Roger Barnes Storage sheds burglarized Following the break-in of eight storage sheds at 1700 South Main Street sometime last week, Springville Police Detective Norm Cole is asking people who use storage sheds to check the contents periodically. An estimated $1900 worth of various appliances, household goods, and personal items were stolen in the burglary. The lock on the door to one of the sheds was cut, then the burglar or burglars systematically cut through the inside walls, gaining access to the remaining sheds, Detective Cole said. Cole said that some people do not check the contents of their storage sheds and therefore do not become aware of anything out of order until long after it has happened. In this particular case, the burglar replaced the broken locks, thereby disguising the fact that the sheds had been broken into. Cole also urges people who store their belongings, as well as those at home, to write down the serial numbers of appliances, ap-pliances, televisions, guns, etc. Even when stolen items are recovered, he said, it is difficult, if not impossible to identify them because of lack of recorded serial numbers. Police also received reports on the theft of stolen shovels valued at $38 from inside the E. B. Hutton garage, and an in-dash AM-FM cassette stereo from a truck parked in the driveway at the home of Roger Butikofer. Value was estimated at $289. Arrest Springville police arrested and charged a Salt Lake City woman, Rae Mayer Sanchez, with uttering a forged prescription, a felony. The woman, apparently released from Utah State Prison just days before her arrest, tried to pass the prescription at Art City Pharmacy. She has been ordered to appear in Eighth Circuit Court in Spanish Fork at 10 a.m. on February 8. Women and family Jife , in affluent Singapore-- and by contrast in stark Southeast Asian refugee camps, will be described, looked at graphically on slides and discussed with the public at a free lecture at the Springville Library-Civic Library-Civic Auditorium at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28 (tonight). The program is third of a four-part series on lifestyles and values of women and families in Asia, entitled "Chrysanthemums and Lotus Blossoms: Women and Family Life in Asia," and is alternating sessions at Springville with the Spanish Fork Library, who hosted a November session on India. Funded in part by a grant from the Utah Endowment for the Humanities, the programs are sponsored spon-sored by the libraries with the Weber State College Division of Continuing Education and are co-sponsored statewide by the Utah Federation of Women's Clubs, the American Association of University Women-Utah Women-Utah State Division, the Utah PTA and other organizations. New Asian Americans are especially invited to attend, along with the public of ail ages, including family groups, and to bring artifacts from Southeast Asia if they have them, Librarian Paula Jones points out. Mary E. (Polly) Harrington of Ogden, writer and journailst who in terviewed more than 100 women, men and children over Asia, including those in Asian refugee camps, during the 1978-1979, will be the lecturer, as she was for the former sessions. Southeast Asian Studies on the campus of the University of Singapore. Mrs. Harrington was an affiliate missionary, United Church Board for World Ministries. "Whereas families on the beautiful, clean island of Singapore, with a mixed population of 2.3 million of Chinese, Malays, Indians and others squeezed into 250-square miles, have achieved the second highest living standard in Asia, the Indochinese refugee families we saw arriving on Singaporean shores in flimsy boats, were turned away, many to drown at sea and thousands put into dismal refugee camps in Southeast Asia," the Harringtons point out. "We found ourselves joyous for the Singaporean families success, but weeping at the same time for the refugees." "Questions for thought" to be discussed by Dr. Harrington with the public include: 1. "In Singapore which has a one-party one-party government, families are achieving high living standards with affluence as a major goal. Can a family live meaningfully by this materialistic philosophy alone?" 2. "Singapore has refused to admit refugees, since they might undermine high living standards. Thus many Indochinese In-dochinese families arriving in boats have been turned away, some to drown at sea. The USA and other Western nations have resettled tens of thousands of these refugees. Should Singaporeans bear some responsibility for the refugee families?" : , 53ir - jri 1 d. V -Jfe 1 3. "Utahans have taken in about 7,500 Indochinese- recently at the rate of about 150 a month, and will be asked to continue to sponsor refugees. Most of the new refugees are relatives of persons already resettled here, for family reunification. How do you feel about Utah taking in additional refugees?" Mrs. Jones notes that the lectures should be of particular interest to study groups, school faculty, students and PTA members, church groups and cultural refinement programs. Dr. Gordon K. Harrington, professor of history and coordinator of the Asian Studies program at Weber State College, will be respondent to his wife's lecture and lead the public in open discussion. The Harringtons, with sons Jonathan, then 14, family photographer, and Charles, 12, family journal keeper, lived in Singapore for three months with the boys attending Singapore schools and Dr. Harrington being visiting fellow at the Institute of 'A Dr. Gordon K.
