TALKING ON KEEPING Utahs fine, upcoming youngsters in Utah universities, Berta says, I think the mothers of youngsters in the Alpine Training School should form a booster group, go out and collect donations, offer the top skiers scholarships and let them attend school at home. (The Alpine Training School is a collection of some of Salt Lakes top junior skiers under technical direction of Marv Melville, former Olympian. In its two years of operation the training school has won more than its share of trophies, thanks to training and conditioning the youngsters gain.)
