To put in our spa, we just wrote checks on our Five Tooele Seniors Receive Awards CSB The Ray Herrera Memorial Scholarships were presented by SOCIO to five Tooele County Seniors on Wednesday, May 11, at their annual awards dinner. Lou Arellano, SOCIO President, welcomed the recipients and their families. Among the guests who were in attendance were: Father Joseph Fitzgerald, Pastor of St. Marguerites, Rudy Ruybal, Administrative Assistant to State Superintendent of Instruction; Ma- - Equi-Line- .' y , rion Carter, Tooele County Sheriff; Jim Esparza, Governors Advisory Council, and Dr. Orlando Rivera. Dr. Rivera, Academic Vice-Preside- nt at the University of Utah, gave the keynote address. An honorary award was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Roger Her- - rera in tribute to their son, the late Ray Herrera. Ray Herrera pursued excellence in every endeavor he undertook both in and out of the school setting. SOCIO members were very proud to have raised $1400 for the years scholarships through various fund raising activities. Scholarship recipients were Ri- chard Valdez and Mark Flores from Grantsville High School; Wayne Pacheco, Raymond Sandoval and Matt Trujillo, from Tooele High School. Matt Trujillo was presented the outstanding student scholarship for academic achieve- ment, community involvement and leadership. American Legion Says "Wear A Poppy On Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21, all of us will be asked to wear a red memorial poppy. As most of you know, once each year Americans observe Poppy Day which is a voluntary tribute to our dead and disabled servicemen. By accepting one of these poppies from a member of the American Legion Auxiliary or some other volunteer we aid the living victims of the past wars while honoring the dead. The poppy grew in the battlefields of France and Belgium where American servicemen have fallen during two World Wars. In the years following the First World War the poppy came to be recognized as natures tribute to the war dead, and it was soon adopted as the American Legion and Auxiliarys official i i rate Since the Equi-Lin- e is so good, we use it every time we need to ' borrow money.

Volunteers who offer the pop- unlike the dispies to the public abled veterans receive nothing tangible for their work. However, these workers gain satisfaction from their contributions to a program which honors the war dead while assisting the living. Money dropped into contribution boxes in exchange for poppies goes directly to the welfare activities of the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary; all funds are used for the aid of disabled veterans, their families, and the families of deceased servicemen. "Understanding the purpose of Poppy Day, Mrs. Dow stated, "I am sure all of us will consider it a privilege to wear a poppy again this Friday and Saturday on Poppy Day.

He calls a small different ways. Wear a poppy on Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21, to Honor the Dead and Aid the Living. Computerized Mine Gas Interpretation Developed By College of Eastern Utah CEU instructor, Jay Fairbanks, has designed the first computer program to expedite the process of gas interpretation for quicker response to mine emergencies. Fairbanks explains that "Coal mine fires may be the most difficult type of fire to control. There is often enough fuel to burn for years. The intense heat, poisonous gases, and dense smoke combined with underground mine conditions are complications that can make firefighting extremely dangerous and difficult. Correct firefighting decisions must be made to ensure the safety of the firefighters and prevent catastrophic loss. When the fire cannot be observed, the only way to obtain information about the fire is by analysis and interpretation of the mine air." Sometimes this can be accomplished in hard to reach places by drilling a hole through the overburden to extract a gas sample in the fire area. Once the mine fire ft Who are the nations mentally retarded citizens? Where do they live? What do they do? How many American families are affected by mental retardat- ion? Commercial tunity to support themselves and their families; and it offers them a productive pasttime with which to combat long hours in the hospital area around his bed home. The one bright spot in his lackluster life is the few hours he spends in the Auxiliary Poppy Shop, painstakingly assembling the flowers, petal by petal. This quiet, withdrawn man earns a paycheck, a few dollars a month, allowing him to buy a candy bar, an ice cream cone, or some other treat in the hospital canteen. Its all he has to look forward to. To him, its a lot. Walter B. couldnt hear. The veteran had no money. He was not eligible for a hearing aid from the government. World War I had ended the day after he was drafted, eliminating him from many benefits. He was like many veterans who "fall through the cracks and are beyond the usual channels of assistance. He got his hearing aid, through the American Legion Auxiliary through the generosity of people who contribute to the Poppy Fund and the women who volunteer. There are many Johns and Walters, men and women who need the American Legion Auxiliary Poppy program in a thousand samples have been taken and the analyses made by methods such as the gas chromtograph at CEU, a computer can quickly and accur- ately interpret the data, make projections, provide relevant graphs and print reports. The computer used for this study is the Apple II Plus with monitor, disk drive and printer. Hie operator enters the mine gas sample analysis. Then the computer uses estab- lished formulas to develop interpretations. " Tricketts ratio determines the reliability of the sample and identifies what is burning by analyzing the methane content of the sample. "Explosibility is computed and graphed against time so projections may be visually made, the index for carbon monoxide is used to determine the effectiveness of firefighting measures. "The size Of the fire is determined by computing the fuel consumed in pounds per minute. The computer can tell how hot a fire is burning, whether it is wood, coal or gas that is burning, how many pounds of coal are burning per minute, and if the procedures being taken are helping to increase or decrease the burning fire. "The computer uses this data to choose appropriate interpretations which are printed in a report This program may soon become an important tool to the mining industry to facilitate an adequate, fast, and safe response to mine fires. Previously only a person who could understand and interpret gases was able to analyze the gases of a burning fire. Now, Fairbanks program is particularly efficient because the operator need not be trained in mine gas interpretation, yet can produce complete records. Eventually, the program may be used nationwide to provide interpretations for all mine gas samples throughout the mining industry and become an important contribution to the handling of mine fires. Outlines Impact Of Retardation e. To see how you can qualify for the poppy program gives many men their only oppor- ! e i for Mrs. Betty Dow, American Legion Auxiliary Poppy Chairman, announces that the poppy you will wear on Poppy Day has an even greater significance than the flowers which bloomed on the battlefields of Europe. These memorial poppies you will be offered have been made in hospitals and workshops where the suffering of war still exists. The disabled veterans who make these flowers are able to gain a dual benefit from their work 99 This and other related Information is included in "The Prevalence of Mental Retardation, an Association for Retarded Citizens (ARC) adaption of Robert P. Ingalls "Mental Retardation: The Changing Outlook." A summary of the best preva- lence studies available Indicates that 2.S to 3 percent of the general population is mentally retarded. Based on 1980 census figures, that estimate ranges from 5.6 to 6.7 million Americans. In fact, the prevalence of mental retardation is exceeded only by four other major health problems mental illness, heart diseases, arthritis and cancer. Included in the booklet are major areas of prevalence. Among these are malefemale ratios, age differences and socioeconomic tors. The latter is of primary facim- portance since researchers have determined an obvious relationship between poverty and mental retardution. The booklet also describes the many problems in determining prevalence of retardation, despite the fact that todays statisticians have ultra- - sophisticated measur- ing tools. Simply put, not everyone with a low IQ is retarded. Researchers have found, too, that most mentally retarded persons refuse to fit neatly into one category or another. Methods of testing Intelligence frequently fail to show how a particular individual has adjusted to the environment and made a place for him- self.
