Utah always has had one of the highest birth rates in the nation. In addition, the state's youthful population has resulted in a death rate well below the national average. Migration on the other hand, is the most erratic component of population change. It is directly affected by the economic opportunities existing In the area. Out -- migration occurs when the economy is not growing fast enough to provide jobs for the available labor force. Conoccurs when versely, economic opportunities serve as a magnet to attract job seekers from other areas. 0 The decade was aper-io- d of dramatic growth in Utah.

When we ask how many marijuana cigarettes an ounce would make, no one In our crowd knew. Quite possibly that's the reason the drug has become so prolific. The majority of the population knows little about illicit drugs. Few of us would recognize it in any of its various stages, and therefore have little understanding of the attraction it has for those who use it.

"The Pope," she's quoted as saying, "he donna' play the game he maka' the rules?" Which is about where this writer stands on the subject he's starting to discuss. He doesn't know anything about the alleged benefits or drawbacks of marijuana, but is disposed to write on the matter. For what reason? It's probably our limited reader audience does not Include a single pot smoker.

There's the theory that this drug -- - you can call it what ycu will from the wide selection of terminology -- - dope, tea, grass, dagga, kef, bhang, ghanja, chares, hashish -- - isn't habit forming.
