Show Page Ten - The Springvilie Herald - July 21, 19S: Seals do well in county, local meets The Utah County Swim Program got under way on June 7 pitting Springvilie against Lehi in a dual meet. Springvilie won 375 to 168 points. The Seals then traveled to Orem on June 14, with Orem coming out victorious. Two invitationals were held in June: Strawberry Days at Pleasant Grove and our Art City Invitational on June 22. The two top competitors for the County championship were close through the meet. The Seals pulled in out in the last few events winning 542, with Orem second at 538. Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Payson and Provo never were a threat during the meet. The Seals hosted Provo in another dual meet, held on June 30. The score favored Springvilie 351-262. Last Thursday, Spanish Fork hosted a meet with Payson, Springvilie, and Moab entering the competition. The Seals took the lead on the first relay and were out in front for the remainder of the meet. Springvilie won every relay except four. The following swimmers were double first place scorers for the Seals: Lorilee Gammell, Kristy Bate, Jenny Hatfield, Lara Huff, John Bate, Brian Peterson, Jeremy Skabelund, Jackquelin Metcalf, Sarah Mullaly. The purpose of the county program is for learning the four basic strokes and then competing in races to cut times. The four strokes are freestyle, breast, butterfly, back; and individual medley, a combination of the above four. Purpose of Mr told The purpose of the County Fair is two-fold. First, it stimulates the farmer to bring in the produce and livestock that he is particularly proud of to see how it compares with the best in those classifications produced in the county. He gets a good idea from the exhibits in the various departments as to just what constitutes quality in all kinds of agricultural products. In addition to this educational and inspirational value, the county fair functions as a rural socializer where the farmers from all parts of the county meet and discuss problems common to all. It provides an opportunity op-portunity for fraternizing that is not provided by any other gathering or event. There is no other place where dairymen can talk over dairy problems as effectively as while looking over a barn full of the finest dairy specimens available. Second, the county fair has considerable con-siderable educational value for the consumer of the products of the farm. The housewife becomes conscious that there are many varieties of apples, peaches, carrots, potatoes, and she is able to see the best of each lined up side by side where she may make comparisons. com-parisons. The name of the producer of the produce appears on the entry tag so she may also find out where any of these products may be obtained. ob-tained. The scope of the county fair is extremely wide, covering horticulture, hor-ticulture, floriculture, crops. poultry, swine, beef, dairy, sheep, small animals, home economics, arts and crafts, and fine arts. In addition to these many departments 4-H and FFA exhibits are also very attractive and educational. The carnival, rodeo, feature entertainment en-tertainment and other side shows add a holiday atmosphere that gives individuals stress relief. It is also a family event, with something of interest for everyone in the family. One way fairs can be planned to be of greater benefit to farmers, is to plan exhibits with a greater consumer con-sumer appeal. To have such appeal, in fact, that the consumer visitor can hardly wait to get to the market to buy celery, peaches, etc., of the type seen at the county fair. Then, too, information may be given by place card and by intermittent lectures on the dietary value of the products shown as well as to give new means or ways to prepare the product on display. In other words, we can use the county fair to stimulate a greater demand for the products of our local farmers. The County Fair is a means of knowing our county through the display of highest quality products of our farms and industries, It is not true what some are heard to say--. "See one fair, you've seen them all." Kvery fair is different. New and improved farm products, commercial com-mercial advancements and new manufactured products demand continued interest. Support the county fair. The in U-rfht of the public and the hard workinti committees, supervisors, and board members have made the fair possible and brought it up from an agricultural fall festival to what it is today with each year demanding higher standards and making progressive improvements. So don't miss the Utah County Fair, August 17-20. State girls Softball meet next week Springvilie will host the Utah State Girls Softball Association Tournament Tour-nament on Tuesday, July 26.

Keep fireworks away from eyes, viarns blindness group The 1983 Class A fastpitch soft ball tournament will be held in Coalville from August 8 to 13 Entered in the double elimination tourney are 16 teams from around the state. The top four teams will advance to the Rocky Mountain Rcgionals in Salt Lake City, August 26 to 28. Playing on Peck's of Lehi, a favorite in the tournament, are three local men.

Because they have never come in first place, winning the state championship is a high priority for them, The National Society to Prevent Blindness is concerned that the coming July 24 holiday may bring more mayhem to Utah than a safe and sane observance. Last year, fireworks-related eye injuries jumped 14.5 percent over 1981. United States Consumer Product Safety Commission figures indicate that in 1982, an estimated 8,544 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms across the country for fireworks-related injuries, in-juries, 1,866 of which were to the eyes. Nearly 70 percent of those treated were between the ages of 5 and 24 years. "Among the common pyrotechnic materials that caused those injuries," in-juries," says Suzanne Nelson, executive director of the Utah Af filiate, "are small firecrackers, sparklers, bottle rockets, fountains and roman candles." Sparklers, seemingly innocent in the minds of most people, can be extremely lethal. Burning in excess of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, they can cause severe burns to the eye and can ignite clothing. Bystanders are often innocent victims of such injuries. in-juries. The Society reports that fireworks laws and regulations have been weakened in some areas of the country. This year, 23 states, as opposed to 28 two years ago, have laws limiting the use of fireworks to licensed public displays. Utah is among the states who weakened their existing laws. In early 1982, the State of Washington changed its laws to liberalize the kind of Class C fireworks available for sale to include in-clude firecrackers and aerial devices. A study conducted by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services sampling hospital emergency rooms in nine counties showed that fireworks-related fireworks-related injuries more than doubled during the Fourth of July period, 1982, over the same period for 1981. The Department's findings are reported in the May 13, 1983 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). For many years, the Society has advocated that all fireworks be limited only to licensed public displays. "We'd like this July 24 to be a happy celebration, not a painful, tragic holiday," warns the executive director. "We want people to look at fireworks at public displays and not play with them at home." Utah is an affiliate of the National Society to Prevent Blindness. Celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, the national society is the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in preventing blindness through community service programs, public and professional education research. and Locals pfay in state fastpitch tournament The Springvilie Pony League will host a sectional tourney in Springvilie from July 25 until July 30.

IF Use that space in your garden that didn't get planted earlier and the space vacated from harvesting of peas, radishes and other early crops, suggests Duane Hatch, extension ex-tension horticulturiest, Utah State University. He advises planting trost-toierant vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage by direct seeding. Also plant some of the root crops such as beets, carrots and turnips. He says some of these vegetables planted now will produce good quality that is not overmature. They will store in the soil for a long time. Planting onions now will provide green onions for the table, but wait to plant more radishes until about the first of August. Peas can be planted, but Hatch says you will need to choose a variety such as Oregon Sugar Pod that is resistant to mildew, or one such as Early Frosty. It Is not resistant, so plan to control mildew as needed in the fall.
