By TOM BUSSELBERG BOUNTIFUL - In the eyes of many prospective em- ployers, not to mention educators, if you cant read, you cant do the job. APPARENTLY generally really good gains reported for students in the ABOUT 1,400 youngsters in the Davis School District are getting an extra helping hand throughout the school year to reach that goal of attaining good reading skills. They get the chance, each day, of one-to-on- e what is working, with theyre doing yearly testing. Theres (usually) a one month gain (in reading level) for every month in the program, and for many, its a lot more," Mrs. Harston reports. Developed by faculty from Indiana University, the district picked up the program about 12 years ago with some modifications. Those changes proved so successful the Davis District was one of five exemplary programs named in the nation and funds were allocated to carry the program to interested districts around the reading practice and teaching help for 15 minutes from a trained tutor who takes them through basic reading material, whether it be the same as in the childs classroom or similar material, explains Donna Harston, director of the federal Chapter I. reading program in the Davis District. country.

AS SECOND grade teacher Lloyd Hogan from Bountifuls Meadowbrook Elementary says, the problem is they dont get enough practice in the regular classroom setting. This is another opportunity. Its designed to encourage and strengthen their skills, for them to feel good about reading. Hes had students involved for a dozen years and says further,, Ive felt theyve made a lot of progress that they wouldnt obtain (otherwise). Its one to one that the (classroom) teacher cant always do. It makes them feel special. WE FEEL it's really an Mrs. outstanding program, Harston says emphatically.

Its a posi- teachers tive approach-t- he are trained to never be negative. It helps develop confidence, she says further, noting that while the program's made possible through a federal definition of concentrations at the schools, any child attending is eligible based on reading levels as determined in an October pretest each year and a May postlow-inco- test. AND WHEN a youngster who normally gets the tutorial help each day is absent, other students in the class want the chance-th- ey look forward to having that additional reading time, she adds. "We feel like it's been good for them to get individual help. They also have regular reading in the classroom. We try to go through one classroom as soon as we can so as to minimize disturbing regular classroom We schedule it activities. with the teacher so they dont miss anything (really) important. This cant supplant classroom activities. BEATRICE Schofield is one of the tutorial supervisors along with Karen Judkins and Susan Ward. She emphasizes the frequent conferencing with the classroom teachers to chart reading progress for students and hopefully pinpoint any problems and plan strategy for correction.

BASED ON a statistical view of leading economic rein- dicators, Research Analyst Ronda Brinkerhoff says that employment and earnings were up slightly last year, but so were property taxes. Taxable sales showed an in- crease, but not as substantial a one as in 1981, reflecting in more sales taxes collected. New home construction h on dropped by nearly a poor 1981 but the value of one-fift- that last years construction showed an increase of more than three percent, she reports.

WHEN IT was first started, high school students volunteered as tutors primarily from Clearfield and Layton high schools. This is the first year we havent had paid high school students, Mrs. Harston says, noting the adult tutorial aides receive only a little above minimum wage for their efforts. They work from two-fiv- e hours a day. And while the pay isn't great, their lasting power is great, with most returning year after year.

This makes the national average of a burglary at one every 10 seconds, according to law enforcement agencies. AND THE same situation is true in Layton City, Chief LaMar T. Chard said today in announcing that June is Burglary Prevention Month here. Mayor Lewis G. Shields has issued a proclamation asking all citizens to assist the police department in fighting home burglaries, especially as the warm weather and vacation season starts.

The previous rental changes did away with previous trade agreements utilized in some cities where a city would maintain ballfields or repair tennis nets, for example, at the schools in exchange for use of facilities, he said, with the school district saying they didn't want those agreements--there- s no way you can put a value on them. THOSE WITH the Miss Layton (Scholarship) Pageant have been tearing their hair out, anticipating how they can afford to use the Layton High School auditorium with the new rate schedule, he said further. He notes the discrepency between area school districts in their school building use cpolicy, pointing to Murray City and the are fees no where school district itys charged. A recreation coordinator is paid for half by the schools and half by the city. On the other hand, Salt Lake City District won't allow any use without rental although some community meetings are held in their schools.

Im not advocating that we necessarily have to do it the same in Davis County as was done in Washington, he emphasized.
