Comments directed at the Salt Lake campaign have included: "They're very pushy," from a Murray Chamber official who had considerably more to say on the subject. - From South Salt Lake, "When you get high pressure selling like this, they're not as open as they should be." - From Ogden, "The Salt Lake Chamber is interested in what happens to Salt Lake and that isn't necessarily what is best for the Ogden area." - A Bountiful official described the effort as "a high pressure type operation that none of us appreciates." Expressing himself editorially in the Jordan Valley Sentinel, a member of the Midvale Chamber suggested that his fellow members tell the Salt Lake Chamber's Salt Shakers to "stay at home." While the criticism is widespread and apparently justified, members and officials of all the smaller area chambers of commerce should not lose sight of the necessity to upgrade their own organizations to the point that they are fulfilling the needs of their local business communities. When that level of service is provided, only a very few businesses may find it necessary to services seek chamber of commerce-typoutside the community in which they are located. Chambers of commerce along the Wasatch front would do well to arm themselves with the more than what appears to be justified criticism of recruiting tactics employed by the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. Regardless of the methods used to sign up new members, the Salt Lake Chamber offers a broad program, one that could readily appeal to the regionally-orientefirms located in the smaller communities outside Salt Lake. While many chambers in the area might agree with that "fact of life," they have expressed varying degrees of displeasure with the Salt Lake approach toward expanding its membership rolls. An aggressive telephone campaign that has yielded 80 to 100 new members a month for the Salt Lake Chamber is the target for much of the criticism. A professional recruiting service from Texas was hired for the task. Since most chambers, by their very salesman nature, abhor the type, it stands to reason that chamber members in this area would look askance at the Salt Lake Chamber for employing the services of a firm that could be categorized as "here today, gone tomorrow." Recruitment - by any organization - deserves more personal treatment than that.

The City Council voted Tuesday to join a lawsuit against a state law forcing local government employes to participate in the State Retirement Program. In doing so, the council appropriated up to $5,000 for an impending legal battle between the state and perhaps as many as two dozen local governments. The council authorized the expenditure in a resolution which called a state law passed by the legislature on Feb. 22 and shortly thereafter signed by the governor, undebated, hastily enacted, patently Eagle Badge Is Gained By Youth HUNTER.

Redwood Insurances Accepted salvo in the fight when it filed suit against West Jordan this past week. West Jordan initiated the abandonment of the state system when it attempted to withdraw entirely last summer. At that time, the state contested the withdrawal in court. Following West Jordans example, other cities began looking at the state program in comparison to retirement plans offered by large private companies. In many cases, the benefits offered by the state were substantially lower than those provided in alternative programs, West Valley officials have pointed out. Just how much money West Valley City contributes to the legal fight depends on the city employes. At a meeting last week, a sizable majority of employes participating in the alternate program voted to of one percent contribute of their annual salary to the fight, one employe noted. They hoped to raise about $5,000 with those individual contributions, she said. Whatever amount is raised will be matched by the city, the resolution states. Shortly after West Valley gave employes the option, City Finance Director Russ Sanderson said more than 60 percent dropped out of the two-tent- .

I I I I I I The council also authorized City Manager John Newman to allow city employes - most likely the attorneys office - to spend time fighting the state action and ordered Newman not to forward the citys contribution to the State Retirement Program unless ordered by a court. West Valley, like a number of other cities and counties in the state, opted in December to give its employes an optional retirement program offered on the free market, one which produced a larger yield for both long and short-teremployes. The council did so quickly, anticipating that state officials would take action during the legislative session to bar local governments from abandoning the state system, thus plunging it into financial jeopardy. The city administration and council members believed that if they made the option available before the legislature had a chance to change the law, city employes could not be required to stay in the state system. They were both right and wrong, so far. The legislature did take action. On Feb. 22, both the Senate and the House suspended normal rules of operation and quickly pushed through a bill which forces local government employes to participate in the state program. But the lawmakers also made the bill retroactive, thus nullifying West Valleys action and those of numerous other local governments in the last few months. The provision irked local government officials and will serve as a - primary point of their- litigation against the state.

This past January, the Gem Theater reopened, offering low priced entertainment for all, including a special on Saturday matinees for children. The Gem is unique, in that it has a special area where parents with restless babies can attend to the babys needs and still enjoy the movie. This glassed-i- n room has comfortable seats, space to walk and its own speakers. This theater is clean, well kept and family run. Despite these qualities, attendance has been very low and the family is faced with discontinuing this service to Magna. Attending the movies in the Gem is a fun and entertaining way to keep Magna Main Street alive. Lets do it. Sincerely, Diana Hathaway Jo Wilson Magna Five Place First In PROVO.

He has been quartermaster, den chief, patrol and and we are proud of our safety record which is the best in the United States. Muir pointed out that Hercules holds the state and industrial record for no lost time accidents, adding that there have been no fatalities from explosives since 1964. We work hard on safety, Muir said. In fact, the workers are much safer at the plant than they are driving down the street. In speaking of the firms stability, Muir said that in the beginning the Bacchus plant relied on the Air Force, but now it has several programs. The Trident program, however, remains the strongest product base for the installation. In the question and answer period that followed, Muir said that graphite is made of polyester fiber, such as is used in clothing, which is oxidized through burning, turning it into graphite. From there it is made into a tape that is sold to customers, which is strong, stiff and has good thermal characteristics that makes it ideal for satellite structures. The cost by pound is three to four times more expensive in comparison to steel. He also said that dynamite hasnt been made at the Bacchus plant since the early 1960s. Currently the empty Air Force building on the corner of 8400 W. 4100 South is being renovated to house about 600 employes in June. Enrollment Increase Noted At Westminster of The number LAKE.
