Credit Union Covered By Savings Protection Fund The Millard Education Association Associa-tion Credit Union will be covered along with other such organizations organiza-tions in Utah by a Savings Protection Protec-tion Fund established by the Utah Credit Union League, according to Karl S. Little of Salt Lake City, League managing director. "Purpose of the fund is to help protect the savings of credit union members should a financial emergency emer-gency face any of Utah's 276 credit unions," said Mr. Little. Objective of the savings protection protec-tion program is to achieve a Fund of $630,000 by 1977, according to Mr. Little. Funding of the program will be accomplished through yearly year-ly payments into the Fund equivalent equiva-lent to seven and one-half per cent of the net dues income of the League. Should needs exceed the Fund's resources, a procedure U established whereby Utah credit unions can be assessed one per cent of their gross earnings for the previous year. Rabbits Romp Beavers 65-52 Friday night, February 1, the Rabbits cleverly outwitted the Beavers, Bea-vers, defeating them by a score of 65 to 52. Although the Rabbits were in great shape, Beaver was stronger than had been anticipated. The thing that hampered Beaver most was the fact that the Rabbits were able to force them to throw the ball away. With the outside sinking of the baskets by Adams, Farnsworth, and Odean, who scored scor-ed 11, 16, 10 points respectively, the keyhole shooting was opened up for Bud Bailey and Pace, who scored 8 and 15 points respectively. Paul also led the game in rebounds re-bounds with 12 as compared to Goff's 10. At this point Paul leads the team with 52 rebounds in league games. Many of the points made in the game were the result of the assists which were made by Larry Odean. (An assist is enacted when a player sets up a teammate for an easy basket.) In this game Beaver's shooting from the field was 41 and Delta's 42. In foul shooting the team made 9 out of 10 baskets, or 90. John Greathouse, who missed the one shot, has missed only 4 foul shots the whole year and at the present time is leading the team with 84 in foul shooting. Greathouse came up with 2 points and Knight, with 3. This is the way the scoring went by quarters: 1 2 3 4 T Delta 17 13 15 2065 Beaver 17 12 8 1552 After the game Coach Applegate replied thus to my query: "The reason I did not play Doug was that he injured his knee the day before the game, and I wanted to be sure he would be able to play this coming week against Mil-ford. Mil-ford. My biggest problem this year is knowing whom to put in the game, because I feel that all of the team are excellent." ; This Friday starts the second round of league play. The Rabbits will start by tackling with Parowan on our home floor. This promises to be an exciting game. Come and enjoy it.

All trustees are residents of Salt Lake City except Mr. White who resides in Magna. At December 31, 1962, there were 120,000 members and 276 credit unions in Utah with total assets of $72,000,000. Dimes March. . . To conclude the DHS March of Dimes Drive, the Student Council sponsored a dance Friday night, following the Delta-Beaver Game. The result was a generous total of $113.25 for the worthy cause. We were happy to see such a large crowd, including many of our Alumni. Vicki Valdez started the march as the first record was played. Stu dents came; dimes rolled; and Mr. Twitchell, ticket-taker, gathered' them in. Carol Ann Fowles Matsfers Work Up Take-Downs' "Gentlemen, it all comes down to character. Character makes you what you are and I expect you to be better than you are I expect 150 out of you. There's not one of you that can't win. Come up to the challenge, men let's go over there and set the records straight. It's a big challenge I think you"re going to accept the challenge and not let them beat you." This was the essence of a pep talk I purposely purpose-ly overheard as I was looking for Coach Porter to obtain an interview about his wrestlers. I got my interview too "Wonderful "Won-derful bunch of boys good character. charac-ter. They really come up to the challenge they're not supposed to be nearly so good as they are. We've got three or four kids this year who have never wrestled before be-fore but have done a tremendous job. We've won twelve meets in a row, counting Alumni and Milford; lost none." (an Impressive record) "Take-downs Is what we work most on if you can win the takedown, take-down, nine times outa' ten you can win the match. Our philosophy is to work on his legs. If they haven't got their legs under them they can't wrestle." "Dean Losee is our leading defensive de-fensive wrestler he's had only two points scored on him all season. Jerry Callister, and Jim Poulson have scored 96 points they're our leading offensive wrestlers. All of the team are really outstanding, and real gentlemen you just wouldn't find a better bunch of j boy's." I This was the extent of our dis-' cussion, and the coach went back to coaching. I stuck around for a while to watch the callisthenics. I was very much impressed with the! right hand left toe exercise, for with every touch of the toe one of these words was shouted "YOU-RABBITS-BEAT-MLLARD" over and over again. I left with coach Porter's voice still ringing in my ears. "Come on, get the lead out." "Pair off and try for take-downs." "YA DON'T LOSE THE TAKEDOWN TAKE-DOWN IS THAT CLEAR!!!"

The areas tested included Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Engineering, Social Science, and Business Administration. Ad-ministration. The results of the test have been compiled and test data has been accumulated from other students throughout the nation so that w:e can make a comparison with our own students. The parents of these eleventh graders were invited to the high school to review the results of these tests and discuss with Mr. Cropper the information the tests gave. The meeting was well attended at-tended and much pertinent information infor-mation was given that will aid parents in helping students In their selection of college work. Our school placed well above the national average in almost all of the areas tested. Pat Kernell fall? Which win? Will the Seniors let down and be beat, this being their last year? Or will they save their pennies for a win? Will the Juniors give up and be defeated? Or will they drag out the old sock for a winning copper?

One of the more fascinating and informative classes at Delta High is American Problems, taught by Mr. Glen W. Seegmiller, who has a great store of knowledge on sub jects discussed in this class. Throughout the year such things are studied as: American Government, Govern-ment, Problems of population increase, in-crease, "Will our standard of living drop as the population increases?"; Mental health, "How are we to determine de-termine where the dividing line is between the normal and those below be-low normal?"; Dope, "Nothing matters mat-ters to the dope addict; he would just as soon kill you as not." Mr. Seegmiller has also collected many magazine and newspaper articles on these topics to make them even more interesting. Recently the class completed a section on Communism, concerning which Mr. Seegmiller states: "In our American Problems class we studied the philosophy of Communism Commu-nism for several weeks. The lives and teachings of Marx and Engels were considered and this way of life was contrasted with our own American way of living. Comparisons Compar-isons of state ownership with that of private ownership or our capitalistic capi-talistic system were carefully contrasted." con-trasted." Upon completion of these comparisons com-parisons each student was asked to write a theme on his feelings about Communism. Here are excerpts ex-cerpts from several of these papers: pap-ers: CAROL McCULLOUGH: "I didn't realize that Communism was such a bad thing. Before we studied it in American Problems I knew it wasn't very good, but I wasn't concerned about it. But now I really understand it and I want to do everything I can do to curtail cur-tail its spread. "Communism in its philosophy is a very good thing. To live in a larch of Dimes Makes Sains in Birth Defects, Arthritis People say everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it. Until just recently, a similar observation could have been made about birth defects. Not only had no one done anything much about the problem but, in truth, people nave always been luctant or afraid even talk about the subject. The tragedy of this affliction has beset mankind since the dawn of recorded history. Yet no organized attack on birth defects was launched until 1958 when The National Foundation-March of Dimes entered this medical area. The reason for this historic decision was that birth defects constitute the world's greatest unmet childhood medical problem prob-lem today. Meeting the problem, prob-lem, moreover, entailed fund raising on the same multimil-lion multimil-lion scale as was required by the long, costly but successful fight of the same health organization organi-zation against polio. Marks 25th Year The March of Dimes, now marking its 25th anniversary, last year appropriated more than $4,000,000 for research in birth defects, arthritis another an-other baffling disease which is the nation's No. 1 crippler and on certain aspects of polio and other virus diseases. On birth defects research alone, the March of Dimes approved grants totalling $1,200,000, with about another $800,000 earmarked ear-marked for regional treatment centers. Directly financed by March of Dimes chapters, these "grass roots" centers today number 31 and are located across the nation. The need of funds for these March of Dimes-financed treatment treat-ment centers, particularly in the area of birth defects, is urgent. In the 50 states, the full extent of the problem was not appreciated until March of Dimes medical advisers reported re-ported that about 250,000 infants in-fants were born yearly in this country with significant birth defects almost 700 a day, or one every other minute. Birth defects cause at least 21,000 deaths each year. The chief requirements in the battle to save these lives in the future, and tc lessen the damages that birth defects as well as arthritis inflict, are world with no rich, no poor, would be wonderful. But we couldn't live it. Even Russia, though it teaches this classless society, does not practice it. It has five distinct classes. At the top are the party leaders with millions of dollars and at the bottom are the slave laborers labor-ers with no income "One thing made me realize that the people really do not want Communism: Com-munism: It is fact that everywhere Communism has gone it has taken over by force. The people everywhere, every-where, even in Russia, have never voluntarily wanted Communism. Communism has resorted to lies, propaganda, and wars to take countries over." COLLEEN FOWLES: "To get people to join the communist com-munist movement, promises of all kinds are made. Among the promises pro-mises made are: all the people will be equal, share the money and land, receive political power, have an abundant supply of food. The illiterate people lose all the sense they have and listen to the promises. pro-mises. The people who have become be-come communists find it very difficult dif-ficult to get out. An "iron curtain" was put up around all of the U.S.S.R. to keep the people in line and prevent thoughts to over-throw the government. The iron curtain keeps its citizens in line by keeping out all free thoughts and political opinions." MARIE WHITELY: "Two great failings which I feel are eating at Communism and may prove to be factors in its downfall are: one, Communism teaches atheism and forbids its party members mem-bers worship of any God other than the state. I believe that any nation which does not believe in God cannot can-not prosper and will soon fall into despair. Second, Communism discourages dis-courages all family ties. Families are split; the children are taken re- to trained manpower, equipment and time and, of course, the substantial funds that these demand. de-mand. Research into the physical calamities that birth defects represent costs stupendous sums. The cause of a type of disaster that has bewildered mankind for uncounted centuries cen-turies is unlikely to be explained ex-plained overnight at bargain-sale bargain-sale prices, or its prevention quickly found. In the areas of birth defects, arthritis and virus diseases, scientists supported by the March of Dimes were responsible respon-sible for important research advances during 1962. For example, ex-ample, in birth defects: Certain white blood cells in the mother were found to enter the infant's blood stream before be-fore birth. The possibility exists ex-ists that such cells may harm the baby later in life. This was reported by Drs. William P. Creger and Rejendra C. Desai of Stanford University. Nucleic Acid and Protein e Belief that the hereditary material called nucleic acid carries the blueprint for the production of protein was considerably con-siderably strengthened. (Protein (Pro-tein is the basic stuff of living material.) This was reported by Dr. Norton Zinder of the Rockefeller Institute. Experiments with pregnant guinea pigs established that certain hormones (such as hydrocortisone) can provoke birth defects in offspring. This was demonstrated by Dr. Richard Rich-ard M. Hoar of the University of Cincinnati. e Further evidence on hormones, hor-mones, obtained by dipping unhatched eggs in a hormone solution, led Dr. Gregory Pin-cus Pin-cus of the Worchester Foundation Foun-dation for Experimental Biology Biol-ogy to conclude that the problem of what causes some infants to be born with mixed-up mixed-up sex characteristics may be a matter of hormones rather than heredity alone. In arthritis: Key evidence was uncov- from the parents and placed in schools or training camps never to see their parents again. It has been proved in history that the family is the basis of a strong nation and when the family . is weak or 'done away with the nation has fallen." GARY WILEY: "The threat of Communism is very great in the world today. In North America alone there are 13,-000 13,-000 communists; in Latin America, 270,000. So you see that the threat is great around America Alone. "The Communist Party in Russia is a relatively small, highly select band of men and women who rule the entire country with great power. pow-er. They believe the only place for the opposition against their beliefs is in jail or a concentraton camp. "So you see our freedoms are at a great threat if we are over-come by the communist government. We people of America should realize this and stay as a whole nation and not become a dissatisfied and divided people." As you can see, the students have a new awareness of this threat to our freedom. Karen Olsen Komemakers Plan "A-Head" Wednesday night F.H.A. members congregated in the Home Ec. room to elect new club officers, and to learn new make-up and hair tricks from guest speaker, Evelyn Johnson.

These new officers, along with this years officers and ten other girls will attend at-tend the F.H.A. convention in Salt' Lake City, February 22-23.

Unexcused absences will include any not mentioned men-tioned in last week's article, and an unexcused absence will invoke the following penalties: Grades will be cut two per cent for. each absence. This wiil apply only to the classes from which the student was absent. Students who willfully sluff classes may be expelled ex-pelled from school upon the action of the scholarship committee. Students Stu-dents who have been expelled will be radmitted only if the proper arrangements ar-rangements have been made by their parents and the school board, but ten per cent of the grades will be cut for each class missed. Students are required to be in class on time. Three tardy marks will affect a student's grade the same as one unexcused absence. Most of our tardiness is due to loitering on the way between classes, class-es, standing and talking in tne halls until the second bell rings. There really is no excuse for tardiness. tar-diness. We recognize the fact that students stu-dents vary in their capacity to learn and to achieve. It is not expected ex-pected that all attain the same standard of excellence in theix school work. Anything that would endanger the grades of these students should be seriously considered. If they have a sincere desire to succeed, therefore, unexcused absences, needless staying out of school and tardiness to class are all unnecessary unneces-sary and will definitely lower the grades of these students.
