Show Review - Thursday. ADril 29. 1982 - Page 7 1 Postal Inspectors Continue ! To Press Swindlers Consumers com-plaints about work-at-hom- e swindles in-creased significantly over the last year, partly in - response to Postal Inspection Service investigations that put 3,500 such promoters out of business, according to Pleasant Grove Post-master Donald F. Keele. The postmaster made the announcement in connection with Con-sumer Protection Week, April 1. "One of the most daring of these swin-dlers recently went to federal prison in the Midwest." Mr. Keele said, "after he was convicted on mail fraud in the sale of a book entitled, 'How to Make Money at Home.'" Bruce Reusch of Milford, Ohio, placed advertising in national tabloids, such as "The Star," the "Globe" and the "National Enquirer" offering work at home stuffing envelopes. "He promised that earnings of $400 to $700 weekly could be realized," the postmaster said, "but the only record of any earnings involved was. the $235,000 Reusch's United Publishing Company took in." The postmaster said during a search of the company's records, postal inspectors found Reusch was using the stolen letterhead of the Postal Inspector in Charge at Cincinnati, Ohio, to ward off complaints. A San Francisco, California, operator -- Lawrence Phillips - also used national ad-vertising to take at least $300,000 from 25,000 people who paid a $12 fee for his envelope stuffing scheme. Phillips suggested that those who responded to his ad similarly solicit their own "home workers." Six others who took his advice were, like Phillips, the subject of a "mail stop order." Phillips repeatedly promised to stop claiming buyers could earn between $180 and $500 a week by stuffing envelopes for his Phillips Envelope Company, but it wasn't until a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order that his business collapsed. "What we continue to see," the postmaster said, "is the claim that there is a market for doing a particular type of work in your home where, in fact, there is none, or that the promoter will buy the finished product when, in fact, the promoter will not." Mr. Keele said the elderly or those who cannot leave their homes because of some illness or injury are at the top of the list of victims. A brochure prepared by the Postal Service outlining the pitfalls of work-at-hom- e promoti-ons is available in post offices. It's Time or Petunias!

Lindon PTA Holds Cultural Week By LINDA HARRIS Lindon Elemntary School was the gatghering place for artisans from many ) different fields of art as l that school hosted the I Cultural Arts Week April As part of the yearly " event the children were exposed to one different ! aspect of the cultural arts each day of the week. This year the event was planned and organized under the . creative hand of Valerie Gibson, PTA ' Corn-el missioner over Cultural fj Arts. Mrs. Gibson, in ij planning the event, said 'I she hoped that the 7 children would be ex-- i posed to many types of art and to the contrast within each of the dif-ferent types thems-elves. Monday's activities seemed to achieve both of these goals. The emphasis that day was on Arts and Crafts. Six different local artisans came to the school and sedt up booths displaying their part-icular craft and in some instances doing demonstrations of the mechanics of their art. The walk-throug- h display was fascinating to the children. In one booth, Janell Anderson, Lindon, showed her vast assortment of han-dicrafts, crocheting, quilting, embroidering, etc. Moving on, Diane Lewis, Lindon, demonstrated machine embroidering. She has taught numerous classes at. her home on the art arid has won ribbons at fairs, also. Next, Debbie Brown, Pleasant Grove, demonstrated flower arranging. She does professional arrange-ments of silk and dried flowers for weddings, etc. In the next booth Keith Anderson, Pleasant Grove, had a display on antique guns that he collects. On display were a 1776 American Revolutiona-ry War gun and a Civil War gun. But the children's favorite was the bayonet. Then Debbie Cook, Lindon, demonstrated to the children how she does tole painting. She does this mostly for herself and is very good at it. Finally, the children got to watch Gail Shultz of American Fork show them how she makes antique dolls and their many dif-ferent costumes. She forms the dolls herself from porcelain, makes the body from cloth, stuffs it, and installs a voice box. The second day of the activities the theme was drama. Yetta Halladay and Teresa Clark of the BYU Drama Depart-ment were the guests. Yetta has toured the elementary schools in Utah with a group called "Sir Gallahad and the Green Dragon" for the past school year. During the Cultural Arts Fair, she involved the school children in some im-provisations. She had them imagine themselves in a par-ticular situation such as lying on a desert. She told them, "Close your eyes. Feel the hot wind on your face. Feel the sand beneath you." Yetta had one group pretend they were building a car and another group make a human machine. Each child making up the machine had to make a noise representing the part they were.' At first many of the children were inhibited about acting out but as they got into it they really enjoyed it and the audience really laughed, too. Yetta, also told them about theater props, costuming, lighting, etc., but she said the most important thing in drama is how you are able to feel and imagine. Teresa then did some fun things with puppets. She told the children how to make their own puppets out of socks, sacks, boxes, etc. She told them they had to talk to their puppets and get to know them. All participants in the Cultural Arts Week did so on a volunteer basis. It was commented by someone that this was the first time the event , had been done in such a unique way. Doctors, Nurses, Qualify in Cardiac Life Support Five Utah Valley Hospital physicians and two nurses recently became certified in-structors of the American Heart Association's advanced cardiac life support course. The seven hospital staffers can now teach the course to other UVH physicians, nurses and emergency personnel. Sherise .Gregerson, RN, Mary Ward, RN, and Drs. Tom Dwyer, Robert Gray and Wendell Gadd of the Emergency Center and Dr. Charles Dahl, cardiologist and Dr. Klint Stander, heart surgeon, completed the three-day- ., course at Ogden's "McKay-De- e Hospjjal.' The Emergency Center now has six out of seen staffers who arc certified instructors and one part-tim- e emergency physician. According to Wayne Watson, head nurse of the Emergency Center and certified instructor, the new instructors will ease the load of the current instructors and will allow the hospital to serve its own employees better, as well as other hospitals and health care institutions throughout the central and southern part of the state. "We're now able to teach more courses and can offer it to anybody who wants to go through it, provided they have completed the prerequisite. Before it was only offered to hospital emergency and intensive care per-sonnel," he said. Watson added that the course's main emphasis is on life support and all that it encompasses. The course is very thorough, covering such areas as sudden death, myocardial infraction, ventilation, IV techniques, newborn, infant and child resuscitation, blood gases, pharmacology, and the medical-lega- l aspects of CPR. There Will Be Fruit to Preserve Farm Bureau Tells Homemakers ning," Ferguson said. He said he had concluded, after talking to growers and exten-sion service specialists, that the damage in some areas of the state may not be quite as bad as some reports indicat-ed earlier in the week, although a number of growers suffered disas-trous losses. "Apricots were hit hard, as were many low-lyin- g peach and sweet cherry orchards. But many growers will still have a good supply of the major canning fruits and we expect to market an excellent quality crop again this year," the Utah county grower said. Ferguson said winterkill earlier in the year actually did much of the damage to peaches. "Even so, we do expect to have some peaches from part of the state to sell this fall," he added. He said it was just too early to make any accurate assessment of the losses growers will face as a result of the recent freeze damage. "That kind of a figure will only be available at the end of the season. Clearly, however, fruit production is an im-portant part of Utah's economy and fruit growers are improving the quality of Utah-grow- n fruit every year," the farmer said. Despite severe dam-age to Utah's fruit crop from the recent frost i! and earlier winterkill, " therewillbeasupply of fresh fruit for consum-'- ! ws in Utah's fruit stands this year, ac- - cording to Bill Fergus-on, Santaquin, fruit producer and chair-man of Utah Farm Bureau's fruit crops committee. "The only thing worse than the recent frost damage would be for our customers to get h false impression that there won't be any fruit, or that it will be 2 wo expensive to buy, and then cancel their 1 Plans for home can- - Swim Class ' Begins For Ladies A Ladies Beginning swimming class will be jeld May 4 through May at the American Fork ior High Swimming "ool. 1 The class will be on sday nights from J 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. The Pol will be closed to the Public at this time.
