help them see why they did well or poorly Help them relate outcome to effort Reward improvement As we build in them a desiie to learn we may have to bolster their performance with incentive rewards Praise for improvement is a good reward Special treats of activities may be used An expert teacher I know said “W'e’d have no in our school if we could offer a motorcycle to everyone who learned to read She wasn’t saying expensive rewards are the answer She was emphasizing that motivation can mean the difference between success and failure Most students succeed in school because they value learning-at least want to avoid the consequences of failure but they need more tangible rewards a Help your students develop positive mind set toward school work Teach them tips for concentrating and remembering facts Help them develop regular study habits Children can’t in school succeed with a attitude “hopeless" t into “I can do it if I We purchased a handsome Charolais bull in the summer of

by Postmaster Tom Hamilton £25 £62 F Suspected fraud The post office is a pretty big That's not big news to organization you though But to let you have an idea how much we handle during Fiscal 1985 we processed 140 billion pieces of mail And that’s up from 133 billion pieces the year before A great deal of all this mail is the “junk” mail that you receive But guess that junk is only in the eye of the beholder Recently a TV show had a segment about a man who uses the postal service to deliver 201)00 pounds of mail to his home each year He uses all of this “Junk” mail to heat his home To him it’s not junk That brings me to the topic for the next few weeks A lot of the mail that you receive each day is mail order advertisements The mail order industry is growing by leaps and bounds each year It’s hard to tell why this is taking place with so much shopping available in cities and malls On analyst has suggested that due to our life style with both parents working in many cases there is just so much time to shop With this limit on time shopping at home for whatever you want does look good If you shop at home you don’t have to worry about crowds parking problems kids getting lost and you can shop at your leisure What more can you ask for than to shop at your leisure without crowd and in the comfort of your own home? Now that you have placed that order and its been three months since you mailed the order in you begin to suspect Fraud What do you do next? Stay tuned for next week to find out how to handle the situation In response to Harold Brown s find it regretter in last weeks paper ful that he and the IPP workers have been treated so unfairly but also find that we Mormons it commendable have been able to provide excuses for anyone that needs one Especially when they haven’t been able to find in employment or their kid didn't get the school play or on the school basketball team etc Just blame those Mormons that happen to work in an oflice and hires both Mormon The office also hired one of the IPP workers wives (can you believe also) she it she was train stayed long enough to partially had plenty of sick leave (to go shoppand then ing in Salt Lake and Provo) left us “holding the bag" so to speak go to And by the way Mr Brown the howling alley - Susan Hi Sue Tire and brimstone!

Sure there wouldn’t be a surplus but there wouldn’t be any food on our tables either Also if farming went out of business this would devastate the farm machinery business and there would be no “supermarkets” Why doesn’t the United States send all this surplus to starving countries or better yet help our own people If the new Dairy Bill goes through where the government buys out dairy herds and sends them to slaughter this will then Hood the beef market causing our beef farmers problems think people take farmers and Agriculture for granted For example if you asked a person in a big city “where do you get apples oranges milk beef etc” they would probably say “from the supermarket” I think we need to be a little more cautious If only people knew how many hours are spent on farming Me being from a farm know how many hours it takes for a farmer to milk the cows cut the hay raise a beef It is very gratifying when someone says “give me another glass of milk” instead of “well I’ll have another pop” would like to talk about farming and health think people should eat more produce Now most people in the United States would rather have a canbar than an orange dy or apple something of that sort Living on a dairy farm my family drinks lots of milk We have only had one broken bone in our family of nine That’s would say pretty good ratings From agriculture comes natures purest and best foods We would all be healthier if we ate more of them would like to finish in one short paragraph hope we will not take agriculture for granted would hate to wake up in themorning and see an empty table would hate to walk down the supermarket aisles and see them empty feel a special feeling for agriculture I know need agriculture and agriculture needs me |
