Students are paid $1.75 an hour and receive commissions on all sales. The Pedlar is the retail store in only student-ru- n Utah. THOUGH THE grant was awarded when school started in September 1975, the Pedlar first opened for business on Nov. 20, 1975. Mr. King happened onto the location at 55 North Main in Kaysville. It looked small, but we thought wed start small and build, he said. We havent made a profit yet, but any profit would go bade into the store. Mr. King hopes the Pedlar will be by the end of the year. MOST OF the stock in the Pedlar is sold on consignment. Tee shirts made by Davis students, bicentennial and macrame products were big when the store first opened. So were school aprons and handmade purses. "Necklaces have always been good, said Allison. Wooden toys made by the students at the Monte Vista School in Farmington are popular. Most of the toys were sold by children who came into the store and persuaded adults to buy, Mr. King said.

COMMISSIONER Flint says he has been instrumental in bringing industry into the county and cited the Freeport Center in the Clearfield area as example. He says he is partially responsible for bringing in Kenway Engineering in Bountiful and the Smith Food King warehouse in Layton. MR. REAY says he supports light industrial expansion, but thinks it would be more realistic to get the repair contract for the F4C aircraft returned to Hill Air Force Base. The return of this contract to the base would provide jobs for 400 to 500 people, he says. MR. REAY says his central objective is to get government out. He supports a of taxes and believes the county government shouldnt bond to support programs.

Moss comes from the Bountiful area. MR. STRAND says the Gentlemens Agreement was okay 60 years ago when commissioners had to travel by horse to meet in a central location. But, he feels there is no justification for such an agreement today. MR. STRAND says the county government should get together with the federal government to plan the placement of gravel pits. He said gravel pits are a natural resource in the county and must be controlled. Commissioner Flint said, We should allow gravel pits only in certain areas and with a plan and bond for rehabilitating the areas.
