We were reminded of this odd question the other morning as we pulled up behind a small sports car covered with snow and frost, emitting a cloud of steam into the cold winter morning air. We looked closer and saw that the car was carrying Florida license plates, and it almost appeared to us that the little car was huddling against the bitter cold. It was crawling along however, and seemed to get by dispite its acclimatation to an entirely different temlike we have J. . month, are not too common. As a matter of fact, we've had more cold allready this season than we had the last two winters combined. We can't help but wonder, too, how some of our newer residents are getting along with the cold, particularly those who have moved here from some of the southern states. Perhaps they are like the little car. . .they just hunrh up. pull their collar in a little tighter, and keep pushing along. But we hope they learn to enjoy the beauties of our country as we do. even with the brisk winter mornings. A philosopher is a man who is often giving advice about troubles he hasn't had. old is gone. . .finished. We cant do anything about it now. But we can help to make 1973 a good year. We came across a poem that sums it up, as the holiday season closes, and we can look forward to a long year ahead: Dried Christmas trees along the street, threads of tinsel clinging. Bits of ribbon here and there, no more carol singing. Trash cans bulging, crumpled papers, boxes beyond reason: Housewives packing things away for another season. Christmas over once again; no more Yule- tide cheer; But he who has it in his heart has it all the year. vV December December December December December December December January 24 25 26 27 28 30 31 2 20 12 15 10 18 28 16 20 LOW i - r4l - Jk ' SIGN SHOOTERS ARRESTED This is one of the signs at Starvation Reservoir which was damaged by rifle fire.

The situation which the Society seeks to remedy through the Home Eye Test is childthis: One in every 20 preschool-agren in the U. S. has a vision problem which, if uncorrected, can seriously interfere with his development and schooling. Present preschool vision screening programs "cover less than 500,000 of the 16 million children in the age group said the National Society's Committee on Eye Health of Children, in recommending the development and nationwide distribution of a home vision test. PRRC The Committee, a advisory group, is made up of representatives of ophthalmology, pediatrics, nursing education, school nursing, public health administration and medical social work. It must be emphasized," cautions Dr. .09 Sonntag, "that any vision screening only indicates that a child may have a visual .38 defect; and only limited visual skills are e 3-- -- true for organized programs with trained screeners and will be true with the Home Eye test. "Vision screening is not diagnostic, and does not take the place of a professional eye examination. We do not and cannot expect to locate through screenings every child who needs eye care; and some children whose test results indicate the need for referral to an eye specialist may not need glasses or treatment. "What we hope for is the chance to tested. This - v;. is locate those thousands of children--wh- o have never had their vision tested, who show no outward, obvious signs of eye or vision abnormality, but will demonstrate quite readily in a screening that they are using only one eye effectively, for example, or that they can read the chart with each eye separately but not with both eyes together." Currently preschool vision screening programs are conducted by public health nurses, school nurses, and by the thousands of volunteers who are often members of civic, women's religious or fraternal organizations. The screenings are conducted at community centers, kindercenters, nursery schools gartens, day-car- e and Head Start locations.

Another banner year for housing starts is predicted in 1973; however, it will have to be an exceptional year to surpass 1972. Mortgage loans provided by Utah's saving and loan associations through November amounted to $242,581,269. This is an record, according to Emerson the Utah Savings and Loan League. Utah's insured savings and loan associations supply a big share of the financing for new and existing dwellings in the state. At the end of November total mortgage loans outstanding amoune L.
