Show Saturday, January 4, 1997 A-7 The Park Record From Time to Time p P fa E; . i ir Some editorial comments to start the year Compiled by Kat James OF THE RECORD STAFF 100 Years Ago Happy New Year from The Park Record The fact that Park City is the best and most prosperous mining camp in the west, is now a settled conviction, and its iteration and reiteration gives pleasure to the average Parkite, even while cognizant cog-nizant of the further fact that times are really hard even in Park City. The Salt Lake Tribune's New Year's edition is, if possible, more comprehensive and better than ever before. It contains 32 pages of thoroughly interesting matter, descriptive of the progress made in Utah and adjoining states during the past year, and while largely statistical, sta-tistical, is compiled in such a bright and catchy style as to entirely obliterate oblit-erate the usual dryness attaching to that class of news. Every industry is given liberal space, while the mining min-ing interests receive special attention, atten-tion, the improvements and products prod-ucts of the past year, together with the prospects for the future of each camp being fully set forth. The issue is really a marvel of information, and every man interested in Utah should make it a point to send at lease one copy of the paper to some eastern friend. The Record congratulates congrat-ulates the Tribune and sincerely hopes it will receive the liberal patronage that its enterprise so full warrants. One thing the many banks, trust companies and big firms that have failed lately may be thankful for, is that they were not driven to the wall by a panic occasioned through the adoption of the dishonest 50-cent 50-cent silver dollar. McKinley confidence confi-dence comes high, of course, but the people had to have it, and while it is a little hard on the masses, it is a fat thing for the sharks who have got their money in United States bonds and other property beyond the reach of failing banks and the tax collector. The Utahnian announces in its last issue that in future it will be issued once each month as a high-class high-class magazine.

His language, while prolific, is decidedly decided-ly caustic, and the people of Utah are fearful that he might be induced to take the opposite view regarding the resources of this state, as his own language shows he has done in reference to Dakota. 50 Years Ago Crime prevention National Crime Prevention Week is observed Jan. 13-19. There is no hamlet or metropolis free from crime, whether it be front page news or petty thievery that never gets into print. The growth of delinquency among the young has caused campaigns to reduce the total. Blame has been placed upon homes, movies, war. Automobiles have also been named as a leading factor in promoting crime. One point of discussion by agents representing repre-senting law and order, is laid to the difficulty of reading license plates. Why so many crimes can't be traced because criminals flee from the scene in autos with bystanders not able to give details about license plates, is reason for us to regard the subject. License plates are complicated to read, the colors and numerals are not always outstanding out-standing or distinctive. It has been suggested we have a standardized license plate in the U.S. distinctive at 50 feet. If this would help to bring more criminals to justice, then we are for it. George Washington Carver The recent trial of a Mississippi senator who was charged with preventing pre-venting negroes from voting in an election, of advocating a violent policy of "white supremacy," makes Jan 5 an even more important date. This day has been established by Congress as George Washington Carver Day. When it was brought to a vote, there was not a voice raised against it, not even from the southern delegates. George Washington Carver was a negro, born a slave in Missouri during the Civil War. When he died in 194J, he left an indelible mark on thfe pages of American history.

The supply seemingly had dwindled till the water level was dangerously low. Inquiry brought the probable explanation that the large influx of visitors to the community with the resulting continuous use of large quantities of water for baths, showers, show-ers, shampoos and drinking water plus the idea of letting the faucets drip during the cold weather to prevent pre-vent freezing of the pipes was the cause. A lot of newcomers did more than let faucets drip, they let them run full tilt. A combination of the end of the big two-week period and conservation conserva-tion by all has brought the water level up to a safer point. Early fireworks caused by short Pyrotechnics in the sky about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning, Dec. 29, brought a call to the fire department depart-ment in Park City. Flashing lights over the mountains south and west of town were visible all the way over to Heber. After much searching it was determined that someone had shot out an insulator and it had dropped down into the snow thus preventing grounding and causing the flashes. Clair Boyle of the Utah Power and Light said he certainly was grateful for the immediate response of the fire department and added, "And I do want to thank all the other people who helped spot the ftORDICA ' II IUA Mint & g Meift Sid Apparel JO Bibs SSh r-,) m .1 VW 180 I js40 Ladies Sid Appard and colors vary by location jntejmjnarjtdow trouble and get things back to normal" nor-mal" 10 Years Ago Dudler Building soon to be a 'cookie college' by Teri On-Randy On-Randy Fields admits the project is not cost effective. But he feels the time has come to create a training center for the hundreds of employees employ-ees worldwide who work for Mrs. Fields Cookies. So this spring, the Dudler Building, once the home of the Cowboy Bar, will be turned into the cookie college. "In 1987 we plan to just work on the top two floors to create a dorm which will sleep 20 people, and classroom and conference space. Next year we will complete our certification cer-tification kitchen where managers can come to learn baking techniques. tech-niques. We may eventually turn the downstairs into a demonstration chocolate factory as well." Fields said the company had looked at other locations, but felt being on Main Street close to the company headquarters (Mrs. Fields international headquarters are on the basement level of the Main Street Mall) was an important criteria crite-ria for a training center. "The little red house will be completed this year and that will serve in part as a training and conference con-ference facility. But with as many as 500 people a year eventually coming com-ing to Park City to get some hands-on hands-on experience in the company we felt it was important to have sleeping sleep-ing facilities and training kitchens. Fields said he also purchased the land next to the Dudler Building and he plans to expand the training center to eventually sleep up to 60 people and to have increased meeting space. Currently the Dudler Building represents some 11,000 square feet of usable space. Fields says long-range they will build to expand to 30,000 square feet. "We want to continue to demonstrate to people that Park City is a good place to do business. And as our company grows we feel it is important for employees to actually come here, see the company compa-ny headquarters and understand there really is a Mrs. Fields." r ia-fi ' vi n if ujsj - 766 - 4453 - 487 - 7726 has Ray Truccy jewelry ami lots of it!
