Even people w ho stoutly maintain they will not be dictated to by fashion, then continue to wear clothing which is designed not by need, not by what is practical, but by the dictates of fashion. LN A STUDY of 62 college students, psychology graduate student Robert B.

Of the 62 students interviewed, 52 had smoked one or more times at the median age of 13. Their principal reason was curiosity and they generally shared the first cigarette with a friend.

This the 1974-7was due primarily to the slowdown in the housing field caused by the soaring interest rates, tight credit, and general weakness of the economv. LUMBER AND wood products are, of course, still the chief building materials used in home construction, accounting for around 5 percent of the 5 1 price of typical home. a Almost one-haof the total softwood lumber cut each year is used in home construction. The western lumber industry, which provides over half of the nation's wood products, was particularly hard hit, not only by the slump in housing but also by the sharp decline in exports, especially to Japan. HENCE, BY the midpoint of 1980, 47.6 percent of the sawmills in the West had either curtailed production or closed down entirely. Because of the slackened demand, the prices of lumber naturally took a tumble, further depressing the industry. Owing to still high interest rates, housing will undoubtedly remain in a slump for a while longer, which will further hurt the lumber companies.

At a time when there is so much concern over the depletion of our natural resources, it is comforting to realize that timber is one natural resource that is definitely renewable. U.S. FORESTS currently cover approximately 740 million acres, of which some 488 million acres are classified as uncommercial." Trees like coal, oil and gas can be harvested and replaced with seedlings which, under proper reforestation methods, can grow to maturity in 30 to 40 years in the South and 60 years in the Pacific Northwest. Therefore, even though bil- lions of board feet of lumber in the national forests are des- troyed each year by fire, insects, disease, windstorms, inefficient logging and milling, and recently even by a volcanic eruption, this country still possesses one of the largest supplies in the world of standing softwood saw timber.

The rising number of reports of child abuse and neglect indicate that for some families the problems are beyond their ability to cope. ABUSE AND neglect of children is a devastating experience for both the parents and the children, and it is essential that more emphasis be placed on prevention of abuse and neglect. In order to do this, parents need education and emotional support. Abusive and neglectful parents are often individuals who have had poor relationships with their own parents and have had few relationships which have had positive value for them. THEY HAVE not grown up with positive parenting patterns and have little understanding of the needs and developmental patterns of children. Their own growing up experiences have left them with little to give to their children. Many of these parents have experienced excessive change and stress. As a means of providing additional support services to these families, the Davis School District Parent Education Resource Center and the State Division of Family Services Field Service District 2C have joined to develop the Parent Aide Program. THE PARENT Aide Program uses volunteers to help parents develop a more positive become less isolated from the community and acquire improved parenting skills. The object of this program is not to punish parents for mistreating their children, but to provide acceptance and con self-imag- cern for their feelings and frustrations. The volunteer provides an accepting atmosphere w'hich helps parents develop sound relationships with others. AT THE present time eight Davis County families are being served by Parent Aide Volunteers. Several more volunteers are being sought to fully meet the current need. Caring individuals who are parents themselves are needed to provide a friendly contact to parents who may be neglecting or abusing their children. Volunteers will give acceptance and concern, provide a link to the community by making parents aware of available services and will provide opportunities for parents to learn new parenting skills. NO SPECIFIC prior experience or training are necessary. Personal stability and a willingness to accept and help others are the only requirements. In addition to providing services to a family, volunteers will have a training course on developing relationships, child development, and parenting skills w hich can help them with their own families as well as equip them to work with the families in the Parent Aide Program. FAMILIES referred for services from the Parent Aide Program will be in the Davis County area. Volunteer qualifications include: over 21 years of age; caring, compassionate, parents them- selves; minimum of two hours per week to commit to the Parent Aide Program.
