MARCH 1, 1979 Experience With BYU Mill Cows Ten ' Brigham Young students are University learning to milk cows for all its worth under a program that lets them work with the Universitys dairy herd and share the profits. THE PROGRAM is to give them hands-o- n experience in dairying, but they also leam that theres a return for their efforts, says Dr. Robert W.

The students handle the routine milking and preparation for 40 BYU cows. They also see that the cows are bred when ready and care for calves that are born. They leam to vaccinate and dehorn calves, tattoo identifying numbers in their ears, castrate bull calves and remove the extra teats with which some cow calves are born.

Some 70 educators from throughout the state visited the school to evaluate programs, make recommendations and commendations on more than 20 different phases. It went really well," Mrs. Lowe said. At our opening breakfast we had over 200 including PTA people, three members of the Board of Education (Lucile Reading, Theo Italisano and Jay Stevens), Gayle Stevenson from the school district as well as others from within the left, from the State Board of Education and Dr. Grossen from Brigham Young University. district who came to Earl L. turns.

Scott, chiropractic physician of Layton, was asked to speak to the grade nine class to explain chiropractic and its function in the community. DR. SCOTT presented a very informative slide program, beginning with a brief history of chiropractic, g the largest health profession in the world. The educational status of a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic was explained: Two years of basic sciences required for entrance to the now non-dru- professional college; four years (4,485 hours) spent in the chiropractic college, thus giving him a full six years of education, required for licensure in ail 50 states. It was noted that a Doctor of Chiropractic receives education comparable to medical doctors, and in some courses i.e. anatomy, physiology and diagnosis, the chiropractor actually has a few more hours. DR. SCOTT then briefly explained the inter-relationsh- between the spine, the nervous system and many of the glands of the body and effect as related to body malfunctions. The common term back being out or bone out cf place was explained as a subluxation (fixation within the normal range of motion) or misalignment of the vertebrae causing nerve irritation. Slides demonstrating subluxation and pathology of were shown the spine on to demonstrate the detailed analysis performed bv Day the chiropractor. It was mentioned that many common ailments such as headaches, nervousness, numbness and tingling of arms or hands can be effectively treated by a chiropractor. BACK AND leg pain comreferred to as a monly slipped disc or sciatica respond well to chiropractic. Because of the intensive anatomy, training .in pathology and diagnosis received by the chiropractor, he is able to recognize problems beyond his scope of practice, thus allowing him to intelligently refer those requiring medical treatment. Dr. Scott encouraged those students inclined towards the healing arts, to consider chiropractic for their future profession, as it is an extremely rewarding profession. He encouraged those present to consider seeking the services of a chiropractor ,for relief of the many aliments that they may experience. DR. SCOTT emphasized that chiropractic is a natural, drugless, highly effective method of treatment for many of the conditions causing pain and suffering of mankind. - FARMINGTON Upcoming Utah State University Extension seminars include: MARCH Workshop 1 Control -forWeedfarmers.

Students involved in the program say it offers valuable experience they could not share-the-profi- ts get elsewhere. a COLLEEN McGhie, senior majoring in animal science, says the program has taught her that she can work with cows, though she still prefers sheep, with which she has had prior experience. The student dairy program has also brought her rewards in the form of character development. It means disciplining yourself. A farmer is going to have to get up at all hours of the night and morning to attend to the animals needs, she explains. AND SHE is a valuable means of teaching. Experience can teach you a lot more than just sitting and reading a book. Paul Burch, a senior who hopes to be admitted to veterinary school, said the training" offered by the student dairy program helps the students leam to be managers. They know the cows are their responsibility. OF COURSE, he notes, the money students earn is a welcome bit of aid to their schooling. But he says those in the program also take pride in their own work and the accomplishment they can show at the end of the year.

And that is what Henri set out to do throughout his life, now spanning some 74 years. He has been active in the Lions Club, old South Davis Chamber of Commerce, the Val Verda Water Cooperative, South Davis Library Board, in addition to his former planning commission duties. WHENEVER 1 was asked to serve 1 said that I have an obligation to do what I can, he says. "This country has been real good to me. As is typical with most service activities, monetary gain is hardly a drawing card. In fact, there was no compensation at all at the planning commission for the first six to eight years and then it amounted to about $5 a month for gas, Henri recalls. THERE WAS never any ill feeling among the members that I can remember, he says. Each of us had our own opinion. But of his responsibility to the group he recalls, I suppose the main thing I felt was that we put different things in their proper place. Wed try not to put too many houses next to a business, for instance. We next to might put it and then houses. And through his time on the commission, the countys population doubled from about 65,000 to nearly 130,000. At all times, Henri says he tried to be fair. I had been sticking up mostly for Val Verda because 1 know that best. four-plex- HE AND his wife, the former Irene Sudweeks of Kingston, Piute County, built a home there in the early 1940s and have lived there ever since, raising two children and often playing guests to them and six grandchildren. But Henri didnt find his mate until he was nearly 30, and a lot happened before that time. When very small, his father died, and he and his sister were raised by his mother. THEY LIVED in the top of a five story apartment house in attic-lik- e quarters and to make ends meet took every kind of job. "My earliest recollection is where wed get a couple of buckets of boullion, fold those in paper and lick them shut. We got so many cents for that." "We were very poor and I remember a time we had some rye bread but no margarine, Henri says. The bread was quite hard and we had some mustard to put on it and a little water. WHILE HE had to work hard, Henri excelled in his school work. Attendance was compulsory then as now. He usually placed first or second in his class and knew that to succeed hed have to excel. 'There wasnt an awful lot of time to play," he recalls. "I never learned to swim and only went swimming twice, (in Denmark)." TURNING point in his life 14 when he joined the Mormon Church. Everyone A came at UPON COMING to this country in 1926, at the age of 22, he went directly to. Salt Lake City, staying with Ed- ward Sorensen, a former missionary to Copenhagen now serving in the Salt Lake LDS Temple presidency and close friend. Times were hard, at first, for Henri, who left his mother and sister behind. Renting an apartment from a Danish lady, he would spend his time working during the day and studying at night. I studied material from the International Accounting Society and took classes at the University of Utah." FROM ALMOST his work at Utah Power and Light, earning $37.50 a month, of which I $5 was sent to his mother. lived on 20 cents a day. I would have a glass of. water for breakfast and buy a pound f of plums and eat pound for lunch. Id buy a 15 cent hamburger as late in the day as I could. In 1932 he obtained his ci- arrival, he started one-hal- tizenship papers, something he says with very evident pride. That is something I really treasure. FROM 1926 until he retired, Henri was at employed UP&L, starting as a delivery man for light globes formerly sold by the company along with appliances. He then moved into the office, where he stayed, ending his career as a corporate accountant. He met his wife while attending the Salt Lake 18th Ward and they were married on her birthday, Aug. 17, 1934, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. She had worked as a nurse and continued that for about a year after their marriage. WHEN THEY built their house in 1940, there were only about eight to ten houses in the area and nothing between there and Highway 89. Henri always has loved to sing, and until a few years ago sang in his LDS ward choir. In Denmark, the small LDS branch had a huge choir, and people would come from all over to hear it. He sang in many barbershop quartets and even was numbered in the Tabernacle Choir for a short time. THE FREDERIKSENS can be proud of their home, both inside and out, and Henri has always enjoyed keeping the yard beautiful. Parties galore have been held there over the years. The attraction probably was a combination between the Frederiksens themselves and their beautiful home. Henri has been asked to serve as a master of ceremonies many times in addition to his other responsibilities. HE WAS Who in the listed in "Whos West" in 1963-6and in the Directory of International Biography." In addition to enjoying his family, home and yardwork, Henri enjoys doing Danish genealogy work and looks forward to having his son, Richard, and wife and grandchildren over for hamburgers each Saturday. His daughter Susan lives with her husband and family in St. George but visits frequently, 4 he says. A WORD A modern OF CAUTION country is one which bans fireworks and produces nuclear bombs.
