We feel it has some implications which may fit our own area. ) ( WAKE UP OR DIE As a child I witnessed the death of a town. It was the town I grew up in. It had a great potential because it served a large area where a large town was badly needed. There were two railroads with depots in the town. There was a small army base located three miles from town and one of the railroads had a depot there. The merchants were banded together and strong and wanted to keep the business for themselves so they blocked the chain stores when they attempted to build in the town. When a location for a college was being sought they blocked that too because they didnt want a lot of college kids around town. They felt that the army boys were trash instead of boys from other towns like theirs so they lobbied strongly to close down the permanent army fort. They realized their ambition and in a few years began to feel the results of their labor and made many vain attempts to correct their mistakes to no avail. Today this town is a lot of vacant business buildings and homes. The few children that grow up there leave to find employment in the nearest big tovn and actually look with ridicule at what used to be one of the best locations for a town that could be found. As an adult, I am again watching the death of a town. Did anyone notice the lack of business on Main Street this last weekend? I did. It seemed strange to see more clerks in the stores than customers and most of the customers were clerks from other stores. There was plenty of parking, wasnt there? One excuse to hide behind is the steel strike. But that is a very poor one because there are lots of other people with pay checks that are going to the towns north of here to do their shopping. They are going because these towns are merchandising and promoting, through advertising in local papers, and attract them to their stores. Once they become familiar with what these stores have to offer, they form a habit of going there to shop. Merchants are advocating shop at home and then never let the customers know what they have to offer. You must put forth effort and appear interested in attracting the customer in order to get him into your store to do his shopping. We are caught in a whirlpool in this town. Very few advertise, there are very few customer and we have very little money to use for advertisement to sell our wares. We are gradually being sucked down, down into the center of nowhere. Now is the time to give this town a blood transfusion. Wake up today! Tomorrow will be too late! Get busy and advertise. Start small and youll grow big. A sign in your store window cant be seen by the customer in another town, or by the housewife in her kitchen. Start doing something before you have to close the door of your store. The freeway is here. You have to really work to get those customers back that have already deserted you. There is an old saying, A stitch in time saves nine. A dollar spent now to gain a customer can save you nine later and no doubt bring better re- sults. The customer is always right but first you have to get him in your store before you can serve him.

Lambert State Engineer Published in Southern Utah News, Kanab, Utah, on Feb. 1, 8, and 15, 1968. (This is a continuation of a) report on Kane County Minerals. This week; Kane Countys Nonmetallic Mineral Deposits and Operations.) COAL: Extensive coal deposits, chiefly low grade, are found in many areas of Kane County. The only active mine in recent years is the Alton, north of Kanab, which has been producing between 1,000 and 2,000 tons per year. However, the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam has focussed the attention of utility companies on the volatile bituminous deposits of the Kaiparo-witPlateau. A great deal of mapping, exploration work and filing for prospecting permits has been done in the last five years. There have been several proposals for construction of large coal, fired generating plants near Lake s steam-electr- ic Powell. The plan which gives greatest promise of ultimate fulfillment was developed by three large power companies Arizona Public Service Co., Southern California Ediscn Co. and San Diego Gas and Electric Co. through a subsidiary, Resources Co. Kane-Garfiel- 1 OIL AND NATURAL GAS: Since 1953 only eight wells all dry holes have been drilled in Kane County. Three of these were in the Mt. Carmel area; two in Rees Canyon, and one each in the Soda Springs, Kai-baGulch and Kanab areas. b SAND AND GRAVEL: The only commercial producer listed in UGMS Dircetory of the Mining Industry of Utah, 1965 is Boyds Rock, Sand & Gravel Co. at Kanab. The state has a pit south of Mt. Carmel Junction that produces occasionally for road construction and maintenance work. There was a temporary upsurge in production during construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, however, and output reached 4,049,200 tons in 750,000-kilowat- t 1 Si ONUS: Apate, petri- - SILICA: Deposits lie near Kanab. Severol shipments were made in the early 1950s from the Moqui Cave north of Kanab to U. S. Steels Geneva Works, but no production has been reported in recent years. STONE: The county has an abundance of commercial-gradsandstone. One quarry in the hills east of Kanab produces occasionally; furnishing a good quality building stone. VOLCANIC GRITS: Found east of Glendale. Have been used now and then in the making of cement blocks. e N. 2465 ft. and W. 2640 16-i- Sec. 25, T43S, R5W.

There comes a time in your life when it seems absolutely right to rebel against old ideas. Against all the things that seem to be stacked up against your generation. Unfortunately, religious faith is cne of the things that may get discarded right about now. But should it be? Your Faith echoes the very feelings' you probably have right now. About Preeented d 1951.

All uses in parts of all of nod- ule are among gem stones collected in commercial quantities at various times. GYPSUM: Undeveloped gypsum rock deposits lie 11 miles west and three miles southwest of Orderville; also three miles east of Glendale and near Cannonville, on the county line. LIMESTONE: Produced occasionally in Kane County, but there has been no substantial output since 1962. If announced plans reach fruition, initial construction will involve two units. Later construction would build capacity to 10,000,000 kilowatts. Such a plant would probably be the largest single industrial investment in the states history seme $1,500,000,000. It would consume an estimated 50 million tons of ceal annually, about seven times Utahs present output.
