Show ssassaass; A Sickness and Thursday, A eaM cent. So, although American schools today are doing for nearly a third of the school population what used to be done for ten percent we must still improve further. In 1900, 66 percent oi all Americans age 5 to 17 enrolled in schools. 5 By 1976, 89 percent of those age to 17 were enrolled. In 1960 the high school dropout rate was 38.4 percent. In 1982 the dropout rate By Oackie Williams Diabetes is a condition in which the body cannot use food the way nature planned. Ordinarily the body takes a sugar called glucose out of food. A certain percentage of glucose is taken from all three basic foods -- - protein, carbohydrate and fat. The body uses sugar ibr energy and a reserve supply of glucose is stored in various parts of the body and released as it is needed. The hormone called Insulin enables the body to use glucose. In the diabetic person Insulin is either missing, insufficient in amount or cant be utilized Without the energy from glucose the diabetic is deby the body. prived of the energy needed to live an active life. Most diabetes is inherited which means that the patient acquires the gene for diabetes from one or both parents. Even if the parents were not diabetic, if the family tree is examined more than likely diabetes will be discovered. It is estimated that there are about 10 million diabetics in the United States. Among these there are many well known athletes, politicians and businessmen. Mary Tyler Moore is a diabetic. Diabetes is grouped into two types: Juvenile diabetes which occurs in youth and Maturity - Onset diabetes which occurs in adults. Eighty percent of maturity - onset diabetes occurs in persons over 45 years of age. It is estimated that about one-ha- lf of diabetics do not even know they are diabetic. Normally when food is taken into the body the substance glucose is refined out by the digestive system and picked up by the blood. The blood stream then deposits in glucose in the cells of the body tor use as energy. But the glucose cannot be absorbed by the cells without the key that opens tha door - Insulin. Insulin is secreted into the blood by the pancreas, an organ behind the stomach. Normally insulin regulates the level of glucose in the blood stream at about 80. After meals, the blood glucose level rises. Then the pancreas secretes more insulin, which lowers the blood level of glucose by allowing glucose to enter the cells. We will discuss some other aspects of diabetes next week. Bobby James donated two very nice shawls to the nursing home patients last week. She also made some very nice Easter candies and included them in baskets from the relief society, for the patients. The United Way appropriated $500.00 to the hospital. This will be applied to the purchase of a special high backed wheel chair. We appreciate this support from all those who contribute to the United Way. SUSO was 15.4 percent. The AVERAGE American is better educated today than heshe was a generation ago. MORE of the American population is now educated than in almost any other nation in the world. Science Fair day-lon- seven times in hisAer lifetime. Technology and science will dominate UJS. employment in the years ahead in the foreseeable future: By 1991 UJS. cars will be mostly of plastic and will last 15 to 20 years rather than the shorter periods of today. By 1991 over 2 12 million auto workers will be replaced by robots in the assembly lines of U.S. auto and accessory fac- persons now make up an average U.S. household. 25 percent of UJS. students are now from one parent or no parent families. 45 percent of the work now performed by U.S. workers is in part-tim- e jobs. 52 percent of females in the UJS. are now involved in the workforce. 65 percent of females in the UJ3. are expected to be involved in the workforce by 1990. The fastest growing segment of the U.S. population is that of those 85 and older.' Education numbers are shrinking (although not in Utah). 10,000 schools have been closed since 1977. 20 percent of the educational workforce has been laid off since 1970. The average high school graduate of 1984 will change careers seven of 1984 will change careers 2.7 By 8mt, Lynn Haslem SuperintMdent of Schools not Schools are getting better worse. We have room to improve certainly, but we are not the "carriers of, nor culprits for, all of the ills of society as often charged lately. At a recent training session in Richfield on circumstances of education nationwide I was impressed with materials gathered from a package by Macomb Intermediate School District of Mt. Clemens, Michigan. It is known as theMc-Com- b Marketing Plan and my information is from that source. I deem it credible and accurate.

MILFORD Our achievement scores, sometimes AVERAGING better than most because only the elite of most countries compared are educated. When we compare our elite with those of most any other nation we do very well. In Beaver County we try to push good, solid, basic education. We try also, to expand the depth and breadth of the educational offering to the limit we can fund, instruct, and enroll. We try to hire and to We think for keep top teachers. the most part we have been successful. We are proud that our students can compete successfully with top students anywhere in areas where we have been able to offer trainWe are concerned that we ing. cannot offer more training in some areas but we work to improve those areas each year. We expect some significant improvements this year under the Productivity and Career Ladder proposals. Our schools are good. We think there is no better place to learn. although COUNTY HEWS Box 369 Utah 94751 i i Builders D 1 E3EIOEI Milford, Utah |
