This statement seems to hold true as a wedding band forces high school dropouts. Reasoning needs clarification to understand why a student marrys and is automatically expelled from school, atyet, one year later divorces and tends school again. Other incidents reveal students with children attending not beingexpelled because no wedding ceremony was performed. It seems logical that a married student needs education every bit as much, if not more, than any other student Narrowmindedness or maybe just not enough research or thought is considered in this law. Local leaders are given local control yet they are constituting a law not accepted by the majority of local people. It is a fact Box Elder School District is among the few in Utah or in the United States that have this law. Is this not actually discriminating against certain people?

Their relationship becomes evident when one realizes that food is the input to nutrition. Nutrition is the sum of the biochemical and physiological processes concerned in the maintenance and growth, repair of the living body as a whole and its constituent organs. Nutrition education is truly a health insurance policy for today's changed family life. Of course we got along all right because we grew up in a different world. We ate together at home and had little pocket money. Today 18 million mothers are working outside the home with perhaps Insufficient time for setting good examples and preparing meals. Family members have conflicting schedules, money for snacking and too little interest in eating for their 'tables. 7 Now lets talk about color soul satisfying color incur gardens and yards. Trmonton is a beautiful city with well kept green shrubs and lawns. There are so few flowers to give color to enhance the architecture of the homes. Fve wondered why this was. Could it be the time andenergy involved. A few bedding plants such as petunias, geraniums, marigolds. aKeratum. zinnuas, asters, all annuals, grow very well in our area. They can create splashes of brilliant colors to delight the owners and the passer byes. At little cost the plants can be purchased at stores and murseries. With a few bends and scoops of soil these can be planted with little effort and a great reward of color t .jj (Soncern health's sake. The fact that a good assortment of food is available in the home is no assurance that family members will choose to eat it. Nutrition education must then be geared to all family members attitudes, habits, then information. Nutrition education in schools should not even be an "extra," but an "essential."
