It was real. Bats in Belfry ... Students Learn The students of Lindon Elementary went "batting" this last week. Batting is the term used for a bat hunt. Dr. Hal Black of the BYU Department, who is an authority on bats came to Lindon as a resource visitor and told about bats. His presentation kept the attention of the boys and girls throughout. They didn't miss a word. Their eyes and ears were totally with him. The room was darkened and a bat net stretched across an imaginary stream so that as bats came down to drink during the evening we could catch them in the net. Hal put his hip boots and miners cap and light and proceeded to act out his bat hunt. Many stuffed bats were caught in the special net, untangled and identified. Live specimen were also shown. All during the presentation Dr. Black told facts and stories about bats. Many false beliefs were explained. All bats can bite. The flying bats are healthy ones. The bats children find on the ground are usually the sick ones. Bats are our friends because they eat many insects. There are no vampire bats around here. They are in Central and South America. Bats have super sensitive ears and used them to hear the high pitch beeps they utter to find their way at night. Dr. Black challenged the students thinking with the thought that bats are really "mouse angels". All went along with this thought with tongue in cheek. This was an exceptional educational experience - one that all will remember. Citizen Party Candidates working with his brothers in the family business, Hone's Woodcraft in Pleasant Grove. R.J. says he has always wanted to live in Lindon, and moved there two years ago. He and his wife feel that this is a good place to raise their children, but that the city has growing pains, which is good if it is planned in the right way. He says that with the right group of people as city leaders this growth can be beneficial to all property owners. He believes that Lindon needs more business and industry to generate more money for taxes. Lindon City has a great future for all of us, R. J. said, and he feels he could be an asset in its growth and development. (Continued from page 1) important thing in the near future is development of in-dustry to insure a tax base for the city. We all know that Lindon City is bonded nearly to its limit, he said. A big issue is the one-hal- f acre lot minimum building requirement. This is covered by a city ordinance, and should be enforced, Darrel said. Darrel has the drive, and fortitude to enforce all city or-dinances, and asks for the Lindon citizen's votes for mayor. Merlyn Tomlinson Merlyn Tomlinson was born and raised in Pleasant Grove and his parents are the late Floyd Tomlinson and Merle Tomlinson, who still lives in Pleasant Grove. & He attended and graduated from the Pleasant Grove High. He spent two years in the army, and after this married Donna J. Park. They have two children, in the Jr. High and Rex, in the Lindon Elementary School. They have lived in Pleasant Grove and Lindon since their marriage. Merlyn works as a painter for U.S. Steel, and as a police officer for Lindon City. He is interested in a planned growth and development of the city, and also interested in the public safety. He is aware of the problems that face the city, and is also aware of the low crime rate that Lindon has at this time. He would like to see this maintained by up-dating equipment and the proper amount of personnel to meet the needs of the com-munity. R. J. Hone R. J. Hone was born and raised in Pleasant Grove and attended schools there. He is married and has four children, Robert, Jeff, Curt and Lisa. His wife is the former Betty Lloyd of Nevada. R. J. says he worked at Geneva Steel for 13 years, and for 8 years worked in sales management for General Corp, a building sales organization.

Felix Frankliner tMAMWWWWMAMWWMHW Emotional Illness Is Different '. The 46 year-ol- d women sat along cold and desperate. Married, with three children, she had for the past two months complained of "not having enough energy to do anything. " She felt tense. She slept fitfully , waking early in the morning. Food didn't appeal to her; she lost30pounds. She felt worthless as a housewife and mother. She complained that she had failed to meet goals in her life. Shje regretted that while she had the training necessary to practice a profession, she had been a housewife for 15 years. She felt emotionless, empty and beyond help. After an examination showed that her physical con-dition was normal, Mrs. Smiths's pfoblem (not her real name) was diagnosed as serious depression. She was hospitalized and treated with drugs and psychotherapy; af-ter 4 1 days she was discharged, hersymptomsgone. Depression, is today accor-ding to the American Psychaitric, "the most com-mon mental disorder" we face in the United States. Studies by the National Institute of Men-tal Health reveal that an estimated 8,000,000 people in the United States are suffering from clinical depression serious enough to require treatment. 125,000 are hospitalized each year for the condition, and probably another 200,00 should be hospitalized. "Depression is a serious health problem," said Ted cording toanNIMH report. If depression becomes exaggerated in intensity and duration, it is no longer an ac-ceptable part of life; it is a con-dition that begs for treatment. Severly depressed people have feelings of hopelessness, guilt and self-hat- e that may go on for months. They withdraw completely from the world, the NIMH report continues, con-sidering themselves unworthy of family or friends. "When the Monday mopr-nin- g blahs are still around on Friday, or the weekend slump continues through the following week, it's time to suspect something more serious than just normal depression," observes Dr. Richard A. Weaver, Director of Copnsulatation and Education at the Timpanogos Mental Health Center and Instructor for the BYU Psychology Department. What then are the causes of serious depression? A period of depression may sweep over a person in the wake of a broken marriage, a long futile spell of work or a sudden stress like an auto accident, according to NIMH. "Depression may also strike when a person should be happy after a job is won, getting married, or when a child is born, ' ' said Dr. Weaver. " It is as if achieving a long-soug- goal does not bring the expected gratification but rather brings the loss of some helpful aspect of the experience of striving toward a eoal." sawa few years ago. "No one is exempt," said Dr. M. Ford McBride, coordinator of Consultation for the Tim-panogos Mental Health Center. "Depression has been reported in infants a few months old and people well in to their90's. NIMH report s that among all who receive care for depression in hospitals and clinics, nearly 20 percent are under 1 8 years of age. Moreover, the suicide rate among people in their twenties has more than doubled in the pastdecade. "A recent study in the British Journal of Psychiatry, reported depressive illness was diagnosed in as many as 80 pecent of suicidal patients, '' Dr. Weaver said. "The maj ority of those suffering from serious depression are not suicidal, but still need professional help." Where can one get help for coping with depression? "The Timpanogos Mental Health Center's professional staff can help the individual handle a depression problem," Terry said. "Those who need help must realize thay can receive con-fidential professional aid in dealing with depression," Dr. Weaveradded. The Center will not refuse services to anyone for financial reasons. The Timpanogos Mental Health Center is located at 1 161 East 300 North in Provo, telephone number is 373-739- 3 in Utah County and toll free 1 800 662-153- 2 outside of the County. Terry, clinical social worker of the Tiompanogos Mental HealthCenter. "Unfortunately there has been a stigma at-tached to health problems that are experienced in psycholog-ical terms." "I don'think we will have done our job well until everyone in this country understands that an emotional illness is no different from a physical illness," Said the First Lady, Rosalyn Carter, "and that get-ting professional help for a depression is or ought to be, no different from going to a doc-tor for an appendicitis or pneumonia." What then is depression? In its milder forms, depression is a natural and predicatable reac-4jp- ,j tion to everyday stress and frustration. Perhaps the only way to avoid depression altogether is not to be born, ac- - "It is now clear that depression is often caused by biochemical changes in the brain and body as well as by psychological stress in the en-vironment, ' ' Terry added. NIMH reports that like all illnesses, the symptoms of depression are physical as well as psychological, including, for example such complaints as fatigue and insomnia along with dejection and guilt. Where does depression strike? In a special study on the Depressive Disorders, NIMH reported, at least 15 percent of all adults between theagesofl8 and 74 may exhibit significant and disabling effects of depresion. "The problem is especially serious among young people," Terry said, "depression is becoming more common in children, something we rarely "The entire and absolute freedom of the press is essential to the preservation of government on the basis of a free constitution."
