Senator Jake Garn of American policy, foreign part Utah Phone (R-Uta- h) said Wednesday. a letter to Sen. John Aparkman, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, warning that any attempt to change the present ban on abortion funding overseas would result in a major legislative conflict. Mark O. Other signers were Sen. Jesse Helms Hatfield (ROre.) and Sen. Richard Schweiker In the letter, the senators pointed out that the Foreign Assistance Act of 1973 specifically precludes use of funds to pay for the performance of abortions as a method of family planning or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions. Events over the past several years, the letter continued, indicate that the issue of abortion and the right to life deeply affect the moral conscience of our nation We believe that the present law has prevented the U.S. from becoming embroiled in a similar international controversy. Many Third World nations strongly reject abortion as an alternative to their problems, the letter stated, and the U.S. would be foolish to adopt promotion of abortion overseas as its official policy. We hope that the committee will not deem it necessary to raise the issue of abortion funding as part of American foreign policy when the Senate is already facing a pressing legislative calendar for the remainder of this Congress, the Senators stated. 6.

In fact, according to Harris, only 15 out of every 100 in either inAmericans have a great deal of confidence stitution. The only influential institution which ranks lower are advertising agencies. Significantly, this news comes at a time when the union officials are lobbying feverishly for a labor law reform bill that is intended primarily to increase the unions' clout, and most likely would create more problems than it solves. The legislation was introduced in July 1977 by Sen. Harrison Williams and Rep. Frank Thompson, New Jersey Democrats. The House of Representatives approved its version of the bill in October. The Senate will wrestle with the proposal in the weeks immediately ahead, as soon as the Canal Treaties debate is over. According to an analysis by The Heritage Foundation, the legislation (H.R. 8410 in the House and S. 1883 in the Senate) would, among other things: 1) Impose strict deadlines for staging union representation elections; 2) Give federal agents the discretionary authority to levy heavy financial penalties against businesses that are found to have resisted union organization, or to have committed some other unfair labor practice. Among the would available be declare the to punishments employer ineligible for any federal contracts for a period of three years; 3) Expand the National Labor Relations Board from five to seven members; 4) Give the NLRB the authority to dictate contract terms to any employer who is found guilty of refusing to bargain in good faith for a first collective bargaining agreement with a union. It is curious that backers of the legislation are touting it as "labor law reform, because it would do very little to improve the law . The fact is that federal labor policy is admittedly out of whack hut heavily weighted to the advantage of profesreforms would sional union organizers. The proposed in the their favor. more law even weight heavily would applaud an honest effort to reform labor law. For starters, we might consider outlawing strikes that are in a secret ballot election. not approved by the We might also consider legislation to protect workers from union fines and other forms of discipline that are used to keep them in line. And we might consider outlawing all' forms-ocompulsory unionism, where workers are forced to financially support unions in order to keep their jobs. These would be real reforms. They would benefit after all the workers, who are supposed to be the beneficiaries of our labor laws. (Feulner is president of The Heritage Foundation, a research organization.)

WE DO MORE WITH LESS SSI With LESS Hunger, Its Impact in Utah will key a statewide e conference April 21 beginning at 9 a.m. at the Redwood Center, 31000 So. Redwood Road. According to John Scott, Coordinator, April 21 has been condeclared National and State Food Day. The one-da- y ference will kick off a statewide food drive aimed at replenishing the pantries of Utahs 30 Emergency Food Banks. Many people like to pretend that hunger does not exist in Utah. In reality, we have children who go to bed with empty stomachs. We have senior citizens who are forced to divide their Meals on Wheels lunches into three portions to make them last the day. We have mothers and children who need emergency help because they have no money and resources to buy nutritional food. We have young, pregnant girls, who do not receive adequate nutrition to keep themselves healthy, let alone their unborn child, he said. The one-da- y free conference will look at the extent and kinds of hunger occuring in Utah. Panel discussions will examine the current food programs now in existence such as Food Stamps, Women, Infants and Children (WIC) feeding program, school lunch program, school breakfast program and summer feeding programs. It will be a time for professionals such as nutritionalists, physicians and social workers as well as public assistance recipients, middle income family members, moms and dads, to sit down, share ideas and hopefully come up with some meaningful suggestions for impacting the problem of hunger, Scott said. conference, a statewide food drive Following the one-da- y will be held to replenish the stocks of food in Utahs 30 community pantries. Cooperating in the massive food drive will be Boy Scouts, schools and churches. A drive is also planned among state employees. The need is so great that our food banks cannot keep food on the shelves, Scott emphasized. The food drive will include a massive door to door campaign April 22 throughout Salt Lake County by Boy Scouts. Sunday, April 23, churches across the state will ask their members to bring commercially canned food to donate to the food drive. Schools will conduct food drives the following week.

I was charged with writing the lyrics, which Mildred T. Pettit, a musician said must come first. I am a member of the North Ogden 10th LDS Ward, North Ogden Utah Stake. Before going to bed that night, I prayed and asked that the right words could be found for a new song for the Primary. I went to sleep and awakened in the early hours the next morning, and the words came to me--th- e lyrics which I sent to Mrs. Pettit the next day. We worked together over the chorus, and within a week, she sent me a special delivery letter, and in it was the music for the song. Her son, Dr. William Pettit Jr. met me a month ago, on March 27 in Salt Lake City at the office of Elder Howard W. Hunter of the Mormon Council of the Twelve Apostles. Elder Hunter was Employe 1 president of the Pasadena Stake in California at the time Mrs. Pettit wrote the music. She died april 9, 1977. Dr. Pettit at this time told me how his mother worked on composing the music the music for the song. I told him it was too bad she wasnt alive to hear the famous choir sing the anthem for the world to hear. I remember in 1966, a letter written by a Mormon serviceman was forwarded to me through the Primary offices. The soldier had been active in the Church and was stationed in Southeast Asia. He mentioned that he was awakened from his sleep in Bangkok by the song being broadcast and he recalled the words which came to him: Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way, and to this day I have felt the spirit of the Lord as a companion. Here are the verses of the popular song which now with a new verse added has been adapted as an anthem, according to Eider L.
