Frequent visitors to the area, Winegar and Wakefield became concerned and began asking for contributions from friends in America to save the land. Bv CHRISTI C. EVANS Herald Staff Writer This January two Provo men will will be wishing a rain forest in Samoa happy birthday. One year ago Jim Winegar and Dan Wakefield, along with sever- al other businessmen, raised The village leaders entered into a covenant with the group of American businessmen to pre- -' serve their rain forest from destruction for 50 years. This was done for approximately $1.85 per acre. enough money to save 30,000 acres of pristine rain forest land from being destroyed by timber companies. In January Winegar and Wakefield will travel with other interested parties to visit the rain forest again one year after its preservation. "I'm gonna get out there and sing happv birthdav to that forest," Wakefield said. Citizens in a small town on the island of Savai'i, part of the Falealupo peninsula in Western Samoa, were forced to lease sur "It's an anniversary, introduc- tory trip," Winegar said. The two men will travel to Samoa with people who were present last year, as well as others interested in saving rain forests. Wakefield said, "Lots of people, if they knew this was going on, would want to be involved. "There's hardly any issue more up right now than worldwide preservation," Wakefield said. Dates for the trip are Jan. 27 through Feb. 5, 1990. Cost is approximately $1,500 and those interested may contact Winegar, or Wakefield, Jensen-Baro- n Travel, Paul A. Cox of Brigham Young University will be the host at the Falealupo rain forest site. He will discuss the ecobotanical implications of the rain forests in Samoa and the world with visitors. Last year heavy rains on the Samoan Islands caused extreme run off which clouded rivers and swept mud into the sea. Foresters had removed a great amount of rain forest life, leaving nothing to hold the soil in place. Such run off can cause irreparable damage 225-192- 9; 373-792- 3; 355-880- Orem breezes through its annual audit Bv SHARON MORREY Herald Staff Writer Orem breezed through its fourth annual independent financial audit without major problems, reported auditors to the city council last week. However, the auditors recommended some minor changes such as suggesting the recreation and public works departments get departmental cash receipts to the bank more promptly. It was also suggested the city return to an imprest payroll ac count to establish better internal controls over the payroll. An imprest payroll account requires a loan or advance monetary amount to be in place in anticipation of meeting the payroll. Major landfill .customers are delinquent in paying their accounts and the auditors advised charging late fees to those customers. "It is a pleasure to work with a city that's well run and managed well," said Mark Stevens of Haskins & Sells to the city council. De-loit- te Stevens and associate Doug Angus said they would recommend the cash in city coffers move more quickly and a few surprise audits would be in order, but overall, the city got good marks. "Your resources are being spent as budgeted. We see no major problems and only make recommendations as necessary to comply more completely with federal laws," added Angus. City Manager Daryl Berlin noted in his memorandum to the council that although the city concluded the fiscal year June 30, 1989, in a sound financial condition, there are areas of concern. Berlin listed an economy that's coupled with continued demands for more services and facilities as challenges that lie ahead. He included the potential erosion into the city's revenue base by state legislative action. Berlin said that due to economic development efforts over the past few years, city reserves need to be rebuilt. slow-growi- George Pfeifer Angelina Witbeck Ruth Kennington 1964.

National obituaries By The Associated Press Eric Purdon - full-tim- n Ellen Nicholls Herald Staff Writer In order to strenghthen the family, a BYU professor advised single and married students Friday to have an eternal perspective. Lynn Scoresby, associate professor of Family Sciences at BYU, said those who have families and those who will have them in the future should teach themselves to prepare for and commit to the idea that a marriage is forever. "We give lip service to that idea, but we do not go about preparing for that experience in any other way than do people who see families as temporary," said Scoresby. For instance, he said, church officials assign girls to talk on the way seminary prepares them for marriage and boys on how seminary prepares them for missions. "If that is an example of what we do, then we can see why many women marry men who are more commited to being productive than they are to participating in an eternal union," he said. If families had an eternal perspective, its members would recognize that parenthood is the work most like that of God whose self description was to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man, he continued. "This means to me that our principle task is to promote the development of human life toward some ideal of increased quality and maturity," he added. This means that the most important knowledge parents can obtain is how children develop and what they can do to promote it, he continued. But to Scoresby, "our concept of of the law rather than any act which prevents the development of a human toward a higher level of life. We talk more about being active in church programs than being righteous. We say more about going to the temple than we do about reverencing that which is sacred. We want people to get their home teaching done without teaching the vision that at its best it is an act of love that can nourish the growth of those who give and those who receive," he said. The family has a significant role in the plan of salvation which por- trays men as eternal rather than temporal beings, "God has described that it is his work and his glory to bring to pass the eternal life of man,' he said. The family is designed to fulfill many significant roles in that overall task. For one thing, the individual must be nurtured in order to survive. But this, he said, requires attention, sacrifice, and devotion to a child. "We must guide, teach and explain (to our children)," he said. "We can either assume it is natural and will take place by itself and as parents merely watch it take place or we can decide that the forces of development only motivate and we must cultivate, direct and channel to achieve certain outcomes." Families are very complex and it is easy for some parents to assume their success in raising a family can be measured by getting their children under control and follow the rules, he said. Women sought by police for taking checkbooks Obituaries Ruth M. Kennington, 55, died Sunday, Dec. 3, 1989, from injuries received in an automobile accident. She was born Oct. 21, 1934, in Afton, Wyo., to George Seward and Martha Weber Kennington. She was raised and received her elementary and secondary education in Afton. After high school graduation in 1952 she attended Brigham Young University, where she graduated in 1956 in nursing. She received her master's degree in nursing from the University of Washington in sin is still the transgression By SHEILA SANCHEZ to surrounding reefs and other sea hie, Wakefield said. Destruction of sea life would break the food chain of Samoa and destroy the currently intact culture of the Samoan people. ' If the food chain goes, they would become dependent on the asphalt jungle of the Western world," Wakefield said. The men are also concerned about animals living in the rainforests, such as the flying fox bat, which would likely become extinct with the forests' elimination. "Once it's gone, the forest will never grow back," Wakefield said. "It's taken hundreds and hundreds of years to get to the state it is." Lush ground cover would prevent the tall, magnificent trees that exist now from growing again, Wakefield said. Eric S. PurHARWOOD, Md. (AP) don, a retired Navy commander who helped integrate blacks into the Navy's regular ranks, died Saturday of prostate cancer at age 76. Blacks were usually restricted to being mess attendants before the experiments in desegregation during World War II on ships such as Purdon 's submarine chaser, the PC1264.

One of the crewmen on the ship was Samuel Lee Gravely Jr., who became the first American black admiral After World War II, Purdon was an intelligence analyst for Central Intelligence Group, the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency, until 1948, when he was recalled to active duty in the Navy.
