Its not widely known, however, that the potential for free lunches lots of them exists. American food suppliers destroy $6.2 billion worth of or edible food each year that cant be sold because its or packed in dented cans or broken cases. The Department of Health and Human Services following up on mis-labell- mis-color- President Reagans call for the private sector to take a greater role in providing for Americas needy is actively encouraging food wholesalers food to and retailers to donate their useable but food banks, which are set up to distribute the food to the organizations that give it to the poor. The Department is careful to point out the tax advantages of such donations. As chairman of the Senates Labor and Human Resouurces Committee, I oversee the HHS Department, and I am pleased to back this sensible effort. Food banks, after all. pay attractive dividends. They feel the needy without sticking the taxpayer, while at the same time helping to cut the losses and boster the image of their donors. Donors also benefit by dealing with only one organization, rather than the many that distribute food to the poor; they only have one phone number to call, and one tax receipt to collect. Orphanages, nursing homes, churches, drug or alcohol abuse centers and other charitable organizations are spared from soliciting all over town for needed food and are given access to a wide variety of food items at one location. Food banks biggest advantage, however, is simply that food surpluses are made available to needy people, according to Dr. Lowell Bennion, the executive Director of the Utah Community Services Council, which manages Utahs food bank. The Utah food bank oversees the distribution of food surpluses to organizations in towns including Ogden, Logan, Price, Provo, and St. George, which then give the food to the needy. Food is disbursed from the food banks Salt Lake center. There is one problem. W e need more space, including cooler space, said Dr. Bennion. Enough square feet of storage area, and refrigerated storage space is needed, as is the continued donation of surplus food.

Seasons in the Sun and Frank Sinatras "Loves Been Good to Me), told an audience that he had been sexually abused and physically beaten and that, in his opinion, there is every reason to believe that more than one million children will be sexually abused at home or driven from the security which we call familv life. There are understandably no firm figures on the number of abused children, although many experts have estimated that 400.000 are abused annually. At one northern Utah high school, four students have reported parental sexual abuse, raising the statistical possibility that about 1,000 Utah youths may be current victims. McKuen told the second National Conference on Sexual Victimization of Children that he was sexually abused by an aunt and an uncle when he was seven years old and was later beaten by his alcoholic stepfather. He never told his mother and stepfather of the sexual abuse and although he has written a book and appeared on televised panel shows concerning the search for his real father, he had never previously spoken of his experiences. His decision to tell the world was prompted by the need to let the public know its happening next door, in the next room; its just that nobody talks about it. These children have no voice of their own. The only means of prevention I can think of is that everybody who cares about anyone must get involved. The psychological scars still remain. I felt invaded. he told the audience. I didnt understand really what was happening. I just understood that it shouldnt be happening. I always felt different from other people. I always felt there was something wrong with me. Today. McKuen is considered a success by the literary lions. He has sold an estimated 12 million books and his .verse has adorned countless calendars, school folders and posters. But McKuen has shared more than his talent he has also shared his childhood fears and his call to action. Utah does not exist in a vacuum. The call is for us to act as well.

State Auditor W . Val Oveson announced there is no d problem with improper government activity within the regarding the of the The second seminar will be directed at small businesses that either have a computer or are considering buying one. It will be held in two sessions, June 26, in Mark Greene Hall, Business Lecture Building.

Sheriff report given 5-- mid-Ma- (r 22-2- 486-213- During a press conference, held in conjunction with leaders of the Utah Public Employees A ssociation, Oveson concurred with the UPEA position that solutions to governments internal problems should be solved administratively where possible. But a vehicle for reporting alledged problems involving ones supervisor must be provided. UPEA originally took issue with the establishment of the telephone line because of its inherent implication that public employees are corrupt. The organization questioned the expertise of operators receiving the calls. It wondered why a separate process needed to be established for identifying alleged government waste when a system already exists. That responsibility lies with individuals in government supervisory positions who are paid watchdogs of public assets, said a UPEA spokesman. The association also opposed the policy of accepting anonymous calls which may do nothing but harrass innocent state workers. The auditor and UPEA Executive Director Clark L. Puffer issued a joint statement that they have agreed to limiting the life of the service to October 15. After that time, their offices will corroborate on drafting legislation for pinpointing potential problems. Information and experience secured from the operation of the hotline will be used in this effort. Puffer said hes sure the cooperative product will be similar to the Whistle Blower Bill his organization sponsored during the last legislative session. W e hope to establish a permanent mechanism for the investigation of problem areas and for coordinating their resolution with other state agencies and offices. said Puffer. Like the auditor, were certain Utah is no worse than other states relative to fraud cases. And there is probably less of a problem in government than in private industry. But we are also concerned about squashing it if it does exist for the benefit of our members as well as that of the general public. Both Puffer and Oveson said future callers will be asked to identify themselves to aid the investigation of their tips. But every protection will be afforded them in securing their identities, if requested. the operator will Since there is only one telephone line transfer calls to one of several persons trained to properly deal with each issue. No resolve was reached regarding the semantics problem of calling the service the fraud hotline. Oveson casually suggested renaming it the honest employee hotline because he hopes dedicated, concerned workers will utilize it to enlighten state officials to possible problems that cannot be resolved with their supervisors. But since the days of the program are numbered, all agreed the name was insignificant. the auditor's office has received a Since its establishment in total of only 39 calls. The attorney generals office has been asked to investigate two reports of possible imbezzlement and one instance where a state vehicle may have been misused. Callers have reported perceived improprieties in the Department of Transportation, the Department of Social Services and Job Service. According to Oveson, the latter two departments have excellent investigative divisions and are presently looking into the matters. Utah's hotline was pattered after those in use by the state of California and the General Accounting Office in W ashington, D.C. Two other states also have similar programs. Oveson said he has no idea how much can be saved by operating the hotline. But he is anxious to work with UPEA, which he perceives as a positive, professional organization, in benefiting the people of the state. Puffer concluded by saying hes certain his members will be comfortable with the hotline program now that several critical issues have been resolved. Operations, and the Rewards of Planning.
