Jacobson, Oak City, committee member. This survey is the" outgrowth of a visit to the school .board a few weeks ago by interested parents and committee members, who discussed dis-cussed the program with school board members. Pres. Joseph Robinson, Robin-son, Gardner Kimball, Kenneth Nielson, Ormus Dutson and Quin Shepherd, and Supt. Golden P. Wright. It was indicated at that time that if the school district is to receive the state funds allocated under the exceptional child program, it must be known how many of the children child-ren of school age or under would benefit from some aspect of the program. Purposes of the survey are threefold: three-fold: 1. To educate residents in an understanding of the exceptional child program, its aims and goals. 2. To encourage parents to give their children an attitude of respect re-spect and helpfulness toward the handicapped. 3. To determine the needs of the children in this area in regard to the exceptional child program (i.e. speech, hearing, vision, motor or mental handicaps, remedial help for slow learners etc). Great strides have been made in recent years in the development of educational and therapeutic techniques techni-ques which help a child with a problem to live a happy, useful life in his own community. The Utah State Legislature, in keeping with the national trend to provide for the exceptional child, made provisions for financial grants to the schools interested in providing provid-ing this training or therapy. Approximately $18,000 enough for four units was approved for Millard County School District this year, and could be made available should our county meet the speci- f ications.

Cross Opens Campaign from the Red Cross during 1957 were many, as 40 of the money collected was left in the area to be used locally. Perhaps one of the biggest benefits was the 79 pints of blood which was given to the Delta hospital. "Russia and their Sputnick venture ven-ture has increased the need for Red Cross funds this year in the United States," Mrs. Glenn said. "Especially when we realize the Red Cross disaster funds are completely com-pletely gone." This new situation has also increased demand for first aid classes in 17 southern counties in Utah. Contrary to the opinion of some people no charge is made for Red Cross blood in the state of Utah. A charge is made, however, at the hospitals for the administration. In fact, 40 of all hospitals In the United States have access to Red Cross blood. The Latter-day Saint hospital In Salt Iike City and many hospitals in Utah County do not use Red Cross blood, hut if any person from Millard County is in one of these hospitals and blood is needed, they are entitled to the use of Red Cross blood at no cost to them. u wo Legeon Posies nnounce American Legion Posts 8i) and 117 at Delta .this week announce the merger of the two posts, and the newly formed post will be Cahoon-Jenson Cahoon-Jenson Post 135.

Here for the occasion were sons and daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Barton, Midvale, Mr. and Mrs. C F. Patterson, of San Mateo, Calif., and their daughter, Mrs. Norma Amende, Mr. and Mrs. Elwin Pace, Delta, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Dam-ron, Dam-ron, Mr. and Mrs. T. B.

Mr. Western was born March 13, 1869, at Little Spring Valley, Lincoln Lin-coln County, Nevada.' He came to Deseret as a boy of eight years, with his parents, Samuel W. and Sarah Ann Wood Western, making the trip by oxen team, and driving sixty head of cattle. They arrived just before Christmas, in 1877. A long and a:tive life has been well lived by Mr. Western.

Clair Anderson, of Mantl, chairman of the SBA field advisors for Utah. Monday afternoon the survey team was accompanied on a tour of the industries in and around Delta by Golden H. Black and ;tis Walch. At the meeting Monday, night Mr. Smethills explained the aid SBA may give small business, and how it is procured. "A small business is any business with less than 500 employes," he said, and continued to state that SBA can loan up to $250,000 in any one loan. Maximum length of time is 10 years, and interest rate of 6. First requisite is a letter from the bank stating that the bank cannot make the loan. Second, financial statements, for 1, 2, or 3 years, and the statement should be current cur-rent within 60 days. If after looking at the letter and statement, SBA determines the applicant is eligible for a loan, then they try to get the bank to share the loan. Where this happens SBA actually shares the loan and neither' one is paid off first. The applicant deals with the bank, and keeps his credit established with the bank. Up todate, Mr. Smethills said, SBA has been successful in having banks participate 86 of all the loans they have made in a four-stale four-stale area, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming Wyo-ming and New Mexico, even though the loan was declined orginally by the bank. That way, the applicant keeps credit established ,with the bank and next time he finds it easier to get a loan from his hank. SBA makes all (disaster loans, drouth, excess rain, and so on, to business men only. Their procurement procure-ment function is seeing that small business is given their proportionate proportion-ate share of everything that government gov-ernment purchases. A limited loan participation service ser-vice is designed for the small business busi-ness man in the small community. In that a loan of $15,000 on the government's part is made, if the bank will take 25 of the loan. SBA can make the loan, even if the collateral is not as good as it should be. E. S. Kotok, Chief Forest Utilization Utiliza-tion Research, U.S. Dept. of Agri-cultuure, Agri-cultuure, from Ogden, was also a speaker. Development of business, both new and established, was discussed by the audience of thirty businessmen business-men from the area. The survey team was in Fillmore Tuesday, and in Moroni Wednesday.
