Show ;Jage 4 Thursday,' April IS, 196$ THE VALLEY VIEW NEWS (earns Area Devel open? Survey Cotralefe enf to State Jaycees The Kearns Community Development Survey has been completed, and a comprehensive report has been compiled and sent to the Utah State Jaycees by the project chair-roaCarl Nelson. The survey was designed to determine what Kearns residents thought of their town, and what improvements and changes could be made to better the community. The 24 question survey was completed by members of the Kearris Jaycees, assisted by the Kearns OLadies Civic Club, and was turned in to Mr. Nelson on April 1. In answer to the question, What benefits are expected to result from this project?, which was outlined in the project chairmans report, it was explained that the Jaycees hope to awaken people to the fact that they are a part of this and must all help to make it a better place to live, The town was divided into, sevi eral areas for the survey, and when all areas were completed and the results combined, the report, gave n, com-muni- y, representative picture of the entire Kearns area. The study of each area separately added a great deal cf interest to the findings. The people in one area, for example, had 'a noticably different problems than dhose in another. Of the first ten questions on the Survey, those which the majority rated as adequate were the water supply, garbage collection, telephone sendee, fire protection, postal service, medical services, library, street systems and traffic regulations. People seemed to feel that law enforcement and police protection, and maintenance and cleaning of streets were inadequate. The next seven questions dealt with recreational opportunities, swimming facilities, playgrounds, parks and picnic areas, and so on, which generally were considered inadequate. Most people were unaware that any community planning and development was going on in the town, but felt that the general appearance and attractiveness of the community could stand improvement. The last four questions were essay type, giving people a chance to express themselves about their particular likes and dislikes of the town. People disliked makeshift addition to homes, broken down cars in yards and on the streets, inconsideration in leaving trash around, and the lack of recreational facilities and adequate law enforcement 'Residents rated Kearns as a good place to live because it is clean, and because the people are very friendly. ' Other favorable factors were the convenience of the loca- tion, and the nice shopping centers. Here an area problem was noted, in that those on the west side of Kearns found shopping inconvenient, because all o: the shopping centers are located on the east side. The final results of the report were based on the 1960 census of 17,172 people. A map for the Jaycees by the original surveyor who presently lives Hills. was provided Miller Sams, for Hoffman, in Western The Jaycees plan to. direct their first efforts toward the cleaning up of Kearns. They are cooperating iij the present clean-u- p campaign which is being backed by the Town Council. A great deal, of effort is expecte dto be directed towards the recreational problems of the ara.

They have been the target of a hypocritical campaign of misinformation and distortion by railroad management, intent on making them the scapegoats for the industrys increasing failure to meet its public service obligations. Is this "'featherbedding"? Government statistics show that the productivity of raff operating employees. has increased more than that of almost any other group of workers.

Last year 62 railroad operating employees lost their it's money you need for home improvements see Zions First National for a low-coIf st loan. 2,000 lives and 10,410 were injured. Of the injured, many lost limbs or were otherwise permanently disabled. Cutting the crew' size, as management now demands, would mean even more men killed and injured. Remember, railroad workers are on the job in all extremes of weather. y Opera ting, under discipline, they have direct responsibility far the lives of fellow employees and the public as well, and for the safe movement of millions of dollars worth of quasi-militar- equipment and property.
