympa-thy and tolerance could be extended extend-ed the mediocre and downright inferior place if it were not true that in the very next town, under similar conditions, someone else is doing an outstanding job. It is felt, however, that if restaurant and lunch operators could be made to understand the vital part they are playing in our postwar economy, they would rise to the occasion and do something about the situation. For 1946 the greatest immediate immedi-ate source of new income and employment within the state rests with the tourist business. It is entirely possible for Utahns to get $100,000,000 of this profitable business during this year, if we can sense the tremendous importance of some of the facts that are important to the traveling public. Roughly, the five main factors are: good food, good lodging, good roads, something unusual to see, and something interesting to do. It is quite possible that their importance impor-tance to a highly successful tourist trade is in the order named. It may be timely to remind those already in the business of serving food that Utah is being looked over by successful chain operators from other areas. If these scouts find prosperous communities, com-munities, where eating conditions are sub-normal, it is not going to take them very long to make up their minds to come in and take over. Nor is the quality of the food the only matter that calls for improvement. Grudging service is terribly irksome to the traveler. The time has come when it should be unnecessary to have to beg for a glass of water, or a little cream for the coffee. Of course it is easy to blame all this on the independent indepen-dent attitude of employees. The truth is, however, that the attitude of an employee will always be a reflection of the attitude of management. man-agement.

Arizona stealing Utah thunder The Utah Department of Publicity and Industrial Development has received tourist folder from Richard P. Harding, a Salt Lake real estate man, on business busi-ness in Arizona. The folder is interesting because it immediately gives a tourist the impression that the Rainbow Bridge National Monument is located in Arizona along with Navajo Mountain and other attractions, all of which are found in Utah, not Arizona. Utah is unfortunate in not having improved roads into this vicinity from the Utah side. The roads to Bluff are safe enough, but from Bluff to Mexican Hat, the Cottonwood Wash always carries somewhat of a threat to motorists. The improvement of this situation, however, has been promised by the State Road Commission. 25 Years Ago Public library sets "fish" theme for summer reading program Fishing to win no limit on books. That's the theme of the 1971 summer reading program now in progress at the Park City Public Library. Children of elementary ele-mentary school age are encouraged encour-aged to stop in at the library and ask Mrs. Delia Clegg, the librarian, what they can win by taking part in this project. Each child will be given a license to fish on which they put their name, grade next fall, their age and where they live. They also receive a bait book which is a folder fold-er where they keep track of the books read. After completion of reading of a book or several books, they informally tell Mrs. Clegg what the books were about and then she makes the awards. For reading one picture book she gives a sunfish, three picture books win a perch. If a child reads one "thick" book, which is a book of 100 pages or more, or completes six picture books the reward is a trout; five Sk vV TENT ai600B8w300, Jtjw MC 58 '"t' 0jrtmt$ 1 2 MANTLE LANTERN 7 jfi, i: (T jslS ' vmmi gftmtf i(gSH PX2000 : JSsm DlTj 16.4 02 iL S) V (i I PROPANE ' V?

It's FUN to read! 10 Years Ago Pizza Hut roof OK'd The Park City Planning Commission voted, 4-3 last week that a Pizza Hut in Prospector Square can have its characteristic red roof as long as the color isn't shiny. The commission overruled a staff recommendation that the roof be unpainted cedar shingles. The vote also approved the standard Pizza Hut trapezoidal windows for the building, where the staff had recommended rectangular shapes. The commission ruled the red color had to be done with a non-glossy non-glossy paint. The commission earlier earli-er approved the Hut, at 1750 Sidewinder Dr., in March of this year, accepting staff recommendations recommenda-tions on the roof and windows. Later the Pizza Hut company, represented rep-resented by local realtor Richard Dudley, asked the commission to reconsider those two items. The planning body voted down the request at a quick May 28 meeting where Dudley was absent. Dudley asked to be on last week's agenda, pleading he had arrived late May 28 because he didn't expect the meeting to be so short. On June 11, Dudley argued the Pizza Hut was giving concessions already to the city by building the sides of their building in earth tones, removing their lettering from the roof and doing extensive landscaping. The Hut proposal received negative neg-ative votes from commissioners Ruth Gezelius, Steve Deckert and Ron Whaley. Aye votes came from commissioners Cal Cowher, Ray Robinson, Paul Bickmore and, breaking the tie, Chairman Brad Olch. Ouantltlei limited to stock on hand.
