It rarely makes a sound, but it stands guard night and day, ready to warn you if a fire starts in your home. Have you solved the riddle? Last week, many students in school across American knew the answer- - a smoke detector. Since the late 1970s many homes have added smoke detectors to protect families against fire. However, most of us take our smoke detectors for granted without checking their batteries or replacing them when needed. Fire experts now s 'ggest that smoke detectors be tested every month and replaced e . ery 1 0 years. Ferron Elementary students learned this week was to keep themselves and their families fire safe. From escape routes to smoke detectors to crawling below the hot smoke, students learned how they and their family members can be protected from die dangers of house fires. Students also successfully completed a fire di ill with lots of firemen watching and evaluating. To complete the week, volunteer personnel from the fire department biought fire engines and other equipment to the school. At lui ;h recess students learned how firemen use the equipment to help when emergencies arise.

We are now in the midst of a nationwide epidemic of whooping cough, 5,000 to 6,000 cases- - and this disease can be very devastating, the physician said. If we stop immunizing, we render the population susceptible because these diseases are prevalent elsewhere in the world and can be brought to this country by travelers, Christenson cautioned. SUU offers tours to prospective students Guided visits to the Southern Utah University (SUU) campus for prospective students are being offered to serve two major purposes, according to representatives of the universitys school relations office. First, we want students who are considering attending SUU to become acquainted with the university and its programs to help determine if theyll be happy here, Asai Gilman, assistant coordinator ofschool relations, said. Then, of course, we want' to attract students to the university, to show them what we are all about and help them make better informed choices should they want to enroll. We look at each of the two goals as being a service to prospective students. Campus tours can be arranged between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day the university is in session. Appointments are scheduled through the school relations office, Parents are welcome and encouraged to accompany their sons or daughters on visits. Typically, a campus tour is conducted either by a member of the school relations staff or a member of the SUU Presidential Ambassadors, a student service organization. The tour normally includes a visit with an academic representative, an introduction to student support services available, and a look at students activities. Campus buildings, grounds and landmarks are visited, with special attention to the individual visitors interests. We try hard to answer all the questions and concerns of the visitor. Hopefully our service is valuable in helping a prospective student understand more about this postsecondary education option, assistant Sandy coordinator ofschool relations, said.

Also, students receive ribbons for being super student and student of the week. Two students in each class are chosen to receive these ribbons at the end of each week for positive class behavior and using their class time wisely. There's a display of last year's achievers in the lunch room, and we are proud of each one for the hard work they do to receive these awards. Students are using the computers each day as part of their every day routine in math and reading skills. We are grateful to have the access and funding for such necessary instruments for our students in such a small community. There is a computer in each classroom that is networked back to the computer lab. In the cafeteria our cooks have received gas stoves. The school lunch program is striving to serve healthy meals and ad Y i I United States by the end of the 1980s) were reported in this to lower the fat content as w'ell as lower sugar and sodium content without altering the quality of the good just recipes they serve. Oct. 21 will be clean-u- p day. Sixth grade students have adopted the Cleveland high- way between mile post three and five. Other students will be helping that day to clean up the school grounds and community to help keep our area looking great. On Halloween immediately after school the PTO has put together another Halloween Carnival which lasts until 6:30 p.m. Halloween Day starts our School Spirit Week. Monday dress up is "anything goes," but masks are not accepted. Nov. 1 is Cowboy Day, Nov. 2 is Sleepy Day, Nov. 3 school is in recess for parentteacher conference, Nov. 4 there are three options: Wacky Hair, Mismatch Clothes, or School Colors. Have a happy Halloween and remember to play safe. 1 Emery High School Student of the Week wiwi i : - Cv 1 i i r) 5 C I t 2 V I I H 'I , t A 1 4 i i 1 I 1 U ! the lowest anil most amamg hoi u euit 1 edit line introduc toi rate in ton n II on thong h. , mme was a good rate, inns Hank now has a i ate that s below pi line we n not talking pist a few measK tenths In low We re talking wa. w a below In a n st on II rei ei e a great rate ot 2"u below nne on our home equit line ol i refill lot si' months following the origination ol his js ihhukwuuhjwbp" it The Emery High faculty has named Adam Thomas Student of the Week i our lint ol 1 edit that s not enough to get vou on the phone with a Zions Bank loan representative light this minute, tonsidei that a Zions Bank home vou to hoiiovv monev and deduct the interest horn tom taxes (Subject to IRS regulations, ol course See your tax advisor to eipiitv iiidit line will tost vou nothing no title lees, no are There insurance open appraisal fees, no origination fees, no riling lees No lies period Meanwhile don't forget the tax advantages ol a home equity credit line Loans secured In vom home are virtually the only way left lor lor rnor e details II pet rod And it's good news Based on vour ratio (the total seemed amount by your home, divided by vour homes value11) your rate will still ,11 ink is (t)uil lo IIS twse i.at as tit lined in Ju l.iin ,l mm in m,.n la, h sc ill i , IC t lilt ax months tiler tmii loan Ii, (.m. t n n .
