Show A WELL-BALANCED COMMUNITY Most cities and towns just grew up, like Topsy, and it is little wonder that many towns become top-heavy that is, with too much emphasis on one phase of development. We can point out with some degree of pride that our town is fairly well balanced in regard to its resources and growth thus far. No one man or no small group of men control all the money here. No one institution dominates. Our churches, while differing in size of structure struc-ture and strength of memberships, hold out a charitable and strengthening arm to help and protect others in good works. We have outstanding civic . organizations and lodges, but in their social and fraternal life they are not snobbish, they live and let others live. On the whole, our merchants and business houses believe in and practice a spirit of fair play. Competition is spirited, but clean; rigorous, but healthy, and serves but to enliven trade. Ours is a well-balanced community. As we are writing this, an altogether too ironical and inquisitive person per-son suggests that we are writing about a town called Utopia instead of I Bingham Canyon. But we arc writing from personal experience and observation, ob-servation, and well, we've never been over to Utopia. |
