The allocation for the Project Turn apartment was approved with the commitment from Eric Moon, Project Turn Director, that the $3,900 allocated will be used to finance hours in counseling. BOYD IVORY, Davis County Housing Authority Director and member of the Social Services Board, said he contacted Mr. Ivory and proposed that the retarded men be placed in two apartment units in the low rent migrant housing unit in Lay-torecently taken over by Davis County Housing n, Authority.

I feel like Im coming hack home. Its good to be reporting hometown news once again like I did for so many years. Gary was the Davis County reporter for the Deseret News before he joined the sports staff six years ago. HE AND his wife Ruth and their five children live at 191 News-Journ- North 900 East in Bountiful. Gary first moved to Bountiful 20 years ago before he began as the Davis County reporter for the Deseret News. Gary began working as a sports writer for the Ogden Standard Examiner when he was 17 and still a high school student at Weber High. He attended Utah State University where he was the only freshman sports editor ever selected by "Student Life the college newspaper. AFTER graduating from Utah State, he again worked as a general news reporter for the "Standard Examiner before going into the United States Air Force. While at Warren Air Force base in Cheyenne, he edited the post newspaper. He also worked as a sports writer for the Davis Legislators Consider Important Bills All seven Davis County Legislators voted in favor of House Bill 295 when that bill, which would raise the mill levy on cigarettes by one cent per package to enforce the Indoor Clean Air Act, was passed by the House of Representatives on Monday. REP. DOUGLAS Sonntag, Davis Legislator from District 57, was one of the sponsors of the substitute bill. Other sponsors were David Harvey of Pleasant Grove and Gerald Woodmansee, Salt Lake City. Rep. Woodmansee was the original sponsor of the Clean Air Act passed by the 1976 legislature, but not funded. Davis County Health official Richard Harvey, Director of Environmental Health and Dr. Richard Johns, Director of Public Health, both lobbied for the bill in the House. i 7 7 I 7 7 - f-- i 5 7 I.-- MR. HARVEY says the next step is to get the bill out cf the Senate sifting committee onto the House floor, before the Senate adjourns on March 10. Last week proponents of the cigarette funding measure were pushing for the passage of the Senate Bill, 3 which would have raised cigarette excise taxes 2 cents per pack to fund the measure. That bill has been tabled in the Senate. Both Davis County Senators Jack Bangerter and Haven Barlow said they op- posed the Senate Bill which would raise more money needed to fund enforcement. THE SECOND substitute House bill calls for 5 per cent of the total revenue generated from the cigarette excise tax to be used for enforcement. Mr. Harvey said the bill should generate $940,000. Only $447,000 is needed to hire additional inspectors and initiate an education program against the hazards of smoking. The remainder of the money generated will go back into the general fund. AT PRESENT Mr. Harvey says Davis County health inspectors have dealt with only 4 per cent of the establishments the Clean Air Act calls on us to enforced Technical compliance everywhere is poor. Both Dr. Johns and Mr. Harvey reported to the Davis Board of Health that this lobbying effort has showed them that local health department officials have lots of clout. We have found a new and untapped resource in dealing directly with the state legislators rather than relying on the State Health Department, Mr. Harvey said. REP. SONNTAG said that local health authorities need larger staffs to adequately enforce the Clean Air Act. He said the bill will create a fund account within the general fund, allowing the funds to be used by the State Division of Health. They will contract with local health departments for enforcement, rk in Cheyenne, Wyo. for two years.

MRS. LOIS Nielsen, a public health nurse and program director, says the program provides milk, eggs, cheese, and cereal to pregnant or nursing women and to infants and children up to five who are not being provided the nutritional requirements for a diet. We try to give the children a strong start in life and begin with the expectant mother. The program revolves around nutritional guidance and counseling, Mrs. Nielsen said. When the mother, infant or child first makes application at the clinic, he or she is weighed and measured. The mother is then asked to recall the diet for a typical day. Then Mrs. Nielsen deter- mines whether the client should be placed on the program. THE NEED is determined not by a statement, Mrs. Nielsen said, but by a feeling that money is tight. That something is terribly wrong financially in the home. She described a standard case. The mother is divorced, has one child around two, and is pregnant with another. The child is below average in weight and height. The mother and child drink only about two glasses of milk a day between them and eat meat only once a week because it is too expensive. THEY LIVE on bread and cereal, but there is always in the candy and kool-aid house. Nutritional habits are poor. A blood test shows the child and mother are near the level for anemia. Both have scraggley hair and dry skin. The child is listless and dosent want to play. Personal Income Business Returns Partnership Returns X BARRY H.

THE OBJECT of the program is to work with this family for six months to get the childs weight up and give the mother a glow. This is not achieved through food vouchers alone, but nutritional education is also required. If the mother says the child doesnt like milk and so she gives him or her kool-aiI explain that cheese is available and will fill the milk requirement. We dont count calories here. Almost everyone has enough calories. Its the nutrition portant. thats im- MRS. NIELSEN says she doesnt mind using bribery if that will result in a more healthy nutrition for the family. She tells the recipients, Ill give you the food free, if youll get your family to eat. Those aided through the program are not given money, but receive signed vouchers every 30 days. They are allowed 2'2 dozen eggs every month, 36 ounces of cereal and 28 gallons of milk. MRS. NIELSEN specifies the brand name of the cereals and juices that supply the nutritional requirements needed by each person. Vouchers must be cashed within 30 days and are cashed only when an identification card is shown to the grocer. There is little abuse in the system, Mrs. Nielsen says. The program, which is designed to teach people what to eat rather than giving them food, mostly gets clients through the grapevine, Mrs. Nielsen says. A friend tells a friend. Some women and children are referred through social service agencies, others through school nurses, some unwed mothers are referred through other county agencies.

THE WIC program, an arm the Department of Agriculture began in Utah in June. Mrs. Nielsen arrived in Davis County to take over the program, under the direction of the Department of Health in August. At that time the program had received 288 referrals. The federally funded program will provide serof vices to about - 700 clients a year at a cost of about $100,000. Over a 27 month period, about $400,000 will be funded. This includes administrative costs, Mrs. Nielsen said. Mothers who are not nursing, are kept on the plement program for six months post-natcare. mothers are inNursing structed to stay on the program for 12 months until the child is weaned to the cup. Nutritionists believe it takes about six months to recover education-sup- al nutritional reserves after pregnancy. A CHILD can receive the supplementary food as long as he has a nutritional need or up to five years. Children are measured and weighed every six months to determine their growth. Infants are eligible up to one year after birth and may receive a supplementary food program longer if need- ed. Mrs. Nielsen is hoping that as the program grows, she will have more time to teach. She also anticipated that a d clinic and a family planning service will be plugged into the program. well-chil- THE WIC program has recently moved from the basement of the courthouse to the brick house that formerly housed the mental health administrative offices, rk Adams With The Sixth Fleet K.

The bulk of the funding is to provide a salary for a program coordinator who will solicit, collect and distribute food. CARL CHAPPELL, CAP Director said, The objective of the program is to provide food on a temporary or crisis basis to at least 50 persons in the county who are without personal resources. Most recipients would fall under Title 20 requirements, but that is not a necessity, he said. All applicants to receive emergency food will be to determine cross-checke- d that they are not receiving aid from another source. MR. NELSON reported that now the joint legislative com- mittee has approved Title 20 HE SAID the other option would be to open up the funding to other social agencies. Don Koideywn, Division of Family Services and member the advisory board, recommended that the board evaluate current services offered. Based on that evaluation, he suggested the board should arrive at a tentative of budget. The budget could then be opened to include other programs, Mr. Koideywn suggested. Joe Ingles, board member, suggested Mr. Nelson require all agencies desirous of obtaining Title 20 funds submit requests to the council by March 22 so that all requests can be submitted for review by the board in the April meeting.

Recent changes in the movement have come in response to the Yankalovich Study which was conducted by the national organization a few years ago to determine how boys perceived the job the scouting organization was doing to improve them and the quality of their lives. THE SCOUTING program still emphasizes outdoor activities. Camp Bartlett, Camp Lowell and Camp Kazell are maintained as summer camp facilities for scouts of the Lake Bonneville Council. 18,500 boys are affiliated with the Lake Bonneville Council.
