You no doubt are aware of the multiple criticisms leveled at schools and school leaders dealing with this topic. This statement may be of help to you in answering those who question maturation education as a part of Utahs health education program. Maturation Education as a Part of Health Education in Utah Schools, by Robert L. Leake, specialist, Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Utah State Board of Education, Feb. 13, 1969. In a Utah home an adopted boy at five years of age looked at his new parents who were smiling and laughing at the supper table and then said very seriously, How can you be married and still be happy? His sex education and family life education for the first five years of his life were quickly summarized in his innocent yet serious question. Like it or not all adults especially parents teach many lessons to children and youth in sex education and family living every day. It isnt a question of whether we will or whether we will not teach this subject. Our daily actions toward the opposite sex, toward the family unit, toward reverence and respect about birth and life, toward respect for parenthood, toward respect for the human body all speak loud and clear" to Utahs children and youth. Some misdirected and social liberals with pseudo-intellectu- their interest in intercourse education, contraceptive education, homosexual education and free have seriously retarded positive love programs dealing with maturation education and family life education in recent years. This setback has occured even in the face of the great needs of our youth who are growing up in a sex obsessed society. The emotionally packed dramatic examples in living color whether seen on the front room TV screen, the drive-i- n theater, the popular pulp magazines or paperbacks--a- ll produced and sold for profit by adults give a distorted view of sex and its role in responsible, happy family life. Utah school programs dealing with maturation education emphasize moral and ethical principles upon which family life is based. Facts alone without moral and ethical principles are not enough. Elementary teachers are encouraged to capitalize upon teachable moments in their classrooms. Respect and reverence for the opposite sex, life, birth and parenthood should be stressed. Living things in the classroom requiring care and attention further help children to see the need for respect and care of living things. When a child announces a newborn at his home Ihis is a teachable moment. When a young-ite- rs dog, cat, rabbit, pigeon has young Jand questions arise these are teachable "moments. 1 The junior high school health education program emphasizes the normal changes 5oth boys and girls experience as they begin the process of changing from children to adults. Instruction is aimed at helping students understand changes within their own bodies. Respect for the human body and its miraculous ability to know when and how to chemically say, Wake up it is now time to start to become a lady or a man," is stressed. Efforts are made to help students respect the opposite sex. Discussions also center around the misuse and abuse of sex as evidenced in venereal diseases, guilt feelings, illegitimate births, etc. The Senior high school program in health education dealing with this topic is entitled The Physical and Emotional Understanding of Sev." Emphasis is placed on wholesomeness of family life; on dating and courtship guidelines helpful to youth in refraining from sexual promiscuity; on sexual relations as being God ordained; .on understanding the male and female reproductive systems; on conception and (the growth and development of an embryo through a nine month period to a baby; on potential variations and problems in pregnancy such as twinning, the etc; on veneral diseases;, on mental health and problems of promiscuity and illegitimacy. Although many wild, untrue stories have been circulated about sex education in Utah schools during the 1968-6- 9 school year, parents should know without question that the approved curricular program does not include intercourse education, contraceptive education, homosexual education, free love, etc. It is true that questionable audio visual and printed materials are available which border on being obscene and pornographic in nature. They are not being used in Utah schools nor is there any intent that they shall be used. Again, the question is not whether or not we will teach sex education in our homes and even in our schools. Adults teach this subject every day of their lives through their actions, their values, their v' l PAYSON News and views of Santaquin-Tinti- c CHRONICLE Thursday, May 8, 1969 Santaquin NewsPhonoNotes Della Hudson Mr A SUBSCRIPTION 2 years $7 50 THE 2 BY Beulah G. 754-348- 2 Buckaroo Rodeo little Buckaroo Rodeo will be held in conjunction with the Santaquin Homecoming celebration June 13 and 14.

Rodeo celebration Plans for the annual homecoming and Rodeo celebration to be held June 13 and 14, were furthered at a meeting of the City Council here recently.

Even in the more rual areas, industry helps to supplement community economy. Problems which did not exist in the old country town arise whena farm community becomes a part-tim- e manufacturing community. Problems are largely a matter of communication. Larger industries have long recognized the need to establish lines of communications between the company and local citizens, employees, and community leaders. In smaller communities, industry officials are finding that the community newspaper may do the whole job better than any combination of media. Certainly the local newspaper is less expensive than the variety of publications sometimes used to reach all levels of the local citizenry. The local paper is carefully read by company employees, community leaders, and the general public. Communications from industry concerning labor problems, policies, plans, and current activities are carried in both news and advertising sections. Any newspaper is glad to carry bona-figneral news and feature stories about local industries. In most small communities more such news would be used if it were made available by industry. Similarly, advertising which is concerned with the promotion of company interest can, and does, result in numerous benefits in maintaining better community and employee relations. Industry owes it to its employees, the whole community, and to its own welfare to use local newspaper advertising as a primary tool of communication.

Stake Primary President Isabel Draper, states that summer type Primary programing is now going into action and urges parents, especially mothers, to assist the young people with de reverences, their jokes, their selection of movies, their very lives. Without question parents have a responsibility to teach their children about life and its creation. If they judge themselves to be uninformed and to help their own children with information, attitudes and values related to sex and sexual behavior it behooves all parents to become informed and to help their children make a wholesome adjustment in life. Parental responsibility to help children and youth grow to be acceptable to themselves and to others is paramount. Schools neither ask for nor care to assume the role of the parents. The schools role is supportive to the basic foundation of the State of Utah the home. their special handiwork and Scouting activities connected with Primary achievements. All Stake officers are asked to re- member that stake meetings are held at 8 p.m. during summer months, unless otherwise stated.
