State Training School County Attorney Reports on Investigation the allegations involving criminal conduct can be substantiated by sufficient, legally admissable, evidence to prove them beyond a reasonable doubt the criteria which I am, by law, required to follow for purposes of prosecution." Wootton said that his investigation had revealed some cases of assault but that the statute of limitations will not allow prosecution after one year's passing. He said that his office had verified two incidents which were fist fights between residents and employees, but that they had been unable to determine whether the incidents were caused by employees or residents. KUTV, which began a series of documentaries on the school in November of 1975, was virtually vindicated of charges of irresponsible journalism with Wootton's statement. He reported that the television reporters had substantiated their statements and signed af- fidavits from those who were interviewed. Since the airing of the series, however, some employees have revised their original statements. He further stated that "KUTV, Inc. rendered a service to these patients in making the people of the State of Utah more aware of their problems and that if efforts are not made to eliminate them, this neglect will go unnoticed." The county attorney, likewise, did not condemn the employees of the training school describing them as "acting in the best interest of those residents to the best of their ability to do so." However, he commented that the school was understaffed, underfinanced, and that the employees needed to be better trained for their jobs in some instances. Wootton said that reports that Superintendent Paul Sag-erwas using school facilities for his private benefit were "occurring but not in a criminal sense." When the school administrator moved from his house on the campus, some maintenance of his private home and the use of the s - TO REPRESENT LEHI HIGH AT STATE MUSIC FESTIVAL Representing Lehi High School at the State Vocal and Instrumental Music Festival, to be held at Vlewmont High School on April 10th, will be Russell Daly, Scott Dorton, advisor; James Nielsen, Julie Shurtz, and Jodl Dalton.

Lions will sell the canes on city streets and in stores and other public places from Monday through Friday. Donations for the symbolic white canes will be used for the $12,000 commitment the clubs have made to support and develop the Utah Lions Eye Bank at the University of Utah. In addition to their financial supprt of the eye bank, the Lions also hold glaucoma and diabetes clinics throughout the state, (600 people were examined at the recent glaucoma clinic in American Fork). They pay transportation for the blind to seeing-ey- e dog centers and subsidize eye examinations and glasses for persons who are unable to afford them. The white cane, which has become a universal symbol for the blind, is a Lions product. It was introduced in 1939 by a member of an Illinois Lions Club who wanted to help the blind after he saw a man caught in traffic on a busy street. The man was appealing for attention by tapping his black cane, but drivers failved one-wee- to notice he was sightless. The idea of attention-gettin- g white canes was introduced to the Peoria, III., Lions Club, and all blind persons in the town were provided with white canes. The idea caught on fast, and today every state has adopted laws giving white cane bearers the right of way. Elmo Gray, Lehi Lions President and chairman of the white cane sale in Lehi, said money collected through donations for the canes all goes to the eye bank, with none going for any administrative costs.
