Controlling Youth Aired at Kivanis "Family is still the most important im-portant organization in molding the behavior habits of youth," according to Dr. Reed Bradford, Brad-ford, chairman of the sociology department at BYU, who addressed ad-dressed the Orem Kiwanis luncheon meeting, this week. The speaker declared that it Is important "to teach the child from within so that the child can make decisions on the basis of his own knowledge and how he feels rather than by what the crowd dictates." He cited the four basis needs of children as follows: 1. To be loved. 2. To have good f-"w"'f m 'v. xc celve recognition. 4. To develop devel-op Intellectually, spiritually and physically. "Too often parents treat and address their children when wj in tucii keen as ii mey were sun ai age live." ur. Bradford stated. "This is one of the common complaints I hear from my own students " he added. "Three basic ways in controlling con-trolling behavior of children are by force, (which is sometimes some-times necessary), idealization (idealizing parents), and pure group behavior (sometimes good and sometimes not)," the guest speaker averred. One new member, Dr. Richard Rich-ard A. Nimer of BYU Health Dept., was Inducted Into the club. Earl Farnsworth conducted con-ducted thelniation of the new member. College of S. U.

The group elected County Attorney Arnold Roy-lance Roy-lance as chairman of a committee com-mittee to draft legal opposition to the Salt Lake claim. County Attorney Roylance told the Orem-Geneva Time by telephone Wednesday that the decision on the Salt Lake filing would be up to the state engineers. However, he said, "if this decision is not in the favor of Utah County we win carry our case to the Utah Supreme Court.' The question th courts may have to decide is whether or not the Salt Lake Metropolivaa Water Board has a legal right to file for any more Utah Lake water. Mayor Wallace told the Orem Kiwanis Club Monday that Utah Lake is already five feet beiow "compromise point" (thi is a level determined years age by a court decision) and that if the lake is lowered anothe two feet, the industrial and recreational neeas of Orem and the Central IJtah area wou.u dc in senvua jcuyaiujr.

Lake. The future development of Utah Valley depends largely on the water from the lake. "Orem Business and Professional Profes-sional Women's Club wholeheartedly whole-heartedly agree that the Salt Lake Metropolitan Water District Dis-trict should not be allowed te draw additional water from Utah Lake. Plans are" being made by civic organizations in this area to develop the lake front into a recreation area which will be of no value at all without a sufficient water level." Orem Kiwanis Club are expected ex-pected to officially adopt their resolution at tneir weekiy montn.y meeting Monday noon. Local chamber of commerce oJ icals are expected to discuss tne Salt Lake filing at their meeting today or Friday and are expected to take action at that time. The Salt Lake : application calis for two filings, one for 120 second feet and one for 149 second feet. ' City and county officials feel that inasmuch as Utah County contributes a large amount, of outfail water to the lake, the central Utah area has as much right as Salt Lake to exchange lake water for culinary water.
