New officers are Case of elementary ignorance In spite of the fact that at no time in the world has so much information been disseminated and available to so many people, many in the world today are bereft of elementary information regarding the past and the present. Alameda County Superior Court Judge Stanley Golde of California recently turned down a change of venue request in the case of a killer who had confessed to three murders on national television. His attorney had asked for the change of venue saying the suspect could not receive a fair trial because of media attention to the case. Judge Golde said most juries are so they wouldnt know whether a ed trial was highly publicized or not. He cited findings of several surveys which showed that no more than 30 percent of people nationwide take a daily newspaper, about 5 percent take a news periodical and 30 percent watch television your schools issues Er answers by dr. harold johnson news but many of these watch only the sports news. The judge said the public is not well informed and said ignorance of the kind he refers to certainly isnt bliss. He was appalled, he said, when roughly 50 prospective jurors for a recent death penalty murder trial were questioned and none of Gordon president; them knew who Adolf Hitler was. chairman Barrett, Lynn Larsen, the board; vice Thomas, president for personal of Lane A recent article in the National Judges Association Magazine reported that Judge Golde said a disquieting number of individuals called up for jury duty are not well informed about the past or present and points out that what this sad state of affairs portends for the future is not so good either. With the profusion of information available in the world today, especially in this country, there is no excuse for such ignorance. Its caused by apathy and laziness. development; Ray Christensen, vice development; Keith president for community Brotherson, vice president for mangement development, and Art Porter, secretary.

Next week, all of us, rich or poor, well or sick, educated or illiterate, tall or short, skinny or fat or whatever we are, or on whatever level in between we are on, we will have a week named especially for us. Our week even starts with a celebration. To start off this big week when all of us will be honored, the State of Utah is planning a big kick off in the Capitol Rotunda on Monday morning. Many state agencies will participate in the gala event and they hope the public will join with them. So, what is next week? Next week is National Consumers Week and is being sponsored by the Utah State Trade Commission. And since all of us are consumers it could be a big party if everybody goes. When you think about it, it takes a lot of consuming to keep us going everyday. We not only buy the obvious and necessary things like food, clothes and household needs, we purchase and use an endless list of other goods and services all of which go back into keeping America moving, producing and consuming. . , Then there are those who take advantage of unsuspecting people through frauds and crooked schemes while others misrepresent and sell shoddy products. One of the functions of the Trade Commission and its Consumer Affairs Division is to alert the public to deceptive practices and misrepresentations so that we as consumers dont lose money needlessly. They help keep the system working and people who are honest honestly employed. For example, you cant spend $10,000 on a new car if youve just lost it in a phony diamond investment' scheme. Most of us learn what to buy, however, without ' the help of a government agency. We remember; the lemons and buy another brand the next time. " ' Anyway, go out and have a good time, and a happy National Consumers Week to all of us. .

A big business executive might place an order for a train load of batteries to put in the new cars he is producing and selling. You or I might buy a battery occasionally. Yet, there are a lot of us out here so the manufacturer keeps building and marketing batteries for our use, too. When we buy a battery the retailer takes our money to pay his employees who in turn buy products we produce. He also sends money to the manufacturer who in turn pays his employees who in turn purchase goods and services from other Americans. Unless we exist in a vacuum, not a day goes by that we dont consume or use something produced by someone else. It is awesome when you consider how many people are out there producing to provide us with goods and services to consume. The system is sometimes called The Spirit of America and has worked well for over 200 years. Or at least it works until someone fouls things up by consuming without producing. Take for example, thousands of people who take advantage of the system by living their lives on the public dole when they could be providing for themselves or those who have taken advantage of people and end up in jail and are supported by the taxpayers. principal, presented some information on Title I money.
