It was a gala affair, despite the chilly weather, which came as a disappointment after a couple of weeks of nice weather. The hunt was staged at Beaver City Park, and it literally swarmed with tho kiddies who seemed not to mind too much the chill air which kept proud and interested parents close to their cars and other protected spots. Winners of $23 Savings Bonds were Susan Ashworth, in the 9- - to group, and Keith Gil-linin the 5- - to group. Brent Stapley was winner of the large tricycle, which was the top prize in the 1- - to group. Plans for the event were made and carried out by Beaver American Legion Auxiliary members and they did a swell job. But their work didn't end there. A nicely typewritten record of every prize and its winner is in process of being compiled by these good women and it is the intention of The Press to publish next week the names of all prize winners and there are scores and scores of them! ar e, ar signal for "green thumb" claimants to get out and dust off the garden tools.

Heart Surgery Helps Many Children Thanks to rapid advances in the relatively young field of heart surgery, about four out of five children born with heart defects now can be helped by various operations, according to a new booklet distributed by the Utah Heart Association, an affiliate of the American Heart Association, which has published the booklet. "It is becoming clear," the booklet for parents states, "that many congenital heart defects are neither as rare nor as hopeless as they were once thought to be." It is not yet possible to gather accurate statistics on how many children have these inborn heart disorders since many thousands of cases have gone undetected, the booklet points out. As new techniques of diagnosis and surgery develop, new cases are appearing constantly at cardiac centers. 0 "Today it is estimated that to 40,000 children are born in this country with congenital (inborn) heart defects each year, and that about 75 to 80 of them can be helped by surgery," the booklet says. 30,-00- The booklet, entitled, "If Your Child Has a Congenital Heart Defect," is intended principally for parents of children born with heart defects that may be completely or partly corrected by surgery. It also may be of special interest to physicians and other professional personnel who work with the patient and his family, including nurses, social workers and psychologists. The booklet may be obtained from the Utah Heart Association at 250 East First South, Salt Lake City 11, Utah. 48-pa- The booklet provides information about some of the more common defects which are operable. It seeks to aid parents in dealing with problems involved in meeting the costs of diagnosis and surgical treatment; choosing a hospital, clinic, or heart center; obtaining blood donations; preparing the child psychologically for the hospital stay and surgery; and convalescing and making the transition to normal living. "Most diagnosis and surgery can be done in the child's home state or in a nearby state, and it is seldom necessary to go to distant the Heart Association booklet says. Two major sources of help in obtaining medical and surgical care for congenital heart defects are explained. These are the State Crippled Children's Program and the State Rehabilitation Program, both partially supported by federal funds. "Local Heart Associations can put parents in touch with agencies which may give financial aid," the booklet notes, "as well as agencies which give a variety of other services to heart patients." Surgical techniques to correct major heart defects were developed only a little over 20 years ago, the Heart Association notes. "If your child was born with a heart defect, he has a better chance today than ever before to overcome this handicap and look forward to normal adult life," the booklet states. It is now possible "to operate with considerable success on conditions once thought to be hopeless." cen-crs- "Scientists are constantly seek- ," Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in Beaver Second LDS ward chapel for Ray Elijah Orton, 47, who died Saturday afternoon at his home in Beaver of complications following influenza. The services were conducted by Bishop Chase Murdock, with prayer at the mortuary offered by George Smith. The invocation was offered by J. Albert Muir and the benediction by Rex Packard. Prelude and postlude music was by Mrs. Clara Carter and other musical numbers included a quartet selection, "Sometime We'll Understand," by Hal Lund, Kent Hansen, Sherman Carter, and Kenneth Williams, accompanied by Mrs. Carter; and a vocal duet by Milo and Naomi Baker, also accompanied by Mrs. Carter. Former Stake President S. Taylor Farnsworth was the speaker and he offered consoling remarks to members of the bereaved family. Burial took place in Mountain View cemetery, where the grave was dedicated by Leon Swindle-hur- st and military rites were accorded the deceased comrade by members of the local post of The American Legion. Pallbearers were Boyd Puffer, George Valentine, Arthur Fother-inghaDouglas Hutchings, Ralph Bohn, and Acle Gillies of The American Legion. The floral offerings were cared for by members of the Second Ward Relief Society. people attending the services included Mrs. Silas Orton, Parowan; Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Muir, Fillmore; Mrs. Irene Orton Mead, Salt Lake City; and Mrs. Sarah Bettridge and Mrs. Edwards.

Hoyt. The prison sentence was suspended after investigation by the State Probation Department, contingent upon continued good be- havior and regular reports to the court. Wulfenstein was charged with burglary of mine equipment at the mining property in Newhouse by Norman Rogers. He pleaded guilty on March 8, and a plea for probation was entered by his attorney, Harold Cline. Judge Hoyt took the matter under advisement pending investigation by the probation department.
