Show Pog Tlm-Thurdo- y, Jonuory 28, 1982 Amraoffls&aiF off Each year, the Pennies By The Inch campaign sets out to measure the stature of our compassion for children in need. Used to provide medical care for charity patients at Primary Childrens Medical center, the annual appeal will be conducted February The traditional KSL RadioThon will door-to-do- or 8-2- 0. kick off the campaign on February 8-- 9. Donors are asked to give a penny, nickel, or dollar for the combined heights of all family members Myrl Hamilton is chairman of the 1982 campaign, with Ada Maxfield For the fifth serving as her consecutive year, actor and former football great Merlin Olsen and his wife, Susan, will be honorary chairmen. The goal for 1982 is $1.2 million. In 1981, for the first time in its history, the Pennies campaign raised more than a: million dollars with a total of $1,006,000. All the funds raised are used exclusively for the care of needy children. Physicians donate their services in private charity cases. More than $)1 .8 million was spent on 1,227 children in 1981. We have the opportunity to support Pennies By The Inch, a vehicle insuring help to all needy children who come to Primary Childrens, said Mrs. Hamilton. Lets give, that their need for help might be fulfilled. Lets give with grateful hearts that these children might have better lives. W e must share with those for whom we care, and care that blessings may come because we share. My involvement with Primary Childrens goes back a lot of years, said Mr. Olsen, back to the old Birthday Penny days, so its natural for me to want to help now with the Pennies By The Inch efforts. But its more than that. The work done at Primary Childrens is vitally important to the future of our young research into new and better ways to treat childhood cancer, innovations in birth defects management, improved treatment and care fo premature infants, advances in ways to treat multiple trauma victims, exciting new concepts in brain and heart surgery. People should be encouraged to give, to stand extra tall six-ye- ar aoi?eimiiSssiiini when the measure for Pennies By The Inch. All Pennies funds are used for the treatement of children, and the doors of Primary Childrens will never be closed to a child in need so long as we care, Volunteers in Utah, Idaho, Montana, California, Nevada, Wyoming, W ashington, Oregon, Arizona, and New Mexico will be making the collections in thousands of towns and neighborhoods. The Pennies" appeal provides a substantial portion of the funds necessary for the hospital to continue the tradition of providing charity service to all children who need help in the Intermountain West. Last year, children came from a dozen states and several foreign countries to be treated at Primary Childrens. It is the pediatric tertiary care only medical center between Denver and the West Coast and serves a wider geographical area than any other hospital in the country a territory of the continental equal to door-to-do- or full-servi- ce one-seven- th UnitedStates. Prior to its divestiture by the LDS Church in 1975, Primary Childrens received more than $1,250,000 a year for charity care from the church-ru- n Parade. Penny After the reorganization, that source of charity funding ended. In 1976, the Childrens Associates was formed to organize a g campaign to replace the lost funding. The Pennies by The Inch concept was born, allowing Primary Childrens to continue its tradition of treating all children regardless of race, religion, national origin, or the ability to fund-raisin- pay. In 1981, Primary Childrens added a CT Scanner, expanded its Emergency Room and Intensive Care Unit, significantly increased the capability of its Pulmonary Functions Laboratory, e established a pediatric at Clinic in the Westwood its practice southwest valley area, inaugurated the areas only Pediatric Rehabilitation Anomalies Center and Cranio-FadPanel, and increased its house-basemedical-dentstaff to 36 with the addition of another neurosurgeon, pediatric surgeon, child psychiatrist, full-tim- al d al and cardiologist, neonatologist, and anesthaeiologist. The Trauma Newborn transport teams, using fixed-win- g aircraft, helicopters and continued to reach more and more outlying communities in seven Western states. In 1981, in its third in operation, the air transport system brought 296 462 seriously ill or injured children and newborns to Primary Childrens. In recent years, Primary Childrens has expanded its services to children to include extensive care and research in cancer treatment, cardiology, birth defects, neurology, pediatric surgery, psychiatry, trauma, pedodontics, orthopedics, newborn intensive care, therapy, diabetes, respiratory ocand physical neurosurgery, cupational, and recreational therapy.

The little mice, ages 7 to 17, became so enmeshed in this new video world that they lost sight of reality. Their every being revolved around the TV. The bickering began coming almost to the point of knock down, drag out fights. In desperation. Mom removed the culprit, telling her clan that when they learned to control their combat in- st inct s, possibly they could try again. The kids panicked and went into withdrawals. Then they put their four little heads together and came up with a set of rules which all households with video units should enforce. 1)- A pplies to ages 4 and up. 2) Hours: Morning, 11 to 12; Afternoons, 1 to 3 and 5 to 6 with an added hour, 8 to 9 on Friday nights. 3) Take turns, starting with the youngest member of the family. 4 ) Play until game is finished. , . st Valley-Tooel- Scripts By PAT STEVENSON What I want to know is how come the U.S. Army is sponsoring ABCs sports show on Saturday evening at 5 p.m.? Now mind you, I dontt object to commercials which the those free-be- e army, navy, air force, coast guard and national guard provide all the media. We run them in our newspaper, and the television stations can run them when they have a hole to fill, the same as we do. But for the Army to sponsor reprehensible, uncalled for, and downright illegal. Now that I have gotten that off my mind, let me present something new. Dan Carlinsky, a New York based free lance writer, is addicted to lists. He believes each generation of young people develops it own slang expressions and catch phrases to drive the elders wild. This practice has been going on for years. Cain and Abel, he thinks, bugged Adam and Eve with the slang they picked up outside the Garden of Eden. The trouble is, faddish words go out of style and young people grow older and forget. Soon, the slang of each era is burried in the dusty files of language scholars and list collectors. Here, lest we forget," is a brief quiz on some of the expressions of the past few generations in America. You grew up with some of them; you heard others from your parents (who had used them to drive their parents batty). You rarely hear any of them today. Maybe it s just as well. Test yourself and rate youself with the scoring system below. 1 . At the old swimming hole in days gone by, someone unfailingly shouted, ! Last one in is 2.
