OUT OF THE FILE of rubble to which the Coalville Taber-nac- historicit- y- le was reduced rose a groundswell of concern among Mormons and Gentiles both about the fate of historically and aesthetically significant buildings all over Utah. Part of that movement direct- ed towards preventing tharam-pa- nt demolition of the worthy old church buildings was the founding of Cornerstone, a group of active members of the LDS Church, mostly young, and all concerned that the destruction be stopped before another Coalville could occur. CORNERSTONE, under the initial direction of Be van Chip-ma- n, a Jordan School District social worker.FrankFerguson, architect with Environmental Associates, Myron Sorensen, attorney, and Maureen Ursen- bach, University of Utah graduate student, began its activities by identifying those structures, which form the best part of the Mormon architectural heritage. Working closely with the Utah Heritage Foundation and the' Utah Historical Society, the group assesses the significance of a building in terms of its ' IT B TO RAEE alternatives to the present policies of the LDS Church against the preservation of old chapels which no longer meet the needs of the membership in a total church program that CORNERSTONE hopes to serve. The group Is unique among preservationist groups In that its membership Is totally and actively LDS. For this reason, the group hopes to be able to represent to Church autborites the feeling of a growing segment of church membership which feels that the worthy old buildings should be saved. old building to realize what it could mean to the next generation, and younger people, who might appreciate its value are not in positions of any authority to speak for its preserva- TEE SUMM ' tion. Once the community is made aware of the aesthetic, historical, and even monetary value of an attractive building in the community, it will, as many have, rally to its defense.

The standing evidence of the faith and testi- vestigation and dissemination of mony ot early settlers, the proof of their industry and devotion, must be allowed to remain as visible reminders of the solid values upon which the present society is built. The very uniqueness of the architecture, the solidity of the construction, and the evidence of the early church's conviction that they were building, in very fact, the temporal Kingdom of God are significant factors In CORNERSTONE'S determ- ination to save the buildings. Fire Destroys Beautiful Home Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 15, was a day of real tragedy for Doug Langton of Salt Lake City. His lovely new Park City home on Woodside Avenue burned to the ground. Believed to have started in something electrical, passer-- ; by later reported having seen 'flashes of light" a couple of nights previous to the blaze.' Fire Chief Tom Sullivan made a survey of the property early on arrival at the fire and could find no tell-ta- le footprints in the snow which might have indicated tampering.

Beard met Saturday, December 18 to honor her on her 87th birthday. The gathering of fifty-tw- o members and friends met in the home of Mrs. Rhea Stacey in Coalville.

Yet, such services are at times Justified if it becomes part of the vocational plan as established by the client, counselor, and the doctor involved. Moreover, the bulk of medical diagnostic services, primarily general physical examinations, are done by local doctors within the two counties. These same doctors play a major role in determining whether or not a person Is medically eligible for DRS. In order for an Individual to be eligible for rehabilitation services, he or she must have a significant medical or emotional problem which would have a limiting effect in certain types of occupations. This can necessitate training or other DRS services oriented towards employment of a nature be or she can then adequately handle. Some significant disabilities The main objective of DRS is and has been to give vocational counseling and guidance and coordinate various necessary services to handicapped individuals and thus prepare them for permanent employment. Conversely, the primary services paid by the Heber DRS office within the last twelve months has been related to trade school or college training This is generally in the area of tuition andor books with some travel costs. Yet, other services provided by DRS can Include a wide variety of aid such as training; purchase of tools; artificial limbs; and, of course, vocational counseling and testing. Medical costs paid by the ob various DRS clients have in the Summit -- Wasatch area are related to hearing and visual loss, orthopedic conditions, heart malfunctions, arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, mental retardation, and emotional health. A second eligibility factor which is strongly considered, is that there must be a "reasonable expectation" that if the State does Invest time and money in a client, be or she can be expected to again enter the labor market and become employed and Through research, it has been estimated that a rehabilitated person returns to the State, through paying of local, state and Federal taxes, sitae ten or more times what the State has invested during that individuals' rehabilitation program. These findings certainly indicate that "rehabilitation does not cost, 1 pays.
