Speakings . , v Nf'CA GERMAN AND Spanish students line up with advisor ad-visor Estle Kidd and Ray Forsgren after a sue- cessful trip to BYU for language competitions. UH$ language siudenis compefe at stcafle level Foreign language students studying Spanish and German at Uintah High School competed at state competition at Brigham Young University April 10. There were 41 contestants participating par-ticipating on different levels of language skills with several hundred students from other schools in the state. "Uintah High students did extremely extreme-ly well," said Estel Kidd, Spanish instructor. Spanish students participated on several levels. Second and third year students presented a Peruvian drama based on the historical story, "La Camisa de Margarita." Students with parts in the drama won the top "superior" rating: Blaine Peterson, Marty Haley, Trace Mathis, Brad Richens, Kyle Hardinger, Marcelle VanderMarliere, and Karen VanderMarliere. Students who received "superior" ratings in dramatic poetry readings were Jill Wilson, Alisha Hacking, Lynette Bates and Michelle Bates. Those receiving a second place rating of "excellent" were Jenni Davidson, Patricia Chandler and Julie Walton. "The language bowl team did a great job," Mrs. Kidd said. They lost the round by only one point. Team members were Andrea Smith, Karl Slade, Valton Mortonsen, Stewart Jensen and Jason Taylor. German students competed in seven areas. Four students participated in the language bowl: Paul Kay, Cindy Anderson, Kim Wall and Jim Shirley. They lost the first round of competition by one point, and received a "good" rating. Two skits were presented. The first, "Gansebraten" was Diane Chamberlain, Fawn Kremin, Allen Foster, Kim Karren and Lloyd Richards. They received a "very good" rating. The second, "Winterkar-toffeln" "Winterkar-toffeln" by Nathan Hatch, Train Jorgensen, Lynn Winward, Troy Caldwell, Joe LeBeau, Eve Da vies and Greg Lieshman received a "very good" rating. Robert Drollinger participated in Show and Tell and received a "very good" rating. In the humorous stories category, "good." superior" Ed Stevenski received a DeLyn Bryant received a in sight reading. Suzanne Slaugh, Loretta Herrmann and DeLyn Bryant participated in the command contest. No rating was given. After competition students, both Spanish and German, attended a cultural experience where only their language was spoken. The Spanish students traveled to "Espanolandia" and the German students went to "Kleindeustchland. " Each student was issued a passport and were required to participate in everyday transactions for which they would receive a pass stamp. Six stamps were required before they could leave. Spanish students had dinner at a cultural restaurant, "Los Hermanos," and the German students attended a "Cultural Experience Banquet" at the Schonwald Terrace Restaurant in Or em. Advisors and instructors are Estel Kidd, Spanish and Ray Forsgren, German. Whiterocks Virginia Ferguson Phone 353-4584 Bernice Ainge has double celebration On April 6, Bernice Ainge was feted at a combination birthday party and 68th wedding anniversary for parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nile Ainge. In honor of the double celebration, a steak dinner was served plus birthday and anniversary anniver-sary cakes. There were 25 guests present. pre-sent. The following evening, the 7th of April, the bishopric honored Bernice Ainge and Myrtle Hansen, whose birthday bir-thday it was also, with a birthday dinner. din-ner. Sunday, April 8, Cherie Dickey and family hosted a birthday dinner for Bernice with lots of presents and food. Shirley and Bernice Ainge drove to Provo. Friends, Wendell and Neola Freston accompanied them. Rose Ferguson, on her 82nd birthday, birth-day, received a beautiful lavendar orchid or-chid corsage and was entertained at a birthday party by Rita Hartle. There were 12 guests present at the party and Rose received many cards and gifts. The Stewart Morrill family of Evanston, Wyoming, came for a one-day one-day visit with parents, Blayne and VaLois Morrill. Aaron and Myrtle Hansen drove to Salt Lake City to take their daughter, Ruth Ann, to visit some friends. The Hansens returned to Whiterocks that same evening. Bishop Blayne and VaLois Morrill drove to Paradox, Colorado last weekend to attend the bull sale. Sherry Kay Rasmussen was home for the Easter weekend, visiting relatives. John Dickey drove to Idaho last week on a 3-day business trip. Peggy and Wes Martin and son, Jaren, of Logan, made plans to fly to Whiterocks to visit parents Aaron and Myrtle Hansen. Wes is a private pilot and rented a plane at Salt Lake City. John and Jamie Hansen of Bountiful planned to make the trip with the Martins. Mar-tins. Due to inclement weather, Wes tried three times to fly over the mountains moun-tains which were shrouded in clouds, and finally on the third try, found a hole through which he flew and arrived arriv-ed in Whiterocks. However the weather reports grew increasingly more forbidding and the Martins and Hansens, after a 10-minute visit, again boarded their plane and returned to Salt Lake City. Reed Hansen and his roommate, Stan, drove from Salt Lake City to visit the Aaron Hansens for a two-day visit. The John Moosmans enjoyed a two-day two-day visit from Orem relatives, Steven and Caline Kitchen and six children. Sharon Arrowchis with her three children were Easter weekend visitors at the Frank Arrowchis home. Also visiting were LaRee and Ed Span and two children of Salt Lake City and Kendall and LeAnna, who attend BYU, who came home for spring break. Don and Ednal Simmons drove to Provo for a two-day visit with daughter, Karissa and children. There was a Whiterocks Community Communi-ty Easter egg hunt last Saturday morning. mor-ning. Ten families in the area volunteered to color eggs, each family fami-ly coloring 2 dozen. Prizes went to children who found the most eggs. Aaron and Myrtle Hansen drove to Provo last weekend. They returned home the same evening. Forested Land New research shows that forested land returns ten times the moisture to the atmosphere than deforested lands, says the National Wildlife Federation. Forested land is also said to produce 50 percent of the rain that falls on it. HOUSEHOLD CURRENT CAN BE DEADLY A lot of people who wouldn't go within 50 feet of a high-voltage power line fearlessly play around with 120-volt household current without giving giv-ing a thought to whether it is dangerous or not. It is, and it can give a deadly shock. Approximately 1,000 people are electrocuted elec-trocuted every year in the United States, and here is how some of them happen: A do-it-yourselfer using a defective electric drill in the basement is electrocuted elec-trocuted when he touches a metal laundry tub. A woman whose basement was flooded by heavy rains wades through the water to reach her freezer. She is electrocuted when she touches the lid of a shorted electric freezer. A child dies when he plugs one end of an iron cord into a wall socket and puts the other end in his mouth. Two children die when a radio falls into the bathtub where they are taking a bath. Actually, it is not the number of volts that causes shocks, but the amount of current (amperage) that enters the body, how long the shock lasts and the path which the current follows. Usually the current passes in a hand and out of a foot, which may not be too bad. The real danger lies when the current cur-rent passes in one arm, through the chest area and out the other arm. When this occurs, the current can paralyze the respiratory muscles, causing breathing to stop. Such paralysis may last even after the person is disconnected from the electrical source. Too, the current can strike the heart, causing fibrillation, resulting in instant electrocution. The heart goes into unsynchronized fluttering, flutter-ing, cutting off blood and oxygen circulation cir-culation to body cells, including the brain. Because of the way electricity works low voltages surprisingly can be more dangerous than high voltages. A heavier jolt can "clamp" the heart and prevent fibrillation. People have been known to recover from comparatively comparative-ly large jolts of electricity while a smaller amount, under certain conditions, condi-tions, can kill. You can avoid electrical shock by using good electrical equipment, and by using common sense when you are using electricity. UHS Spanish teacher to receive award Estel M. Kidd, a Spanish and English teacher at Uintah High School, was selected to receive the Meritorious Teaching Award in Arts and Letters. Mrs. Kidd will receive the award May 4 at the University of Utah at a special awards banquet. She has taught at the high school for 28 years. She has been the Spanish Club, Pep Club, Senior Class, Honor Society and exchange student advisor. Her travel and study abroad has enhanced her teaching. She has studied at the University of Ovideo in Spain, at the institute in Mexico City and short-term work with the Peace Corps in Pucara, Peru. She has also visited Guatemala, Panama, Columbia, Colum-bia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, the Yucatan Peninsula and England in relation to her teaching.

CHECK LISTINGS FOR EXACT TIME 1984CompulOfl Enninoarinn ravin vniir I ito FACTS FROM THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Making The Connection Among the elements of modern life that we take for granted are fasteners. Every household has its complement of extra screws, bolts and nuts as well as other types of fasteners fas-teners that are used to hold things together. There's a fascinating fascinat-ing story behind ordinary fasteners. We may wonder how a screw or bolt is designed and standardized; how the length, thread gauge and diameter are set. We are, however, unlikely to give a second thought to the enormous amount of engineering en-gineering that goes into these small objects that enable us to put things together. Thanks to the volunteer members of standards committees, com-mittees, organized by the American Society of Mechanical Mechani-cal Engineers (ASME), manufacturers man-ufacturers have specifications for materials, fit, safety, performance per-formance and dimensions. Although Al-though the standards are voluntary, vol-untary, they are used because to do so is good business. It makes mass production possible, pos-sible, lowers cost of research and development and speeds up manufacturing. Thus, these ASME standards stan-dards improve competition. At the end of the line, those standards add up to economy, confidence and safety for you, the consumer. For a free booklet, book-let, write to Codes and Stan-durdsDopt.
