Show The Funnts Bone when they're apart each day. My dad worked at something; I was sure of that when growing up. He worked for Hughes aircraft in a top secret lab, and we never really knew what it was that dad did. He came home clean, in a suit, that's about all we knew. Recently, when my parents were living in LaGrande, Oregon, he was high-lighte- d in a newspaper article that made front page. I suddenly knew what it was my dad had been working in. He had worked on the Venus Probe. I was impressed to think that he had had an intregal part in the building of that great project. My husband, who was once in electronics, like my dad, opted to change his profession and went into Agricultural sales. He enjoys his work and I'm told is good at what he does, but I'm sure there are days he would rather stay home and hyber-nat- e in bed. Now I'm sure that not all of you are interested in what the men in my life do to support their families. I guess that I want them to know that I ap-preciate what they do for the birds at home with their little mouths open and waiting for the, "worms" they've brought home. You probably won't get a statue dedicated to you, or a flower on Father's day, but this one lady ap-preciates the dedication that men have to their families to continue facing grumpy bosses each day. By MARY COONS Soon we will be coming to the honoring of mothers in May. I'm all for it, as I'm a mother myself and enjoy the spindly little plant and lovely pamphlets given out in church every year. What about dads, though? I have spent my entire life watching my dad, an aerospace engineer, and my husband, a irrigation sprinkler salesman, leave the nest and go out and do battle with the world. As a woman who has worked both inside and outside the home (many times at the same time), I appreciate what he has done each day. I have known many men and women who don't have the empathy with each other to understand what each does Np ... - , X ; W ' : , Y M ;' t ;. H r'" ' - ,:..-r-l.

Review Makes A Correction Because of a misunderstanding, the Pleasant Grove Review last week used a by-lin- e for John Fugal on a story of the unveiling of a motherhood statue at the Utah County Courthouse. Mr. Fugal did not write the story but he did unveil the statue as his mother, Lavina Fugal, was an American Mother of the Year. We apologize to Mr. Fugal and to our staff member, Mary Coons, who actually wrote the story and took the pictures accompanying it. g n PG Blab Marcella Walker layot In the never ending search for nice descriptions of people who leave little to be desired, Councilman Norman Barton has contributed a few. He likes "two bubbles off plumb," "two bricks shy of a load," and one he heard Carol Burnett use once: "In the hockey game of life he's playing with a cracked puck." In this corner we always like to give a little valuable advice so here is some: you need to drink at least four glasses of water or its equivalent through other beverages, to get the water the body requires each day. Water is essential to the body's vital functions. It's essehtial to keiep body temperature under control, to?! clean, impurities from the body, '' and to maintain blood circulation and life. A slice of lime or lemon makes ' water an attractive beverage if you have an aversion to plain water. Speaking of aversions, did you ever annual warmup to the beautification program in Pleasant Grove. Service groups are asking what they can do to help and one of the most likely places is near the railroad overpass on Highway 91. In connection with this, the Pleasant Grove Review is going to honor a yard or garden this summer which is exceptionally neat and lovely. We will have to rely on tips from neighbors or from the gardeners themselves in order to know which ones to honor. It would be difficult for us to traverse the entire city each week peeking in people's back yards to see if they have a winning yard or garden. Front yards are easier to find. Did you know that vision improves when you wait a few minutes in the dark before driving after leaving a lighted building? Vision improves especially greatest between the third and eighth week of pregnancy; hence, the warning to women who think they might be pregnant. Besides it is very difficult for a pregnant woman to even get in and out of a tub, as I recall. The best news I know of is that March 20 is the first day of spring. Our crocuses are up and blooming and the tulips are almost ready to bloom. How wonderful it is to see green again and the little purple crocuses are such a gorgeous sight after the winter we have had this year. But then, spring means lots of yard i work, raking, mowing lawns, planting gardens and watering, watering, watering. At least after this past winter we should have an abundance of water and not have to worry on that score. know anyone allergic to water (pure, that is)? Another aversion we have is to the trash that has accumulated in some areas of the city over the past while. No one likes to go up to a neighbor and say, "Hey, your yard is a mess, something about it." If you are one yard is a sight, perhaps you Ido do something about it. Donna Brock is beginning her dramatically if the driver waits in the dark two or three minutes. According to British researchers, it takes as long as 15 minutes to gain the best vision on a dark night. Did you also know that a pregnant woman should avoid a hot tub? Researchers at the University of Washington point to the risk of birth defects from excess heat.
