The recently initiated program is designed to put mentally retarded children five and under in a total living environment, with programming designed to meet their specific needs. Children assigned to the new program reside in the spacious nursery, with play, therapy and eating areas adjoining. There are presently 17 children assigned to this innovative program designed to solve adaptive problems of the younger retardate. Therapeutic recreation is also part of their scheduling and the children enjoy frequent outings into the community. Self help skills, socialization, normalization and specific therapy prescriptions put each child in a supportive, learning situation.

One way to do this is the percolator method of making coffee at home. Star filters, the only ones that fit all percolators as well as drip-typ- e coffeemakers, hold all your fresh coffee in the brewing section where it belongs-n- ot in the coffee brew itself. Result: full flavor value from all of your fresh coffee, and no bitterness in your brew caused by tiny coffee grounds that can drop down from the brewing section, if you dont have a coffee filter in place. Another reason why brewing your coffee with a Star filter in the pot increases your coffee flavor value is the fact that flavor extraction (the action of hot water on fresh coffee grounds) is more efficient with one of these special filters holding all the grounds. The filters are made of 100 natural fibers and have a de- scientifically-determine- d gree of porousness. They have just enough porosity to let full flavor go through . to your brewed coffee, while keeping back all the grounds from which the flavors been extracted. Getting higher flavor-extractio- n efficiency from your percolator can actually save you money two ways. First, with a filter in place in your d pot, you can use well as drip-styl- e as coffee, the Since coffees. regular grind efmore flavor extractions ficient, you can actually use less coffee. Secondly, you can sale brand always buy coffees at your supermarket if you regularly make your coffee with Star filters, because you know you can always get the maximum flavor value out of any coffee (either drip or regular grind).

Have you been missed by an old friend, asked Lyman F. Smart, president of the Utah Lung Association. Your Christmas Seal friend that is. We have received several calls from concerned people, wno have not received their Christmas Seals this year. All of tne Christmas Seal letters now have been mailed to homes and businesses in Utah. If you have not received your Christmas Seals and would like some, please write or call the Utah Lung Association, 1616 South 11th East, Sait Lake City, Utah 84105. We will be happy to send them to you. The traditionally colored holiday stamps are an attractive package and envelope decoration. And while they look festive on holiday mail, they also remind all who see them, that t.ie Utah Lung Association is working to prevent and control lung disease. Mr. Smart said that Christmas Seal letters are sent in late October and early November in order to accommodate those who mail letters and packages over- Doctor in the Kitchen by Laurence M.

As early as 1900 B.C., Egyptians concluded that diet might be involved in night blindness. To correct the problem, Egyptian doctors recommended raw liver, which we now know is rich in Vitamin A. Other good sources include dairy products, egg yolk, dark green and deep yellow vegetables, also deep seas.

How far back in history is butter mentioned? Well, butter dates back as far as recorded history and undoubtedly beyond. Theres a Biblical reference in Genesis, Chapter 18, the 8th verse, about Abraham providing butter as part of a meal. It seems that all through the ages, people have loved butter and regarded it as one of the great delicacies. Heres another New Years resolution you might consider: Promise yourself youll read the labels on the food you buy.
