Get off!’ I said ‘No speak England ”’ He speaks English very weli but I guess it comes in handy to seem not to in those sort of circumstances He said so far everyone had been very friendly and helpful and had only had his watch stolen wish him weli the rest of the way and that he returns to Japan with a decent opinion of the US have been going to tell you about my 2 dogs that hang out on the roof I gave one away (and then it ran away) so now only have one that hangs out on the roof She doesn’t do it so often now that her new friend is a Great Dane who hasn’t learned to hang out on the roof yet and hope she doesn't But it was quite interesting to have someone come to the front door and have 2 dogs come over the peak of the roof to bark Collins always said I had weird animals the Hinckley water or something But Media Man!

The antenna goes up and down Turn the tuner and you get a variety of AM and FM Marked down from $12 stations million to only $22 95 Call within the next five minutes to reserve your radio goes to Hollywood by I sort of now The Home Shopping Network is probably only the second silliest new ay to spend money At the top of my list is spending $2 a minute to call in and listen to recordings of your favorite rock star or teen idol Think about it That comes out to $120 per hour to lister to a recording Some of the lines advertise that "random callers will get to talk to rhe celebrity live” Great you’re still paying $ 120 an hour to listen to a rich person’s philosophy of life lines have Dating and s become telephone singles bars and cost about the same price per lines minute as the celebrity Again you have to ask yourself when was the last time you spent $120 an hour on a date? Most people balk at the $20 price of tickets to live concerts and sporting hours events that last The dangerous thing about all these new ways to spend is that there is no You don’t exchange rtinse of purchase anything but numbers and the total cost and related guilt doesn’t hit you until the end of the month realize nobody uses cash Okay anymore but at least when you use a credit card at a store you hear that ominous metal on metal sound of the mechanical guillotine going over your credit card Socially conscious buying by Dennis Hinkamp Information Writer Utah State University The Alaskan oil spill and the ensuing boycott of Exxon raises the question “Can you be a socially conscious consumer?" Boycotts generally draw media attenbut tion and raise public awareness they usually don’t last long You can choose not to buy Exxon cars but buygasoline or ing according to conscience is harder in the supermarket How do you know the political and environmental reputation of a particular maker of laundry soap? One of the first organizations to try to address this is the Council on Economic Priorities (CEP) “Shopping for a Better World” is a guide listing the stance of the makers of about 1300 products on 10 social issues The issues they look at are charitable giving women’s advancement minoridefense contracts ty advancement animal testing community outreach nuclear power South Africa environand willingness to disclose ment information You don’t have to agree with all the “evils” that the booklet outlines It b set up so you can ignore some of the issues you are not opposed to For instance some people believe Consumer Fireworks ARE FOR PEOPLE MOT PETS that nuclear power is a safer alternative to burning fossil fuels which may be destroying the ozone layer Others may be adamantly to nuclear opposed power because of the possibility of radiation contamination You the consumer can pick and choose A product manufacturer may be for nuclear power but against product testing involving animals As you might expect most of the products in the book have pluses and minuses don’t want to pick on any particular product in this article but reading through the booklet revealed some surprises Some of my are contributors to products generous charities On the other hand some of the good and good for you" products are listed as big offenders in the area of animal testing and are owned by parent companies that make cigarettes Most consumers are probably not going to have the time to look up every item in their shopping carts but it is a handy guide if you are concerned about a few products that you buy frequently Shopping for a Better World costs $495 and can be ordered by calling By the way the booklet is printed on recycled paper HOTEL continued Community Calendar Motor Vehicle Schedule: Fillmore & Delta weekdays Millard County Assessor’s offices 10:30 am Mondays “Women and Self Esteem” Turning Point Office Voc Center Delta and Tuesdays Mondays pm “Assertion I” Vved 10 noon “Life Management Skills” Tues for 3 weeks June 4444444444444444444444444444gf Milled Ceunty The Chronicle Progress USPS 0 IM24 wry WW Pate tftaa lit— Editor Publisher Dutton 6 Sutan Editorial Reporter at large Kind Ken Advertising Wood Riley t Salet A count Juke Goertz Ward Fillmore Mallet Evelyn Rec Salet Rita Robmton 7 Design Office Manager Grculation Ward Juke Goertz CircuUtionComp GrcuU non Production Rita Robmton Commercial ' Printing Dutton Shefltt Subtcripnoot In Advance County $2000 per year In County $1300 per 6 months $25 00 per year Out of County 00 per 6 month Out of County Smgie Copy 50 cents POSTMASTER: Send Address changes In fO Boa 249 Ia Sacaa mn Delta Utah taut Zual On Port' 04U to m Mu Uu4 USX m SS41ZH FUwni PUaUSHt i: (Am AtsoQATONWSWti' I i If Marriott Hotels would contract with AGI to buy their products “or bring them in as part owner or like that” Gillins said something “that would be just what they need to confirm that they can come here” If Marriott shows any interest Gillins said he would recommend to the city council the agreement with AGI be extended ”to allow this to run its course” The packaging phase of the business would employ about 40 workers About 100 would be needed with the Most workers would be expansion hired locally Tharp has visited Fillmore several times "He’s convinced this is where he would like to live” Gillins said It would be a very clean industry Gillins said “There are some used in the manufacturing understand” he said "Not that but you have to they’re hazardous handle them carefully because of odor and things like that” Some animals are used in the manufacture of soap Gillins said he doesn’t know what the would have on the impact industry tax base “We haven’t even vestigated it We want it to be a little lower on the echelon of importance Our number one goal is to have an dustry to help the economy of the area” he said “We think it would be a very good thing for the area” Gillins said bypoducts ”Our republic and its press will rise or fall together An able and disinterested can press preserve that public virtue without which popular government is mockery” j sham and a — Joseph Pulitzer July 3 -

Movie reviews were invented by some schmuck who didn’t get the part as a way of getting back at some schmuck who did Movie reviews are boffo biz because there are always a lot of people willing to take the word of some disgruntled schmuck that they shouldn’t go see a movie the schmuck who never misses a movie said starred some schmuck who was woefully miscast Of course despite the fact that movie tickets cost you as much as a college education have to stand m line behind Sammy the Sweat Hog and his bawling kid Daryl the Drooler to buy the tickets the popball bearings the corn is Milk Duds you buy to stick in the ear of anybody who tries to molest you like taste pterodactyl eggs your shoes stick to tht floor the theater smells like the Chicago Bears locker room and Sammy the Sweat Hog and his bawling kid Daryl the Drooler sit right behind you you go to the movies to see if the schmuck who told you it was a bad movie was right Go figure So how come these schmucks get paid like Supreme Court Justices for watching movies while the average r has to peddle cocaine on the side to be able to afford to attend the movies these schmucks say we shouldn’t go see? Hey I dunno I’m sorry I’m just a humor columnist Gimme a break Movie reviewers have three things in common One they all wear those crummy fuzzy sweaters most people never bother to take out of the wrapper after they get it from Aunt Minnie for Father’s Day (Unless they are girl movie reviewers There are very few of those but they usually manage to do things with fuzzy sweaters that Rex Reed could never do y’know what The Amazon is too wide at many points tor a person on one bank to aee the opposite shore Anyone desiring to be in the variety show or have a fioat in the main parade should contact Ron or Lorelei Draper at or call the city offices at WERE FIGHTING FOR VCURUFE i AA MEETING SCHEDULE Monday - 8 pm Mental Health 51 North Center Open Meeting - Wednesday 8 pm Mental Health Office 51 North Center Closed Meeting ALANON Wednesday - 8 pm Mental Health Office Call or 0 Early deadline for next issue Advertisers and cor- respondents are advised that all ads and articles for our next issue must be in our office no later than Friday afternoon Our normal deadline for ads is Monday That will not be the case this week This week no copy will be accepted on Monday The Chronicle Progress will be prepared a day early (Monday) so that our staff may enjoy the 4th of July celebrations on T uesday when we normally prepare the paper for printing Thank you for your support and cooperation ATOCfiCan HCr1 Association f " |
