Show LETTERS green river utah july 20 public forum dear editor I 1 wonder if the people of green river know that their kids are bored with their town have they ever given a thought be yond their own children 7 I 1 dare say y no they think my child Is ok 0 k he or she is not bad maybe not but how many kids are on the verge of being bad just because their town doesn doean t care enough to see that they have good clean things to do decent recreation 7 if they had a place of their own to go to to do with as the they please with adult supervision have the type of parties they want to do the type of things that young adults like to to do I 1 am sure they wouldn t plan anything that would not be approved of 0 by the majority of the people in town and I 1 think an overwhelming overwhelming majority our young people aren t bad they don t even want ant to be bad but if they had a place where they could gather with adult supervisors who understand the wants and needs of young adults who are going to be the fathers father and mothers and future citizens of this community much heart ache could be saved by both young and old I 1 ask Is there any better way for a community to spend a lit tie tle of its money than in the fu ture citizens of the town we need the operation cooperation and interest of the community the young people cant can t do it by themselves give youth something to do be sides going to the movie and then going out on the hill to park and don t say they don t because they do there isn t anything else to do they even start going steady out of pure boredom I 1 beg of you older people help your oung folks to get what they need in the way of recreation the investment would be so small in comparison to the results a happy youth young people satisfied with their home town and planning to stay in it instead of wanting to leave help your young citizens to love their town most of the kids are saying they want to leave here because it is dull and there is nothing interesting to do help make our town a place to think of as a great place to live in all the he t young people need is a start from you we fl 11 do the rest sincerely sherrill jones edward han ilan sen darwin damin hunt myrna lowe norma jean lowe jim perkins gary dale anderson olive seely jackie greenhalgh carol jean hurst robert tidwell norma june thompson jackie delong J kent ross georgia ross nan cy blake donna thompson sharon silliman faye wilcox james hunt boneta thompson fred keith bastian robert hoggett ila mae tidwell deone hunt ferd johnson edrae johnson glen C dumas dean king molly powell ariene arlene sherrill hilda hatch violet brock jay vetere wilma seeley barbara holloway sharlotte threlkeld billy ir vin vine betty irvine kenneth cur arden sherrill bud fay jr joe garcia brent growcock jo ann sherrill lawain adams marvin holloway jolene scovill marva jean burnett BRIGHAM YOUNG university provo utah of journalism july 26 1955 mr air gene at davis publisher green river journal green river utah dear mr air davis on behalf of the B Y U journal ism department I 1 wish to condrat you and your associates on launching publication of the green river journal this month we extend to you very best wish es s in your publishing venture and believe it will be a valuable ser vice to residents of your growing community sincerely yours oliver R smith chairman journalism department P S hope to get acquainted with you through the state press 0 S UTAH POWER LIGHT CO kearns building salt lake city 10 utah june 28 1955 1953 dear mr air davis may we at utah power light w wish ls h you success in your journell Jour journalistic nall st ic endeavor at green river we understand that your news paper will be the first tion there since 1921 we are sure that green river residents and the area s fast growing econ omy will benefit by a local publication li please feel free to call upon us at any time for editorial as si stance in connection with corn com pany operation cordially GRANT 4 publicity and advertising department in 1914 huntington installed its water system in 1915 the utah power and light co brought elec triciti to the town in 1918 the sewer senner system was begun and in 1940 the mountain states tele phone 1 co installed the phone sy tern tem pioneers found it hard to pro cure dyes and were forced to use their ingenuity they used rabbit brush flowers to produce yellow for cloth onion skins were used to dye easter eggs brown wasi obtained by boiling bark from the squaw bush |
