There are many answers to this question. Some can be answered by the people who have had broken arms, legs, heart attacks, car accidents and other many harmful experiences. I have a few answers of my own: It gives a person a great feeling to be able to help people who are in danger of losing life or limb. It also makes you feel a little more secure knowing you have the knowledge to help someone in your own family if the need should arise. ' They say an EMT"s worse nightmare is that some day he she will have to work on a family member. On May 17, my son rolled a breaking an arm and his collar bone. Luckily his hip was not broken.

On August 7, 1847, in the Salt Lake Valley, William King fixed it, altering the odometer so it would record a thousand miles distance without being reset Clayton used the repaired, altered instrument to remeasure the pioneer route during his return trip to Winter Quarters in the fall of 1847. It then disappeared from history. Orson Pratt, a mathematician and astronomer, designed the original odometer from an idea suggested by Clayton. Then Appleton Milo Harmon, a carpenter and mechanic, built if from a feed box and scraps of iron, using his pocket knife, a hammer, and other small tools.

Each girl who participated will eventually have been awarded a yard length of wool from the state Wool Growers Auxiliary. These are given at the local level for the girls not going to state and at the state level for state entries. In addition, entrants from South Sanpete were given gift -certificates for the purchase of wool of their choice. Their certificates were made possible by donations from the following local wool growers: Jay and Connie Hansen, John and SueAnn Ockey, Kay and Mary Ann Thomson, Richard and Buelah Christensen, and Carl Lund of Ephraim; Bruce Barton, Gary and Natasha Madsen and Paul Frischknecht of Manti; Ray Terry and Nadine Larson of Ephraim and Ogden, and Paul Helston for Glen Larson, Ephraim.

Theyre hoping for an upturn in the economic cycle, but the prospects for that to . occur arent reassuring. Their concern is shared by many other Sanpeters because Moroni Feed is a major element over-producti- on it has to bring most of its feed in and ship most ofits product out, mainly to the West Coast, transportation costs are higher than in some other turkey producing areas. In fact, he added shipping expenses can add an extra cent, or several cents, to the production costs of a pound of turkey.

Make December 4. by Quig Nielsen Steve Pratt of American Fork, a descendant of Parley P. Pratt, Orsons brother, has built a replica. The replica is attached to the side of a wagon which Steve Pratt also built, and is now in the Museum of Church History and Art across from Temple Square. Also on display is an odometer built, in ,1876 by Thomas G. Lowe, , an LDS settlement missionary from Moenkopi in northern Arizona. Lowe made the odometer to measure the distance between Kanab, Utah, and Moenkopi. In 1876, he donated the gadget to the old Deseret Museum. Now the Loew odometer is displayed on Steve Pratts wagon on the opposite side from the replica of the Clayton instrument The wagon and odometers can be seen in the exhibit A Covenant Restored" in the LDS Museum ofChurch History and Art records.
