Computer technology will be part of most of the jobs our children will have and also a part of their everyday living as well. Computers and their use must be included in our children's education today. Many computer companies have expressed a desire to display at the conference. Software and computers will be available for parents and educators to become familar with. A hands-on section will be scheduled as one of the workshops.

The second conference January 14 in BYU Wilkinson Center will discuss TV Critical Viewing Skills. Children in the U.S. who grow up with television as a companion are seeing a different set of human values. There is substantial reason to believe that our moral and family values could be improved by learning lear-ning TV viewing skills. Utah PTA feels that TV is here to stay and its impact upon our children and families must be taken seriously. TV has become a habit with a large segment of our population and it does have an effect on the viewer. For this reason Utah State PTA has identified television viewing as a critical issue. apple pie tJD'EdQCDg GO. 489-6429 O OFF "it 'I ' f a H imi t&fi . i J i 1 at 1 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 17. Frank East meets Taiwanese . Melia, daughter of Leon and Janet Woodfield, grew up in Springville, graduating from Springville High School. Miss Woodfield, a technician in Utah Valley Hospital's ECG-EEG department, studied with the leading Taiwanese acupuncturist as part of a Brigham Young University study abroad program. Acupuncture is used commonly in place of anesthesia . and Oriental doctors claim they can use it even in major operations, according to Miss Woodfield. Eastern medicine has used acupuncture in this way for almost 2,000 years. "Everyone has his own acupuncturist acupunc-turist in these countries," Miss Woodfield stated. "It's like having a private physician." Dr. Wu attended medical school for eight years before becoming an apprentice to an acupuncturist for another three years. He studied and practiced on his own for another 30 years before he was considered a specialist in his field. . Miss Woodfield and her fellow students were only allowed to observe ob-serve the art of acupuncture. "You have to have a lot of training before they will let you practice it," she pointed out, adding that in the far east acupuncture is considered a medical form of art. A pre-med student, Miss Wood-field Wood-field said she did not think' acupuncture would become common in the United States. "Being westernized," she maintained, "I cannot see myself using it, but my visit has given me more respect for it." As a country, Taiwan still is very rich in old traditions, but is more modernized in its medical practices than China. "In Taiwan," said Miss Woodfield, "there is a combination of eastern and western medicine. Most of the people there want to be examined by a western doctor. China, on the other hand, is very backward. One ICU unit I visited was a little room with screens on the windows. They do, however, claim a good rate of recovery." Great emphasis is placed on a high standard of health for the people. Miss Woodfield observed that the people were very clean personally, Loren Phillips attends confab Loren J. Phillips, Vocational Agriculture teacher in the Springville High School at Springville, Utah joined more than 500 ag educators attending the American Vocational Association (AVA) Convention in St. Louis December 3-7. Nearly 8,000 vocational educators attended the 1,000 plus sessions keyed to the theme, "Vocational Education. ..An Investment in People." The 34th annual National Vocational Agricultural Teachers' Association (NVATA) Convention ran concurrently with the AVA Convention. The NVATA, an affiliate af-filiate of the AVA Ag Education Division, conducted a series of programs designed to meet the specialized needs of secondary, postsecondary and adult instructors. Several members of Congress were present to provide insights on the direction of federal policy for, Vocational Education. The total program included general sessions, meetings, business sessions, special award and recognition programs, and sponsored spon-sored meal functions. Phillips, currently serving as the president elect of the Utah Vocational Agricultural Teachers Association, also served as secretary-treasurer during the convention. The NVATA is a national professional organization for vocational educators in agriculture. More than 9,000 agricultural educators throughout the United States are members. Layton G. Peters, Instructor of the Adult Farm Management Program in the New Ulm High School, New Ulm, Minnesota, Min-nesota, is the National President. Sam Stenzel, Alexandria, Virginia, is the Executive Director. I in Schetselaar directs the group. West in medicine despite the dirty appearance of the buildings and streets. Before her trip, Miss Woodfield studied some Chinese and acquainted herself with eastern customs. Both countries are extremely ex-tremely family oriented and are big on cultural events filled with tradition. Buddhism is the main religion in the countries and small shrines adorn houses and streets alike. Each neighborhood has a local shrine that contains idols of the patron gods for the area. Worship is done freely and constitutes a major portion of the Oriental lifestyle. Because the family is such a positive influence, evenings are spent in front of open stores visiting with family, friends and neighbors. Every household has a television set and the favorite show, according to Miss Woodfield, seems to be "Three's Company." Miss Woodfield pointed out that China is more backward than Taiwan in the entertainment industry in-dustry also. A Taiwanese youth is more likely to be seen attending a movie theater than a Chinese youth, but both nationalities love holidays and have elaborate festivals with preparations going on for weeks in advance. Miss Woodfield noted that in some areas, she and her American companions , were the firsjwhite people the Orientals had ever seen and the people were especially fascinated by her red hair. On several occasions she would turn to find an Oriental touching her burnished bur-nished locks in amazement. The Orientals also found their foreign visitors attractive because the Americans have eyelids. In Taiwan, Miss Woodfield said, the women would meticulously apply eye makeup to make themselves look as though they too had "eyelids." Move vehicles from streets Springville residents have been finding a lot of parking violation, (red tags or 72 hour violation) notices on vehicles interfering with snow removal while parked on public streets. Police red tagged more than 60 illegally parked vehicles in the past week alone. Citizens with trailers, campers, boats, or any other vehicle parked on city streets should move them for the winter, police say. The parked vehicles make it almost impossible to clean the snow off the streets said Carl Curtis, superintendent of streets and walks. Offenders are given 72 hours to move the illegally parked vehicles before they are towed away to a public garage and stored at the owner's expense. Numerous "fender-benders" have also kept police hopping since the heavy snow fall. Minor traffic accidents, ac-cidents, including some hit and run offenses, have mostly been attributed at-tributed to slick roads and driving too fast. Police cited a 15-year-old unlicensed male for speeding, then released him to the custody of his parents. Thefts Miscellaneous thefts included two gas skips, theft of Christmas lights from a home, theft of a black Labrador dog valued at $100, and even a Christmas tree. Doug Nielsen told police someone stole the convertible top to his sports car. Valuation was set at $300. Doug Atwood reported the the'ft of a motor from a winch. Miscellaneous tools and household goods valued at $448 were reported to be missing from the Shirley Turpin home. An attempted burglary at Piece Goods caused $200 in damages when the would-be burglar kicked in the door. Nothing was reported missing. Holiday Hazards The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that each year 3,500 individuals will be treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries associated with holiday decorations. if r ' ' v. i v,-j v t Ever see a white elephant? It took Kim Woodhouse, 560 N. 200 E., about four hours to make this one. Kim is adept at snow sculpture and plans to make a mountain lion next if the snow keeps cooperating. She has also made a turtle. l3 Several letters to Santa Claus have been re-routed to The Springville Herald on their way to the North Pole.
