(AP) A cocktail waitress walked -11 miles through snow to get help for her diabetic mother and wheelchair-boun- d grandmother after their car became stalled on a remote Utah mountain. "I do a lot of walking in my job so I knew I would make it as long as nothing got me along the trail," Susie Osburn said Friday. Rescuers in a vehicle found the two older women shivering but unhurt in their Toyota at the ve mountain's 9,000-fo- level ot Thursday morning. Osburn's trek down the mountain was their only hope for rescue, said Piute County Sheriff Brent Gottfredson. "The only people up there this time of year would be an occasional trapper or something," Gottfredson said. "It would have been a long time before anyone would have found them." Osburn, 33, said her mother was hyperventilating and her grandmother was having severe chest pains after the car got stuck in snow about 10 p.m. Wednesday on a gravel road in southern Utah. The three were returning from a day trip to Bryce BetCanyon when turn took a Osburn wrong ty in the dark.

Ten Chinese educators inspect Utah system SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Ten top Chinese education officials are in Utah gathering ideas to help their country reform education, and they have learned the U.S Air Force Academy is one school that closely matches their sys- tem. "The situation in China is totally different," said tour co- - ordinator Mikel G. Edwards. "The central or provincial gov-erme- nt government rigidly controls education. "The only U.S. school we are visiting that closely fits their model is the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, which is a federally owned and con- trolled university," Edwards said.

(AP) Inon halted traffic troopers terstate 84 south of Baker long enough to let an airplane that landed on the highway with four people aboard take off. Nobody was injured when the light airplane touched down on the freeway shortly after 8 a.m. Friday. Oregon State Police Sgt. Randy Windsor said the aircraft snapped a telephone line as it landed. The falling telephone line damaged a passing car. Lit- - Fog forced pilot David tlefield, 32, of Pocatello, Idaho, to land on the freeway.

When the school put the system into use this week for the first time, students attempting to call a computer to register overwhelmed Rexburg's telephone system on Thursday. Mountain Bell spokesman Steve Guerber, Boise, said Friday Rexburg usually has about 88,000 attempted or completed petelephone calls per riod. On Thursday, 220,000 calls were recorded. In one ute period in the afternoon, 24-ho- ur Dwight Mauch, Idaho, of Ida- Falls. n- there were 33,200 attempted calls, Guerber said. Registration was open all week, he said, but apparently many students attempted to call the computer at the same time. That overwhelmed the local system, he said, blocking longdistance calls and delaying local dial tones for a time. Mountain Bell may suggest registration in alphabetical order or some other change to ease the overloads next time, Guerber said. Ricks College is a private, school operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints. two-ye- ar Hunter's license pulled for 'gross' violation A BOISE. Idaho (AP) Meridian man who was caught with up to 56 ducks in his pickup truck in 1985 has lost his hunting privileges until 1990 for what could be the most flagrant duck hunting violation in the Pacific Northwest. Paul Girdner was convicted last year by an Elmore County jury of exceeding the state bag limit for mallard drakes and hens. His hunting privileges were revoked last month after he lost an appeal of that conviction. Authorities believe Girdner, clears big hurdle for Utah SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -The Air Force's withdrawal of objections to one of Utah's two proposed sites for the superconducting supercollider clears a hurdle from the state's bid for the $6 billion yia SS IfiP Air Force Secretary E.C.

"I am very pleased that after thorough consideration of all available information, the Air Force has agreed to drop the objections they raised in August to our proposed Cedar Mountains site," Bangerter said Friday.

Betty Osburn remembered she had seen a tiny town several miles before they got stuck in the snow, which was 2 feet deep on the mountain from a recent storm. They decided Susie Osburn would follow the gravel road down the mountain at first light in hopes of finding the town. Osburn made it to Junction in slightly more than three hours, walking as quickly as she could through the snow. On the way she was spooked by a herd of deer that ran by her and a mountain lion that trailed her for several miles. conflicts can be resolved, regardless of which of Utah's SSC sites are selected by the Department of Energy," he said. Rep. Wayne Owens, said he welcomes the Air Force's willingness to cooperate with Utah throughout the supercollider selection process. "As I said a few week.- ago, Utah's Congressional delega- tion and its governor will speak with one voice on this matter," Owens said. "I feel that as long as Utah's selection as a site for the SSC, or for the proposed electronic combat testing range remains undecided, it is not reasonable for the Air Force to imply the state should be willing to make a choice between one or the other." Ripple Valley remains a problem for the Air Force, although Aldridge said he would not press his objections unless that site is named a finalist for the supercollider by the Energy Department. "Based on our evaluation, it is clear that any proposed site west of this (Cedar Mountains) site will further compound the difficulty of resolving potential conflicts. The degree of difficulty will increase as the proposed site moves west," Aldridge said. Bangerter said he believes those concerns also can be resolved. "It is fair to say, however, that the Air Force is not as confident as I am that a thorough analysis will read to the resolution of their concerns regarding Ripple Valley," he said. fr 1 fjk Fresh Lemons Ad Prices Effective November 15th-17t560 West Center St., Provo 2255 N.
