ALL UMJDS Oil DECK! CALL 768-2225 For Information and Reservations Letters to the Editor Dear Sir: I read with Interest your recent news report about the presentation presen-tation of the film, "Anarchy, U.S.A.", in American Fork on June Hth. I noted that the article dwelt at length on the religious and civic backgrounds of the film's editor and of the person presenting the film. Nothing was mentioned about who financed, produced, or sponsored the film. This film has been shown recently re-cently in Chicago with resulting discussion revealing that it was produced by the John Birch Society. I do not object to the showing of Birch Society propaganda, propa-ganda, but in the future I think that it should be so labelled rather than clandestinely smearing the Civil Rights movements through purported "objective" presentations. presenta-tions. I find it especially objectionable ob-jectionable that political propaganda propa-ganda should be announced under cover of the religious orthodoxy of those presenting it. As a subscriber, may I request that in the future such reports be more clearly identified? Sincerely, K. Milliner Political Science Dept. Northern Illinois University DeKalb, Illinois 60115 LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Citizens of American Fork, and all readers of the Citizen: Cit-izen: It is known that for the past two years a certain carpet firm from Salt Lake has been grossly gross-ly misrepresenting, misleading and defrauding people in Utah County. Within the past two years this firm has "taken" residents in American Fork for possibly several thousand dollars. Within the past few weeks, within the same neighborhood, residents in American Fork have beenswlnd- Slated For Show he has been doing this type of work for the past ten years. He is often engaged at private parties where he does caricatures carica-tures of those present. Keith O' Brians of Salt Lake engages him exclusively for portrait work. Mr. Stout and his wife live in Sail Lake City, and they are the parents of seven children. Mrs. Brown Is also outstanding for her portrait work having completed some five thousand portraits in recent years. She has exhibited her work in Utah State fair for the past 5 years. Within the last three years she has exhibited In the Wasatch County Fair and the Summet County Fair. The Cottonwood Mall in Salt Lake City engaged her to do portrait work at their spring show. She has appeared at various Grand Central stores and at the C Est' Bon In Park City. Mrs. Brown will be present at our Steel Day show Friday, July 14 and Saturday July 15. Mr. Stout will be here Saturday July 15 only. The city Art Board feels very f ortuna te to have such outstanding artists to help make our show a success.

C. Citizens in Lehi, Pleasant Grove, and Orem (that we know of) have had as many as five telephone calls from this identi cal firm in the last few months.

Their salesman, who insists he is an "advertising man," and not a salesman, usually comes to your home after store hours when you can't call for compara tive prices or the Better Business Bureau or anyone, is hard to get rid of even after you've said no and dismissed him, and continues con-tinues to plague you by phone later. la-ter. E. On every case, so far, that we are aware of, the salesman says he has never been in Ameri can Fork before, even when he has swindled people a few blocks up and down the street. The salesman says this is a commercial type carpet, used only in motels and hotels, etc., but only their company has been given permission to put it in homes. That this type carpet cannot be purchased through any other company. F. They will use three known gimmicks as Inducements to sell: ,1. That they will lay the best carpet on the market in your "torture-test" home at their pur chase price plus ten percent In exchange for a "housewife's TV commercial," for which they will return in 30 days with their movie camera. They will measure your home and give you a very high price In the four digits and then lay, but we will lay It down for you for our cost plus ten percent (which is still a high price), J' happiness J " a rat a j i i" aar s & dm work better!
