Of course they are heroes," said Leslie Fiedler "While we are here debating this very issue, some of the young kids who work in the kitchen are sneaking m side doors trying to get autographs of their heroes No, no, said author and film producer Judith Gutman, the movie stars are only celebrities to be feted and adored for awhile and passed by for someone else. They have none of the lasting heroic qualities It probably all boils down to your own individual definition of a hero, said symtiosium members And that was something they could not even agree ujion themselves But whatever the reason, definitions and motivations Either conscious or unconscious we still go to the mov les suid "Heroes are still important, Leslie Fiedler We still go to see them The magic still works OUR READERS' ACTION LINE WHIP to Do It Wan heroes t P0 Bo 1257 Salt Lake City Utah 84110 Other aid is available Id-ig- The romantic, swashbuckling films of the 20s such as those starring Douglas and 30s created heroes. Fairbanks and Mary Pickford We have a young man living with us whose father was killed when he was very young. He received Social Security assistance for his first year of college and then went on a mission for the LDS Church. Now he wants to go back to school, but has learned that he can receive no Social Security after he turns 22. I recall that several years ago Senators Moss and Bennett introduced a bill to permit returned missionaries Iwo more years of eligibility. We have checked with the Social Security office here and also our senator, and cant get an answer to our problem. Mrs. C.G.R., Las egas. Can you. Such a bill was introduced, but thats all No action was taken and it died Your friend s Social Security assistance wall stop at the end of the quarter in which ne turns 22 There are, however, other sources of help Have him check with the financial aids office of the university he plans to attend It s likely he will qualitv for assistant e on the basis of need A missing person We answered a classified ad placed by Hixon Roofing. The roofer repaired our roof, charging $100. We paid this in full. The roofer left us his name and phone number, and wrote "guaranteed for 12 years" on our receipt. There were bad leaks in our roof during the last rainfall. The roofing company refuses satisfac tion. Can you help? E.H.B., Salt Lake City. Whoa1 Hixon Roofing has given us some details you left out. It seems that they specialize in gravel roof repair, and you wanted a wood shingle job. So Mr Hixon referred you to an acquaintance of his, and thats who you hired to do your roof He had no connection with Hixon roofing Shortly after finishing your ob, the roofer apparently left town Mr. Hixon iiasn t been able to locate him for you, and neither have we The Board of Contractors has no roofing contractor licensed under his name, so were at a dead end If you had just taken the time to call the s, hhif tut nml iituii A C-- Board of Contractors and make sure the man was licensed, you likely wouldn't be in this boat.

Do-l-t Man attempts to solve problems, get answers, investigate complaints and cut red tape Write You must sign your name and give your address and telephone number Update your landscape By Lillie Robertson Deseret News garden writer A $1 your garden Homeowners can reduce water requirements by renovating their landscaping Not only will this add beauty to the home and increase its v alue, but sav mg water is the name of the game, especially during the present drought situation The dry areas frequently noticed m lawns and jiarking strips (spate between street and sidewalk are usually due to inadequate wateiing systems said Randy Hoffman USU area hoi tieultun-- t He is leferung to the homeowners who do not have sprinkling systems and use a hose When allowed approximately four hours of watering time a week, itsdittuult to accomplish what is necessary, he added With a sprinkling system, more squaie feet can be coveied and more water applied to a yard than can possibly be done with a hose in the same period of time Even with a sprinkling system there are problems, especially on parking strips Therefore. Mr Hoffman suggests that homeowners may want to seriously c onsider some updating Parking strips always have a tendency to be a sene spot in landscaping They are usually filled in with lawn that must be fertilized, mowed trimmed and wateied Then if anyone cots out of a ear, they step on wet glass Also it s much harder to keep this narrow strip of law n looking lush and green than it is larger expanses of lawn In fact it looks rather tai ky most of the time ssaid Mr Hottman Z The horticulturist suggests doing something about it. such renovating to minimize, or .eliminate, work and maintenance . Tor example, fill m the aiea with colored concrete, or use aggregate c one rete urav el exposed with the 2X1 headers exposed wooden expansion 1 loints Stain the joints if desired If a home is brick the packing strip can be filled in with matching brick which definitely complements the house said Mr Hottman Tree wells can he tt along the strip for small or medium sized trees i r a hoirn owner mav wish to ase redwood planters or c lav nots tilled wall plants instead Msn sud the hortic ulturist ininv homes have leadinu up to the front ' pi, nil c 1!oner e doot s this describes vour house it design it ai ' a-- , , i ! side-walk- make a more attractive entrance, he challenged The same building material as the house can be used, but increase the space, thus cutting down on the amount of lawn to maintain For example, turn a narrow three-foo- t sidewalk into a five-foone Flower beds can be enlarged and enhanced by using special border material and using curves. comers, squares, rectangles and circles Redwood edging has always been popular, easy to work with and requires minimum maintenance, railroad ties provide a setting for casual living with rustic flair, bricks set m concrete provide a permanent, more formal type of setting Other materials that can be used along parking loose decorative rock, or strips and m flower beds c hunk-size- d landscape bark When either of these are used, however, a heavy black plastic should be spread underneath to discourage weed growth Some ground covers that can be used effectively in these narrow strips to cut down on watering include the ice plant, portulaca (rose moss) and sedum Of course, stepping blocks of stone or wood are necessary in walking area to protect the plants Ornamental strawberries (Fragaria chiloensisi make an attractive ground cover, too, as does Mondo grass a clumpy, grayish ornamental grass One of the best ways to cope with the watering limitations being imposed m many areas, said Mr Hoffman, is to install a sprinkling system Whether this is a project or a professional installation job, a timer should be r included This way, said the expert, a will get maximum water efficiency and he also will notice a big difference in his water bill In fact said Mr Hoffman, in a vear s time, the savin :s on water would almost pay for the system and it increases the value of the home considerably . 3 13 South Mam NOTE Members of the Master Gardeners Program are available for speaking engagements for clubs, classes meetings etc , to discuss gardening problems There is no charge for this service For further information contact Randy Hoffman at I SI Extension Center, 5.U 5745 l - - 486-134- 9Rirthie nns'k like rent affordable 14 pmit-- on dvui pi ices ,'U I w ;.'( IN SALT LAKE CITY IN OGDEN Chris & Dick's Lumber 1555 West 3500 South Century Lighting Center 29 31st Street Intermountain Lighting 880 W R voraaie Road Kiesel Sales & Service IN CEDAR CITY Antone s Interiors 1 a 45 No Mo 491 South V p,, nh nt i n n I I I ist li 55 West 200 North, I i 374-176- 0 Redd s 815 f c t I IN PROVO 50 Nur'h & Appl Unvtr-Uta- In s' Looking Fallward . . . with Butte Knit Cc-rt- f IN SPANISH FORK Hamilton Electr'c North V i " The Homestead Aj C 2nd IN ST GEORGE CiPnrninn $n Honn ""r ' r.- F a p u'i ' 'Jr r Planning ahead takes so little effort with a 'little red dress that transcends the seasons.
