Show The Chinese Role In Railroad Goes Unnoted Garbage Yang said. Yet, with such evident discrimination, why were the Chinese allowed to work at all for the Central Pacific, Yang asked rhetorically? "The Chinese were allowed to work because no man who had any choice would have chosen to be a laborer on the Central Pacific," the history professor said. Yang noted that after 1882 a number of U. S. statutes were passed to keep the Chinese from becoming Americans. One, effectively kept wives of Chinese male laborers from entering the country. Another prevented Chinese from becoming naturalized citizens. Garland's city council is considering contracting w ith a commercial firm to provide garbage collection services in the community, according to Mayor Eldon Griffin. Utah Recycling & Disposal Co. now operated by LaMont K. Doman of Tremonton, has approached the Garthe land council about providing service. Doman, who recently purchased the business from his brother in Ogden, also contracts with Tremonton for their garbage collection. Mayor Griffin said four councilmen,, who were present and heard Doman's. presentation, seemed favorable but that the council wants to look over a 7 two The mayor said he had concerns. One, a Garland man has been picking up garbage on a commercial basis and the mayor doesn't want the city to get in a position of forcing him out of business. But that concern may have been taken care of. Griffin said he understands the disposal firm has offered to buy the individual out. A second concern is that "some people just plain don't want their garbage picked up," the mayor said. But Griffin said things "look very favorable" for an arrangement to be worked out. Doman would reportedly offer service for $2 a month per home-t- he same fee charged in Tremonton. The city will bill home owners, as in Tremonton. and pay Doman a contracted amount. On another subject, Mayor Griffin noted that Garland will be hiring four or five new city employees for a six month period with federal funds , res-denti- r m. air BKHBMMBHBSBBBBPHft . board and headed the athletics committee.

In 1937 he voyaged to Great Britain, where he excelled as a missionary, serving under President Hugh B. Brown. He led the mission in selling subscriptions to the "Millenial Star", one of their proselyting endeavors, and later became associate editor of that publication. He was supervising elder of the mission office and also captain of an excellent missionary basketball team which succeeded in winning the British National Championship. Elder Ashton has always stressed physical fitness, keeping in top shape himself by running, playing racket-bal- l, tennis, etc. He and his wife, Norma Berntson, whom he married in 1940, won the tennis mixed doubles.

Aired Is - saying, "a Chinaman's ' chance, -meaning no chance at all" originated, 12. 1977. Pickup History Professor Says Several thousand Chinese workers, many of whom lost their lives, -helped construct the trail of steel rails which linked East and West when the two met on May 10, 1869 at Promontory Summit. Tuesday, one hundred and eight years after that historic occasion, a Chinese history professor reminded Americans that those same Chinese workers and their posterity have been given little recognition for their part in history. D. Anand A. Yang, assistant professor of history at the University of Utah, painted a rather uncomfortable picture for people who have been interested in promoting the annual Golden Spike celebration. "At the first Golden Spike ceremony at Promontory there were few, if any, Chinese," Yang told a crowd of school children, teachers, tourists and Spike promoters. "Nochinese show up in the classic photo of the event," he added. One hundred years later, at the 1969 centennial celebration of the driving of the golden spike "glowing tribute was paid to the American people, but no reference was made to the Chinese people," he said, pointedly. Yang said the purpose of his talk was to draw attention to the role of several thousand Chinese in the building of the Central Pacific portion of the transcontinental railroad. Estimates are that 8,000 to 15,000 Chinese were engaged in the construction effort. Said Yang, "It was the Chinese who provided the sweat and blood to bring the Central Pacific from Sacramento to Promontory." "These Chinese braved all of nature's hazards to make history," he added. It was those same Chinese who set a track laying record on April 28, 1969 when they laid ten miles and feet of track in one day. fifty-si- x Along the way to Promontory the Chinese suffered persecution and privation. It was from that era that the Garland Times. May Leader-Th- e e - I - -- 1 -- ' WWIR I FOR CASH AND. PAY T "AT ft. - iscount r'BUY USE YOU R CHARGE OR 31 IESS' . bai: mm |
