For though the counties have been scratching tooth and nail to get new industry, the sum total of all their present industry could be absorbed by the Wasatch Front with scarcely a ripple. By any reckoning, however, things are looking better. In 1960 a former North Dakotan Harry Mosher. and three employes' began manufacturing travel trailers in an old cannery building near Ephraim.

Oddly, some young men have come to Sanpete County and rot left it.

But admittedly only very special circumstances support them. Among them: Gill Hibben, 32-year-old manfacturer of "Adventure in Your Hand" custom knives. With a shop in the basement of a former hatchery house, Mr. Hibben and four employes produce $85,000 a year in custom-built knives costing anywhere from $18 to $185 each. Moves to Cut Costs Mr.

Though shoppers still are decidedly price conscious and responsive to specials, they are less likely today to resort to boycott, many retailers believe. Only five per cent of grocers polled by Progressive Grocer magazine thought the shopper's mood reflects one of a boycotter. In the survey, 69 per cent of grocers felt the consumer's mood was one of price-savings on foods. In the Progressive Grocer survey, 49 per cent believe shoppers this year would be upgrading purchases and have more interest in new items.

With price competition severe among chains last year, indications are that profits after taxes on the average might have dipped to the lowest level since 1963. turing plants and is building a Ephraim.

By Thomas E. Mullaney New York Times Writer NEW YORK The Western world was reminded again last week rather of the precarious nomic situation in other nations by a persistent raid on gold in Europe's markets buyers speculating on an eventual rise in price from the long fixed level of $35 an ounce. These currency doubters lack confidence in the ability and the will of Britain and the United States to adopt the measures necessary to bolster their economic positions meaningful fiscal restraint and a correction of adverse international payments. For the last two weeks the world's "gold bugs" again applied severe pressure on the British pound, the U.S. dollar and other major currencies.

This was the third series of speculative rushes for gold since Britain's devaluation of sterling last Nov. 18 Since Feb. 29, 300 million dollars of gold has been taken from world reserves by activities of the speculators and hoarders, virtually matching the last run just before Christmas. More than half of the estimated gold purchases in the latest period occurred on Friday as an air of expectancy built up in Europe with the approach of the monthly meeting of central bankers in Basel, Switzerland, this weekend. Two dramatic events focused attention on the meeting.

The ILS. announced the drawing of 200 million dollars in foreign currencies from the International Monetary Fund to help support the dollar. And Canada arranged a drawing of 500 million dol- lars from the U.S. Export-Import Bank, plus 400 million dollars from European central banks, to beat back speculation against Canadian currency. The recurrence of gold-buying sprees underscores the urgent need for broad new economic policies on both sides of the Atlantic and for a significant reform of'the International Monetary System.

This would entail prompt approval, by 100 nations, of the plan given preliminary sanction last September in Rio de Janeiro at the annual meeting of the IMF. That imaginative concept calls for the creation of a supplementary reserve unit known as special drawing rights in the IMF to finance expanding world trade.
