We'd heard some real horror stories about what condition they'd be in. but they had been well taken care of in an orphanage in Seoul. They had and were good hygiene habits healthy," observed the delighted mother. The Rhodes family is not wealthy -Jim is general manager of Utah Industrial Trucks in Salt Lake City -but the little orphans have not been used to such a variety of good food and clothing.

Korean and love. When they picked up Christopher Yang, Mark Yang and Ma I hew Yang at the Los Angeles Airport, the Rhodes family increased from five to eight in one swoop. The three young boys were Korean orphans until Jim and Carol, with the aid of "Hope of Utah" made arrangements to adopt the handsome lads from Seoul. Hope of Utah is an adoptive parents organization whose chief function is to find good homes for Korean orphans. "We had four children the regular way - all homemade - then we We adopted John, our got him in Arizona," smiled Carol. "Our imports came to us the 29lh of Another surprise for the Rhodes family was when a nephew, Kevin Johnson, came to live with them just four days after their Korean children arrived. Jjm and Carol's oldest children are Michael, 19, who will depart for an LDS mission in the Netherlands next week; Kathy Lynn, 21, who will be married April 12; Jan, who married Scott Lamb; and the oldest, Alan, who is the assistant manager of Allen's Super Save in American Fork.

" The Rhodes encountered another obstacle when they discovered little John was allergic to milk. They immediately found that goat milk agreed with him and so now the goat business is another family enterprise. L $50,000 obligation was also turned down. The golf course committee is requesting that the three cities Lehi, American Fork and Pleasant Grove - borrow the money from the Bank of American Fork for use in filling a ditch that runs in front of the first tee. Representing Chief Berl Peterson, Karl Zimmerman presented a need for the council to consider parking at the Vet's Ball Park. Baseball season will soon be underway, and a number of fans enjoy parking along the north side of Saratoga Road to watch the games. Such action creates hazards, especially for kids coming out of the park onto the highway. Therefore, the police would like the council to take action to improve the situation by moving the fence to the north to allow for motorists to angle park and be far enough off the road to avoid problems. The council directed Karl Webb to look into the possibility of moving the. fence and installing a new chain link fence. . Concern was voiced by City Engineer Lorin Powell that such action needs to be coordinated with the proposed curb and gutter installation along tiiat road, and that whatever action was taken, the State Department of Transportation would have to be contacted. Two cable television companies made presentations to the council as to why each should be awarded a franchise to bring cable TV to Lehi . The first company was Acton Cat, Inc. The second was Community Cable TV. Both offer basically the same service. Each would offer from 18 to 20 channels, and each has Home Box Office, while Community offers Show Time. The costs, depending on how much of the service is taken, runs from $7.50 to $25.00 per month. Councilman Joe Shelton made the motion in Tuesday's meeting to turn the request down, along with any further funding for the course until the mayor and council have an opportunity to look at the next year's fiscal budget. If the city were to participate in golf course improvements, it would be obligated for $4,000 for the next four years. In the past, the city has been paying $4,000 per year for capital improvements on the golf course and $13,000 for one city employee to work at the course full time. Councilmen Shelton, Haws and Sampson voted in favor of the motion for no further funding. Former Mayor Morris Clark appeared before the council Im- The association would like to install $20,000 worth of new metal bleachers at the rodeo grounds for the upcoming season. However, concern was voiced that if the city were planning on moving the rodeo grounds in the near future, the association would not go to the expense and work of the installation at this time. Mayor Singleton assured Mr. Clark that, though the city had discussed moving the facility, and would like to do so, the city is not in a position at this time to lease or buy any ground where the rodeo grounds could be moved. Mr. Clark also concurred that it would be wise if the rodeo grounds could be moved, because of the congestion at the present site. The council indicated it would be quite some time in the future before such action would be taken. P.E. Ashton, owner of the building that houses Pykettes, appeared before the council to make an informal request to purchase ground the city owns between Pykettes and the National Guard Armory. Ashton would like to expand the present facility by 12,000 square feet. He plans to expand north to the sidewalk, west 20 feet, and south to the road, which would mean the National Guard motor pool would be moved. Mr. Ashton has made arrangements to buy ground from Merril Busk that he will trade to the National Guard for Search efforts continued Wedwoman who nesday for a had walked away from a Lehi nursing home the day before. Lt. Owen Quarnberg of the Sheriff's Office said Ada Moxley was last seen at Larsen's Nursing Home about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday. She is described as about 5'7" tall, 120 pounds, with white hair. When last seen she was wearing turquoise slacks and sweater. Sheriff's deputies and the Lehi Police searched the area around the nursing home Tuesday afternoon and evening, along with volunteers. The Utah County Jeep Patrol joined the search effort Wednesday morning and were conducting a ground search. Lt. Gary Clayton said Mrs. Moxley is from Los Angeles, California, and had been at the nursing home only since last Friday.

Lowell Ponte, writing in the Reader's Digest, reveals that artificial light can upset a host of delicate natural balances: that it can affect the ability of the body to absorb calcium, that it can heighten a person's susceptabilily to skin cancer and even produce the biological changes similar to those caused by physical stress. "Unnatural light may already have altered the lives of millions of women throughout North America and Western Europe," Ponte observes. "Girls in these lands are now reaching sexual maturity months or years younger than their grandmothers did." Richard J. Wurtman, director of at of Massachusetts Institute Technology, says, "Little has been done to protect citizens against potentially harmful, or biologically inadequate light. Both government and industry have been satisfied to allow people to serve as the unwitting experiment on subjects in a long-terenthe effects of artificial-lightin- g vironments on human health." And yet proper use of light can enhance health, prevent disease and even heal, Ponte writes. "Herpes can neuroendocrine laboratory the white be treated with flourescent light. Blue light can help cure one kind of jaundice in premature babies. And psoriasis can be remedied by giving a patient a drug that increases his sensitivity to light and then exposing the skin to special ultraviolel radiation." Ponte suggests that individuals and society should take certain protective steps: The public should be informed of the potential hazards of artificial light. Since the Food and Drug Administration has determined that radiation from flourescent lamps can increase the risk of skin cancer in sensitive individuals, the government could require warning labels on these lamps and recommend measures to reduce the hazard. Offices, factories and schools could minimize the risks by using flourescent lamps more closely resemble which sunlight, rather than the narrow spectrum "cool white" most commonly used.

Both companies indicated that such movies are shown later at night, and television sets hooked to Home Box Office are equipped with a locking device to prevent children from watching such movies. The city, in action several years ago, granted a franchise for cable TV to a company called Jefferson Cable Vision, which was in association with BFM Constructors. Both concerns have since gone bankrupt, and Acton has taken over many of the franchises owned by Jefferson.

"A student may receive VA payments during the interval between a summer term or session and any other term or session provided the interval doesn't exceed 30 days," said Elmer J. Smith, director, Salt Lake City VA Regional Office. "Veterans attending school should plan ahead to avoid any hardships relating to intervals," Smith added. "In the past, many veterans have used the VA payment for the interval between summer and fall terms to pay for their fall tuition and fees. If the period exceeds 30 days, payment no longer can be made."
