Last Wednesday, the fifth grade of the Taylor school made a visit to the Payson City Hospital laboratory as an extension of their study of the body and its systems. Mr. Jerry Jensen, technician, welcomed the students and presented an interesting question and answer session before going The importance of to the laboratory. language as a tool was stressed. Mr. Jensen encouraged all students to learn the basics of the occupation or profession they would someday be a part of. The students asked several questions of What is required of the Mr. Jensen. worker? Also, What kind of laboratory work do you do? Mr. Jensen then took the students to the laboratory where the different pieces of equipment and chemicals were shown. Mr. Jensen explained to the students the reason for the high cost of hospital care. The picture shows Mr. Jensen explaining the equipment used in the laboratory to perform various tests.

The students listed over twenty questions for discussion at F riday s session. Middle School Events What a joy it is to have students come to the school library as a reward or special privilege for work well done in the classroom, rather than for a punishment for misbehaving or being unprepared! Mr. Ronald Stewart, who teaches math to a group of sixth graders, motivates his students to excel and complete their work satisfactorily, by giving them the privilege of enjoying the library and its materials when their assignment is finished. Many times these math students find the library filled to capacity with science, social study or other groups, but they come quietly and find a comfortable place to relax and enjoy themselves. The number of privileged students increased from day to day so this reward has certainly proven to be a wise and effective motivation. Needless to say, many of the magazines are badly worn by the end of the month, not from carelessness or abuse, but from good, enjoyable reading and browsing. Some favorites with the boys are Hot Rod, Field and Stream, Western Horseman, Outdoor Life, Sport, Boys Life, Natural History, Science and of course National Geographic magazine. Boy Scout Merit Badge pamphlets are also very interesting and popular. What have we heard over and over again about the positive approach to students and their learning patterns? We are thoroughly convinced that the library or media center, in a school, should be used as a positive approach to learning and enjoyment! A unique class has been developed at Payson Middle School for an eighth period subject. Eighth period was developed at Payson Middle School to give students a chance to choose a class not normally offered in the regular curriculum. Horse science is not part of the regular curriculum but has been accepted very well as an eighth period subject. Horse science combines regular class-wor- k, laboratory experiences, and field trips to provide learning experience for its participants. A general overview of horse technology is used for the format of the class. History of the horse, breeds of horses, tack, gaits, shoeing, riding and training are just a few of the subject areas discussed. Each student is encouraged to construct a journal of their classwork for later reference. Many of the students of this course are in the H horse club in the community. They find the course information very useful in working with their horse projects. It is interesting to note that horses make up the fastest grow-- L clubs across the g project in the H with country. The number of horses has jumped from 37,531 in 1959 Lo more than 230,000 today and the number ta still climbing. Texts for the course are mostly horse magazines and other related publications which the students and teacher have been able to find. Many of the students have written to horse breed associations for pictures and literature which they have added to their journals. The students of the present class purchased two books which they donated to the school library. They hope that succeeding classes will do the same in order to build that area of library materials. 4-- THE PAYSON CHRONICLE 10 Thursday, November 19, 1970 6 4 o The Fifth Grade at the Taylor School visited the laboratory at the Payson Hospital.

Bingham, Tooele, formerly of Payson, a tool, machine and gage maker in the Ammunition Equipment Office, Tooele Army Depot, has been selected as TADs Handicapped Employee of the Year and nominated as the depots candidate for national recognition. Mr. Bingham, son of Joe Bingham of Payson, was stricken with polio while an infant and the disease was so severe that he had to have his right leg amputated and major surgery performed on his left foot. In addition there is a general lack of muscular development on the right side of his body. In spite of these severe handicaps Mr. Bingham was graduated from Payson High School and the two years of college education required for the machinist trade. He did this over the advice of his high school advisors and State Rehabitation personnel who had counseled him against pursuing this trade. Before going to work for Civil Service he worked as a machinist, lathe operator and sheet metal worker for both the Ogden Iron Works and the U.S. Plant. He started to work at TAD in 1951 as a lathe operator and has progressed to his present position, a highly skilled position which requires the ability to design, develop, manufacture and shop test prototype and pilot models of ammunition tools, machines and gages used in the ammunition activities. He is consistantly given assignments that require the highest technical level of work performed in his division. No Steel-Gene- va 6:23 "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift. H Cor. 9:15. I adaptation has been necessary for him to perform his machinist duties in connection with his disability. A high stool has been provided for him to use if necessary, but it is seldom used and. he requests no special privileges. He drives a car equipped with automatic shift and controls the gas and brake pedals with his left foot. He is an avid sportsman, participating in fishing, boating and hunting. His hunting includes deer, pheasant and duck which all require considerable walking. His only concession to his disability is the use of two canes equipped with large plates on the bottom to aid him through the mud and marshes when duck hunting. His friendly, cheerful disposition has a stimulating effect on those working with him and contributes to the excellent morale evident in his shop. Mr. Bingham is an excellent example that ability, nor disability, is what really counts. P 0 Bo 190 280 North Main Spanish Pork.
