THE GOOD weather has allowed time for the tennis courts to be surfaced and ready for play. Curb, gutter and sidewalks have been installed and the necessary fill dirt in the parking area will be allowed to settle over the winter months and be ready for paving in the spring. A childrens playground will be put in place as soon as possible. In the springtime, the irrigation will be installed and landscaping completed. Recreation Commitee.

Students often were assigned to make special studies in areas relating to their difficulty, whether it be stealing, fighting, poor social skills, etc. IN CONCLUSION, Dr. Sharpes writes: No alterna tive school program can survive long without the cooperation of the com- of munity, and especially parents. Successful programs require parental advice and a willingness to pitch in and help. Its American School Board Journal. , THE Dr. ARTICLE, Sharpes said, is based on his contact with the rural Sanford, Maine, district as a consultant and through a student who had become an administrator there. The program has been suc- cessful enough to become something of a pilot program jn. Maine, Dr. Sharpes said. 'Discipline problems arent just something which afflict big city districts. When reached such difficulties proportions where they had to be handled in Sanford, the school board first invited members of the community to help look into the causes of misbehavior. A list of community volu- nteers and service agencies "that work with disruptive students and their parents was developed. The list was augmented by a volunteer advisory committee made up pf school officials and people from church and community groups concerned and willing to help with the problem. FINDING THAT students '.with behavior problems most j pften come from homes where bne parent is absent, where parents have little respect for education, or where discipline or was either ; parried to cruel extremes, important that' visits to students homes. It can work, but if a program is to be successful, school officials first will have to forge new relations between parents and schools. Starting To Change Some genetic differences are beginning to appear in deer mouse populations in the islands of the Great Salt Lake after only about 3,500 years of isolation, a Weber State College professor of zoology reported. DR. J. Neil Jensen, associate professor of zoology, reported on his continuing genetic studies of the mice in the opening lecture of the monthly Sigmas Xi lecture series at WSC. He said about 3,500 years ago a dry period shrank the it until lake probably amounted to little more than pools in the deeper parts. At that time the mice could migrate between the islands and the mainlands. FAIRLY CLOSE genetic relationships still exist between mice on an island and the nearest land reacha ble by land bridges in dry periods. For example, there is a closer relationship between the mice on Bird Island, where his study has been mostly centered, and the than mainland nearby between mice on Bird Island and the north tip of the Gunnison mountain range. A DISTINCT species of kangaroo rats is found in about an acre tract on the south end of Bird Island wjuch amounts to an endangered species as it drops on some years to probably 12 10 to rats. Bird Island and many of the other islands such as Gunnison, Fremont and Carrington carry mice populations two or three times what would be expected. That situation appears all the more remarkable when it is considered that the islands dination in development of a possible Senior Citizens Center, np are generally quite bare and appear to offer little in the way of food supply or water. ONE possible explanation of what supports the mice may come from the brine fly winrows along the beaches which may get to be a foot or so tall and seem to be utilized for much of the year by the mice, Dr. Jensen said. Water probably comes from dew, he said. High waves which come occasionally throw salty spray over nearly all of a small 22 acre island like Bird. which CORMORANTS, used to nest heavily on Bird Island and helped to give it its name, disappeared around 1965 in a dry period when the island was invaded from the mainland by coyotes and other predators. Gulls are beginning to come back, but not the cormorants, Dr. Jensen said. mission report in the Kaysville Second LDS Ward Sacrament meeting at 12 noon on Sunday, Nov. 28.

Last Friday, Nov. 9, the students at Central were treated to the Walton acrobatic team from Belgium. The teams members, Willy, Manuella and Tinkerbell, highlighted the act by asking members of the audience to take part in a routine. ORGANIZATIONS cannot be treated as tax exempt under the law unless they apply to the Internal Revenue Service and receive a favorable ruling. Churches and charitable organizations (other than private foundations), whose gross receipts are normally not more than $5,000 annually, are an exception as stated in IRS Publication 557, How to Apply for and Retain Exempt Status for Your Organiza-tio- a The for Application Recognition of Exemption, Form 1023 or 1024 require information on the purposes and proposed activities of the organizations, as well as financial data.

He said the country is like a giant being bled to death by its economic lifeblood flowing to the OPEC countries. As its economic power diminishes, its military might will go the same route, he said. IN ADDITION to the critical economic situation, the country needs to learn that it cannot wisely elect presidents on the basis of the pleasantness and handsomeness of the candidates now in sight for both parties are primarily those with nice media images, rather than those who can endure the stress of reality and be capable and tough administrators. ALL THE The media have moved into a number of vacuums in modern political life and as a result now have more power than they probably should have, Mr. Halberstam said. SOME DAY the media may rue the role it has more or less been forced to play, he said. President Carter, he said, is an example of a man essentially made by the media who finds much more difficulty in managing reality Kisgiving than he does managing the news. THE MEDIA have helped make our society more volatile in a dangerous way and more subject to sudden waves of emotion. If the press loses its freedom in this country, it will have itself mostly to blame, Mr. Halberstam said. There is too much emphasis on profit in both television in Know The Does the moon really exert an influence on crops? Should certain crops be planted according to the phases of the moon? THE BELIEF that the moon affects the weather and that crops should be planted according to its phases is largely discredited today by astronomers though many hold faithfully to the belief.

IN ADDITION to the application procedure, most organizations wishing to maintain an exempt status are required by law to provide annually financial and other information to the IRS on Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax. Many organizations, otherwise tax exempt, may be liable' for tax as a result of carrying on a trade or business which is substantially unrelated to their exempt purposes. Examples of income which could be taxable to an exempt organization include profit from a manufacturing operation, retail sales, and proceeds from the operation of a parking lot. activities SOME Si i Cumulative List of are excluded by law from the definition of unrelated trade or business. Briefly, these include activities in which - substantially all the work is i H performed without compensation or are carried on primarily for the convenience of the organizations members, the sale of merchandise which had been donated to the organization, and certain regularly scheduled bingo games. Exempt organizations may be examined by IRS to deter- mine compliance with tax laws affecting their activities and financial operations. To meet the requirements for tax exemption, a qualifying group must be organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, educational, or certain other specified purposes; prohibit inurement of income to a individual or private shareholder; and comply with certain restrictions on political and lobbying activities. FAILURE TO comply with these requirements may result in IRS action to deny an application for recognition of exemption or revoke the tax exempt status of an organization.

Fight Hot Peppers With Gloves On The annual ritual of preparing chiles or hot peppers is again resulting in painful bums because of the improper handling of the spicy fruits, according to the Intermountain Regional Poison Control Center. THF BEST way to avoid the exposure to capsicum major irritant in nearly all is wearing rubber peppers gloves, says Dr. Brent R. - Ekins, poison information specialist at University of Utah Medical Center. remember And to keep your gloved hands away from your faces and eyes. Capsicum usually causes skin to become red and painful, with symptoms lasting up to a day. DR. EKINS says the painful resins can be removed by washing thoroughly with alcohol, acetone or ether. If the eyes are exposed, flush them with large volumes of water. There are many varieties of peppers that - can cause more than 140 in problems Mexico alone, according to Dr. Ekins. Smaller varieties are the hottest. The hotness is concentrated in the interior veins near the center of the pepper. LONTRARY to Dooular belief, seeds are not the hottest part of the plant, according to Dr. Ekins. Seeds only seem hot because the are close to the interior veins of the pepper.
