Department of Health, Education and Welfare and by the are Department of Commerce, from the reports made for the first quarter of 1951 under the The 250 Age and Survivors Insurance program. The survey shows that the typical American urge of people to strike out on their own is still with us. Each year thousands set out to be their own Old bosses, some to pioneer with a new idea, some to butt against established firms in a conventional field and others to take businesses to over build them up.

Box Elder county has felt the benefit of this healthy desire on the part of its own people and has provided ample opportunity for looal development. Its 259 firms are equivalent to 13 businesses for every 1,000 residents. Not included are establishments. The local firms covered by the survey provide employment for 1,307 people. Those on public payrolls and others not within the scope of the social security program at the time are excluded. run-dow- n one-m'a- n Blaze Interrupts City Moves To Outlaw Unused Firemens Party Refrigerators Adoption of a nW city ordinance was accomplished at the council meeting last Thursday, of making the abandonment ice boxes and refrigerators, ac-- , cesslble to children, a nuisance and unlawful.
