Winning the Community Service Trophy is a wonderful pat on the back for efforts of the past year, and it also issues a challenge for this newspaper in the future. We will continue to try to bring to the readers a bet ter newspaper, and to foster and support any and all projects which are for the betterment of the East Juab County area which we serve. Again, may we say In all humility, "Thanks Folks". On behalf of the people of Ne phi and East Juab County whom he has served for a quarter cens extends con tury, The gratulations to Earl H. Steele upon his completion of 25 years of show business in Nephi. Earl has not only been a good show man, but he's been a darned good booster of Nephi, giving considerable of his time and talents for the good oof the community.

Notice of intention to layout and install the system is beine Dublished this week in The TimesnNews, and if property Own ers on the proposea streets iouow their intentions as manifest in a petition to the City Council a few weeks ago, the installation win be completed quickly as possible following the legal wait Under the plan as put forth in the Notice of Intention, Mercury Vapor lights of 15,000 lumen or in-of 20,000 lumen intensity will be stalled on Main Street between second north and first south streets; on Cnter street from one- half block east of main to one ana blocks west, on first block west; south for and on first north street block west and one block east of main street. From studying the layout of the streets it can readily be seen that this area is where lighting is mostly needed. First South lighting would be most beneficial to the patrons of the Theatre who park on this area; business areas extend both east and west on center street and west on first north. The east on first north would light the area which is now a potential danger area because of activity connected with the high school during the evening hours, and the limited of parking because oi the narrow roadway. According to the notice of intention, a portion of the cost will be borne by the City, while the property owners will bear the remainder. Main street proeprty, because of more lights per block, will be $1.85 per front foot for property owners, while side street property owners will pay $1.23 per front . foot. ... . . one-quart- er one-quart- er one-quart- er , j County Officials Explain Stand in Alleged Incidents Interest of the entire state has been focused upon Nephi during the past week, following presentation of a letter to Attorney General Clinton Vernon last Friday afternoon by officials of the Salt Lake-Del- ta Freight lines. The letter called upon the Attorney General to assist in securing protection for the company's trucks in the vicinity of Nephi, where it alledged that several Incidents have occurred during the past few d weeks since employees of Western Co., have been on strike. The company's trucks have hauled several loads of finished merchandise from the local plant, and in some instances, the truck offic-iil- s reported to the Attorney General, trucks have been moisted. The letter also mentioned that protction had not been received from Juab County Sheriff and Attorney, Both County Sheriff Raymond Jackson and County Attorney James P. McCune have reported that they had not been asked (prior to filing of the letter with Mr. Vernon) to give protection and no incidents had been reported to them. A Statement by these two Juab County officials Ther-moi- follows: "The letter of February 16th from Dale M. Belts, general mana Truck line, ager. Salt to Attorney General Clinton Vernon regarding the lack of protection to the firm's trucks In Juab County was very unusual Inasmuch as neither the office of the Juab County Attorney or the Juab County Sheriff had been Informed of any incidents Involving the firm's trucks by Mr. Belts or any other representative of the firm prior to the time when thein letter Salt was given to the press Lak City.

They decline to sign any complaints at that time, and, at the conclusion of the confer ence advised us that all they de sired was for the sheriff to advise the leaders of the union that the pickets had no right to interfere with the free ingress and egress of trucks and other vehicles to and from the plant. The sheriff so advised the union leaders immediately after the meeting, and during the meeting the group were told several times by us that in the event of any breach of the peace Injury to property or other violation of the criminal laws occurred that we wanted them to report it to us at once. At the meeting with officials of the trucking firm on Feb. 18th the reasons given by A. Ladru Jensen, its counsel, for writing to the attorney general without contacting us was that they were told in a meeting with Mr. Callister and Mr. Adamson that the cotuv ty attorney and the sheriff "were not interested in informing tnose people (the union members) that they couldn't do that", referringo to the alleged incidents. They at this meeting declined to sign any complaints, and we advised them that we would investigate the alleged incidents as reported by them and would then make recommenations as to what criminal complaints, if any, which we feel arc justified by the available al-m- evidence.

Utah Because of our deep and constructive interest in Nephi and its future it is grevious to read and hear of the extensive and continu ed unfavorable publicity reflected upon the community because of incidents of strike violence. We in no way feel responsible. Our plant has been open for two reasons: First, much very scarce rubber was tied up on process when strike was called and it was recessary to complete its manufacture before deterioration set in; Secondly, the plant was kept open to fill some emergency orders important in defense product-Io- n and in the interest of preserving customers and employees jobs. ollwcver, we are at the crossroads and are willing to close the plant for an extended period if it is believed our previous minor activity is the cause of friction, and providing our counsel can assure us the Labor Board would not regard our action as a lockout. We can use key Nephi personnel In both Los Angeles and Indiana. We dislike penalizing any salaried personnel who have been most loyal and cooperative. 'We feel that negotiations perhaps can be undertaken at later in a peaceful atmos phere whne not under duress of coercive pressures.
