"We learn to prepare ourselves and to get our heads together in DECA." A press release, penned by Reporter Sean Plunner, noted: "DECA members have many opportunities to expand their educational horizons through local chapter chap-ter activities. Placing emphasis em-phasis on 'hands-on' experiences, experi-ences, students go beyond the classroom to projects and activities throughout the community. Leadership in marketing is developed through projects and activities activi-ties designed to enhance vocational understanding, civic consciousness, social intelligence, and development develop-ment of leadership skills." The DECA students commented com-mented that this is the first official year of operation of the organization in Park City, and all look forward to increasing their local membership mem-bership through interest-raising interest-raising activities.

Ideas For Better LiYing Wood Stoves: Woodburning stoves are they a passing fad or a permanent household appliance? appli-ance? Stoves are now selling about as fast as pet rocks and hula hoops sold in years past, but they cost a lot more, and are certainly more utilitarian. Some families heat their homes entirely with wood. One Utah manufacturer of stoves is as much as seven months behind on filling orders from dealers. Heritage Heri-tage Stoves, in West Jordan, has between two and three 'thousand .back orders. The Woodsman Stoves factory is running about three months behind. Fisher Stoves are only about a month behind on their orders, but they are having to "import" some of their stoves from Oregon. The Norwegian Jotul stoves are so much in demand that Kristia Assoc., the U.S. importer, has had to nut all of their American distributors on strict allocation alloca-tion quotas for ther rest of the year. Why are so many of your neighbors buying stoves? There are certainly many reasons, but inflation and the energy crunch lead the list. Every incident in Iran sells a thousand stoves in America. The memory of long lines at the gas station sells stoves. Exorbitant gas and electric bills sell stoves. The talk of gas rationing, federal thermostat ther-mostat bureaucrats, shortagesthese short-agesthese are some of the best full-time salesmen the stove dealer has. A stove or fireplace used to be an expensive luxury item that a family looked forward to having when they could afford it a decorative feature fea-ture or status symbol. Now many families look upon a stove as an investment that will more than pay for itself in two or three winters it is becoming an economic necessity. ne-cessity. In a world of political and economic uncertainty, a family with a good wood-burning wood-burning stove and a year's supply of wood has an extra measure of independence and self-sufficiency. They not only have warmth, they also have an emergency cooking applicance. For those woodstove owners own-ers with a patriotic spirit, there is some satisfaction in, knowing they are using a renewable fuel that can be judiciously gleaned from our Vast forests without depleting deplet-ing our supply of useable lumber. Many families make a special outing of their annual wood-cutting expedition. expedi-tion. Some winter evening as you sit in your favorite chair by the stove, put down your book for a moment and take some satisfaction in knowing know-ing in your own home you are helping the nation conserve fossil fuels, and you are a little less dependent on the huge oil companies and the Arabs. By Dr. M. Ford McBride Timpanogos Community Mental Health Center All of us have had the experience of being so absorbed ab-sorbed in a movie or TV program that we felt we were part of the story and forgot we were part of the audience. Whether you will admit it or not, you were in a state of hypnosis. There is nothing fearful or mysterious about hypnosis. It is merely a state of strong interest in some particular thing. Many people report that becoming hypnotized is like falling asleep. The difference differ-ence between sleep and hypnosis is that in hypnosis you hear the hypnotist's voice as" part of the background back-ground to whatever other experience you may have. , Hypnosis is an individual experience and is not the same for everyone. In a sense, hypnosis is like a sleep walker, he can carry out various complex activities activi-ties while remaining hypnotized. hypno-tized. Even though hypnosis has been used and well publicized publi-cized for nearly 200 years, there are many misconceptions misconcep-tions and false ideas held by the public. Most people expect to pass out and be unconscious when hypnotized. Actually, there is never loss of consciousness conscious-ness even in the deepest states of hypnosis. You are always aware of what is going on around you. Another misconception is that people expect to be under the control of the hypnotist ; in his power. They think- any suggestion the hypnotist makes must be , carried out. Under hypnosis there is no surrender of will power. Any suggestion given is strictly censored, both consciously and subconsciously. subcon-sciously. Generally no one will do anything under hyp nosis that is against his moral character or will. Some people fear while in hypnosis they will say something some-thing they might not want known or discussed, as may happen with some drugs. Since one is fully aware at all times when hypnotized there is no such tendency. Another fear often expressed ex-pressed is that awakening from hypnosis may be difficult diffi-cult or impossible. There is never any difficulty except in very, very rare cases. Even in such cases the subject can always be awakened. awak-ened. If you ever have an opportunity oppor-tunity to be hypnotized by a trained professional such as your dentist or doctor, try it. I think you'll find it helpful.
