' ' I A familiar slogan seen sprinkled through-ou- t the Valley reads: "If you love em, Show 'em." The Mary Jorgensen family are a fine example of love in action and are indeed deserving of the nomination for Family of the Year. In June of 1976 Mary Ellen Bullock Jorgensen suffered a heart attack, and while still recuperating was further striken with 2 strokes. Her illness and limited ability made it necessary for her to have special care. She was fortunate indeed to have 8 living children who are currently (and have been for a year and a half expressing their love concern by providing the physical care themselves on a organized rotation basis. Mary, who will be 89 years old on January 5, 1978 has been able to remain in her own home at 225 South 4th East because the family is willing to take 3 or 4 days at a time, moving in temporarily to provide day and night care, companionship and taking the responsibility of her physical needs. Helen Degelbeck, the oldest daughter, lost her husband Edwin just last week. They make their home in Ophir, Utah. The oldest son, Samuel and his wife Christine are limited in what they can offer in physical help, being older themselves. They have assisted financially on numerous occasions. They reside in Logan. Those family members living nearer their mother offer whatever is needed to make her as comfortable as possible. Mark and Gail, Max and Maurine and Glen and Lois all sons and daughters live in Pleasant Grove. Another son Gerald and his wife Faye reside in Lehi. Lois who lives just through the block does the grocery shopping, pays the bills and assists with the medical errands. From Tooele Claudia and Emerson make their regular trips to assist. A daughter," Arlene has arranged with her place of employment to take one week off each month from MRS. MARY JORGENSEN Family of the Year her job to travel from Tuba City Arizona, to contribute what she can to her mother's needs and happiness. Arlene states that through all the discomfort and trial Mary has remained cheerful and still has her witty, joking personality. Even though she has lost the use of her body and is very weak, her mind is very keen and alert. When visited by her brother Harold Bullock on his birthday this week, Mary was very much aware of his concern for her. The family expressed thanks to Harold and his wife Lola who have been another source of help and strength. Mary and Harold come from a family of 8 children, he being the youngest and she the oldest, with 17 years between them. They have remained close as they are the only brother and sister living. Mrs. Jorgensen lost her husband Samuel and a daughter Marie, in 1968. After 12 years of caring for Marie, her disease (multiple sclerosis) required medical help the family could not provide and she died in a rest home. The services provided by the family may not be con-venient, but they are totally unselfish and are certain! a rarity in today's world of options. The Jorgensen family now grown are returning the .love and care their mother DUP Says Thanks For Help in Cleaning Up Park The Daughters of Utah Pioneers who have several camps in Pleasant Grove area, gave sincere thanks this past week to all the good people who have helped in the renovation of the Pioneer Museum and the park that it is on, the corner of 1st East and 1st South in Pleasant Grove. People and organizations they particulary mentioned were the Pleasant Grove Club, who planted flowers and shrubs and Pleasant Grove City for furnishing and installing benches in the park. Grant Fowles, city em-ployee and his helpers, and John Huntsman, city coun-cilman over parks, were also given thanks for taking out the trees and bushes.

According to Barlow, that's a power skid result of accelerating too fast for road conditions. The power applied to the wheels is more than the ability of the tire tread to grip the road, and as a result, they spin; and when a tire is spinning, it has no friction to keep the wheels from skidding sideways. Unless the skid is too severe, a power skid can be controlled by simply easing up on the gas pedal. If conditions or speed are such that this isn't enough, then the old trick of steering in the direction of the skid may solve the problem. On ice, however, you cannot expect instant response. If your speed is high enough, there may be no time left for correcting a skid. A spinout on a curve is a very difficult skid to control, even on dry roads. Keeping the car on the road and pointed in the right direction may be the best you can hope for. If the car cannot be kept on the road, try and aim for a clear spot where you can come to a stop without hitting anything solid. The Council President suggests, adjust your speed and stopping distances so the problems never occur. The term is, "moderation in all things," and this certainly applies to driving. Autumn is especially beautiful in Utah this year with the fresh green of the grass providing unexpected contrast to the brilliant coloring of the leaves. Crisp sunny weekends have made the annual task of putting up storm windows much easier to bear and the problem of raking fallen leaves has just begun. Snow has already fallen in some places, and we can expect our annual mass of crumpled cars when our first snow arrives. . Wise motorists are already getting their cars winterized for the cold weather ahead, and the wisest of them all are preparing to winterize their driving habits as well. Leo H. Barlow, President of the Utah Safety Council, predicts the first cold night we'll see long lines of laden motorists at filling ' stations trying to get anti-freez- e for their radiators. The first really cold morning we'll see stalled vehicles by the thousands across the state because their owners neglected to get them ready for winter. According to Barlow, failure to adjust for winter driving will create the same added work load for the body shops, and in some instances, the hospital emergency rooms. The driving habits we ve used all summer just won't make it in the winter. As an example, take stopping distance. The first snowfall we'll see a rash of rear-en- d collisions in city traffi- c- many of them in-volving several cars and several hundred dollars damage to each vehicle. Small children sitting or standing on the seats of these cars could be thrown violently against the car's interior at whatever speed the car was traveling when it suddenly came to a stop. Adults will suffer neck injuries, facial bruises and cuts, and probably some of the occupants will be hospitalized, and will happen again and again simply because somewhere in each of these collisions is a driver who still thinks he can stop as quickly as he could on dry pavement. One of these mornings you'll start your car and enter the traffic flow, and in seconds the windshield will be fogged because you have neglected to warm up the car interior just a little bit before starting to move. Remember what it was like the last time that happened to you - the panic of realizing you didn't know whether the car ahead was still moving or if you were still straight and not into the oncoming traffic. Think about the time you used the wind-shield washers to clear the windshield and the liquid froze on the glass because you neglected to put an anti-freez- e solution in your reservoir tank. Barlow asks that you remember the time you had the helpless feeling of turning the steering wheel and having the car go straight ahead or applying the brakes and being convinced the car was actually going faster. There are just a few of the unpleasant things that can happen if we are not prepared for winter driving. It's not the same as summer driving, and we have to keep reminding ourselves until we adjust to winter needs, and winter needs can change rapidly without warning. Have you ever stepped on the gas and had the rear end of the car skid around and slam into the car next to yours or known the moment of Only the gV Newspaper Only the newspaper gives the thinking man so much to think about as it probes into the background of each day's happenings.

Hatch American Steel: A Utah Perspective In spite of nationwide steel industry deficits, of-ficials of United States Steel in Utah contend that Geneva Works, near Orem, can compete with steel producers anywhere in the world in a cost-for-co- st situation. This relatively small plant, compared to the Pittsburgh- -Homestead or the Gary, Indiana plants, is fighting hard to keep some reason in the price battle. The Utah plant has a great deal of experience in price wars with foreign steel pro-ducers. But even with three decades of ex-perience, Geneva is having its problems. Officials report that as much as 36 percent of the Western states market belong to lower-price- d steel from Japan, Western Europe, Britian, and Third World countries that are dump-ing their steel at West Coast ports. Particularly upsetting is the introduc-tion of British steel into Idaho. The U.K. product has traditionally been the least efficiently produced in world production. As pointed out by Utah steel producers, the American industry has been working hard in re-cent years to meet en-vironmental demands for clean air and water while the "dirty" foreign steel makers, unconcerned with environmental costs, are stealing the market. American steel makers are quick to declare achieve-ment of environmental standards by the deadlines now imposed by the En-vironmental Protection Agency. In the same respect, however, steel people perceive the EPA regulations as overly ag-gressive and possibly the undoing of the American steel business. If the Western steel market were fairly open to Geneva, as it should be, there would be an addi-tional 9,000 jobs available to Utah people. Market losses to the Utah steel makers last year alone cost a potential 2,000 jobs and $60 million in growth potential for the Geneva works of U.S. Steel. The steel industry is in a trade, environmental, and business regulation crisis fostered by the federal government. The simple long-ter- solution is to get the federal govern-ment out of the steel in-dustry and give it back to American investors and the free market system. On the short-ter- fair-trad- e practices for all steel pro-ducers, both foreign and domestic, must be en-forced. This could start with a prohibition of the dumping practices of ag-gressive foreign com-petitors. The federal government, with its bureaus, agencies, com-missions and committees, is strangling what was once considered the finest nation in the world, and the crisis will not go away until the feds get out of the steel business. The bureaucracy is so deeply entrenched it will take innovative legislation to free steel from government grasp and foreign trade aggres-sion. |
