Claus parade. It was really a successful parade this year, largely due to the good Anna weather we had Friday, Holmes observed this week. We had a large turn out and it seemed to me that everybody had a really good time. Holmes, an officer of the West Valley Area Chamber of Commerce which sponsored the parade, admitted however, that I didnt have a lot of time to ask people what they thought of it because I was kept so busy handling traffic. Comments from parade viewers which she heard, however, were all very positive. More than 65 entries drove, marched, danced and road down 3500 South from Granger park to Valley Fair Mall. Floats, dance troupes, marching bands, clowns, politicians and military personnel greeted the crowd along the way, paving the way for Santa and Mrs. Claus. The jolly old elf and his spouse, along with of elves and other helpers royally, entered the city atop West Valleys largest fire engine. Following the parade, St. Nick was enthroned at Valley Fair where he heard the Christmas wishes of children, where he continues to perform this annual duty from noon until 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m on Saturdays. Beginning tomorrow (Friday), Kris Kringle will be joined by best dancing group of the day was the Sand Kickers. The award for the best commercial entry went to the Farr Ice Cream truck, with the best float award going to Miss West Valley and her attendants anfl accompanying carolers on the float sponsored by the Chamber. With all those entries, we only had two floats to choose from, she explained. It was a good day for the parade and Im sure everybody had a great time, she observed. It just keeps getting better and better each year. special Christmas entertainment at Valley Fair throughout the holiday season. ultimate In addition to the s award of St. Nicks visit during Fri-day- parade, awards were presented to other participants for their contribution to the festivities, Holmes noted. The award for best clown went to Ken the Elf of the 49th Street Galleria, she noted, with Valley junior high taking top honors for best marching band. The best marching group in the parade was deemed to be the Crystalairs, she noted, while the Parade Boosters Boast 'Heart' In Magna Event ed an entry from the Magna Recreation Center, sponsored by Tracy When the Christmas parade here was in the planning stage, there was very little support from community organizations. By the time the procession was ready to move down Main Street Friinday, however, there were several dividuals and organizations that rallied round to help. MAGNA. In expressing their appreciation, Brent Huish and Maxine Dean, who were in charge of the activity, said that they were deeply grateful for the show of confidence, noting that there were more people in the downtown area this year than ever before. Participants who contributed to making the parade a success includ Heun, director; eight clowns, sponsored by Monica Porter; Utah Power and Light, under the direction of Doug McGowan; Hunter junior high, under the direction of Mary Kay Jenson; Cyprus Spirit club, led by Holly Argyle; Brockbank junior high Dance club, directed by Jenniffer Johnson; Georgia Bammes Brownie troop; the Cyprus cheerleaders headed by Darlene Dilley; an entry from Dyches Drug; the Magna royalty riding in a new car provided by Gus Paulos Chevrolet. Although the Magna parade may not be the largest in the valley, Huish said, this year it had heart. ? KV uiewpoiut -- I There's More Than One i Approach To Traffic Glut There could be more than one approach toward traffic glut that is alleviating the threatening to grow to unbearable proportions before much can be done about it. Government officials in the Salt Lake Valley have given most of their attention to come up with a plan - and the means of financing it - to provide additional lanes on Interstate 15, as well as a light rail system that would be up or follow the Main or State the middle of Street routes. it would take to Even with the $500 million-plucarry out such a plan, most admit that by the time such construction would be completed, no improvement toward alleviating congestion would be noticeable. Whereas construction of additional transportation routes will no doubt be a part of dealing with future traffic, it by no means should be the only thing considered. .What about examining those things which are causing the traffic glut to proliferate at such an alarming rate Continued development of property along the Street corridor will only add to the already existing line of vehicles that proceed ever so slowly during what at one time were called the morning and evening traffic ''rushes.'' When that development happens to be the type that generates high volume traffic, such as office buildings, the problem mushrooms.

A network of arterial streets already exists throughout the valley, which, with some improvement and expansion, would provide the ease of access desired by those who develop such projects. Should a planner start from scratch, the commercial center of the Salt Lake Valley would be placed - where else - right in the middle, which would solve a lot of the present traffic problems. However, such is not the case and there is little likelihood that the commercial center of this valley will ever be other than in downtown Salt Lake. Those with financial interests in downtown Salt Lake can be expected to do all they can to keep it that way. Therein lies part of the stumbling block toward traffic problem in the solving the north-soutvalley. Any efforts toward spending money for traffic alleviation purposes - other than to assure a steady and heavy flow of traffic to downtown Salt Lake - will be opposed with considerable energy. That, however, should not discourage exploration of proposals that would bring commercial development in the central, southern and western portions of the county. Not only would success of such ventures be beneficial to communities in those areas, but it could also spread out the traffic flow, the bulk of which now goes to the far north end of the county. 299.00 (Suggested Retail $499.00 12 Built-i- n stitches including blindhem, g and overcast.
