Show vnxversai Micro filn Corp. P. 0, Box 147 mlim $ee- - Iflfjarhs ' By H. C. B. A plan has been devised by the Chamber of Commerce to ease the traffic and parking situation on Midvale's Main St. According to the proposal, a simplified parallel parking scheme will be used, giving a wider lane for traffic in the center of the street. Wide space between poking stalls will give motorists ample room to park their vehicles easily. .Wednesday night, the city council approved the plan, and promised to have it in effect .by Harvest Days, if possible. It . will require considerable painting of spaces on Main St. and at the city parking lot. The plan will be on a six months trial basis. . The grand prize of Harvest Days, a handsome 1954 Ford sedan, is now on display at. the corner of Main and Center Sts. Purchased from Midvale Motors, the car is one of the best ever offered by the Harvest Days committee, and it will surely make some future own- er Happy. Another work night is slated at Kiwanis Bowl Monday, when members of the Kiwanis club and the Salt Lake County Shefiffs' Posse will put in some good licks in get- ting the premises ready for the big celebration. . Tomorrow (Saturday) is a legal holiday in Utah, and stores and offices wiir be closed for the day. Shoppers should remember this and purchase for a long week-enholiday. Many local residents are planning to attend Draper's gala celebration, or to witness the big parade in Salt Lake City. Otfiers will take motor trips, and many will just relax at home. The cooler weather should do much to add to the pleasure of the July 24th holid day. ' The armistice is the big news of the week. While the terms are not satisfactory to the free world, and seem like a victory for the Reds, it is better than having this bloody conflict continue. The United Nations has lost more of jts prestige in this deaL The United States had little to do with the armistice, for which we are indeed thankful, and the U.S. is not committed to enforce the .peace. Indo-Chin- a A Subscription, $2.50 per Year by Mail Volume XXI A survey of U.S. economic indicators, based on annual projections of first quarter figures compiled by government agencies, forecasts that calendar 1954 will top 1952, the best year in a number of directions. For example, the gross national production for 1954 is estimated at $357.8 billion, an increase of $9.8 billion over 1952. Estimates of personal expenditures for this year are $229.2 billion, up from $11.7 billion over two years ago, and personal services are estimated at $81.3 billion, an increase of $8.6 billion over 1952. At an estimated $283.2 billion, personal income this year will be $13.5 billion higher than in 1952. Personal savings estimated at $20 billion shows a $3.1 billion increase over 1952. New construction probably will reach $26.4 billion in 1954, these predictions indicate. If they do, they will be $3 billion higher than Exchange two years ago.
