There was no definite pattern either by geography or party lines. Voters obviously crossed over in making their choices. Two races for the Utah House of Representatives were extremely close as was the two-yecounty commission battle between William L. Packer, Democrat, and his Republican foe. Dale G. Baron. According to total but unofficial tabulations from the countys 54 districts, Packer emerged the victor by 22 votes. The tally was 5,199 to 5,177. Young Wins In the other commission race, Malcolm C.

"Teachers are expected to spend a minimum of three to five hours per year on a drug unit as outlined in this guide," a preliminary statement reads in part. The Curriculum provides a systematic approach to drug use and abuse. For example, fourth grade students are to be taught about the proper use and dangers of home medicines. The fifth grade touches on inhalants commonly found around the home plus dangers of marijuana use. In the sixth grade, the guide moves to a aistory of drugs and related problems with focus on abuse, discussing LSD, amphetamines, etc. and emotional The physical, psychological effect and danger of drug abuse and social problems and drug abuse are geared for seventh and eighth grades.

In addition, the district is expected to put new tires on the car and pay for any damage when it is turned back. Its an economical agreement for the schools. What pushes up the Box Elder cost is instructor pay and this is the area being explored for possible reductions. For instance, the instructor at Bear River High school last year received $9,476 for teaching 169 students for an average cost of $56. Dr. J.C. Haws, district superintendent, said by holding driver education during hours, some $10,886.40 could be saved over the course of a year, based on 1969-7- 0 figures. This is because when instructions are given during school, teachers are paid according to the regular salary schedule. During hours, they receive . $20 per student which is substantially less. Dr. Haws reported that Principal Carroll Nichols said the hours approach would work at Box Elder High where there are four cars in use.
