ACCORDING to Mrs. Schalafly, the ERA would have no effect in some areas such as employment, where laws are already but would have tremendous effect in other areas such as the military. A Constitutional amend- -' ment would give the power of enforcement to the federal government and this would take away about 70 percent of the powers now held by state and local governments, Mrs. Schalafly said. best-sellin- ' ,y' h' V - v- - ' ni fc K --StP , were Schlafly, national president of ' their support of the Pro-Fami- , PRO-Fami- : KITTY Werthmann who lived in Austria under Nazi rule, said every socialist and communist nation has an 4 equal rights amendment.

Cross of East Layton was awarded the Handicapped Utahn of the Year Award Thursday, April 12, at a special Golden Key Awards Luncheon held at the Salt Lake Hilton Hotel. Mr. Cross, a Vietnam veteran who is paralyzed from the waist down, was presented this distinguished award by Rep. Gunn McKay. GOLDEN THE Key program is sponsored annually by the Governors Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, the Utah State Division of Rehabilitation and the Utah State Board of Education. Others honored at the Golden Key Awards program were Maurice Bowman of Orem who is blind; H. Paul Mendanhall of Lehi and Steward of Salt Lake City who are both Steven C. afflicted with cerebral palsy. IN THE late 1960s, 18 year old Dan Cross enlisted in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper. He was assigned to Vietnam. Enemy lines were not clearly defined and the jungle terrain made it difficult for paratroopers to operate efficiently. Dan made only one jump. His special training, however, qualified him to serve on the front lines in the heaviest combat zones. ONE DAY, a sniper's bullet tore Dans spine. Pain, numbness, passing out, coming to and realizing he couldn't move are still very real sensations Dan feels and relives constantly. An emergency airlift Dan to the nearest hospital. Two weeks later he carried was transferred to Japan, paralyzed from the neck down. Before the stateside move to a hospital in Valley Forge, Pa., was made, Dan slowly began to regain feeling in the upper part of his body. DAN UNDERWENT a year of therapy at Valley Forge, Pa. and Long Beach, Calif, to help him adjust and make the best of his lite in a wheelchair with his legs paralyzed. Adjusting to life in a wheelchair was not easy. Dan was only 18. He had hoped to play major league baseball. He wondered if he would marry and have a family. DAN HAD met a special Layton girl, Carla Knaak, before he enlisted in the Army. They first became acquainted at a dance in Kaysville when Dans father, a career Air Force officer, was stationed at Hill Field. Daniel C. Cross, of East Layton, is the recipient of the Handicapped Utahn of the Year award. The couple became engaged before Dan left for Vietnam. ' Many young girls would have broken off this engagement but Carla did not. Dan says Carla was remarkable. She shared incredible courage, strength and understanding in dealing with him and helping him after his injury. AND Dan were married in Dec. of 1969. Today, they live in a one-levCARLA home with wide halls and special bathroom facilities. They have two children, 7 year old Carrie and 5 year old Heather. The Cross family also share their home with two dogs Muffins and Siesta and two cats. The East Layton home was built with the help of the Veterans Administrat- ion. AFTER DAN had strength back into his arms and hands, he was faced with the decision of finding an occupation. He enrolled at Stevens Henager College, earning degrees in both accounting and business managment. Searching for a job was a depressing experience. Many people felt a wheelchair person couldnt do the job. FINALLY, DAN was hired for a part-tim- e job at Hill AFB. This beginning has turned into a full-tim- e rewarding job as a supply clerk at the base. Although the job takes a great deal of research and desk work, Dans supervisor says he doesnt ask for nor receive any special privileges. In fact, Dan takes extra pride in his work and in helping others. He participates in many projects like the Santa Helpers drive. THE SNIPERS bullet shattered the dreams of a professional baseball career for Dan but it didnt stop him from participating in sports. His wife said last year Dan Although the Austrian women first believed equal rights was the frosting on the cake, the women in reality lost rights they already had and found out the hard way the cake underneath was rot- ten."
