J Parr Godfrey of Midvale asks this question Do you think that the new offspring of Mr and Mrs Frank Sinatra will call its mother Mamma Mia I have had a problem that has been bothering me for quite some time When we moved to Sanpete six years ago we were very Impressed impressed impressed im Im- im- im pressed with the desire of the local residents to better their lot by the addition of new in industry industry industry in- in and services to the community community community com com- to raise the living stand stand- ard During the past six years we have seen many things added to tG our way of life that have raised not only the living conditions but the cleanliness of the area And that's why we are puzzled About six months ago a man named Bob Smith of Gunnison introduced a rubbish service Inthis In inthis this area I know that several people have tried this line of business in this area during the past six years and all went flop Comments we heard were that he wouldn't last or his price was wasa a bit too high or that going to the dump each week was cheaper cheap cheap- er and much more fun than Jetting letting letting let Jet ting someone else haul away the debris But Mr Smith had a sincere desire to make Sanpete his resi resi- dence He worked hard and secured secured secured se se- se- se cured around 12 customers inthe in inthe inthe the Manti area He has faithfully faithfully faithfully faith faith- fully attended to these customers each Saturday morning and has been very efficient in this work I think that if you will talk to any of his customers you would see them shudder at the prospect prospect prospect pros pros- of stopping the service About the money angle He decided decided decided de de- that if all aU the people who had said they would start his service would begin if he lowered lower lower- ed his price it would be worth it So he did only making the stipulation that the rubbish be placed on the curb each Saturday Saturday Saturday Sat Sat- morning and the papers be tied to meet city regulations He certainly is not trying to rob his customers with high costs He left a job In Los Angeles where he was making over 13 a year because he felt that Sanpete was a better place to live All AU the money that he wants now is enough to pay the bills And the third reason well this one is the one that bothers me even more Why anyone wants to slop around in the mud Continued on page four STAhLE STABLE Continued from page one every spring and fall and slide all over the place going to o the e dump in the winter is beyond I some just enjoy enjoy enjoy en en- me But guess joy a challenge Now Mr Smith has taken a ajob ajob ajob job up north He is home every Saturday pronto to make sure that his collection service is running smoothly He had even hoped to buy a new large garbage garbage garbage gar gar- could bage truck so that he make an offer to Manti and Ephraim Ephraim Ephraim Eph Eph- raim to make a monthly pickup at a very low price But the sad ending to this story is that now Mr Smith says that the expenses are eating eating eating eat eat- ing him alive and he just isn't getting any more customers and andis is afraid that the hand writing is on the wall that Sanpete does not want a rubbish collection service I hope you will give him a try after all you know that the t f proof of the pudding is in the I tasting I Conductor complained the V passenger that fellow sitting f Q there Is a lunatic He keeps w I claiming hes he's George Washing- Washing il ton Ill take care of that that said the conductor Next stop Mt ML V Vernon Vemon And while we are talking about problems there is one more thing that I would like to see our county people do Industries in industries industries in- in Sanpete County has many which are seasonal in their employment It is no fault of their own But you can only work when there is a demand for your product When our local workers are cut off their work and are forced to go on unemployment they must drive to Richfield to pick pickup up their unemployment checks This is an inconvenience for formost most and a definite hardship on those who do not drive It t should be possible to have havethe havethe havethe the state send a man into Sanpete Sanpete Sanpete San San- pete County one day each time that the checks are dispensed The Manti ManU Business Association Association Association tion went on record as favoring this plan last Monday night and plan to write a letter to Senator Rees and Rep Vance Aagard requesting their assistance assistance assistance assist assist- ance in this matter Why dont don't a few of us sit down and write these two legislators and seek to have this matter changed After all none of us know when it may be our turn to have to drive the mile trip round-trip to up pick-up our unemployment unemployment funds Two things can turn a girls girl's head Success and Peroxide h |
