Spanish Fork, Utah, Tuesday January 15, 1952, President P. P. Thomas analyzed the present business situation and gave what might be considered as a forecast of economic conditions to be expected in the foreseeable future. Executive Vice President, Max Thomas viewed the banks accomplishments including the building! of a new bank building at Roosevelt, the remodeling and enlarging of the Spanish Fork office, and the reconditioning of the Nephi and Payson offices. He also compared and ex plained the earnings for the year 1951 as compared with the year SUPPORT OF HIGHWAY 40 DESIRED OF UTAH Tuesday at noon four enthusiastic Vernal businessmen, who are actively supporting the newly reorganized Highway 40 Association, met with about 25 Roosevelt motel, hotel, and cafe operators, plus retail business and professional men to stimulate support of Highway 40. Heard on the program were Mayor Henry B. Millecam, Wiley Baucum and B. Frank Ward,' who talked on the benefits derived from the tourist business, which today is the third largest industry in the nation. Vernal has set a fine example of tangible support by collecting $24000 as that citys contribution to the Highway 40 promotion fund. Thats all Utah has come in with, as compared with nearly $12,000 from Colorado towns on 40. Mayor Homer P. Edwards is Roosevelts representative on the board, and from Duchesne comes a vice president, Chester Lyman. It is the responsibility of these two gentlea finance drive in their respective cities men to spear-heaA committee was named at the Tuesday meeting to assist Mr. Edwards the personnel of which will be the Motel, Hotel and Cafe operators. . . They will meet in the near future and determine the share each establishment should invest in the tourist industry along Highway 40 Its positive that Duchesne City, along with Roosevelt. Heber and other towns situated along the highway will share proportionately in the tourist business, and it is up to the and support people in Duchesne to get on the the project. Something Im sure the people will see the value of. Mayor Millecam came through with a thought or two that substantiates comments I have made thru this column at intervals since taking over the editorship of the two Duchesne County newspapers . . . Keep your city clean and free from debris and litter if you want a tourist to stop in your city, Mayor Millecam said. A motel operator he told a story of how some tourists stopped at his place last summer. When they registered for their room that night they said they had definitely decided to stay at Roosevelt that night, but when they took a brief stroll along Main Street they discovered the city had forgotten to clean up thus a negative reaction or opinion was for a few days formed, and Roosevelt lost several tourist dollars. . . There is no way of knowing how many other people might have spent the night in Roosevelt, but changed their mind because of the same reason. Roosevelt positively must do something about this situation that has existed in the past. . . The city has an ordinance that sets forth the obligation the individual merchant or property owner has in this problem it just needs to be enforced. . . Thus, its the merchant who gains from the tourist dollar, so why not accept the challenge and vow to keep things cleaned up in front or along side of each individual place of business, and then bring pressue to bear to see that it is removed daily. When the time comes to support the Highway 40 should not be considered a donation, but. an investment in your share of the tourist business that will come this was as soon as travel is permissable. ... $3.00 PER YEAR Alternant Gtudent Council Plans Activities Commcreisl Dcnh CLIFF MEMMOTT.
