Unfortunately, German Measles is often regarded as a relatively minor childhood disease. The fact is that German Measles is a major cuase of birth defects in newborn infants. If a woman has German Measles during her first month of pregnancy, she stands a 90 percent chance of bearing a child suffering brain damage or deafness, blindness, mental and motor retardation or muscular and bone disease. The chances of an expectant mother bearing a Rubella-defectiv- e child decrease with the length of pragnancy. Research has determined that Rubella ep;dmics run in five to six year cycle. The last one in Utah in 1964-6- 5 was responsible for the birth of approximately 200 defective children. Acioss the nation, it caused 15,000 spontan-ou- s abortions, 5,000 infant deaths and nearly 30,000 Rubella defective infants.

During the third and fourth periods at the Kanab High School, r for example (a block), Mr. Bennett teaches what we would traditionally identify a six different subjects (1st and 2nd year type, 1st and 2nd year bookkeeping, 1st year shorthand, and office practice). As many as four different subjects are being taught to different students at the same time and in the same room. Because of small enrollments in some subject areas, this teaching approach facilitates more curricular offerings and affords students a greater variety of subject areas from which to choose. This approach also facilitates the opportunity for students to work at their own rate of progress, offering greater opportunities to reach their maximum potential. Students work at their own rate, but must also meet certain minimum requirements. Mr. Bennett graduated from Southern Utah State College in 1968 with a major in Business Administration and also earned a second B.S. degree from SUSC with a major in Business Education in 1969. He is in his firs' year of teaching at Kanab High $12,500.00 and for the amount of $50.00 or not more than 507c of the total tax due, which ever is less.
