This is the story of Conrad Jarrett, 17 years old, who has just returned home from eight months in a mental institution after a suicide attempt. His homecoming, which he had anticipated with confidence and optimism, is in reality frightening and confusing. His parents, who have always considered themselves ordinary people, find themselves in the rather extraordinary situation of dealing with the emotional illness of their only son. Like most parents they tend to blame themselves for Conrads problems and, in their efforts to conpensate for a failing that they dont understand, the tension increases. Fortunately, Conrad finds help in the person of Dr. Tyrone Berger, the wise, loveable psychiatrist who helps him to relive and the incident which eventually led to his loss of hope and the suicide attempt. Conrad learns other things life from Dr. Berger which help him to understand that some things cannot be foreseen or blamed on anyone they can just be endured. Judith Guests first novel is an expertly written, compassionate and absorbing story. Free Woman; the life and times of Victoria Woodhull by Marion Meade. Knopf, 1976. Can a woman be elected president of the United States? We still dont know the answer, though most of us think she can someday. .Victoria Woodhull believed she could in 1872 when she became the first woman candidate for President. History books rarely record her candidacy. It was not taken very seriously be most people and quickly forgotten. At that time women were not even allowed to vote. Politics was strictly a mans occupation. But Victoria rudely ignored all conventions of her time. She was a radical feminist, a stockbroker, a newspaper editor, socialist and public speaker. She advocated legalization of prostitution, reform of marriage and family institutions and free love. She shocked the men and women of the 1870 s and would, undoubtedly, shock quite a few today. But she was a fascinating woman who dared much and gained little but was never afraid to fight for her beliefs. She brought up questions so terrifying that generations of women would be afraid to touch them again. Not until the late 1960s would feminists once more begin to pick up where Vicky left off.

Mentally retarded adults I feel that much of our success with this program in other parts of Utah is based on the fact that liv- ing in Cache, Rich and Box Elder counties will soon have an opportunity to take part in special classes designed to meet their individual needs and interests, Elaine Sharp, executive director of the Mental Retardation Association of Utah, has announced. Keith Idell, a resident of Logan, has been hired by the association to organize and direct a community education program for the retarded in the three-count- y area as the result of an agreement with the Bear River Association of Governments, she added. Community school programs for retarded citizens are being offered in a number of communities throughout Utah, and typically offer students an opportunity to improve social skills, master independent living skills, and learn how to sue community resources. Recreational activities are also provided. Complement Center This program is intended to complement the retarded adult day care program center established recently in Brigham City. The day care program provides learning and social activities during the day as the name implies. Most classes and activities in the new community school program are held in school facilities during the evening or on weekends when the buildings and equipment are not being used by regular day students. In an effort to locate people who might be interested in the program, Idell is working with the Division of Family Services, the State Department of Re . . . habitation and other agencies who serve retarded people in the area.

All preschoolers are March Keith Idell program director p.m. Films featured will be: The Pigeon That Worked a Miracle and Secrets of the Undersea World. Everyone is welcome. the activities are planned to meet the express needs and interests of the participants. "We do not develop the program and then expect people to fit themselves into it, notes Terry Curtis, director of MRAUs community school project. This kind of program helps many retarded adults take a more active part in managing their own affairs and serves as a social and recreational outlet, too," Curtis explains. Idell is a graduate of Brigham Young University where he received a BS degree in psychology in 1970. He has worked with mentally retarded residents at the Utah State Training school in American Fork both as a volunteer and professionally. Idell served as an officer in the U.S. Army Ordinance division for four years and returned to BYU to work on his masters degree in therapeutic recreat- ion in 1975. Married and the father of two young children, Idell is an enthusiastic Rugby player. He plans to become an active member of the Logan Rugby team.
