Show Spotlighting American Fork Senior Citizens Children's Fund Drive Underway r. i t HST 11 A friend of Primary Children's Chil-dren's Medical Center will call at your house before May 8th. Why? To ask you to help very needy children toward better health. You can do this by giving giv-ing your pennies to the Primary Children's Medical Center. This is the only center in the Intermountain West dedicated dedi-cated solely to providing the best in medical care for children. chil-dren. In previous years the hospital has received substantial substan-tial financial support to enable it to provide medical care for all children, regardless of race, religion or ability to pay. We want to maintain that policy and can do it only with your support. The Center receives children who need help for such things as birth defects, heart disease, speech and hearing problems psychiatric disorders (inpatient and outpatient), cancer, and , many other severe health problems. prob-lems. We have trained surgeons sur-geons who can take out tonsils and others who can put a child's spine back into his body. Primary Children's Medical Center offers the very finest emergency and intensive care services, a blood bank, the very latest in physical therapy and x-ray equipment, many clinics for special health problems, a brace shop, and a children's dental program. We can take care of children's medical problems from A to Z. We helped over 7,700 inpatients last year. There were more than 106,000 outpatient visits. Can you help us to restore a child's health? Can you give us some pennies for each inch of your height? One penny for each inch would be nice. "Pennies "Pen-nies by the inch" would be even nicer. Remember to "Stand Tall When You Give." People sometimes ask us, "Who owns the hospital?" The L.D.S. Church has now given to a new non-profit corporation the ownership ow-nership of all previously L.D.S. Church-owned hospitals, including in-cluding Primary Children's Medical Center. This transfer of ownership will not change our hospital policy in any way. It will care for children regardless regard-less of race, color, creed or ability to pay and will still of'er the loving, specialized care that has always been found at this hospital. The many children who rome to us for care do not ask. "Who owns the hospital?", but ask only with pleading eyes, "Please make me well." Please help us do it. In the American Fork Stake Marilyn Christensen has the following workers to help in the MARGARET BARBER moved to American Fork when her husband was hired by the Geneva Steel Plant. For 21 years prior to the move, she taught school in her home state of Kentucky. Margaret Barber still speaks with the trace of an accent that betrays her southern upbringing, upbring-ing, and while her Kentucky drawl has diminished over the past 30 years that she has lived in American Fork, her memory of her old Kentucky home has not. Hood Run in Greenup County, Coun-ty, Kentucky? "It just isn't big," is the way that Margaret describes the rural town that she was born in. And the towns didn't get much bigger when her farmer parents decided to move. Old Town, Kentucky, an old Indian settlement, just wasn't known for its size either. When asked how big Old Town was, Margaret tells the story of the stranger who came into town with a distressed look on his face. After' wandering around for some time, he came up to a friend and asked where Old Town, Kentucky was. The friend looked at the man and said, "Mister, you're standing right in the middle of it." When Margaret became of high school age, she found the means to attend the normal school at Kentucky State Teachers College in Richmond. It was here that she learned the profession that she would devote much of her life to. For 21 years, Margaret taught school in Greenup County. Coun-ty. Her first job was with the same two-room rural school-house school-house that she had been edu-caated edu-caated in, but she later taught for 18 years at Flat Wood Junior Jun-ior High School. "I guess my calling was teaching," surmises sur-mises Margaret of her years of teaching English. At 36 years of age, Margaret was a spinster by choice, vowing vow-ing that she would never marry. However, while teaching teach-ing a youth group in the Methodist Metho-dist Church, she became acquainted ac-quainted with the three children chil-dren of Wirt "Bill" Barber. Shortly afterward, she met Bill who expressed some interest in getting married. Margaret told him that she was not interested in getting married, but "he was a man who wouldn't take no for an answer." Two years later Margaret gave up teaching and married Bill. Although the couple had no children, Bill's three children have known Margaret as their mother throughout the years. Two of the three children, Charlie Barber and Mary Barber Barb-er Fuller, live in Elkhart, Indiana. In-diana. The third child, Robert, who formerly lived in Ironton, Ohio, has died. On a trip to the West, Bill had noticed that the climate was better for his health than was the Kentucky humidity. He decided to move out to Utah in 1945 when he read an article in Time Magazine noting the building of a steel plant in Utah County. A steelworker by trade, Bill wrote to the company com-pany and made the move. Bill worked for the Geneva plant and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad until he retired in 1968; two years later Bill died and Margaret was left alone in Utah. Margaret's ties with Utah had grown strong, and she chose to remain in Utah when the chance to move back to Kentucky presented itself. Over the years that she has lived in American Fork, Margaret Mar-garet has taught the adult Sunday Sun-day School class at the local Presbyterian Church. For 20 of those years, she has been an elder in the general assembly of the ruling body of the church. She has also served as the clerk of the general assembly. Although she never had the chance to return to her chosen profession, Margaret has worked as an assistant librarian librar-ian for the American Fork City Library for the past 12 years. She continues to work two days a week mending books for the library. She has been active in the Senior Citizens group for the past year and a half and has been an active gardener throughout her life. With all of this activity, Margaret Mar-garet Barber finds it difficult to return to her old Kentucky home. "I love the state," says Margaret as she reminisces about Old Town and Hood Run," but I like living out here." 1 This Mother's Day Give Something Special for 1 YOUR MOTHER from ,!g vj "rjiiiiiiiiiiiMiiHi1 y 13 Esst Msin :g S!p American Fork Featuring Butte Knits Also: Dresses Pantsuits Handbags Jewelry Cm rune & Jo VVUI ww New: Yves Saint Laurent, Colognes and Perfumesj 20 Off J on All Coats! mmmmuwm 3 Phi M n 17 North Merchant Street American Fork "Ace is the place with the Helpful Hardware Man" 2 tf Q 3 CASH SALES ONLY 2 D Frid ays Only ay and Saturday May 7 and 8 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. drive: 18th Ward, Carol Henderson; Hen-derson; 7th Ward, Sharon Spears; 5th Ward, Virginia Scholes; 2nd Ward, Wilma Mor-tenson; Mor-tenson; 11th Ward, Nancy Williamson; Wil-liamson; 16th Ward, Pat Hardy; 3rd Ward.
