THE ATTORNEY told the commission that this year (through November 15) there have been 169 persons referred to the legal defender, some of whom had two or tree charges against them. lift! 6fii mn Rest parking becomes an issue as well as the maintenance expenses plus the liability in moving such a building and whether the proposed site was actually the best site. He stated, the council was not opposed to a museum, in fact they were in favor of one, but all they were asking was that the committee go through the proper channels and procedures with the Kaysville Planning Board and council. He stated, the council did not appoint the committee, it was a committee. HE FELT the dissolving of the committee and refunding of the money was a poor policy. The mayor feels there is enough interest in the museum that m due time the council will appoint a committee and go ahead. Mrs. Collett became angry and acted in haste when confronted with the necessary questions that needed to be answered by the council, np 127 were said Attorney Martin. ALSO, HE noted, because of the heavy workload he has been unable to follow up on cases like he should. I once had a case that the charge against the defendant was dismissed, but because of a misunderstanding he was confined in the county jail for nearly a month before heard about it and had him freed, said Attorney Martin 1 THE COMMISSION agreed to extend Attorney Martins Navy Areographer's Mate First Class Kenneth R. Adams, son of Waynard H. and Ida L. Adams of 146 S. East Clearfield, is currently serving as a member of the Staff of Commander, U.S. Sixth Fleet, operating from Gaeta, Italy.

SCIENTISTS ARE looking at other approaches. Richard Evans at the University of Houston is developing a program that teaches kids how to say no" when offered cigarettes by classmates. Early tests show the technique to be effective, he says. THE FEDERAL government is also taking a hand in effort. Joseph A. Cahfano Jr., the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, sent a letter to al! seventh grade teachers in the nation. He asked their help in steering kids away from the nicotine habit. Attorney Martin said that during the past two years the legal defenders office has saved the county an estimated $27,376 based on 1975 figures ACTUALLY, THE savings have been much more than that if you consider what the cases would cost at todays the costs, attorney explained grb g CALIFANOS LETTER asks the teachers to send him successful ideas on educating young adolescents about smoking. Hes especially interested in essays and posters by students Some educators use short films to explain tricks used in cigarette advertisements devised to make smoking more appealing UTAH HAS a law wf h says the public schools must ' teach about smoking , three ways explain the harmful effects of cigarettes, lead youngsters away from smoking, and expose fraudulent and deceptive ads. All of the foregoing represents quite an effort to prevent youngsters from smoking. REALLY, THOUGH parents probably have the very if they'll only use it This tool is best preventive tool their own attitude toward cigarettes Studies have shown that if parents smoke, their children are more likely to pick up the habit than children of IF A CHILD sees Mom and Dad smoking, this tells them its an okay thing to do. Even if such a parent urges the young person not to take up the habit, that warning has a hollow ring if the parent is puffing away a few minutes later. So thats it, parents. You may be able to contribute more to the campaign than scientists, teachers or the U.S Government.
