While out hunting be wise, end know just exactly where top Use cere with guns Business helps offered As part of the services offered to the business community of the region, the Roosevelt Area Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a program next Thursday, Oct. 18, in connection with their regular monthly meeting, which will provide information on the prevention of shoplifting, and also on better sales-custo-m- er relationships. Since state officials will be on hand to present the program, we suggest that every merchant in the area make a special effort to have all of their supervisory and sales personel at the meeting. It seems that every year brings greater loss from pilfering and shoplifting. It not only creates a problem for the merchant, but it also brings an added cost to the consumer since the loss must be recouped by additional funds from sales. There have been other clinics held in the past to acquaint merchants with methods of combating the problem. The clinics have been successful, although some have felt that perhaps the presentation was geared too much on methods, giving shoplifters new ideas as to how it could be done. The program this year, however, is developed in two basic areas. The presentation for merchants will deal with some of the methods being used, and possible detection procedures. A presentation has also been developed to be given at the schools in the area the same day, dealing with some of the ramifications that can be expected should a young person be caught shoplifting. It will be pointed out the seriousness of the problem, and suggest that an all-obattle is being waged to lessen the ut and matches, let others know and see, just how Another phase of the state presentation here will be suggestions for sales people to present a more agreeable public image. It is felt that the attitude and willingness of sales clerks to be of service to customers is one of the greatest deterents to shoplifting, as well as the stimulation of business. Because of the size of the group, and the importance of the program, plans have been made to hold the meeting in the new lunch room of Union high school. Not only will participants have an opportunity to receive valuable information, they will also be able to visit the newly opened facility at the high school. Again we commend the chambers of commerce, both Roosevelt and Duchesne for the efforts they are making in building a better community. It is a constant battle, often with little visible success. But if they can receive the support of their communities there is no end to the help that can be offered. The greatest deterent to a successful chamber of commerce, however, is indifference. The attitude that the chamber has done nothing in the past, and therefore can't be affective in the future, has many communities to a dimishing role in a growing economic atmosphere. The chambers in Duchesne safety concious you, and yours can be. Nobody Reads The Ads.

They are human institutions and imperfect, as we are often reminded by events. Meanwhile there is nothing god-likabout a newspaper. Its presses don't grind at all they whirr exceedingly fast.
