The Gulls dropped a heartbreaking 3 game in eleven innings but the rest of the festivities went off in fine shape.

Her Social Security and very small pension cannot meet her expenses. I feel the burial should not be counted unless the person to be helped sells it, and then money received could be counted as assets. It removes such a worry from ones mind when you know you can be buried how and where you want without stress for any loved ones left behind. Must our elderly be denied this comfort also. It is embarrassing enough to have to ask for aid. Patterson The summer reading program is over and everyone is getting to go back to school.

What a beautiful Mall this new By Rebecca Dicken This is a reprint of one of Beckys favorite editorials. We feel her message bears repeating. Community pride, loyalty to local businesses by customers and dedication to local interests by businesses is the subject under the Magnafying Glass this week. Community pride can always use sharpening. As residents of Magna we must continue to support the community and its businesses if, indeed, those businesses, and thus the community are to survive. The United States was built on the principal of business. Those brave people who first ventured across the Atlantic Ocean to settle this great country were primarily merchants. They suffered under the heavy taxation laws in England and they sought a better life, one where they could make their own decisions as to government and business regulation. They rebelled when the taxation burden became too heavy and won their independent decision making rights. Thank goodness the people of Magna and Hunter can make their own decisions as to where they shop and spend their money. Thank goodness they have the freedom to continue to support their local businesses or begin to support them more if they are deficient in this area. Area businesses need their support. Your local weekly newspaper also needs your support. It is a business, it needs advertising support from local merchants, it needs subscriber support from readers and needs the support of local writers, columnists, and contributors. Every town needs its community support! Dorothy and I are leaving early next week for Vashon Island where I will finally get to see our Cadi.

Prizes were drawn and given away during the game and a good time was had by all. The f'MAGNiWying 'Glass Crossroads Mall is. If that and the ZCMI Mall dont bring people back to shop downtown, then nothing will. The view from the 20th story of the CSB Tower is absolutely awe inspiring. I was in an office on the Northwest Corner of the tower about 11:00 at night and could see the lights of the Temple Grounds, Capitol Hill and to the west, all the way to Magna. The development is quite an addition to the Salt Lake skyline. By Lois Knutsen The paralyzing effects of a labor strike are making themselves felt in our readership areas of Magna, Hunter, and Copperton. The first few weeks never seem so bad, many have deliberately taken vacations, others feel optimistic that the strike will be settled soon so they dont worry, too much. But now the strike is over a month old. Vacations are over, savings are being dipped into more and more, and many are feeling the pinch. There are those who have weathered strikes before and still feel that this one is no different, they will survive. They say that they have prepared for the eventuality and even though they may have to tighten the belt some theyre going to make it. But there are others who arent quite so fortunate. What happens to the young breadwinner who has only worked for a few years? He has a wife and small children, a mortgage that may be a bit steep in the first place, and payments to make in order to keep what he has acquired. What happens to this unfortunate family? They havent worked as long as some of the others, they havent had the chance to save for the eventuality. In some cases other members of the family come to the rescue with financial as well as emotional support. Lucky are those who have parents who can help hold the young family together. But what of those who dont have that kind of life preserver? Some are trying to find some other kind of work, just temporary until the strike is over. Its hard going because few employers are eager to hire someone who is not planning to stay. Besides, it usually involves taking a substantial cut in pay but many will do it just to be earning something. Then there are others who might decide they cant make the sacrifice in order to stay with their present employer. They will find other work and give up the seniority they may have acquired, the excellent benefits, the chance to get ahead, so that they can provide security for their families. Its a pity, it really is. Dreams and hopes have to be altered, a change in lifes direction has to be effected. A strike seems to hurt so many people. Then when it is over and concessions have been made on both sides, have they won much? Labor will probably never make up what they lost in wages. Some will never be able to go back to a routine way of life. Management may also suffer in other ways, not always readily discernable to most. Was it really worth it? So much damage has been done to so many and the economy being what it is, was it really worth they provide a refreshing insight into the heritage of strength offered by the women of our state.
