I he city maintained that it was faiily enforcing the law by shutting down businesses who had no license to operate durum the Pageant. The question was asked, What is a business?" he mayor I answered that anyone who makes money is a business Someone then asked, Is a boy who sells a bicycle a business? The mayor said no. So is a business someone who makes money or not? One pci son asked about a widow who rents out a room for the Pageant Is that a business? A city worker answered that there is a were to stand waving at passing motorists who then park on that person's property not a business even if the patrons pay for the privilege but if there is a sign that advertises parking for a charge then is it a business? If the city tells someone they have a business and then after reading the law cannot even tell that person what a business is, how then can they fairly enforce the law when they cannot even define what the law says! No one from the city could even explain vvliat a business is. Can a law be enforced if no one knows what is being enforced? The citys business law was it pertains to the Pageant is a bad law and should be repealed and a decent law that everyone understands and can explain should be adopted. difference between someone who adveitises by woid of mouth and someone who has a sign advertising a business.

Daniels Eagle Scout service Painting stripes and numbers on airport runways is no small task. The numbers are huge (they must be seen from the air) and the centerline on this runway is a mile long. The high school students accomplished these painting assignments, using buckets and buckets of paint and then went on to repair threshold markings and project. Through the additional efforts of the airport maintenance committee, and the work of the youth, weeds and a fence have been removed, cracks have been filled, culverts have been added and covered and a new beacon light will be placed. Most citizens of these two cities have little opportunity to use the local airport, but it is a vital part of the two communities and important to future growth. tie-do- markers.

Buchanan What if you threw a party and nobody came? The Manti City Council held a meeting and hardly anyone came. Business leaders in the community were invited to attend a special meeting where the future needs of Manti City were to be discussed. Of the more than 100 business men and women invited to attend, only nine were at the meeting. Council members wondered if there vv ere that few in the area who arc concerned about the improve- ment of their community, or if they needed to be convinced of the importance of their individual efforts. The Council seemed to recognize that the latter is true and they will make personal calls on several businesses in town to talk about the issues that were dis- cussed in the meeting. Among those issued was a proposal that the entrance signs to the city be changed. It is felt that the ones that are there have served their purpose. They were attractive when they were installed years ago, but have since faded and are weather worn. Local artist and sign painter, Jim Bench, presented a proposal and drawing for replacement signs. These would be large, 5' by 12' redwood signs with a painted relief design. Community input is important in making these kinds of decisions and cost is always the bottom line. The Council is seeking some help from the business community in meeting the $5,500 required for this project. Councilwoman Nita Madsen talked to the group about the city beautification. Manti has applied for the Tidy Town award. Mrs. Madsen said that over 70 entries from individuals have been received. A group representing the awards committee toured the city last week and seemed to be favor- ably impressed. The first prize in the competition is a mini park with walkways, plantings including trees and benches. She also said that there are individuals in town who are interested in spearheading an effort to place cement planters and benches on downtown streets. She feels that this would be a most worthwhile endeavor and encourages the support of all w ho would be involved in such a project. Councilwoman there is no deadline for being admitted to the school, the sooner you become admitted so you can register for c lasses, the more freedom you will have in choosing which classes you can attend. A majority of young people who plan to attend Snow this fall have already been admitted and have signed up for classes, but there is still plenty of time to complete the necessary paperwork for starting classes in You must simply fill out an application of admission and pay Stlie $20 application fee. Then you need to attach your high school transcript and ACT, or SAT scores to the application and send it to the admissions office at Snow College. Once this is completed, you can call to make an appointment for a preregistration session and talk with an advisor who can help you select the classes you will need for your area of interest. This can be done by calling 283-402- 1, assist in the painting project Barbara Wintch talked about the need to replace the Christmas decorations on Main Street with larger and more attractive displays. Richfield City was very successful last year in their crusade to encourage local businesses to purchase individual decorations to be hung on their Main Street, she said. In fact the effort was so successful that the city was able to hang decorations the full length of the street instead ofjust the business district as was originally planned. A suggestion was made that corporate businesses in the community also be contacted for their financial input into these projects. ' ! M Thoughts were also expressed concerning the possibility of organizing a Manti City Chamber of Commerce to help with these efforts. The City Council is anxious to involve the business community in all these efforts to make Manti an even more attractive place to live and work. Paul Scholes and John Taylor make this be seen from the air. extension 390.
