I&R lists those agen cies as receiving many of the about 2.000 handled last year. Many calls also relate to community action programs and that agency's contribution will come through Ms. Dcchart's 1 services. Various government agencies w ere asked to help foot the bill for the service when the county commission refused to extend county support and federal Title 20 monies were slashed. Mental health and council on aging have a government mandate to respond to such a need, with the council on aging formerly operating a referral service prior to the starting of I&R in February of 1976. I&R ACTS as information source to give answers to general questions, such as for rental information or hours of the health department, but also attempts to assist those with problems that could be of a nature, such as where to turn for counseling or medical assistance or help paying a utility bill for a retired senior citizen, for example.

Toys are the teaching tools a child uses to learn about himself and his ow n world. A toy helps a child understand what is happening to him and around him. THE CLASSIC educational value of a toy is to give a child a sense of being in control of some small part of his life. A good toy can challenge the mind, help coordinate the body, tease the imagination, of and teach the things. Today's toys can be highly sophisicated and complex, or they can be quite simple like the timeless wheel or ball. THE WORKING, mechanical toys, even though they leave little to the imagination, give a child a sense of control and management as he manipulates them at will. Toys are miniature realistic models paralleling the real things adults use. Thus, we have the toy car, the scaled-dow- n tea set, and so on. WHEN A child masters the use of a toy, he gains confidence. Toys are a child's first introduction to the adult world for which he is preparing. The toys that are best for one child may not he best for another. To be right, a toy must fit the particular child's interest, size, age and stage of development. -- Pitt of Layton doesn't list i MRS. PITT was raised on a ranch near Goshen, Utah. She chiwas one of a family of ldren. As a child, Mrs. Pitt helped her mother cook meals for the family and for numerous ranch and farm hands. Cooking became a way of life, not a speciality. Mrs. Pitt can remember raising vegetables enough to last the family all winter, curing meat and storing potatoes in large pits. Tomatoes, peaches and other fruits and vegetables were hauled from the fields to the house by wagon loads to be stored, canned or bottled. RANCH LIFE suited Mrs. Pitt. She loved horses, camping. fishing and hunting. She is a charter member of the Boots and Saddle Palamino Riding Club. Mrs. Pitt rode with this group for eight years. 1 1 THOUGH Pres. Roosevelt knew such an attack was possible, though military commanders there had been warned, though an enlisted man on radar watch picked up the incoming raid, and though an intelligence colonel in Washington had concluded the attack was imminent and was struggling with superiors to warn Pearl, the attack was highly successful. The battleship fleet was wrecked. Thousands were killed. Many aircraft were des-- : troyed. But, by good luck, the few U.S. aircraft carriers in the Pacific were not in the harbor that morning. As it turned out, the carriers were the most vital ships in the resulting war, and they turned the tide in June of 1942. at Midway, six months later. She and her husband Leonard are devoted hunters and fishermen. THE PITT family moved to Layton during World War II. Mr. Pitt worked at the Ogden arsenal after he was discharged from the service.

The abdication of responsibilities by the father in American homes, as he chases alter the almighty dollar, has led loa serious breakdown in family behavior, especially juvenile behavior, and to an increase in the number of broken homes. One thing Americans must never forget is that the United Stales is a young country, culturally. and that we still have a lot to learn about living, and the philosophy of living.

(Hitler declared war on American four days after the Jap attack). Few Americans proposed surrender, thus the nation was united. In that sense alone, it was a good time to be an American if one survived the war. The nation was behind its fighting men, the overwhelming majority of citizens sought to do their part.

Mrs. Pitt now teaches an oil painting class at the Lutheran Church on Golden Avenue in Layton. Her favorite subjects are landscapes and nature although she has done some lovely portraits. USING THE skills de- veloped through oil painting, Mrs. Pitt started working at a second hobby, china painting. This unique art requires careful technique. The artist must have a talent for shading, form and colors. The process is and involved. It takes seven bakings at different temperatures to complete one china article. Occasionally, Mrs. Pitt will one of her paintings on a china plate. ABOUT ONE year ago, Mrs. Pitt expanded her art talent into the area of porcelain doll making. This is the most involved of all Mrs. Pitts art efforts. The dolls are carefully trimmed with cotton lace that is treated with pottery slip. The more lace the doll has on her dress, the more difficult the figure is to make. Mrs. Pitt enjoys art. She fills the homes of family members with her creations. Hand-painte- d plates are given as special wedding and birthday presents to close friends and family members. She also sells some of her china plates. RECENTLY, Mr. Pitt bought his wife a kiln so she can now fire her own porcelain creations. Almira Pitt is a very talented and interesting person. The following recipes are proof that cooking can indeed be listed as one of her many lents. ta- REFRIGERATOR ROLLS The dough will keep in the refrigerator for five or six days.
