Show fPoolTcopyys WEEKLY REFLEX-DA- VIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, SEPTEMBER 17, 1981 Thousands Served Through Schools Special Education - I suppose, some of the staffers at "Utah Holiday maga- zine think the Utah Restaurant Association has a "thin skin, considering our pointed comments about the publication's recent restaurant issue. WE ARE not above criticism and I am first to admit that my operations don't function smoothly 100 percent of the time. But, considering the huge investments and the economic gamble of starting up a restaurant today, we do feel accuracy should be a priority. Accuracy is not what the magazine's recent "Best and Worst issue contains. Once again, the authors have interspersed praise with sarcastic, leering comments about several leading local and national chains. OH, ITS great for the readers. ..and no doubt the annual issue is their biggest seller. But journalism should place accuracy at a premium; the prime search should be a search for truth and information, not a mere jockying for readers. The best idea is clever and made for fun reading in the 1974 (and subsequent editions) of the Peter Ross book. Since it was obvious the authors had not traversed the entire country, Passell-Leonar- d dining and fiddling with gadgets in millions of retail shops, there was no pretense of it being authoritative. UTAH HOLIDAY, however, is a different story. By stating that a salad bar is by far the best, the reader too often assumes that the magazines editorial staff dined at every salad bar in Utah. (According to the reply to the URA by editor Paul Swenson, the magazine claims restar-urareviews are never writ ten unless two visits are tftade. Can we assume Itoeji that all of the states restaurants woffee was sampled twice, before brazenly announcing the site of Utah's Best Coffee?) Some may $ay I am making a proverbial Mountain put of a MolehilLBut.the .maga- zine's . RESTAURANTS employing thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of dollars in property taxes are tainted with having inedible food. (Jhe general public must thjnl otherwise : since two, of thi pastaurants named are Rtotti-stchains v and doing many mlllons pfJol- -' lars in sales bach year? Who is being slanted? One writer or 10 (or 50) million people who have made the chains leaders in their field?) One restaurant is cited for pi the having the dirtiest troQm , Since we doubt tj)? wri- ter's Visited the' ntobms'of' 1 ,600 food estaWwhmrtfi.-Whave to figure that exposure in print is inaccurate at the least and a cheap shot as well! (Seriously, could it be that the previous visitor to the restoom became sick, creaiing the mess the- "Utah Holiday" staffer observed? And can we assume that the bathrooms at "Utah Hohday win the Seal of Good Housekeeping Award1) e - y ENOUGH IS enough! While it is absurd to name the best unless every restaurant is visited several times,' it$ also cruel to expose a restaurant in the "worst category without visiting all 1,600 restaurants as well. Maybe Ive been watching too many episodes of Lou but Ivfe always thought journalists reached Davis County Reappoints Two Attorneys, Officially Appoints Four Mote. . FARMINGTON - The Davis County Commission has reappointed two assistant county attorneys and officially appointed four more to serve in the county judicial system. ACTING assistant county attorneys Steven C. Vander-lmde- n and Melvin Wilson were reappointed by Commissioners Glen Saunders and Harry B. Gerlach on Tuesday. Don S. Redd, William K. McGuire, Paul W.
