"Does n.y hamster get lonely?" Does G.J take a nap?" Then there comes a time in grade school that we all remember. The time when we dont understand something, but were afraid to raise our hands. Were afraid everyone else knows the answer. Were afraid to look dumb. (Remember your relief when Cedar City. Our team is very young, he says. But he does think the Templars will place well in the standings. mum. American Heart Association someone else asked the question you wanted to ask?) For many young people, it turns around in high school. The questions once again are hammered out, but the answers are not as easy to nail down. The questions take on a Why do we have to ..." tone. The challenge is to societal customs and family traditions. But its still important the questions come back. The most successful teachers, the most encouraging parents, are the ones who delight in a good question asked. They praise it. They ponder over it. They value it They give it some of their time.

Disruption of utility service is one inconvenience people worry about when they think about earthquakes. It is surprising to many to learn that natural gas systems often can ride out an earthquake with little or no damage. The steel and plastic pipelines that make up Mountain Fuels system are flexible enough to withstand significant earth movement partnership between private business and the tourism and recreation industry; and develop pride in the state and the counties.

If an earthquake occurs, customers should turn offtheir natural gas meters if: they smell gas; they hear gas escaping; or there is structural damage to the building. Customers should not attempt to turn their meter back on themselves. Natural gas meters should only be turned on by properly trained Mountain Fuel employees. Before an Earthquake People can take steps to prepare their homes for the possibility of earthquakes. For example, gas water heaters can be secured by bolting them to the floor or by strapping them against a wall. They should not be tied to natural gas lines. Also, gas ranges that have double ovens or a microwave on top should be secured to the wall behind to help keep them from toppling over. Metal flex connectors should be used to connect gas appliances to gas lines. (There are two types of flexible connectors approved for such connection: double-wal- l brass and aluminum and single-wastainless steel.) This allows for movement of an appliance without breaking a fixed connection. It also is a good idea to use flexible copper tubing to connect the water heater to the water lines. ll After an Earthquake Check house piping and appliances for damage. Check for fires or fire hazards. Do not use matches, lighters or other open flames. Do not operate electrical switches, appliances or battery-operate- d devices if natural gas leaks are suspected. This could create sparks that could ignite gas from broken lines. reflects initiative and leadership on the part of the young man. The goal for 1992 in this Council, he said, is 1700 Eagles earned. He encourages parents to support their boys in Scouting activities and to feel free to contact the Scout office. |
