If the problem of nuclear war, El Salvador, Lebanon and defense spending are adequately resolved, our children have the most to gain. If theyre not resolved, they have the most to lose. Thats why I recently sent a survey out to some outstanding Utah freedom which our contry has, and I realize that freedom must be she said. bought, Most of the youngUtahns who were surveyed agreed. Asked if the Reagan administrations efforts to modernize our defensive capabilities and forces are too expensive or unnecessary, 86 percent answered "December 7, 1941, should no. teach us never to be unprepared for war, said Amy Critchlow of Bonneville High. Seventy-fo- ur percent of the young Utahns opposed a nuclear freeze if It gave the Soviet Union military superiority over the United States, and 87 percent supported President Reagan's general handling Eighty-eigof defense issues. percent favored the recent UJ3. action in Grenada, and 91 percent supported American measures to counter Soviet and Cuban influence in Central and South America. Response on what to do in Lebanon was divided, with 51 percent favoring the continuation of current policy and the remaining respondents recommending widely different policies. "No questions are easy when all of our lives are faced with possible said Hau Le, a judestruction, nior at West Jordan High. And too often, the questions are phrased so stridently that youd think the debate over Americas defensive strategy was between those who favor war versus those who favor peace or between those who want nuclear war versus those who dont. That, of course, is preposterous. The real question is: What is the best way to en sure peace and prevent the use of Is it best done nuclear arms? by weakening our nations defenses or by being strong enough to discourage anyone from threatening us? According to this survey of those who have the largest stake in Utahs future, the answer is clear: Peace comes through strength. ht Lets say your family could use some more money. So you sit down and think about what you could do to earn more. , Do you want a second job in the evening? Not really. Do you want to arrange somebody to watch the kids so both of you can work during the day? Again, not really. And then you say, hey, how about if you did a little knitting or baking and then contracted with the local gift shop to sell the things you make? You wouldnt get rich, but every little bit helps, and this way you could stay home with the kids. Well, forget it. The Department of Labor doesnt mind if you knit; but, if you do it at home and you do it for an employer, youve got to have a special permit. If you dont, no matter how cute the things you make, theyre required to close you down. In 1981, the Reagan Administration stopped an existing law that essentially prevented people from working at home, particularly women who knitted at home. Just a few weeks ago, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ordered the Department of Labor to start enforcing the law That enforcement should again. continue, the court ruled, until the current law can be officially relaxed and a method to protect home workers enacted. Which is exactly what a new Senate bill does. The Freedom of Workplace Act, which I Introduced late last year, allows people to work and knit for an outside employer at home without getting a special permit. At the same time, it retains the parts of the existing law that legitimately prevent the exploitation of those who work at home. Utahs Mountain Bell Telephone Company is one business that is considering a program for employees who work at home. And the employees would not be the only ones who benefit: Productivity has been shown to rise and less office space is required. It should be easier for other businesses to follow suit. Family life or parental child care shouldnt have to be sacrificed in order for a family to supplement its Income.
