GARTH L Following the purchase of the Virginia Manor Restaurant by the Orem Veterans groups with Utah County and Orem City tax moneys, they remodeled the building somewhat and erected a sign in front designating it as the "Orem Veterans Memorial." The illuminated Roll of Honor was moved from the SCERA Theatre to the Veterans Memorial where it was relegated to a corner of the back of the building, For the next 30 years the Orem Veterans Memorial provided a community center for the veterans organizations, civic meetings, political conventions, play rehearsals, musical recitals and other activities. However, one fatal flaw in the financial structure of the Orem Veterans Memorial foreshadowed the eventual doom of the facility and led to its demise. That fatal flaw and how it might have been remedied will be revealed next week in the conclusion of this series of Editor ials ( i (Q) 0 kJ . " ru&itnastor Clyde E. Weeks l 19861 Orem-Geneva Times- -Wednesday, June 18, 1986 Parents ' Help Cme By Krlsllnt Mecham z A number of Orem residents are asking this week, "Am I really that lucky, or is this just another rip-off? " A very official-looking blue-bordered blue-bordered certificate arrives in the mail from Las Vegas without even the name or address on it of the person to whom it is delivered. "CONGRATULATIONS! We entered your name in our GIANT BONUS GIVEAWAY. Out of several thousand people involved, YOU DID IT! YOU are entitled to one of the following GIFTS, in Category "A," "B," or "C." So again CONGRATULATIONS! It is very important that YOU PERSONALLY call me as soon as possible to learn how you can receive your GUARANTEED GIFT! My private number is (702) 796-2967. Thanks, MIKE." Listed below in Category "A" are: Your choice of a brand new 1986 Ford Taurus, or a brand new 1986 Searay Seville 16 ' boat with a 140 HP Mercruiser engine and trailer. Category "B:" offers a "dream vacation for two to either Hawaii, Australia, England or Tahiti! It's for 7 days and 6 fun-filled nights, hotel accommodations plus one roundtrip airfare from a major airport in your area! Category "C:" gives you a choice of a One Seat Quick Silver MX Ultra Lite Plane with a 377 Rotax Engine, or a Kawasaki 300 Jet Ski. Just Call "Mike" A telephone call to "Mike" reveals that he works for a "wholesale gift house" and the gift you have won, ranging in value from $15,000 to $17,500 is supposed to acquaint you with their merchandise. The only catch is, in order to qualify to receive your "gift," you have to order a quantity of butane lighters," money clips or pens and;-pencil and;-pencil sets from "Mike." The absolute minimum order is a box of 18 butane lighters for $440.00, which means they cost $44.00 each. I have never bought a cigarette lighter, but I do believe $44.44 is a pretty steep price to pay for one, let alone 18! "Mike" tells you that should you win the 1986 Ford Taurus, you can go down to Given Ford and pick out your color and options, and drive it home just as soon as the certified check for $15,000 arrives from his firm. Realistically , I would expect that ; rather than a new Ford or a "dream vacation," every single person who buys a supply of butane lighters, money clips, or pen and pencil sets, will get as a gift a Kawasaki 300 Jet Ski (whatever that is.) Major Credit Card Just give "Mike" your Major Credit Card number to pay for your merchandise, and your exciting "gift" will be on its way just as soon as VISA or MASTERCARD credits "Mike's" account with your money. . Please let me know when your "gift" arrives. I'd really like to see exactly what a Kawasaki 300 Jet Ski is! And I'd also like to know what "Mike's" name really is! North Pole Stamps The North Pole has always been a kind of mythological place which most people talk about, but never visit. Only a few hardy bands of explorers have ever reached the North Pole, and some of them are honored on a block of four 22-cent stamps issued recently . The stamps honor Elisha Kent Kane, who threw open the door to the North Pole by sailing his tiny ship "Advance" northward perhaps to the sighting of the Polar Sea, itself; Adolphus Greely, who endured devastating hardship to reach a point that was closest any explorer got to the North Pole in 21 years; Robert E. Peary and his resourceful assistant Matthew Henson, whose expeditionary assaults ended in triumph at the North Pole in 1909; and Vilhajalmur Sefansson, who explored the Beaufort Sea, the last great unknown Arctic area. The new stamps were first issued in special ceremonies held in North Pole, Alaska, a station of the Fairbank Post Office. Designed by Dennis Lyall of Norwalk, Conn., the stamps were subsequently unveiled at ceremonies held at the Explorers Club in New York City. The Orem Post Office has them on sale now. Gone With The Wind "Gone With The Wind" fans will be interested in knowing that Margaret Mitchell, the author of that saga of the Old South, will be honored on a new 1 cent stamp to be issued on June 30, in Atlanta, Georgia. Born in Atlanta November 8, 1900, Mitchell grew up in an environment permeated by the Old South. Her father, president of the Atlanta Historical Society, along with the family servants, held her spellbound with stories about the Civil War and Reconstruction. SAVE HAND SOAP With school out and the kids home all day you'll go through hand soap even faster. Keep a jar with about cup of water in the bathroom. Drop all those little scraps and slivers of hand bar soap into it. When the jar is full run the contents through a blender or food processor. Now you have liquid soap to pour into a pump dispenser. Rinse the blender with hot water to remove all the soap. UNPLUG EARS Dear Kristine: My children love to go swimming, expecially in the summer. We've found a great way to get rid of plugged ears after a swim. Tilt the plugged ear toward the floor, then jump up and down. The ear always unplugs. I know it sounds silly, sil-ly, but it really works! " J. Kohlen Thanks, Jane. For children or adults who swim a lot, water in the ears or "swimmers ear" can be a real problem. There are drops that can be purchased over the counter at the drug store that help prevent swimmers swim-mers ear. For people who swim a great deal, there is a good deal. SEEING IN THE DARK Dear Kristine: My teenage daughter wears hard contact lenses. We've found them many times when lost, by darkening the room and shin ing a flashlight over the floor. The lens sparkles in the light. It's a much easier and faster way to find a lost lens. I sure enjoy your column. Mrs. P. Qlsen Thank you. TEACHING BABY TO DRINK If your baby refuses to drink from a cup, try offering him a drink in his baby bottle with the cap and nipple removed. If he'll drink that way, let him for a few days and then try the cup again. Also to help keep baby neat while learning to drink from a cup and feed himself, tuck a sponge in the pocket of his plastic bid. It keeps the pocket open and the sponge absorbs any spilled liquid. SPOON FEEDING Here are a couple of tips for helping help-ing baby learn to feed himself. When you feed baby with a spoon, give him a spoon to hold and play with. Soon he'll learn to feed himself by copying you. For beginners, mashed potatoes are great! They stay put on baby's spoon better than most foods and easier to handle.

Teacher to Parent Helping your child succeed 0 by Betty Condie President, Utah Education Association Successful Ways To Utah Foundation Reports: VaPfltlOn With Trifle Utah Has 6th Fastest State Tax Growth In The Nation Utah ranked sixth among the 50 states in the percentage increase in state taxes over the past ten years. This was reported in an analysis of state taxes prepared by UtanFounda-' UtanFounda-' tiori, the private tas research organization. organi-zation. According to the Foundation study, state tax collections in Utah climbed from $399 million in the 1975 fiscal year to $1,324 million in fiscal 1985, an increase of 232 (nearly three and a third times) during this ten-year period. This compares with an increase of 168 (approximately two and two-thirds times) for the nation na-tion as a whole. One reason for the greater growth in Utah state taxes, of course, is that Utah's population has increased increas-ed at a faster pace than the U.S. average. Between 1975 and 1985, Utah's population rose 33.3, compared com-pared with an increase of only 10.8 for the entire nation. Nevertheless, even when the tax comparisons are made on a per capita basis, Utah ranks 13th among the 50 states in the percentage of state tax increase over the past ten years. Most state tax rates were raised one or more times since 1975. The only on-ly rates reduced during this period were the individual income tax rates which were trirnmed back slightly in 1976 following substantial increase the year before. The Foundation report points out, however, that inflation resulted in an automatic increase in individual income taxes over the past ten years as families and individuals were pushed into higher tax brackets. State taxes in Utah are taking a larger share of available personal income in-come than they did ten years ago. In 1975, Utah state taxes were equal to 7.48 of personal income by 1985, this percentage had grown to 8.24. For the nation as a whole, state taxes are not quite so burdensome as they are in Utah. State taxes in all 50 states were equal to 6.90 of personal income in 1975 and 7.11 in 1985. Foundation analysts emphasize that these comparisons are for state taxes only. When state and local taxes are combined, the tax burden in Utah is equal to 12.8 of personal income compared with 11.7 for the nation as a whole. Utah ranked 8th among the 50 states by this measure in 1984. . By Betty Condie, President Utah Education Association School is out. Most families are looking forward to a summer vacation. ' A successful family vacation will begin with an analysis of what the family likes to do, what they want from the vacation, and the ages of the children. If your children are old enough, conduct a family meeting to discuss where you'd like to go and what you'd like to do. ..( S, ., , t . Make several choices. Weed them out as you go along. Finances will eliminate some choices. You may be dying to go to China, but who can affort it with four children? Look at alternates closer to home. Perhaps a day or two exploring Chinatown in San Francisco will be a good substitute. Determine the needs of the youngest child first. You can easily meet those of older children,, yourself, and your spouse once the youngest child's have been met Plan a daily activity that's specifically geared to the children. In that way, if they're bored with a more grown-up activity, reassure them that when you leave this place, you're on your way to a spot, they've chosen or one they'll enjoy. If you're going by 'car, find a place to stay for the night by 5 p.m. Don't worry about the same luxury you and your spouse would enjoy if you were alone. Instead, look for swimming pools, game rooms, outdoor play areas, proximities to playgrounds and parks. Finding a base of operations from which you can take day trips will enable children to return to the same place .each, evening and increase their security. This is especially important for younger children. Remember that even young children can get "child-hungry" on a vacation. Look for hotels with children's programs where there will be other families with children. The most important factor for a successful family vacation is your attitude. Have a good time. Be patient and don't keep to a strict time schedule. Don't put pressure on anyone to do more than have a great time. These special times with your children will be treasures in their memory banks, they will always remember them - and so will you. SWAP,MEET Timp Drive In Theater, Orem June Special!
