Show I I Its Up To Us JOURNAL, Brigham City, Utah Thursday, October 18, 1973 2 BOX ELDER Thanks for blood Editor: Now you may bo saying, he's some kinda nut geftin all excited about being up in the woods, but it's pretty hard nowadays to get away from it all. Just a line to see if you could put in the News and Journal a thank you announcement. I have had open heart surgery and would sincerely like to thank all the blood donors who so willingly donated blood in my behalf when blood donors were contacted to donate at the time of my surgery. This writer was even using a hand saw . . . yep, that's right a manual one! Hard to believe. Well, had one car filled with people stop and look at me like was some sort of nut. They musta thought "Hey look at that guy, cutting wood without a power saw, call the nut house." Very truly yours, James D. Forsgren, 417 North Third West, I I Went up Logan canyon over the weekend to cut some firewood and it sure was a pleasant experience. Oh, the Z family has been up in the woods before, during the summer and this old sage tromps through the forests during hunting season, but last weekend was different. Instead of hearing rifle shots ringing all over the countryside or having campers, trucks, and other vehicles traveling busily throughout the forest, it was quiet and peaceful. and the smell, the pine scent was fantastic. Oh were up Beaver creek and the sound of the stream was quite We soothing. Every once in a while a breeze would stir the trees a little. The temperature was just right and it was perfect for being up in the woods. Brigham City Anyway my hand saw didn't disturb the quiet of the forest. IF One guy even got out of the car and walked over saying, "You should get a power saw and cut up all the big Saturday oct. 20th only ones." just said, "This is fine." Getting on another subject the time change is in the near future. Frankly, I'd rather stay the way it I EJflUBUGSEGS is. or Can't stand it getting dark so fast . however on the other hand this writer likes having the sun up earlier in the morning. You can't win. YE OLE SAGE SEZ: Many deer hunters are going afield to seek meat because of high prices, and they want to save money. Before they leave they buy a new gun, a mess of assorted camping equipment, a pickup truck, some hunting clothes and all the other stuff to bag a buckskin. The result Is deer meat costing $5 a pound. . .

This is not true traiQ.Wpt ever-increasing- ly today. Now, as a result of the recent action of the Utah State legislature in House Bill 105, all handicapped children have the opportunity to participate in an educational experience. It is the desire of the legislature and the school disticts that every child have an opportunity to grow and develop to the maximum of his potential mentallv. emotionallv and physically. In Box Elder School district every effort is being made to identify and, through the services of competent professionals, diagnose the many vaired, handicapping conditions which cause a child to function below his level of potential. The child is then placed in one of the programs for the handicapped appropriate to his needs and level of function. AT THE PRESENT TIME those students with mild to moderate intellectual im- pairment, or those with emotional iMifmept, are served within vOlstyiCLin classes containing no more than 15 students for the intellectually impaired and no more than ten for the emotionally handicapped. Educational programs are individually designed to meet the needs of each student, and all are encouraged to progress as rapidly as they can. There are seven classroom units to serve the moderately intellectually han- dicapped, and two classroom units to serve those with emotional handicapping in Box Elder ditions School district. Thom Editor, FOR THOSE CHILDREN with more severe intellectual and or physical handicaps the school district contracts with the Ogden and Weber districts or Utah State university to provide services at either loHy AMirkiR Art CtllMtiM of KmmHi J. Ceppelle Exceptional Child center on the USU campus. At these centers various types of programs are available to meet the needs of each child. They vary from simple instruction in self-caand hygiene to the vocational training in many of the service occupations. Through these programs many of these seriously handicapped children become productive and at least partially citizens, rather than the withdrawn burden to the family, and society which they were once thought to be. Tremendous social and emotional growth also accompanies the experience of feeling success and being productive, thus lending to better mental health. It seems that your desk must be overflowing with letters from missionaries wishing to express appreciation, add my name to theirs. As one labors in the mission field it is necessary to be far removed from the home front; its a welcome diversion to be able to sit down and scan the happenings of home and friends a moment.

It isnt fair. I feel like my hands are tied. They cant measure how much students progress in the art of human relations, in creative expression, in positive They cant determine the extent to which I am able to instill in them' appreciation for the democratic process. They can only measure what facts the students learn, not how they feel about them or what they do with them. ' It is, of course, possible to ascertain what percentage of my sophomores can pass a standardized test at a level comparable to the average of other sophomore classes across the state. The test is a good ope. All self-concept- s. what ? the best authorities say so. Therefore, my objective for this year is to make sure that my students know what they need to know in order to make a at showing respectable examination time, if they score better than average, my rating as a teacher will go up. HOW GRATEFUL I am to spot a couple of last years honor freshmen on my roll. Theyll help pull up the average. But, horrors! Im stuck with that Jones kid. Hes enough, and he tires hard; but hes partially deaf and he misses some things. Hes sure to hurt my record. Today the kids suggested that we read a fantastic new book written by a man who grew up right here in our county. Its a delightful story, well written and exciting. I know theyd love it; but its not on the state list; it wont be on the test. I simply must push on through the prescribed reading. Trash, some of it! I dont blame the kids for grumbling; but there well-behavi- ed thanks Sincerely Elder Michael Mathis Kansas Missouri mission presents - With much PANAVISION" United Artists 3&g Regular DIG SEE Drive-I- n with Heaters or Small Indoor Theatre with Central heating.

Her first year type students only averaged 34 words per minute. Of course she had half a dozen kids who didnt put forth any effort at all, but the principal told her that they werent working in any of their classes, and they had to be somewhere. Then her fastest typist broke her arm and missed the last three weeks of school. Come of think of it, I got As on lots of college themes that were probably not typed any faster thun 34 words per minute. I wish I didnt feel so empty. OH FIFTH hour was fun today. Rick wondered if Id help with some poetry hes been writing. Its tremendous. We put it on the board, and all the kids started helping him with lines and ideas and images, and .... I should never have wasted the hour. I understand that iambic pentameter is the only poetry form included on the examinnation. I must not let that happen again. I wish we could put SUas Marner on trial like we did last year. I know its not in the book, but the class wondered whether or not Eppies real father could have gained custody in our modern courts; they sued up a storm to see if love is more important than money. Id better not try it this year. All they have to know is that George Eliot wrote the book and that George Eliot is a woman. made it.
