Show ! Universal 1'icrofilning lil Pierpont City 1 - ylK Vol. 29 No. .40 Sugar House, Utah Thursday, Oct. 17, 1957 Price 10 cents Parking Merry-Go-Rou- nd Sugar House city police are handing out parking violations tickets freely to violators of the new ordinance against rush hour parking on Highland Drive, but apparently the county sheriff is not even awarethat the No Park-ing signs have been put up on Highland Drive in the county. When the combination city-count- y ordinance was passed, County Commissioner Lamont Gundersen assured the Highland Strip merchants through Willis G. Carlisle, that the ban would not be enforced for six months. This would give Strip merchants time to arrange offstreet parking for their customers. j The Salt Lake Traffic Engineer's office, under the direction of Ray ! ' Halversen, posted the signs any-how, apparently without mention-ing it to the Commission. Commissioner Gundersen said the signs should be masked for the grace period. Repeated calls from Mr. Carlisle to the traffic engineer's office have resulted in nothing more than buckpassing. Two of Mr. Halversen's assistants and Mr. Halversen himself had assured Mr. Carlisle that they "would check into this and call you back." As of the Independent f press deadline, no one had bother-- J ed to pick up the phone to tell Mr. Carlisle and the Highland j Strip merchants where they stood on parking. The Independent reporter fared no better with Sheriff George Beckstead. The sheriff said he would send a man to look into the matter. The reporter asked the sheriff, "Then as of now, if I parked al-ong the Highland Drive in the re-stricted area, and you came along and saw my parked car, you would have to give me a ticket?" The sheriff answered in some of the best political evasive double-tal- k this reporter has heard for some time. From the sheriff's an-swer, I don't know if it's still legal to park on the Highland Strip or not. The whole thing seems to hinge on the sheriff's hrase, "properly posted" signs. Now, the signs are the same in the city as they are in the county. The city police feel they are "pro-perly posted." They give tickets to persons who insist on parking where it says "No Parking." Either the signs in the county should be covered as per authority from the Commissioner, by in-structions from the traffic engin-eer; or the sheriff's office should be enforcing the ban. Of course, if they do enforce it, there will be questions from the Commission. However, SOMETHING should be done. What we want to know is, who's gonna do it? Sugar House Jaycees Speak For Home Rule Government ; t' - , X - , - " v.- - - . : t I il - v ' I .' t 1. i issue should not be drawn along political lines. He is immediate ' past president of the Sugar House Jaycees. "The only way to improve the city is to work on the basic prob-lem, which is pride of the resident for his community," said Mr. Johnson. "If we intend to do some-thing concrete about helping Salt Lakers to become truly proud of their city today, it must be under home rule. The present system is too unwieldy, slow and cumber-some. It is definitely antiquated." A youth project to be worked out by a civic group such as the Jaycees has long been a dream of Mr. Johnson's. Organized cor-rectly, a civic group would insti-tute a program in high schools; organize the young people to work with community leaders. Purpose would be to teach the young peo-ple to think of civic improvements and to deal with the problems of delinquency themselves, with gui-dance from adult experts. Thus, Mr. Johnson says, when they be-came community leaders, they would have a solid background of experience. This program would be large enough to reach most of the potential leaders among the teens. The school programs of ex-tra - curricular activities do not reach more than a small percen-tage of such potential leaders, Mr. Johnson believes. Johnson is a partner in Sharp and Johnson, Salt Lake architec-tural firm. He lives at 2525 Elm Avenue with his wife, Beverly and their three daughters, Rosalind, Susan and Linda. George Henry Johnson "Planning for capital improve-ments, such as parks, fire sta-tions, streets, could be many times more effective with a home rule type of government than un-der the present system," says George Henry Johnson. Mr. Johnson is the Sugar House Jaycee - nominated candidate for the Salt Lake City Charter Com-mission. His definite views come from seven years study of com-munity planning at the University of California and University of Utah, and as a member of the American Institute of Architects. He has served on the legislative committee for the local chapter of AIA. The Jaycee candidate has a pro-gressive record of achievements as a member of a young political group, but he feels the home rule Flower Show Stresses Design. Arrangements Second Annual Chrysanthem-um and Floral Arts Show to be held in Sugar House this Satur-day and Sunday, will feature ma-tt yexamples of the art of flower arrangement. These will include specimens of the classic Japanese 'art. from which many American arrangements have been adapted. The show will be held at Gran-ite Furniture Annex, Saturday, from 2 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. It is by the Mum Club, the Utah Garden Guild and the Sugar House Chamber of Commerce. Miss Gertrude Glauser, local in-structor in flower arrangements, pointed out that there are three things which have influenced Am-erican arrangements. There are, she said, the European style of usUg masses of color, the Japa-nesf- c style of using line, and the contemporary American designs in furniturfc, etc., which have been combined to create an American style of arrangements. Americans use many more ac-cessories, also, she said. Items such as figurines, rocks, beads and other objects are never used in the classic Japanese art, and they are not needed in the Euro-pean style. "The claasic Japanese arrange-ments," said Miss Glauser, "are created to suggest a philogophical or religious theme. For instance, there are two sides to everything. The front; of a leaf may be used to show an aggressive male force, while the back of the leaf would suggest a devotional, or female idea. Miss Glauser studied Japanese arrangements for several months in 1955. Highland Lions Hear Public Relations Expert Tom Bradshaw, of KSL - TV, spoke on public relations at a meeting of the Highland Lions Club Monday evening, October 14, according to president Bert R. Gelightly. Mr. Bradshaw recently return-ed from California, where he handled public relations for How-ard Hughes, the airplane and mo-vie magnate. Prospective members of the Highland group were feted at the meeting. i . Coast League Bali Pushed In Area . Consideration of a Salt Lake City baseball team as a member of the Pacific Coast League will be made at a meeting of League officials on or about November 1. This comes directly from Leslie O'Connor, president of the league, in a letter to Charles Romney, chairman of the Sugar House Chamber of Commerce, and with representatives of Salt Lake City and County. From these meet-ings will come precise informa-tion on size of the local ball park, how it can be enlarged to meet Pacific Coast Leagues standards, and availability of other facilities such as parking. It is believed that Derks Field could be built up to seat some 25,000 fans, and that parking could be arranged near the Park. A vice president of the Brooklyn-Lo- s Angeles Dodgers, J. E. Bav-as- i, indicated in a letter that as soon as the Los Angeles arrange-ments were completed, "serious "consideration" would be given to Salt Lake as a site for a farm team. It is hoped that there will be personal representation for Salt Lake at the November meeting i in San Francisco, j Letters and telegrams address- - ed to Mr. O'Connor in the Flood Building, San Francisco, would j strengthen the case for a Salt j 'Lake City ball club. Mr. Romney has encouraged civic clubs as well as individuals, to write. j i Sugar House Man Has Part in Cinerama Movie Don Hatch, Sugar House resi-dent, recently returned from New York City, where he attended the opening of "Search for Paradise," latest Cinerama movie. , The movie was filmed in Paki-stan by Lowell Thomas. Mr. Hatch, with his crew aad two rubber pontoon boats, appeared in the movie for a sequence lasting about 20 minutes. Mr. Hatch expects to go to Chi-cago about Christmastime,, to at-tend the opening of the mpvie in that city. The local river - running expert was in Pakistan for about two months during the summer of 1956. Scenes were shot of him shooting the rapids of the Indes River. Experience necessary for such skilled boat handling came to Mr. Hatch because of his work on the Colorado River. He grew up in Vernal, and worked closely with his father, Bus Hatch, who . took boatloads of sportstiien down the famed Colorado. Don himself now operates a fleet of 24 rubbeir boats on excur-sions down the treacherous river through the Dinosaur National Monument. The most popular trip takes four days to traverse 83 miles. Of course, these river trips are run in the summer only. In the winter, Mr. Hatch lives in Sugar House and teaches the fourth grade students at Hamilton School. He lives at 127B Drlggs Avenue.
