As parents are we forgettin-tt- e unportant part thatxam-Pl- e Plays in a child,s we expect our children to do as we say, not as we do' Don't adults have a. moral obligation to obey the law give a day's work for a day's Pay, respect other people's rights and property? if we don't continually strive to set a worthy example can we ex-pect more from our children' In one year (1958) Utahns spent $53 per man, woman, and child in the state for li-quor and tobacco. Records of a former Utah County sheriff indicate that 75 of persons held in the county jail during his adminis-tration were users of intoxi-cating liquor. Science is daily finding more convincing proof that continued use of tobacco causes cancer of the lungs and stomach. Can we as thinking adults set an example in the use of these insidious practices know-ing the possible results? The violence, crime, and sadism that pours forth into our homes from our television sets are influential beyond our comprehension. Do we accept these programs as regular fare and do nothing about them? Even much of the music we listen to is created to appeal to our baser senses. Another field of influence for which we adults are re-sponsible is the filth and smut that we allow to seep into the magazine racks and also through the mails. A recent check in an adjoining city re-vealed that 70 of all porno-graphic material was purchas-ed by adults. This has become a half-billio- n dollar a year racket aimed at the innocent youth of our country. J. Edgar Hoover points out that the majority of criminals that are brought into court are adicts of porno-graphic books. Many of the motion pictures we see are of the sexy sugges-tive type. Because we encour-age them through our patron-age, they are the ones our children see when they attend. If adults demanded better films and ignored the sensa-tional ones, the movie makers would soon be forced to raise their standards. Also, millions of paper-bac- k books with lurid covers - and racy stories are sold each year while the great classics of literature are being passed by their potential for cultivating our minds and inspiring us to better living. The majority of the enter-tainment mediums are not of-fering us material of a character-bu-ilding nature. Here again, let us point out, that the children themselves are the recipients, not the creators, of these forces. President Eisenhower has be-come alarmed to the extent that he has asked for the or-ganization of a Youth Fitness Council in each community for the purpose of improving the conditions that influence our youth. The National Parent-Teach- er Association and the National Federation of Wo-men's Clubs are cooperating actively with the president's program. As parents, do we have the courage of our own convic-tions ? Do we hesitate to stand up and declare a wrong when we see it, or do we expect someone else to take the re-sponsibility to make the neces-sary corrections knowing that our children are our greatest asset as well as our greatest concern? Tomorrow's world is in the hands of today's parents for they are training the children of tomorrow's world. The Biblical admonition ap-plies as well today as it did hundreds of years ago: "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he Is old, he will not depart from it." A recent state-wid- e survey of junior and senior high school students revealed that teen-age- rs want and would welcome closer family living, better examples in religious tolerance and activity, more supervised recreation, tighter law enforcements particularly of the dispensing of liquor and tobacco to minors, more stress on vocational guidance and more opportunities for gifted students, and the privilege to work. The survey showed emphasis on the part of most teen-ager- s to eliminate the attitude of many young people of "getting something for nothing." accordian solo.

Basket bail League Pians Made by LDS Ward Groups Approximately 160 deacons and teachers of Springville Stake, were guests of the Stake Aaronic Priesthood com-mittee as a special program and social Wednesday evening in the Third-Nint- h ward church.

Sr. High Student of the Week . . . Editor's Note A series of "Students of the Week" is be-ing published hi the Spring-ville Herald, recognizing stu-dents in the senior class of the high school student body. A student-facult- y committee se-lects the student taking into consideration such attributes as citizenship, school service, at-titude and use of capacities.

This comment is typical of the views that students and faculty of Springville High School have about the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Boy-er.
