Learning what it is like to live with a family in a home environment, Golden Kelvin is a Labrador who will become a guide dog for the blind about next ld February. The learning process is taking place in the Taylorsville home of Gerald and Marlene Geil, 2149 W. Espadrille Cir. The active pup, sharing quarters with the Geils part cocker, is cared for mostly by Mrs. Geil and her daughter Shawna. They are participating in a dog obedience project. Other family members helping out are Melanie, 8 and Russell, 18 months. The Utah organization is working in cooperation with Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. in San Raphael, Calif., which provides dogs and training for them and their owners. The canines are placed in homes at the age of three months and stay until they are a year old. They then return to California for six months of schooling before being given to a blind person. The dog and his owner then have a y training period together before being on their own. Mrs. Geil said she and her famiy are encouraged to take the dog wherever they go, such as to the super market and to church, so he will get accustomed to places he might take his blind companion later. There are about 30 dogs like Kelvin in homes throughout central Utah, Mrs. Geil said, adding that it is a worthwhile cause and an en- - Kelvin, a Golden Labrador being trained to help a blind person, has taken a liking to Gerald and Marlene Geil, as well FRIENDS . . . as their son Russell and daughters Melanie and Melissa.

Autism, a condition once considered to be caused by inadequate parenting, is now known to be a neurological disorder.

Women Sought For Technology Courses At UTC TAYLORSVILLE. Women are being encouraged to enroll in technology departments at Utah Technical College. Women of all ages are desperately needed by industry, said Davis Ballard, division chairman of the school of technology and general education. Two of his departments are electronics technology and engineering technology. The school would be happy to have more women enrolled in both areas, he noted. At present there are only 31 women enrolled in the electronics program out of a total enrollment of 614. I suspect the thing that frightens them off is the math content, but the math departcollege has a pre-tec- h ment which can help raise people's math skills and, if a student doesn't immediately meet the math requirement, it is possible to go through the pre-tec- h math classes and get the necessary level of mathematical knowledge. There are currently far more job openings then there are students available to take those positions, even though the electronic technology program at Utech has been booming for several years, said Ballard. It is not unusual for men and women to be earning $20,000 or so when they move in to industry following completion of their technological schooling at Utech, he said. While it is true that there will always be some employers and some job openings which are very much at the low end of the scale, the great majority of our technically trained graduates end up in good paying and rewarding positions, he said. The engineering technology program at Utah Technical College has d been and updated from a former engineering drafting and design technology program, said Ballard. The revised program is strong on computer-assiste- d drafting and design with five different classes in that area offered spring quarter. They include keyboarding, programming, a class using Terak computers and two classes in computer graphics. The high tech program offers both the associate in applied science degree and the associate of science degree. The latter is designed for students who plan on transferring to a four-yea- r college or university with a comparable program. The engineering technology program is one in which young people of both sexes could have a great future, said Ballard. The popular two-yeprogram has enrolled scores of students, he added, graduates are finding comfortable employment In and out of Utah, noted Rand Johnson, placement director. More information may be obtained by calling Mr. Ballard at RESPONSE . . . Young Melissa Geil finds that Golder is helping to train responds quickly to her instructions. Plymouth PTA Leaders Named TAYLORSVILLE. Cindy Shoop will serve as president of the Plymouth elementary PTA for the 1984-8- 5 Job Expo '84 Planned At UTC school year. She will be assisted by Sheryl vice Boyle, president; Jane Handley, secretary and M? I Wilkes, Sheryl TAYLORSVILLE. Job Expo 84 is gearing for action at Utah Technical College. More than 50 major enterprises have already agreed to be represented at the exhibition, which will be held on April 12 in the College Center. The purpose b! Job Expo is to acquaint potential employers and students with each other, said Bryan Gardner, spokesman for Utah Technical College. Since most students will not graduate until June, the intent is not for immediate employment, although in past years some firm commitments have been made. The hope is that students what employers can see first-han- treasurer. jt Mrs. Shoop has served as a roortl mother. She and her husband, Greg, have three children, David, Sandy and Tommy. The Plymouth PTA will meet Thursday, April 5. A 2 p m. presentation of the operetta Sorcerer and Friends by a cast of 60 sixth grade students is planned. SIZES 967-421- L expectations are and personnel officials can look over the latest crop of likely graduates from the college, he said It is the hope of Job Expo organizers that perhaps as many as 100 employers may participate in the affair. This is the third year in which the fair has been held It is organized by the marketing classes within the school of business, but aims to attract a total diversity of businesses so that students from all the schools at the college will find Gardner something of interest, said.
