Show B Postmaster Clyde E. Weeks As the 1983-84 school year comes to a close in the Alpine School District, it is an exciting time for elementary school children as they come together in field days, assemblies and other special gatherings gather-ings at their several schools. One such event, which is representative of many others held in Orem, was the Westmore Spring Fling held last week at the Westmore scnooi. It was a beautiful day for the event which was held out-of-doors on the lawn south of the school. Patriotic music filled the air Friday morning as the students trailed out of their classrooms and gathered on the grass, along with many of their parents. Three gaily-colored May-poles provided the focal point for the occasion occa-sion as special awards were given to students and the various classes participated par-ticipated in exciting events and demonstrations. To see the many excited children and many of their parents joining together in this kind of activity was truly a heart-warming demonstration of the kind of things which make living liv-ing in this community to attactive to so many. A special feature of the Westmore Spring Fling was the presentation of "Hope of America" award to outstanding boys and girls of the sixth grades at Westmore by the Orem Kiwanis Club. The names of those who receive these awards are placed on a special plaque displayed at each elementary school in Orem. EYES HAVE IT Now that Utah has 28 morticians who are certified by the University of Utah School of Medicine to harvest donated corneas, the next step is for a goodly number of Utah residents to take the steps which will make available these corneas for transplant. The Utah Lions Club Eye Bank located at the University Medical Center is the facility which is gathering gather-ing healthy corneas for use in providing pro-viding improved vision to people with eye problems. The miracle of microsurgery now makes possible the replacement of the damaged cornea of a living person with the healthy cornea cor-nea of a dead person. However, the timeless of the removal of the corneas is a crucial factor in the success of a cornea transplant. Therefore, those of us who Mt.

SIMPLE STATEMENT A simple statement signed and witnessed by two persons and copies furnished to one's closest relatives can accomplish the desired result. Such a statement could be patterned after the following: , "Because of my interest and concern con-cern for those who have problems with their eyes which can be alleviated by the transplantation of healthy corneas; I direct that immediately im-mediately upon my death, if it is determined by competent medical opinion that my eyes be removed by a licensed physician or another person per-son certified by a recognized school of medicine, and that my corneas be promptly transmitted to the nearest Utah Lions Club Eye Bank. "I direct that my nearest relatives facilitate the removal of my corneas according to my expressed wishes, that others may be able to see clearly the fabulous wonders and sights which have blessed my life.' Certainly, it is a far-sighted person per-son who will choose to extend his vision vi-sion into the future by donating his corneas to those who may live long after he is gone. This gift of sight which only we can give can bless the lives of untold numbers if only we will take this simple step to insure it. MOVING TIME Every year, approximately one-third one-third of the people in this country move from one place to another. This involves the forwarding of a great deal of mail from one part of the country coun-try to another. Last year, along, the Postal Service Ser-vice forwarded 45 million pieces of mail for those who moved. By doing some planning ahead, you can avoid paying forwarding charges, and possible delays in getting get-ting your mail by telling everyone your new address a month before you move. A change-of-address kit available at the post office can make the change easier for people on the move. The kit's handy postcards can be used to notify the post office, friends, business correspondents ana magazines of your new address so mail will find you in your new home. Atkin is president of Sky West Airlines. Eccles, a native of Ogden, now lives and works in the Salt Lake City area, while Atkins lives in St. George, the home of Sky West.

Dennis Cobia, Alpine District Opts For Local Computer System The Alpine School District Board of Education has decided to expand the district's own computer capabilities rather than tie into state systems such as that offered by the Utah State Office of Education. The decision to purchase an IBM System 38 Management Program for Schools and accompanying J&K software soft-ware was made at the board's monthly mon-thly business meeting and follows the recommendation of a district computer com-puter advisory committee and Alpine Data Processing Director, Kenneth Beck. "Over a ten year period," said Beck, "it would actually cost more to tie into a state system than to have our own computer. The ten year cost for the State Office of Education program would be nearly $948,000; having our own IBM computer with the needed software would cost around $907,000 for the sam4 pprind." "The IBM38 will increase our present capabilities nearly ten times,"continued Beck, and also pro Children from divorced families are apt to score lower on tests and be rated less favorably by their peers and teachers than children from "intact" "in-tact" families, a recent Kent State University study reveals. "There are substantial differences dif-ferences between children of intact families and those of divorced families," says John Guidubaldi, professor pro-fessor of early childhood education and director of the study. In addition to scoring lower on IQ, reading and spelling tests, children of divorce are also absent from school more frequently and are more likely to repeat a grade, to be placed in remedial reading classes and to be referred to a school psychologist. Guidubaldi's chief recommendation recommenda-tion is that schools beef up their pro Two Orem Men Get New Valtek Posts Valtek today announced appointment appoin-tment of a new marketing manager, reappointment and expanded responsibilities for two sales managers, and reappointment of contracts manager, as part of a realignment of the Sales department.

The Freedom Awards Luncheon honors well-deserving citizens who have made various contributions to their neighborhood, community, or vides for expansion for future growth. Our present system is outdated and is already operating at four-fifths of, capacity Vz it has no add-on features. The new configuration will establish terminals in all of our schools to allow for immediate computer access and feedback to the central office by the entire district. The preliminary costs for the complete system, with trade-in allowed on some of the replaced har-dward, har-dward, will be approximately $400,000. These costs will be paid for from capital outlay revenues and not maintenance and operation funds. With the up-to-date hardward in place.the district will be able to develop a new pupil information system which will also tie together data for a student file, a staff file, a facilities file, a school support services ser-vices file, and a community file. Student scheduling of class schedules and academic reporting will be major functions of the new system. Your Schools and You by Bob Hunsaker Executive Director . Utah County Educators gram for psychological services for children of divorced families. He added add-ed that school superintendents "ought to be made more sensitive to the importance im-portance of preventive mental health" and not restrict counseling to students in special education. The study disclosed "far more detrimental effects" of divorce on boys than on girls. Boys, the study speculated are more affected by their parents' divorce because children fare better with single parents of the same sex (women) since 90 percent of custody rights go to mothers. Guidubaldi indicated that school officials should make certain that both parents in divorced families be kept informed of a student's school record. "Too often, following divorce, schools cut off contact with the custodial parent," he said. ERIC ANTHONY i L HARRY WEEKS country.
