Cox Could it be memory that found her there, Wondering at how the stone was rolled away? Could it be hunger for the peaceful smile, So freely given as He passed her way? Perhaps a longing for the strength He had. To care for all of those who were in need, . To heal the sick, to raise the dead, To bless the little ones and hungry beggars feed. Perhaps His words had torched her heart, And made her know that in the strife. She could find sweet assurance from the phrase, Come unto Me, I am the Life." term installed by Emily Richardson, State UFWC Southern District Officers for 1978-8- 0 President elect.

Should Cedar do this it will fragment the system now being served by California Pacific Utilities, the proponents suggest, causing because of a smaller service area. The main purpose of the meeting was to get the organization started again which would help smaller municipal systems buy their power on a collective basis and in a more economical manner.

Since counties with small populations such as we have in Southern Utah usually exhibit greet fluctuations in numbers of juvenile offenders referred from one year to the next, the best way, and perhaps the only way, to make p meaningful comparison is to look at the numbers of referrals over a period of time, ten years for example. The average number of referrals per year for preceding ten years in Kane County stands at 60. In 1977, 95 referrals were received in the Fourth District Juvenile Court indicating what may be a significant trend upward for referrals to the Court. There are several factors which affect referrals to the Juvenile Court. The most important of these is probably the community attitude toward strict enforcement of all the laws that impact juveniles. Laws such as illegal possession of alcohol and tobacco, for example, if they were strictly enforced would result in a substantial increase in the workload of the Court. The degree to which these offenses and others are enforced vary TENDANT, AMBIDEX TROUS. CHRYSANTHE EC MUM, DIAPHANOUS. CLESIASTICAL. GERIAT RICS, INSOUCIANCE, PLAGIARISM. (How did you make out?) Supt. Swallow said, "This Spelling Bee was a fine project. Well do better next year with more students competing. I have some reservations about students putting in so much time on words they may never use again but all in all it was very worthwhile. My thanks to everyone who spelled or helped in the contest. ment to Orson Hydes dedication of the Holy Land. This garden, replacing the rubble around the old city, will be a fine memorial. Local members and friends who wish to donate a dollar or more may have their names inscribed on a scroll and placed in a time capsule in the stone wall of the grotto. A plaque will also be placed there with excerpts in their languages from Orson Hyde's dedicatory prayer. Deadline to donate to this cause is Saturday. In the Kanab Wards contact: Gwen Campbell (First Ward); Ernest Kirby (Second Ward); Ted Cox (Third Ward).

Vi J . 1 y rOSP' Another factor affecting fluctuations in numbers of juveniles referred is a substantia increase or decrease in the child population. As the population goes up, generally speaking, so goes the referrals to the juvenile justice system. The policy of the law enforce- ment agencies themselves toward referring or not referring is another factor that has a significant impact on the statistical totals reflected in the Court's annual report. Most law enforcement officers will give a child at least one opportunity to mend his ways before a referral is made. In Kane County the sheriff's department made 6 referrals, the police department 47, Highway Patrol 17, and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources 4, The schools referred 6 juveniles mostly for truancy and the Division of Family Services referred 11 juveniles, most of them for ungovernable behavior. As a result of court action in Kane County there was $946 in fines levied against juvenile offenders. There were 598 hours in work assignments completed and $331 collected as restitution and paid out to the victims of juvenile crimes.
