For the current school year, $100,-(XX- ) is spent on the program for the two elementary schools. Of this amount $7.,(K X comes from the Department of Health, Kducation and Welfare Title Ml funds.

WK FEEL that we have reached several milestones since the program came to the Tixx'le school district three years ago," Trujillo said. "We are proud of the fact that our district served as host for the first state-wid- e bilingual conference last fall."

However, the need for more funds to expand the program to tipper elementary grades, is an area of concern to program officials. "WE ARE stretched as tight as we can go right now, Trujillo explained, but if we can receive more funds under Title Ml, we will be able to expand the program into the fourth grade next fall." "At present we do not know if we can receive federal funding to expand school the program for the 1978-7- 9 year," the director said. "We are currently in the third year of funding under Title MI," Trujillo pointed out, but normally districts receive help only for five or six years. WE ARE at the point where we need to place as many bilingual teachers in these project schools as we possibly can in order to run the program effectively," Trujillo reported to the school board. Trujillo said that he and James Cowans recruit every year for minority teachers. We have had good success County high schools may adjust the cheerleading selection policy to incorjviratc 50 percent of the Superintendent Clarke N. Jolmsen announced Thursday. Johnsen said each year, schools may petition the superintendent to make an adjustment in the current school district policy of the selection of cheerleaders. THE POLICY adjustment came after eight Tooele High School cheerleaders and their advisor attended a school board meeting Tuesday and requested the current cheerleading policy le amended. Johnsen met w'ith the administra tors of the four Tooele County high schools Wednesday, and the adjustment in the policy to include a studentbody vote oj)tion was decided. last year a jxilicy was made that cheerleaders must be selected by a panel of judges chosen by the advisor, the head cheerleader and a school ad- ministrator IF THE schools decide to include the option, candidates will try out before a panel of judges and each student will be assessed on a score sheet.

SHE POINTED out that the home nursing care service provides supportive and maintenance care in chronic and terminal illness. The services provided are determined by and adapted to the health needs of individuals and families in all age groups, all diagnostic and economic situations, the Tooele nurse said. Visits by the home health care staff in Tooele may be covered by Medicare, third-partMedicaid, payments by Shield or other Blue Cross-Blu- e y com-merci- al insurance or group health plans, Mrs. Perkes said. SHE SAID that some families and jiatients pay the normal charge, However, adjustments can be made because the agency is affiliated with Salt Lake Area United Way and Tooele Community Fund and serves all citizens regardless of their ability to pay." Mrs. Perkes said the local agency is the certified Home Health Agency for Salt Lake and Tooele counties. Since April, 1976, care of the sick services have been available to Tooele County, Mrs. Perkes said, and the essential service has been nursing. Other services are available as the need is identified and requested. REPORTS SHOW that all but five of the 1,212 visits were nursing visits. The other five were nutrition visits. Mrs. Perkes said that all diagnoses were served, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, anemias, stroke, ar- thritis, etc. About 75 percent of the persons served were over the age 65 and about of the nurses visits. More than 50 percent of the patients referrals came from physicians and the remainder came from families, hospitals and other agencies, said Mrs. Perkes. two-thir- Youths Witness Inside View Of Prison by Margaret VanNoy Editor's note: This is the sixth in a of articles which portray social problems that face Tooele Couseries nty. The scene is deep inside a prison where a small group of youngsters aged 12 to 17 seated on a hard bench, face eight tough convicts, men who may serve life or life plus for murder or other major crimes. It is a part of the prison visitors never see. THE BOYS are part of a group visiting the innermost part of the prison to leam what life is really like in a peni- tentiary. that calls for the cleaning of Southern Pacific causeway which dissects the of the bill. Great Salt Lake. Swan was a Causeway Bill Signed Into Law Gov. Scott B. Nlatheson recently signed into law a bill that calls for a state expenditure of $.35,000 to affect the first thorough deep cleaning of the Southern Pacific causeway which dissects the Great Salt Lake. THE BILL (Senate Bill 43) was by Senator Karl G. Swan of Tooele. According to Swan, the objections to passage of the bill and the efforts made to defeat the bill by Southern Pacific clearly indicated that the culverts would never be cleaned to the bottom if left to Southern Pacific under previous arrangements. The bill also requires Southern Pacific to maintain the ojienings free from any obstructions to the bottom of the culverts after the initial clean is comjileted. IT IS imperative to the scientific evaluation of brine exchange through the causeway, particularly from north to south, that these openings be clear to the bottom or flow line, the state senator said. Current studies may determine the future actions by the legislature as to whether greater ojienings should be cut through the railroad fill. Those studies will lose any validity if the present design of the causeway is not operated as intended, Swan noted. Swan said he has been a supporter of efforts to breach the Southern Pacific causeway to allow for a more equitable mix of brines, north and south of the causeway so as not to penalize any particular industry. ing This is not a social studies class tour. It is not a sightseeing trip; these youngsters have all been in some trouble with the law and seem headed for more. The visit is part of a bold new experiment being practiced in several parts of the country. The idea originated with the criminals themselves, not with the experts. IT BEGAN with a father, a lifer, who learned that his son was following in his footsteps. He felt if only he could let his boy see where he was headed, if the boy only knew what prison life was really like, maybe he could be turned away from a life of crime. Statistics reveal that children are fast becoming one of the largest criminal groups in the country. Fifteen years ago youngsters aged and under committed less than 20 percent of the serious crimes. Today the figure is approaching 45 percent. shows that many of Experience these young people feel that a life of 17 crime is glamorous. They have the idea they would l)e big shots and admired by the older convicts should they be sentenced to prison. THIS IS one reason traditional methods of deterring young people from committing criminal offenses seemed to have failed. The new plan seems to have stopped many youthful offenders in their tracks. One such experiment in New Jersey produced some startling results. Of the first 3200 young people -boys and girls between the ages of 8 through 20, who were confronted by convicts, only six percent have been in trouble since. One judge remarked that in the normal course of things, he would have seen seventy percent of them again. WHAT IS it really like to be in prison? What can a young person expect once those doors have closed behind him? To find answers to these questions, made contact the Transcript-Bulleti- n with a young man who now lives and works in the Tooele area after being released from prison in another state. These are his words: Whats it like to be in prison? A tvpical day is being locked in a 9x6 cell (with toilet) punctuated only by three meals and every second or third day one hour in an exercise yard. The cells are in tiers with no windows. Very few inmates have a chance to work outside of their cells. This is TOOELE MOOSE in a maximum security situation. AT THE penitentiary I was in, and drugs are widehomosexuality spread. Violence is an every day reality with killings on an average of every two or three weeks - stabbings are the most common form of violence. The availability of dnigs is due to dishonest and cornipt guards and the incredible profit possible from smuggling drugs in prison. who lost their lives and souls to chemicals. Visiting is through a steel mesh barrier with telephones plexiglass used to talk through. Contact visits are available in the minimum security facilities where violence is less prevalent. However, dnigs are available in all levels of confinement - perhaps more accessible than in normal life. No material wealth is w'orth losing ones freedom. This is often times not apparent until too late. RECREATION and education compared to the authorities concern for confinement and punishment. It is a very ugly and frightening experience. Our source has been imprisoned twice in his life, the first time for 5 months, the second time for one year. He advises youngsters to avoid dnigs at all costs. It is not so much that using dnigs a few times could be that dangerous. Its that most people continue drag use because of peer pressures and later physical addiction. IT IS THE ugliest of all worlds. I was one of the lucky ones who stopped in time. I personally know many are superficial gestures Dinner: 6 to 8 p.m. ST. PATRICKS The former prisoner says no personal problem, no matter how bad it seems cannot be overcome. Young people are often times too proud and perhaps ashamed to seek help in times of crises. If someone has a bad problem that they cant handle themselves, it only makes sense to talk it over with someone.
