"We will be making a major effort ef-fort to increase the opportunities for babies to be born healthy while offering significantly improved diagnosis di-agnosis and treatment for substan tially more birth defect victims.' "The birth defect problem seems to be growing bigger, but our efforts ef-forts against it will grow at an even greater rate, if the people of Millard County wi,l help us, Mrs. Steele said.

The Fund technically, there are seven separate Trusts in the whole, all of which originated from a single source has been set up in what is known as a "Charitable Remainder Trust." This type of trust is being used extensively these days by wealthy people who wish to make gifts to such institutions insti-tutions as schools and hospitals while at the same time assuring for themselves an annual income for life; upon their death, the "charitable remainder" of the fund goes to the "Remainderman" in full. In this instance, the West Millard Hospital is designated as both the Trustee and the Remain derman. The Settlors range in age from the mid-fifties to the late eighties. The Trusts were created by members of the Haggerty family of Wyoming. The property placed in the Trusts consisted of shares in a family-owned corporation which held extensive acreages of BULLETIN!

Sales Continue to Grow at Sherwood Shores Property Mrs. Betty Kelly, Manager of Sherwood Shores V has received word from the Dennison, Texas Office Of-fice of Sherwood Properties, Inc. that Mr. Max Flinchbaugh is expected ex-pected to be in Delta in the near future. He will be assisting Mrs. Kelly in making arrangements for the completion of the facilities at the local resort-retirement project.

Delta, Utah 84624 10c copy the Once By Dick Morrison land, valuable grazing permits, and thousands of sheep, among other assets. I The elder Mr. Haggerty died some years ago, and his widow,' Matilda Haggerty, and their child-j ren, decided that it would be more 1 advantageous for them to place their holdings in such a Trust than to continue to operate the ranch themselves. It was Mr. Eldon Eliason who was directly responsible for arranging ar-ranging to make West Millard Hospital Hos-pital the Trustee. Mr. Eliason had been acquainted with the family ( of the Settlors; he learned from them that the family was looking for a worthy institution to receive the Trust. He felt that our Hospital was such an institution, and the family agreed. j Eldon has been personally hand-. ling the numerous and exacting details de-tails involved in both the business and legal aspects of the matter, as well as the job of liquidating the . assets of the corporation and con- j verting them into cash. After many ; months of work, he has completed all but a few details. As the year 1966 opens, the Trust, now in the care of the WMH Board of Trustees, has actually received, in cash: From sale of sheep, grazing permits, etc $290,000 From sale of land 150,000 From stock in Utah Livestock Production Credit Ass'n 13,000 From insurance 24,000 Total received $477,000 Still to be received are: From sale of warehouse 12,000 From wool subsidy 12,500 From sale of land 224,000 Total to be received ....$248,500 Grand total of both items is $725,500.00. Out of this, debts of the corporation being liquidated must be paid, as well as unavoidable unavoid-able expenses. The net amount which will go into the Trust is approximately ap-proximately $550,000.00. The Board of Trustees of West Millard Hospital Homer Petersen, Leo Day, Verdell Bishop, LaClead Neilson, and Loa Black hold the responsibility for investing and administering ad-ministering the money in the Trust, and of making quarterly payments to the surviving Settlors at the rate of 6 per annum, subject to certain cer-tain adjustments. The Trustees are now faced with the problem of how best to invest the money. For the time being, most of the cash on hand has been placed in U.S. Treasury Bills, which are an interest-bearing type of short-term government security not unlike Government bonds. They are making a serious and exhaustive exhaus-tive study of the matter of selecting select-ing more permanent investments. They have held meetings with bankers, investment counsellors, and stock brokers. They have listened to suggestions from local people. There is good reason to think that they will make investments invest-ments of a sound and profitable nature, and that the Hospital will, in due course, receive benefits of great value.

Sen. Frank E. Moss (right) D-Utah, a Committee Com-mittee member, met with the Director-designate, Dr. Walter Hibbard in Washington, prior to the confirmation hearings. "Dr. Hibbard and I had an extensive ex-tensive discussion concerning the future of the West's mining industry," in-dustry," Sen Moss said. "We are agreed that mining continues to be highly important to our Utah economy." Dr. Hibbard came to the Bureau of Mines post from his position Down jawnhe By INEZ RIDING I'm a worrying type of person. I can spend hours worrying about big things, little things, middle-sized middle-sized things, fat things, scrawny things, round things, square things. In fact, there aren't many things that I don't worry about. Sometimes my worrying piles up and I have to quit everything else and just sit and worry to catch up. But, I do enjoy my worrying and if I do say so myself some of the things I worry about are quite interesting. When I can't fall asleep I worry about history and how it turned on the outcome of one teensy, tiny incident, such as the Boston Tea Party. Supposing that the British had thrown the tea back at our forefathers. Ever think about that? We'l, do. Or supposing that it had been a Boston Bean Party instead. Where would our country be to day? Supposing Paul Revere's horse had stumbled. Would we be the "Great Society" that we are today? Or what if Columbus had not set sail when he did? Heavens. A per son can spend a lot of time worrying worry-ing about that. It's entirely possi ble that we still wouldn t be diS' covered! And if we hadn't been discovered yet where wou'd all the nations be who are now enjoying our "Foreign Aid" at the same time that they stick out their collective ongues at us? A cause of worry? Well, you just know it. I worry about the job that par ents have done in exploding the population and worry now that we all fret that our offspring is taking over the country. I worry about who will be the next show person to enter politics. And along those same lines I worry that some of our politicians WON'T enter snow diz. I worry that David Sj King and Laurence Burton will form a two-man two-man show team and David will be the soft-shoe man and Laurence the singer. I worry about the number ot times that Senators Bennett and Moss get together for the good of utan. I spend a lot of time worrying about the type of country we would be living in had the South won the Civil War. I even worry about what io can tnat war. More recentlv pleasurable worrying moments hare concerned Pres. Johnson. I'm afraid he's losing his evangelistic touch and I worry about bis not making the ten best-dressed list and I wonder how cum? I ieel right bad about this and 1 worry about it constantly. I worry that Mayor J. Bracken Lee of Salt Lake City has mellowed. I fear he truly has. We haven't seen him on television lately nor have we read much about him lately late-ly in the Salt Lake papers. Worry? You bet. I worry about the Salt Lake Commission. Com-mission. I worry that life will become be-come dull in Utah if those three ever get together. I worry about all the criticism hurled recently at Commish Jensen and his new car. Taxpayers are becoming be-coming a grumbling lot and I worry wor-ry about that. Taxpayers shouldn't be criticising a public officiaL I worry that this sort of thing will spread down into Millard and that us taxpayers in Millard County Coun-ty will begin to criticise our public officiaLs. as Manager of Metalurgy and Ceramics Research at General Electric Research and Development Develop-ment Center in Schenectady. N. Y. Prior to Dr. Kibbard's appointment, appoint-ment, Frank C. Memmott. of Carbon Car-bon County, Utah, served for several months as Acting Director. Direc-tor. Mr. Memmott will continue as Deputy Director, an appointment appoint-ment which he received in 1964. Sen. Moss said of the appointment: appoint-ment: "I am assured that the Bureau of Mines will continue an active role in the research phase of mining so that new uses for our natural resource products might be found to the advantage of the Western mining industry." That's cause for worry. I worry that the Special Session of the Utah Legislature will take the twinkle out of Governor Ramp-ton's Ramp-ton's eyes. I worry about the type of maga zine that our state is advertised in. And now there's something brand new to worry about. Supposing the Olympics for Utah convinces the International Committee to hold the 1972 Olympics in Utah and it doesn't snow. I worry about the way the John Birch Society has been washed out of the hair of the Republican Party. I worry about Hubert Humphrey and his short little legs carrying him all over spreading the good news about Pres. Johnson's "Great Society". Well, it's not really Hu bert that Ira worried about. Jt's thosee short little legs. What if they give out in the middle of one of his jokes? What would that do to our nation's image? I worry about the work involved for the wives of members of the Ku Klux Klan on sheet-washing day. I worry that the Great Salt Lake may still look like an out-sized cesspool in 1972. Of course, if we don't get the Olympics it won't matter, will it? Should I worry a-bout a-bout that more? Maybe so. Yes, I believe that I will let that receive top priority on my worry list. I worry that Sukarno doesn't love. This reallv breaks me up. I worry about local problems, also. al-so. I worry about the now "defunct" organization known as "Bench-Sitters-In-The-Sun". What ever hap pened? Did that organization become be-come the "right-wing" element of the "Wall-Holder-Uppers"? Did members move inside to Curly's? Did they move inside at Cecil Baker's Ba-ker's Pharmacy? I worry that a petition will be circulated without my getting a chance to sign it. I worry about next Christmas. Will Delta have street decorations. Or will we be bare? I worry about Ray Jensen. Construction Con-struction Foreman at Delta High Schoo1. I worry that he's ahead of production schedule. What if he works himseli right out of a job? I worry about Senator Wadding-ham Wadding-ham and his love of catchup. A Senator shouldn't love catchup LIKE THAT. I worry about Delta City's sewer system. I worry about hemlines. Will they become shorter, longer, stay the same? I hope they stay the same. I've got two skirts that I've lengthened and shortened so many times that there's hardly anything left except the band. Besides if skirts get shorter then I'll have to worry about Bob. His eyesight isn't as good as it used to be. I worry about Commissioner Max field and the coming election. Will he choose to run or not? Is he REALLY as good a dancer as everyone every-one claims he is? I worry that he's worried about not being able to get a new car like Commissioner Jensen of Salt Lake County. 1 worry about running out ot three-day deordant pads on the fourth day. I worry. I worry. I worry. But. aren't I lucky to live at this time when there's so many interesting inter-esting things to worry about? YOUNG MARRIEDS The "Young Marrieds" group of Delta First Ward will meet every second and fourth Wednesday of each month. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Bybee are presidents of the group. |
