Show PG Industrial Development Outlined at Uvida Meeting will create a better tax base within our communities, 2. which we believe will create additional jobs for our child-ren, 3. and which we believe will lead to cultural, education-al and economic opportunity for us all. My perspective is that of one who has been brought to our state by the efforts of those be-- Speaking at the luncheon ses-sion of the Utah Valley Indus-trial Development Conference hid at BYU last Saturday, Gov. Calvin L. Rampton said that the old techniques of attract-ing industry are not good enough in today's competitive and sophisticated market. During the morning session of the conference, speakers from eight cities presented the progress of their particular community's development. William H. K. Garst, presi-dent of Pleasant Grove City's Business Development Corpora-tion and manager of Bayly Mfg. Co., made the presentation for Pleasant Grove. Pleasant Grove is rated one of the most active and success-ful members of UVIDA and Mr. Garst presented slide portraits of the community's industry, showing graphically how im-portant is in at-tracting new industry. In part, Mr. Garst said: Today, we in Utah County participate in a new kind of progress, in a great opportun-ity for industrial development by virtue of our collective will-ingness to work toward a com-mon goal; 1. which we believe Di 1 fore me. As plant superintend-ent of the Bayly Co. in Pleas-ant Grove, I have had the op-portunity to view the courtship, the establishment of, and over-see the operation of a new com-pany located within the com-munity. As a citizen I have been blessed with the opportunity to help locate other industry with-in the state. From this vantage point, I would like to present a perspective of what I see as related to progress and oppor-tunity for industrial develop-ment within Utah County and Pleasant Grove City, in par-ticular. First and foremost, a grad-ual change has taken place, hope for some type of ecenomic miracle has been replaced by a real interest to paticipate in molding the future. Public fo-cus and participation have solv-ed problems of the past, we are looking as a people to the future. Our very participation in to-day's activity is a testimony to the general public interest in industrial development of the area. The fact that today in Pleas-ant Grove we have an estab-lished industrial park with two new industries and a plan for the continued harmonious growth within the overall area bespeaks of this same positive, essential asset. We need to sell our attitude, we need and want industry. Second, and perhaps our greatest asset is the abundant supply of stable, highly educa-ted, well trained people, willing to give a fair share of labor for the payroll dollar received. No prospect should visit our area wtihout seeing for himself our labor market at work. We should schedule trips through local plants and exhibit this, our foremost asset, human re-sources at work. During such trips a free and unbiased ex-change between the prospect and local employers will do (Continued on page 4) WILLIAM H.

A placque was to the honored guest by Mr. Carter. Mr. West was born in Pleas-ant Grove and educated in the local schools and the University of Utah. He taught school in American Fork, Vernal, Pleas-ant Grove, Manila and Vine-yard. He began his vocation as a banker at the Bank of Ameri-can Fork in 1919 as teller and bookkeeper.

There are times when I get a real kick out of members of the "in generation," especially when they condemn members of the "Establishment," who have given them everything material and educational, that they currently enjoy. A week or so back, one of them by the name of Carl Os-borne, address not given, wrote a letter to the "Public Forum" department of a Utah daily newspaper. In it he took a ver-bal crack at two older Forum writers for criticizing the young folks for their abuse of drugs and loose sexual behavior. Wrote Mr. Osborne: "We of the new generation are accused of flaunting the laws and standards of acepted decency. This is curious, be-cause both drugs and sex are personal matters. No one is in-volved in sex except the con-senting parties. Likewise, if a person uses drugs, it is only himself or herself who should-ers the consequences." Oh, Mr. Osborne, just try and tell that to Art Linkletter whose beautiful and talented daughter threw herself to death from a six-stor- y window, while she was high on LSD. Just try and tell that to city officials in New York City, where 100,000 drug addicts steal an estimated $10 millions worth of property each day to sup-port their habit. It's only a short step from "grass" to "acid.." Also Mr. Osborne, just try and tell that to the parents of thousands of unwed mothers, whose lives are blighted and whose children are handicapped in this country each year. Many times in years past, while riding herd on a few hun-dred high school teenagers, I have reminded them that no person living in a group has the right to do as he pleases. "Everything that you do, whether good or evil, has an effect upon somebody else," I told them. Then I emphasized the fact that if a person were a "Robin-son Crusoe," livnig alone on a solitary island, he might be jus-tified in doing as he pleases. Otherwise, not. Mr. Osborne concluded his epistle with another controvers-ial statement, to wit: "We are not flaunting these laws and standards, we are simply ignor-ing what seems to us to be useless." Wrong again, Mr. Osborne. To ignore a law that one under-stands, is to disobey it. If every American citizen "ignored" all of the laws he personally dis-liked, chaos and anarchy would be the end result. Of course, there are good laws and laws that are not so good. But there is a way: The good ones can be retained and the poor ones amended or re-pealed. That's what legislatures are for. No man is an island and no one man is a lawgiver, if he is a member of society, that is. So long 'til Thursday.

Mrs. Housekeeper brought a variety of driftwood with her and demonstrated the many ar-tistic possibilities with the gnarled and twisted shapes. She showed how to polish and pre-pare the wood to make it into a work of art. "Driftwood can be compar-able to growth of man in over-coming obstacles. The twisted forms show a struggle for sur-vival," Mrs. Housekeeper said. Lucille Hillman and Alice Simper, Garden Club members and members of the Beehive State Chrysanthemum Society, had entries in the annual "Mum" show at the Salt Palace last week, and won several Paul Smith, also had (Continued on page 4) |
