Smith conceives idea for recent Conference Ignoring a serious illness wont make it go away. Far from it. Yet when it comes to drug and alcohol dependency, many people cover it up out of shame, guilt or embarrassment. Its a vicious cycle that keeps the chemically dependent person from getting help, allowing the problem to get worse before treatment is sought. The Step One program at Mountain View Hospital, Payson, Now through February 13, Pennies by the Inch volunteers will contact hundreds of thousands of homes in the W est. One hundred perceht of the donations collected will help pay for medical expenses of needy children at Primary Childrens Medical Center. Last year Primary Childrens helped more than 1,600 children in financial need. Pennies donated totaled almost half the $2.8 million used. The facility treats children with out regard to race, religion, or ability to pay. Merlin and Susan Olsen serve as Honorary Chairmen for the cafnpaign for the 11th year.
