Show EDITORIAL Graduation held at UTC and BYU UTC Tips given on safety for children Now that summer vacation is at a close, school bells will summon thousands of Utah youngsters back to school during the same hour that many motorists are driving to work, Leo H. Barlow, Utah Safety Councils Vice President for Traffic said today. "Most of those children have been told how to get to school safely, either on foot or on bicycles. But kids being kids dont always remember the right way to do things, Barlow said. children especially lack the experience that almost automatically tells adults what to do in an unexpected situation. Mr. Barlow offered these suggestions for those driving during the school year: Remember that school yards, usually Younger Between, the Headlines By Shirlcnc R. Ottcsen empty during summer, are now filled with shouting, racing children who do not always watch where they are going. Be prepared for a child to suddenly dash into the street. Anticipate a bicycle at every intersection and at every driveway. Be ready for the unexpected whenever you see a group of children near the street. Give yourself an even greater margin of safety in rainy or winter weather when streets are slick. Keep your car in top mechanical condition. Be sure it will respond to brake and throttle. Barlow few simple precautions, stated, could mean that not a single Utah youngster would become a traffic accident victinj during this new school year. Think for two, he stated, 'for yourself and that youngster on the way to schooL A doesnt it. Here in Palmyra the farmers are busy harvesting sweet corn, stacking ? Hi again! Well, that magical yellow school bus came yesterday and whisked my five children off to school. Boy, what a change that made 'during the day! I turned on the TV and watched the programs I wanted to; or I could turn on the stereo and listen to something besides Bambi, the Big Bad Wolf and Mickey and the Beanstalk. I cleaned a bedroom and the bed stayed made all day. There werent two little girls right behind me to drag out toys and dolls to play house or toplay on their beds and mess them up. When the breakfast dishes were done, the cupboard stayed clear and the table wasnt cluttered with cereal boxes, bread, butter and jam fixins. It was so nice and quiet that I could hear our canary sing and the cluck of our one old hen out in the yard. This summer has been such a hectic one that when Wednesday rolled around I was ready for school emotionally, but my sewing machine is stacked with sewing just waiting for someone to tackle it. It has been a perplexing situation, the kids couldnt start school until I did some sewing and I couldnt sew until I sent the kids to school. It really hasnt been quite that bad - its still summer and the girls have a few dresses left from summer that they can wear. How about the nights and the early mornings lately? Feels like a hint of fall baled straw and disking fields that have already been harvested. Theyll soon be chopping field corn and filling big silos for winter feed. It seems so good to see the stackyards full of hay and straw. Granaries are bulging with grain and many housewives are busy freezing corn, bottling beans, peaches, making all kinds of delicious jams and jellies and taste tempting pickles and relishes. So its a busy time of the year and arent we lucky! I know it seems like were sorta picked on at times - too much to do and too little time, but isnt it great to have something to do and the good health ito do it. And here in our valley life is just the greatest an abundance of all kinds of fruits and vegetables, close to Salt Lake when you want to dash in for a luncheon or a visit or a shopping trip; close to aU the fantastic activities and opportunities provided by the BYU. Many campgrounds are only 20 to 30 minutes away for a steak fry or an overnight stay. Boating is just minutes away on Utah Lake and skiing in the winter up Provo Canyon. Well, enough said. Have I convinced you that we live in the greatest place on earth! Many of you who live in California, Washington, Illinois, Florida or many other places are probably suffering pangs of homesickness right now. And I dont blame you. I hope I never have to leave my little corner in our valley. See you next week. nMDSD-- E BYU Utah Technical College at Provo has long been recognized as an outstanding school in the preparation of students in education fields. vocational-technic- al This year it is introducing a complete program in general education...designed for a particular type of student and to meet a particular need, according to President Wilson W. Sorensen. First, said President Sorensen, the academic courses offered will meet related needs in many trade and vocational courses. Second, for the high school graduate who has not selected, or been accepted by, another college the program will enable him or her to beginworkonacoUege level which wiU be accepted by colleges later as transfer credit. We have been accredited for more than a year by the Northwest Accreditation Association of Secondary and Higher This Schools, said President Soresen. does not mean that everything we teach at Utah Technical College is transferrable to another coUege but we do offer a great many courses on a college level which are. A dozen classes offered in our general education program have been definitely accepted by BYU as transferrable for credit to that institution. These wiU include Fundamentals of Art, Inorganic Chemistry, Freshman Composition, History of American Civilization, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Technical Mathematics, Introduction to Music, Technical Physics, General Psychology, and Introduction to Sociology. Over a dozen more, he said, will be taught according to strict college standards and are being considered by universities for fulfilling equivalent underThese wiU be graduate requirements. Basic Drawing, Color Appreciation, Oil Painting, Water Color, Principles of Biology, Botany, Principles of Economics, Basic Speech, World History, Analytic Geometry, Differential Calculus, American National Government, Child Psychology, Vertebrate Zoology, and Anatomy and Physiology. The faculty at Utah Technical College at Provo is fuUy qualified to meet the standards necessary for awarding college transfer credit, declared President Sorensen. Registration for the program is now open and will continue through Sept. 8. Students are urged to register as soon as possible to give them plenty of time to Orchard Hills of Utah Students from this area were among 1,779 who received diplomas at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, at commencement exercises on Aug. 21, 1970.

The doctors degree was awarded Aug. to 39, masters degree to 380, bachelors degree to 1320, and associate degree to 40, bringing totals for the year to 71 doctors, 680 masters, 3978 bachelors, and It seems like weve been discussing the budget for weeks. We still have a few accounts and areas left to discuss. Lets look at health and transportation this week. The budget for health services for 1970-7- 1 is $16,000 - $12,000 for salaries and $4,000 for supplies. Nebo District contracts with the County Health Department for the services of three school nurses sharing the cost jointly. This budget remains fairly constant but does increase periodically as health costs go up. The transportation budget shows a considerable increase over last year. This is due mainly to the purchase of new buses. Last year we did not purchase school buses. The district transports 3200 students in 40 buses. We must purchase a minimum of three buses per year and preferably four to maintain a fleet ofbuses without having buses in service over fifteen years. Ideally, we should not be using buses over ten years old. Buses should be road worthy and dependable and just as your own car, tends to become less dependable and usuable, so does a bus. The total transportation budget is $170, 000 for this year. Last years budget was $105,649. Salaries account for $86,000, gas, oil tires, etc., $19,300; repairs and repair parts, $18,300; miscellaneous $2, 400, and replacement of vehicles $49,000. The transportation area needs to be improved and with the completion of the new shop in Payson and the increased budget, we hope to build a first rate transportation 21 178 associates.

In addition to the regular task of getting 3200 students to school each day, we have hundreds of field trips and activity bus trips. At one time or another, nearly all students will ride one of the big yellow buse- - either to and from school, on a field trip, to a play, to a ball game, etc. We hope that through better management and organization we can offer more service. The state pays over 60 of the cost of transportation in Nebo. The formula for reimbursement is $2.65 per mile per student per year. For example, if the student rides ten miles round trip the district would be paid $26.50 for transporting him for a year. One other item which may be of interest is the legal criteria to qualify for or for transportation. If an elementary student lives more than one and one-ha- lf miles or a secondary student more than two miles by the most direct route from the school, the district must provide transportation or pay in lieu of providing transportation. The state will not reimburse the district for transporting students under the above stated limits.
