January is National Radon Action Month This year, Utahns can make their New Year's resolutions reso-lutions and test their homes for radon. Radon is naturally occurring, odorless, tasteless, radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. It has been found at high levels in every state in America. Radon enters homes through cracks and other openings, surrounding soil and sometimes contaminates well water. The gas is not dangerous when diluted by outdoor air, but when trapped inside, it can build to dangerous levels, according to the Utah Safety Council. Nearly one in 15 homes in the U.S. is estimated to have elevated radon levels. Radon problems may be more prevalent in some areas, but any home may have a prob IjlciiiiME a Plans for the annual fashion show and fund raising rais-ing project were presented to Orem Women's Club at the Orem Senior Friendship Center Wednesday (Jan. 15) "Float Into Spring," will be the theme of the fundraiser and luncheon at the UVSC ballroom., March 8.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. Only cigarette smoking causes more cancer deaths. Approximately 14,000 people die each year from radon-related cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the surgeon general have strongly recommended that all residences, except those above the second floor in multi-level buildings) be tested for radon. Because radon gas is invisible to sight, smell or taste special detection kits are necessary to find a potential problem. Radon detection kits are inexpensive and easy to use. After completing the test, residents can mail in the entire kit for analysis to the manufacturer. Analysis is often included in the price of Buy A New Central Heating System For Only $47 Per Month Plus, these energy-efficient systems will save the average Utah County homeowner home-owner $25 per month on their utility bill.

Levels above 4 pCiL (Pico Curies per Liter) are considered "action" levels by the EPA, meaning steps should be taken to further correct the problem.

ClMl The Saga of Simon Birch The annual "Little People of America'' convent was just held in Salt Lake City. More than 1,000 1 tie people attended, according to ivari surai1 Alpine School District special education teache,1 Young Simon Birch was only three feet tall: When born, he was the smallest of the small. His mother thought of him, as less than zero, Yet, all his life, he hoped to be a hero. In school his classmates chased and made him ruj They called him "freak: a figure of their fun. He only knew he was a little boy, Who lived his life to bring somebody joy! Lighting his life, he had a special friend, Whose eighth-grade class in school he did attend She knew his heart. She taught him with her smilrf A winning teacher with no glint of guile. Young Simon's father seldom graced the scene, And never was the man he might have been. So, Simon Birch was taunted in his town, And denigrated with a sneer and frown. H ow sad, that Simon seemed to score a zero, Although he dearly yearned to be a hero! How could this person want the winner's prize,1 Whose body never reached heroic size? So, Simon only told a friend his wish, While he became a swimmer, like a fish. Sometimes, bold chances he would take In diving and while swimming in the lake. A boy with asthma sought out Simon Birch, Each Sunday morning, on the way to church Two boys: one, rather short, the other, tall, Forged friendships in their private world, so srrl, Good deeds he did: the one so very short. His life became a game of good report. Unknown to anyone, did Simon play His helpful pranks on someone, every day! H e found and brought home Simon's neighbor's df His heavy hatchet chopped a widow's log. "If I can't be a hero," Simon said, "I'll be a secret helper, here instead!" And so, he dreamed his days in sun and rail For those who often took his name in vain. One day, his friend with asthma asked his aid: "Please come to camp with me. I am afraid. They will not let me go, without a friend, To stay with me in camp, my needs to tend." So, Simon joined him on the bus to camp, And in the tent, they lighted up their lamp. Too soon, the week was gone. They had their fun The bus of boys was homesick, every one! The driver drove the bus from Beavers Camp, Careening toward the lake, below the ramp. In moments, 15 boys were dazed and chilled: Trapped in the lake, in which the bus had spillei The oldest boy, named Simon, very small, Took charge of them and vowed to save them all Then, one by one, he towed them from the bus In 14 icy trips. Incredulous! He saved them all. But Simon Birch was chilled, From which he died. His favor was fulfilled! Jc 3c In SIMONSTOWN gray granite grooms a grave: A stone, just three-feet tall, reads: "HE WAS BRAVE! YOUNG SIMON BIRCH WAS MORE THAN .TTTST A 7PRn THIS STALWART STONE IS TALL AS THAT GREAT HERO! THE SOUL OF SIMON, THREE-FEET TALL, T.Am WTPTJT? PROVES PREJUDICE MAY, ONE DAY, DISAP PEAR." As other "lesser people," lift their eyes, God knows, they may be heroes in disguise!
