HIGH COUNCIL Child Abuse Is Too Important To Ignore ran into his breathless and wide-eyehouse and began gasping a horror story worse than anything hed seen on TV in Weeks. Young Marvin, HED SEEN his friend Tim at the playground with a black eye and purple marks covering his body. Tim said his Dad had beaten him. Marvins Mom saw Tim, and sure enough, there are the bruises. Under the circumstances, what should Marvins mother do? THE LAWS of Utah say that anyone who knows or reasonably suspects that a child is the victim of neglect or abuse is required to report it to the local city' police, county sheriff or office of the Utah Division of Family Services. The State of Utah protects those who make these reports. As long as they are made in good faith. The law holds citizens making reports on child abuse immune from civil or criminal liability. THEY ARE also exempt from participating in any criminal prosecution or other proceeding against the parent. The latest available figures show that Utah is the state in the nation in reporting cases of child abuse and neglect. DURING A recent year, 3,357 cases were reported in Utah, and 90 percent of them involved neglect of children, and 10 percent were cases of physical abuse. However, many cases never came to the attention of the authorities.

It enables you to budget your time better for the essentials of grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking and caring for your baby and family. stroller, playpen, carriage or in your arms. Keep him out of direct sunlight and protect him from mosquitoes and bugs. IN THE afternoon baby will and so should take a nap - ing BY THE time baby is one to three years old, some schedule should surface. When he awakens in the morning, his bed will probably be wet. He and his bed must be changed and then he should get his breakfast feeding. If baby is taken care of first, you can proceed to get breakfast for your husband or family in relative peace. By the age of four to six months, baby may just sleep until eight or nine in the morning, and can be attended to after the rest of the family has gotten off to a good start. THE MORNING hours in any event are when you are at your peak, so try to get chores out of the way first thing in the day. After babys bathing he should in get a bottle of water, juice or even a feeding, if his meals are three or four hours apart. After this is a good time to run his wash. After lunch, and perhaps feeding again, is a good time to take baby outside in a Victor Gordon, Utah's Black Ombudsman, said this week that he is being treated unfairly by the Black Policy and Advisory Council who have asked for his dismissal. THE COUNCIL wants me out because they disagree with the direct: 'n I give in my position as Black Ombudsman, Mr. Gordon said in a recent interview. "They are in favor of social, governmental supported programs and I favor our community doing more to support ourselves." He said that when the action was taken for his dismissal last August there were only ten members of the council present. The in favor vote, he said, was of his dismissal, including the vote of the council chairman. hawthome, you if you are up at night with him.

REGARDING the decision for dismissal, Mr. Gordon said that it stemmed from conflicts associated with the Ogden Community Action Program. The director of the Ogden CAP, he said, is chairman of the Black Policy Advisory Council. Not only was the action taken with only 10 members present, there was no representation from several areas, including Salt Lake City, Logan and Tooele, that have large concentrations of Mr. Gordon black persons, said. signments, (3)' failing to file reports of meetings, and (4) refusal to allow the council to have stationery printed for them. THESE ARE important have been I charged and I may take the case to court, he said. Mr. Gordon noted that he was to meet with the governor last week and perhaps would accept another position if there was a job opening at the same level as his position. d DAVIS COUNTY is Mr. Gordon said allegations against him include (1) refusing to answer telephone calls and other messages, (2) refusal to carry out work as 1850. Smith and Arabasz say the book summarizes results of and studies important experiments by U faculty, staff and students directed at understanding seismicity, earthquake hazards and the feasibility of earthquake research SAY that detailed in the the volume was principally funded by the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Science Foundation and the state of Utah. The book has been disto tributed libraries throughout the state and to government agencies. ' ! con- INSTRUCTOR Magazine recently polled kids, aged throughout the nation. If the standard for polls mentioned in the first paragraph is correct, then the magazines survey was a good one. What are the students favorite school subjects? Are you ready for this one? Math ranked number one! Next came gym, reading, science, art, spelling, social studies, creative writing, English and music. Grandma ; -- v ASKED ABOUT their favorite homework assignments, the kids favored math and reading. Watching television did not rate as the students favorite thing to do in their free time. First, they want to play outside. Next, they like to read books. TV watching was in third place. THE Instructor Magazine poll showed that the students interviewed chose athletics as their number one selection for careers. Other choices, in order, were movie star or TV entertainer, doctor, teacher, nurse, artist and policeman. Football ranks as the students favorite sport, but soccer is coming up fast. Its number two. Then comes baseball, swimming, gymnastics, hockey, basketball and tennis, ice skating and downhill skiing. MENTIONED many times in the survey as books they enjoyed were Charlottes Web, Stuart Little, Wrinkle in Time, and Little House on the Prairie. Sports and mysteries were categories. What is the favorite food of these students? Its pizza. The other favorites, in order, are steak, spaghetti, tacos, hamburger, chicken, ice cream, lobster, lasagna and Chinese food. g WHEN ASKED what they want of their parents, many said they wanted to stay up late, watch TV programs they like and receive larger allowances. But many gave a poignant answer in this day of broken homes: They want their parents to "get back together again. Theres little or no confusion in the minds of American citizens about the biggest problem in our schools. GALLUP POLLS over the past few years have shown time after time that the public sees discipline or the lack of it as the schools largest difficulty. In fact, nine of Gallups first ten yearly polls on education showed that the public considers discipline matters the most serious problem . - - agree. concern that has been around for longer than those ten years. Many have read of Socrates lamenting how children of the Fifth Century B.C. had contempt for authority, contradicted their parents and tyrannized over their teachers. Yes, its an old problem, but thats no reason to ignore it. CANCER HAS been around for many centuries, but that doesnt discourage science from seeking ways to halt that disease. Discipline is one of educations hottest topics. Educators professional publications use barrel after barrel of ink on this subject. Teachers attend seminars and Em had heard someone say that the mails had been very irregular lately. The males irregular! she exclaimed. "It was just the same in my day no trustin em. - ii workshops that deal with discipline. THE STATE Board of Education and other agencies are waging a press, radio and TV campaign aimed at enlisting the cooperation of parents, teachers, school administrators and students in an effort to promote the idea that discipline pays.

If you teach your child respect for teachers and other students, you are probably taking one of the most effective steps possible in dealing with a problem thats older than Socrates. - rlM |
