Mama, I won again, she exclaimed, gasping for breath and leaning her head on the shoulder of her mother, Mrs. Maurice (Oane) McQuiddy, Stockton, Tooele County. For Kay, Mrs. McQuiddy and hundreds of other persons either participating, handing out medals or cheering in the annual athletic competition for the handicapped it was a day of victories. For many, the winning came in just being able to ride a bus from some distant place in Utah and to join in the fun in the warm spring sun. Dozens afflicted with cerebral palsy, were in wheelchairs. Kay, a student at Utah State Training School, has won medals before in other similar activities. Her mothers medal came in watching her daughter take part in the Special Olympics, an event to which she and others look forward. The Olympics, sponsored by the Utah Cerebral Palsy Association, the Utah Division of Rehabilitation Services and the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation, began Friday morning with motor handicapped games at the stadium and a run by 14 athletes with lighted torches along 13th East and 5th South to the stadium. Opening ceremonies at 2 p.m. featured a parade of participants around the stadium track, introduction of 18 princesses from schools and training centers in Utah, greetings from several officials and awards presentations. Ron Brewer, Edgemont School, Tooele, last years pentathlon winner, carried a lighted torch to officially start the games, which continued through Saturday afternoon. Gary 0.

Wilson told investigators he was eastbound when a pickup truck darted across his lane. He swerved to avoid a collision, ran into a sandy section where the road is being repaired, and into the service station. The truck ran into the service island, uprooting two gasoline pumps and a light pole and disintegrated an attendants shack.

Members of the Citizens Council on Liquor Control cited several examples where private clubs were convicted of liquor law violations, but the commission took no further action against them. Ben Helsten Jr., council chairman, said betw-eeJan. 9 and March 13, 22 private clubs had violations reported against them. To date, only 10 have been heard by the commission. He said many of the hearings before the commission were held several months after the clubs were convicted in local courts, usually of allowing minors to drink inside the clubs. It is amazing the commission has time to work on its rules and regulations but doesnt have time to review these violations, Helsten said. He was referring to the regulations the commission adopted Tuesday and filed with the state archivist Thursday. The council objected to the commission adopting the rules, saying the rules commission when should be left to the new part-tim- e it takes over July 1. William T. Thurman, another council member, said the courts wont convict private clubs, and the commission wont take any action either. The ball is falling between left and center field. Salt Lake Police Capt. Wilford Stoler attended the meetmg and discussed anti-vic- e activities in Salt Lake. He said, If the community ever finds out that children are going into these private clubs there will be a mass lynching. He said minors are moving from taverns to the private clubs which are hard to patrol. During a meeting with the commission Feb. 11, Stoler said he got the impression the commissioners didnt feel inclined to revoke any liquor licenses because they wouldnt be around long. He said such an attitude changes his attitude because if nothing is done about violations then well do other things. Stoler said if the commission would revoke $7,500 bond required of private clubs it would eliminate many problems. exercises graduating class 'Clubs convicted, but kept their licenses' By Roger Puspy Deseret News staff and wind background, ignited a fire in crash.

A typographical error in Fridays article about a dispute over an Environmental Protection Agency study made it seem that the EPA had hired an independent consultant to check on itself. Actually, the Arthur D. Little firm of Cambridge, Mass., was hired by Kennecott Copper Corp. to double-chec- k on the EPA. Also, credit for Kcnnecotts discovery of possible irregularities by EPA was erroneously given to the companys research division in the article, when the study was really made by KCCs computer division. The slips were brought to the attention of the Deseret News ombudsman. |
