Show 1 OKEM-GENEVA TIMES T0 YOU WANT TO organize a club, or get people to work for some cause? Half the battle is in making them feel important Here's an example: H. Everett Pope was head man of ;D. Cunerte that. Then he took a list of selected names and sent them a letter telling them that there was to be a meeting, at noon, in the dining room of the chamber of commerce. com-merce. He knew that the men would come piling in. Then he would tell them the purposes of the organization, they ; would elect ofcers and they would have a fine group . . . all pipe puffers. U sounded dandy. At noon that day he went to the dining-room, thought he would get there a little early to receive the other men. Well, he got there plenty early. No one was there. Finally Fin-ally man came In and apologetically slunk into a corner, smoking a cigarette. After a time another lone trapper showed up and settled down behind his beard. The three had lunch and then faded away like mist before the morning sun. The club seemed doomed to failure. But Everett still believed in the idea; he loved his pipe as a sailor loves shore leave. He thought he'd try it again. This time he sent out a letter which said, 1 am pleased to inform you that you've been elected president 1 .V of the Pipe Smokers' Club of America." Then told where the meeting was to be . . . in the same place. ' It happened just as you think. That dining-room had as many men in it as a farmer's smokehouse has hams ... all . hanging in suspense of what was going to happen. f . lie explained the purpose of the meeting and told them of the uniqueness of the idea ... a club where every man was to be president In other words, they would pass around the job presiding, and running the meetings. The men liked the idea; the club began to succeed. In fact it has done so well that he is now getting up branches in different cities in the United States. The secret of his success is that he made the men feel important; gave them something to do, let them share in the ; spotlight Bees Gather Hcney As Sideline Only Use of the bee as a pollinating pollinat-ing agent in agriculture is more irjportant than its use as a honey O.

Utah's Valuation At Record Level The state of Utah is worth $58,500,000 more this year as its assessed value peak of $823,900-000 $823,900-000 7.8 percent greater than ever before in its history. Mayor factors in boosting the assessment to its new high were the state tax commission's re valuation studies in several counties and high 1948 product ion of Utah's metal mines. Another stimulant to the ass essment total was an increase in the amount of personal property due to built-up inventories and automobile purchases. While assessed value is only oe factor in tax rates, an increase in-crease in over-all value generally general-ly is good news for the average taxpayer. If government spending were to remain at the 1948 level, the average taxpayer could expect a 7 6 percent reduction in property prop-erty taxes this year.
