Its teenage pregnancy. Teen pregnancies are on the rise across the country with too little effort to stem the rising tide. Utah is among the top five states in the nation in the number of babies born to girls under 19 years of age. Utah teenagers have 1,000 abortions each year and 4,000 live births. Schools, churches and families are the logical entities to deal with the problem, yet we have no effective programs to reverse those sad statistics. The human and dollar costs to all are unacceptable. Teenage girls who have children are more likely than their peers to drop out of school and become dependent on government assis- tance. Families headed by young moth- ers are seven times more likely to live in poverty. A report from the House Committee on Children, Youth and Families shows that in 1975, $8.5 billion from Aid to Families with r- mothers.

Pregnancy information programs for teenagers receive much less emphasis than programs for already pregnant and parenting teens. Schools and parents should be concerned about this mounting problem. Schools can help if they are staffed with nurses, psychologists, and counselors. The rising statistics on teenage pregnancy lead us to believe that families in transition often are not able to cope successfully with the problem.

But we must try to find answers. s. t Gozaimos!!! , ,, Utah Open Tournament held in Cedar City. All who competed came away with awards.

Not only do the show organizers need to make good use of the weeks preceding the show, but they count on interested horse owners to do the same. Many horse show classes may d be entered by any fairly horse and horse and rider can have a good time. Several classes take weeks of final polishing to be able to perform well. The stock horse class is one of the toughest classes. Yet it is the one that horsemen traditionally take greatest pride in and spectators enjoy the most. The show is broken down into three segments. Halter classes will be on June 13, at 3 p.m. These .mmals are traditionally the cleane&t and most mannerly of the horses on the show grounds. If you would like to stand your horse up against the others, now is the time to hurry the shedding process and teach him to be bathed on warm days. The gymkhana will be Friday evening. These are the speed tests and games that are so fun. Start now to build the strength and speed to do well. The performance classes will be from 9 a.m. Saturday, June 14, until parade time at 4 p.m. Parade theme is Those Were the Days". Two new classes added to the program this year are a gaited class, and a costume class. These allow owners of specialty breeds to show, such as the Tennessee Walker and Paso Fino who have special gaits that can take the place of the trot. The costume class is to show off that special relationship between horse and rider and how they may see themselves in another time or place. e. GIRLS TRACK The girls track schedule will be the same as the boys with the young ladies competing this weekend in Provo at the BYU Invitational, then on May 10 in Region and on May 17 in State. Alana Orton has won the high jump every time she has competed. She is jumping at the 4 height. She is followed by freshman Jaime White who has already qualified for state and by Teresa Banks. Jennifer Shumway is working hard in the 300 and 100 hurdles and the 200 and 400 meter runs. She is a sophomore and is improving each competition. Another Cowgirl who is doing well and has qualified for the BYU meet is Becky Blaisdell who is participating in the 100 and 100 5-- meter runs. Most of the participants will be hoping for times and distances this weekend at BYU that will qualify them for the state meet in a couple of weeks, according to Coach Karen Kelly. The average heart attack victim waits three hours before deciding to seek medical help, according to the American Heart Association. As a result, each year 350,000 people die of a heart attack before they reach the hospital. Little League opening weekend is May 3, 19:5. We have a real PROBLEM!!!
