Show Holiday Rambler looks over Vernal area Wednotdoy, Moy 14, 1986 Vtrftil bfittt 3 The executive director of Holiday Rambler Corp., Dr. Edmond E. Bowling, Bowl-ing, was in Vernal last week looking qver the area for recreation vehicle rally sites. Dr. Bow ling was invited to Vernal by Mrs. Lin McDonald to check out the potential of the area as a scenic attraction attrac-tion area to base a RV rally for several days. After touring the area for a day, Dr. ' Bowling met with a group of local citizens. At the dinner meeting Thursday Thurs-day evening, Dr. Bowling said he would like to bring a 100-unit RV rally to Vernal next year. Dr. Bowling said, "RV travel is the way to go places and see the national beauties. We are looking for new places to go, we have been about everywhere, but you have something here we want to see." Holiday Rambler is a group of about 30,000 people who go on annual travel tours in organized groups. The groups can range from small groups of under 100 to large groups of over 1800 units. Members of the Holiday Rambler . rallys spend about $150 a day per person. per-son. Most are from a comfortable income in-come group that have money and spend it while on their trips, Dr. Bowling Bowl-ing pointed out. "When a rally comes to town it is like a big convention. The people like community entertainment and want to take part in community activities. They are not looking for bargains, but just a chance to be part of communi- r( fill ,1 i ' : V 1 t n On The Job Facts & Figures From Vernal Job Service Dr. Edmond Bowling ty life for several days." Dr. Bowling said the north Steinaker Draw area was a beautiful setting for a RV facility. The property should be obtained and developed. After the first successful RV rally many others will follow. "We don't like to have to invent the wheel every time we travel. When we find a nice place we keep coming back year after year because we have different people every year," Dr. Bowling stated. Dr. Bowling said he was impressed with the area and its people. Rallys are popular and with the right accommodations accom-modations other RV rally groups would likely follow and we would come back year after year. Poppy Day coming next Saturday Every year on the Saturday before Memorial Day, millions of Americans wear little red poppies on their coats. Women of the American Legion Auxiliary Aux-iliary and other women's organizations organiza-tions are on the streets all day with baskets of poppies pinning the little red flowers on passersby. Most everyone knows that the poppies pop-pies are worn in memory of the men who lost their lives in the four wars, but most people do not know how the poppy came to be the nation's memorial flower. On a map of Europe, a wavy line drawn from the Swiss border through France and Belgium to the North Sea might represent a double line of trenches, tren-ches, with vast armies on both sides of it locked in a four-year battle. That is the way Europe looked from 1914 to the fall of 1918. For miles this line waved first one way then the other as contending armies ar-mies pushed forward or were driven back. For miles on both sides the ground was trampled by heavy shoes of millions of soldiers. It was devastated by shells of thousands of cannons. In this area of death and destruction, hundreds of thousands of American boys advanced in 1917 and 1918, determined to end the horrible war. As the American soldiers struggled forward through the war-ravaged area, they saw only one touch of life and beauty in all that region. This was the little wild poppies blooming bravely brave-ly right along the edges of the trenches and ragged shell holes. Thousands of young men have made and are still making the supreme 4 (Jf 7' i t s -. f-t J - I, - J II I , J I s it h-- J , ! FOOTINGS ARE in on a new bridge crossing County.

This same little scarlet poppy, now as then, covers the earth where our young Americans lie. The poppy has become the symbol of the dead their memorial flower. Saturday, May 17 will be Poppy Day, when the red crepe paper poppy will be offered to the public by the Jensen American Legion Auxiliary Unit 124. Contributions made on Poppy Day are used by the local unit to aid needy veterans and their families in the community com-munity and in hospitals throughout the state. All proceeds are channeled directly into rehabilitation and welfare work for children and youth. Everyone is encouraged to pause for a moment, pin on a poppy and wear it with pride. It will be your way of saying say-ing "thanks" and "I do remember" to those who gave so much for their country's coun-try's behalf. Retraining offered by JTPA Are you in need of training or retraining? If so, the JTPA (Job Training Partnership Act) program may be able to provide some assistance to you. JTPA is a federally federal-ly funded program to aid those who meet certain qualifications to obtain skill training. Through this program, funds are available for On-The-Job training and classroom training. The OJT program helps people obtain some hands-on training at a job site. If an employer is willing to hire a JTPA certified participant par-ticipant and pay him a normal starting salary, the JTPA program can reimburse reim-burse up to 50 percent of the training costs incurred during a preauthorized training period. This way an employer can train someone without a substantial substan-tial burden to his budget. At the completion com-pletion of the training period, the employer has a trained employee who can be productive. The JPTA program also has funding to provide for vocational classroom training. Most of the classroom training train-ing Is short-term-usually one year or less. The Uintah Basin Area Vocational Voca-tional Center offers a wide variety of classes which con be sponsored by live JTPA program. Again, the person would have to be JTPA certified In ordT to participate through the JTPA program.
