Local residents are enthusiastic with the prospects of a new regional shopping center that will be constructed on the northeast corner of 3500 South 4000 West. The selection of this site by the Salt Lake County Planning Commission was not only the popular choice of the people of the Granger-Hunter area but was also hailed by the Kearns and Magna populas as centrally desirable for all communities on the southwest side of the valley. It was obviously the most favorable of any proposed location because of the many direct streets making it easily access-able for all area inhabitants.

The selection of the 3500 South 4000 West site by the Planning Commission was not only a sound but a wise decision. Alternate locations were presented to the commission for consideration and study by separate promotional groups. All such groups had a chance to present their case in formal hearings. Nothing was done in secret. After listening to weeks of testimony and after carefully evaluating all the facts it be HEARING JULY 8 HEARING JULY 9 All meetings will be or Whittier School cussed will be heard at the various meetings.

Ralph McClure, head of the department of zoning administration, will explain the proposed zoning and a member of the local committee will conduct all meetings. The first meeting will be held Thursday night, July 2nd at the Whittier School in Hunter. Residents in the area bounded by 3100 South to the Utah Salt Lake Canal and 5600 West tol 7200 South are invited to at-1 tend.

They will shortly conduct a raffle on a beautiful new portable TV for which they will ask a donation of $1.00. The public is asked to give their support to the Jaycees. In addition to the rebuilding of the float to represent the community of Kearns, Kearns Jaycees will use many funds they receive in community development projects. The drawing will be Saturday, July 25, at 2 p.m. in front of Zions Bank, Kearns, according to Jaycee President Jerry Kalm.

In other money-making endeavors, the Jaycees and wives are selling tickets at the Parade of Homes for the Utah Home Builders Association. Also to help the cause, the Jaycee-ettes helped take inventory at Thrift City on June 28 until the wee hours of the morning.

Never has such a significant zoning issue been so unanimously supported by local residents. All civic and service clubs interested in the proper planning of the west area endorsed the selected location. A special citizens advisory committee appointed by the Salt Lake County Commission studied the proposal sites for a regional shopping center and recommended the one finally selected. In view of such careful study and the unanimous support on the part of local residents in favor of the approved site it seems ironic that a few Salt Lake City residents who had speculative interests are casting asperions and crying for another public hearing.

We commend the County Planning Commission on their stand and we feel confident that local residents will appreciate the great contribution their commissions decision has made to a well planned community. Senator Vernon L. Holman of Panguitch received 19 cf 24 votes in a race with State Rep resentative George R. Aiken of Kanab. He missed by one vote the necessary 80 percent margin needed to avoid a runoff.

One of the most discussed con- tests at the convention was the candidacy for National Commit- teewoman. Miss Lucy Redd, the incumbent holder of the office, defeated two who challenged her. Miss Redd was re-elected by a solid margin. The vote was: Miss Redd, 636; Mrs. Jean Miles Rulon Jenkins, chairman of the Granger-Hunter zoning committee, announced dates for public hearings on the proposed zoning of the Granger-Hunter area.

Mr. Jenkins stated These meetings will be held for the purpose of explaining to the residents of the Granger-Hunter proposed zoning and to give the residents a chance to express their opinion on it. To give more people a chance to speak on the proposals six meetings will be held in various areas of Granger-Hunter.

Dean 603. The two candidates will now compete in the primary election August 11. Many of the Democrats on the slate were unopposed but that did not dampen the enthusiasm of nearly 1500 delegates and another 3000 partisan supporters who attended the convention at the Terrace Ballroom in Salt Lake City. Throughout the speeches of the candidates, their nominators and seconders ran a constant theme The Democratic party is resurgent in Utah and will win the offices they seek in November. The years of Republican leadership where castigated as having stagnated progress in Utah and make it a weak state, without the courage of imagination that once made it famous in the nation.

The convention was described by many commentators in newspapers. television and radio as demonstrating that the bloodstream of the Democratic party was running with renewed vigor.
