The Roosevelt Chamber of Commerce office received a rather unusual letter this week, which brings up a point which we have maintained for some time: We do have some friendly people around here. The letter had been forwarded to the chamber by Utah's Governor Calvin L. Rampton, who had forwarded it from Governor John D. Vanderhoff of Colorado, who had forwarded it from the original writer. The incident started near here a couple of weeks ago, when a lady who was traveling from Nevada to Colorado had a blowout on her car. She found she had few tools, and faced the impossible task of changing the tire. She was about ready to give up in dispair, after several attempts, when a truck stopped, and the driver assisted her. He even took the tire into Roosevelt for repairs, and saw her on her way. The lady tried to pay the driver, but he wouldn't accept pay. She asked his name and the address of his company, but he just said he was happy to have helped her, and drove on. All she was able to get was the fact that the truck belonged to Uintah Freightways. The lady first wrote to Uintah Freight-way- s in Salt Lake City, but because of no address, the letter was returned. She tried information, but they could not locate the company. Still wanting to extend her thanks, she wrote a letter to the governor of Colorado, explaining the event, and asking him to forward the letter to the governor of Utah to see if he chould help find the company. Governor Rampton forwarded the letter to the Roosevelt Chamber of Commerce, and personel there were able to extend the thanks and appreciation to the proper persons involved. It was found, through Wayne Smith, the local manager, that the driver was John Postmas, and he was commended for his service to the public. In the letter, the lady stated she wanted to thank the company, "For having such nice, helpful neighbors, who would take time and effort to get involved when their help was needed. Although this type of thing happens quite regular around here, and each case bears recognition, we felt the circumstances surrounding the incident, and the extreme appreciation felt by the person helped were unusual to say the least.

We stand behind before we find what tha two behind be fori On mules we find two We mentioned some of the rumors that have been floating around, but during the past week there were a couple of beauts. For instance, we heard by the grape-vinfrom a "reliable source that the newspaper here is so worried about things going down hill, afraid that there wont be any business around in another year, that the owner has put the whole works up for quick sale. It was certainly news to us. If the rumor is true, we wonder what we will do with the new typesetting equipment, new. presses, bunding expansion program and added personel which are and have been added? Anyway, we did some tracking down. As near as we can tell the rumor started from an individual moving into the area who wants to buy some real estate. He couldn't find what he wanted at the price he wanted, so started the rumors in order to affect the prices. (That's what our sources found out). And the report is that this is not the first time this has been done. Oh well, anything is fair in love and war. Out how about the real estate business?

Crandall, regional director of the Bureau of Reclamation, also met with the Board and representatives of water users' associations and heard complaints of a wide credibility gap between the water users and the governmental agencyWe are tremendously upset by the Diet that water users are told what is going to happen after things have happened," Mr. Hugh McKellar, manager of the Provo River Water Users' Association, told Mr. Crandall in a prepared statement.

Bennett, today criticized the Senate's rejection of a substitute minimum wage bill, and said he will support a Presidential veto if the bill recommended by the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare is approved. A final vote on the issue is scheduled in the Senate tomorrow. The bill now before the Senate will have serious inflationary and unemployment impact on the entire economy, and is especially harmful to small business, farmers, students, young workers, and other marginal employees such as the handicapped, the elderly and the poor," he said. The Utah Republican supported a substitute bill on the Senate floor which stretched out minimum wage increases, and contained a youth differential to avoid worsening the high teenage unemployment rate. However, the substitute was defeated. Sen. Bennett said the bill recommended by the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare would raise the nation's annual wage costs by an estimated $4.7 billion or more by increasing the present minimum wage for most workers from $1.60 an hour to $2.20 an hour by next year, and extending minimum wage and overtime coverage to about seven million new employees. "The segments of our economy who will surfer most by this action are small business and young employees. The small businessman simply cannot afford this large increase in labor costs all at once, and as a result he will have to eliminate the student jobs and the part-tim- e jobs for young people" he said. The substitute bill would have increased the minimum wage to $2.30 an hour over a four year period, and contained a youth differential rale of 85 percent of the new rates for students with part-tim- e jobs and youth under 18 during their first six months on the job. The bill would also have retained the present overtime and minimum wage exemptions during a study period, rather than eliminating them as the final bill does. |
