Its This year will celebrate the second anniversary of two Roosevelt-basebusinesses. They are Stitch 'N Sew and The Children's Den. Both are owned and operated by working women and they had some interesting views on business and the projections of growth in the future. Flora Allred, Children's Den, has been connected with business one way or another for 30 years. At the time she decided to go into business for herself, she had some questions she had to answer. She had been working for other people fur a long time and she needed to decide if she wanted to start her own business or not. Second, she did want something where she could use her imagination and creativity, plus use her incentive to get things done. I decided to do something I liked, she said. She explained that she liked people and she had a desire to improve the selection of the shopping in Roosevelt, so she decided to open up the Children's Den. The more stores, the bigger the variety and the more shoppers that stay at home to shop, she said. Flora has had continual growth for the past two years and expects the same for the future. You have to be changing and updating continually, if you want to stay in business," she remarked. She went on to explain that a business person has to be flexible and fit their inventories to the wants and needs of the community. Also, the inside of the store has to be changed continually for different seasons and d Lynn and she stated that those who If you were a working woman, do, and sooner or later you will couldn't handle working under a would you be offended to be called a achieve your goals." motorman" or even a driller?

He, or she in this ease, takes care of the electrical, boiler, and heating systems of the rig.

She now boasts five years experience in the patch, working in three different states. She started out in Colorado, moved to Wyoming, and now is in Utah. There has been a fair amount of work required of Lynn on the Olsen 5 Brinkerhoff rig as it was a burned-ou- t in Colorado in the summer of '81. They have completely gone through the rig and all of the necessary systems and the hole they are working on now is the fifth one since it was rebuilt. Lynn did have some interesting experiences with her husband when she made the decision to work on the rigs. He also is a driller for Loffland, now stationed in Elko, Nevada. Her husband gave her the choice between him or the rig, and I chose the rig," she said. She went on to explain it didnt take him long to see her interest in her work and her ambitions.

She explained that a woman's place used to be in the home, but times have changed greatly, and somehow there should be a balance between a working mother and her family. She told an interesting story about how many times she has been fired from jobs because the drillers couldn't handle working with a woman. Whole crews have been run off, just because they didn't want me there, she said. Lynn stated that she has worked for 10 to 15 companies in the past five years, but then complimented Olsen on how they had treated her and let her do the job.
