' ' ' ' ' !L Orem High graduates contemplate the future with mixed emo- tions following commencement exercises Friday, June 3, at the IDS First Presidency statement on After carerui consideration, in- eluding review of available scientific' and medical information, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released releas-ed a statement on the subject of Acquired Ac-quired Immune Deficiency Syndrome1 (AIDS). The statement is for; members of the Church and reinforces rein-forces time-honored revelations from : God, including the principle of chastity chasti-ty before marriage, total fidelity in marriage, and abstinence from all homsexual behavior. The statement follows: The Acquired Immune Deficiency Deficien-cy Syndrome (AIDS) damages the body's natural ability to defend itself against disease. Unlike some major epidemics of the past that were transmitted by polluted water, insect bites, and casual skin or respiratory contact, AIDS is transmitted through sexual intimacy with infected persons, per-sons, through illegal intravenous drug use, from infected mothers to babies before or during birth, and to persons receiving infected blood or blood products. Current medical information indicates in-dicates that the AIDS virus (HIV) is not transmitted through casual contact con-tact in homes, schools, churches, or at places of work. People who are obedient obe-dient to divine commandments need not unduly fear the affliction although AIDS has infected innocent victims, including unsuspecting marriage partners, babies, and those who have received infected blood. We call your attention to president presi-dent Gordon B. Hinckley's first counselor in the First Presidency remarks about AIDS given in the April 1987 General Priesthood Meeting: "We, with others, hope that discoveries will make possible both prevention and healing from this dread affliction. But regardless of such discoveries, the observance of one clearly understandable and divinely given rule would do more than all else to check this epidemic. That is chastity before marriage and total fidelity in marriage. "Prophets of God have repeatedly repeated-ly taught through the ages that practices prac-tices of homosexual relations, fornication, for-nication, and adultery are grievous sins. Sexual relations outside the bonds of marriage are forbidden by the Lord. We reaffirm those teachings. . .each of us has a choice between right and wrong. But with that choice there inevitably win follow consequences. Those who choose to violate the commandments of God put themselves at great spiritual and physical jeopardy. . .we plead with peopleeverywhere to live in accordance accor-dance with the teachings of our, Creator and rise above carnal attractions attrac-tions that often result in the tragedies that follow moral transgression. "The Lord has proclaimed that marriage between a man and a What's woman is ordained of God and is intended in-tended to be an eternal relationship bonded by trust and fidelity. Latter-day Latter-day Saints, of all people, should marry with this sacred objective in mind. Marriage should not be viewed view-ed as a therapeutic step to solve problems pro-blems such as homosexual inclinations inclina-tions or practices, which first should clearly be overcome with a firm and fixed determination never to slip to such practices again. "Having said this, I desire now to say with emphasis that our concern for the bitter fruit of sin is coupled with Christlike sympathy for its victims, vic-tims, innocent or culpable. We advocate ad-vocate the example of the Lord, who condemned the sin, yet loved the sinner. sin-ner. We should reach out with kindness kind-ness and comfort to the afflicted, ministering to their needs and assisting them with their problems. We repeat, however, that the way of safety and the road to happiness lie in abstinence before marriage and fidelity following marriage." Members of the Church should extend compassion to those who are ill with AIDS. We express great love and sympathy for all victims but particularly par-ticularly those who have received the virus through blood transfusions, babies afflicted from infected mothers, and innocent marriage partners part-ners who have been infected by a 'Sleeping at Canyon More than 150 children will appear ap-pear on stage this week to perform the musical adaptation of the classic fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" at Canyon Ca-nyon View Junior High School auditorium.

In the Lord's eternal plan, those who endure such suffering, pain, and injustice, not of their own doing, will receive compensatory blessings through the Lord's infinite mercy. It is well to become informed about AIDS and to avoid actions that place oneself or others at risk. Laws and policies dealing with attempts to control the spread of AIDS are being adopted in many countries throughout the world. Members should become familiar with the laws and policies in Cable officials respond to service complaints By Jeanne Thayne Representatives of Insight Cablevision, a cable TV system, were on the hotseat last week at the city council meeting in response to several complaints received by the City regarding poor service from the company. Wayne Pearce of Insight explained explain-ed that the company was now in the final stages of completing "work we can feel confident with."

"In your opinion if that's appropriate vote for it. Arlington Arl-ington is maintained by all of us." Council member Kevin Clayton said he objected to spending taxpayer money in Camp Williams. I'd rather AIDS their own land and join in wise and constructive efforts to stem the spread of this debilitating and dead--ly affliction. The Lord has not left mankind without clear guidance on matters that affect our happiness. That guidance is chastity before marriage, total fidelity in marriage, abstinence from all homosexual relations, avoidance of illegal drugs, and reverence and care for the body which is the "temple of God" (ICor-inthians (ICor-inthians 3:16). ment all summer and are now working work-ing on the south portion of the city." He said Insight has serviced 90 percent per-cent of the city already and added about 8000 new subscribers. He also said the company spent $1.2 million last year and has lots of new services including 11 new channels. Pearce said Insight has had difficulty dif-ficulty responding to the nearly 700 telephone calls a day and were able to answer only about 80 percent of the calls. "We have been asking people to write us as well as call," he said, but indicated Insight should be able to take care of all calls within a couple of weeks. "Right now we're doing all we can."
