Over thet past 75 years, PTA has become synonymous with just about everything that is American. Its influence has been felt from city councils in small towns to the halls of Congress in Washington, D.C. PTA has even left its mark on the other side of the world in Japan, where the parent teacher associations have been patterned after the structure of the National PTA. Like most large organizations the National PTA has its share of problems. It has been the tar get of extremist groups who have dubbed it communist, and has been attacked from within and without, and has been called everything from "do nothing to "meddling bf its critics.

The program would develop ways to train volunteers working with the courts and supplementing the work of its staff members with a goal of providing more individual attention for each child in trouble. The volunteer might provide tutoring or remedial training; or might simply lend a helping hand in one to one relationship. Communities where this program has been tried, report not only individual successes, but an improvement in communication between juvenile courts and the public. As a result of the National PTAs Smoking and Health Project, more than eight million brochures have been distributed to children in an effort to make theirs a smokeless generation. The National PTA also has designed a project on Childrens Emotional Health, and has implemented a plan for converting existing PTAs into PTSAs (parent teacher student associations). and H Savings Bonds Up for August in Utah E August sales of E and H Savings Bonds in Salt Lake County totaled $827,856 bringing the figure to $6,880,351, stated volunteer County Bonds Chairman Henry J.

Colonel Peay stated that one of the major provisions of the new act will provide for a two year extension to July 1, 1973 of the induction authority of the President.

Price and Rent Freeze. Roland V. Wise District Director of Internal Revenue for Utah said that, as part of their regular duties, revenue field personnel will make reviews of wage - payment agreements, leases, and price lists to make sure that businessmen not only understand the Wage, Price and Rent Freeze regulations, but are also implementing them. The Director added that the provisions of the Presidents program require businesses to maintain, for public inspection, a record of the highest prices charged during the base period 71671-8157Mr. Wise stressed that the emphasis will continue to be placed on voluntary compliance and that when it becomes apparent that a proprietor may be violating the Presidents order, the IRS will attempt to persuade the proprietor to voluntarily.

Outdoor Activities Polled in Utah From Survey Made by Utah State What did you do this week in the way of recreation? Watch a ball game or go mountain climbing? Over the next year, several thousand Utahns will be asked this question as the Institute for the Study of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism at Utah State University conducts a survey to determine how Utahns participate in Outdoor activity. During the year, 7,800 families will be asked to participate. They will be mailed a questionnaire and asked to fill it out for a one week period. They are to list all outdoor activities for this wek. They say what they did, where they did it and how long they spent doing it. The results of the study will be used to determine what outdoor recreation activities Utahns enjoy and thereby tell the state planners what is needed in facilities and resources. We feel this study will help to improve outdoor recreation areas and facilities for all Utah citizens, states John Hunt, director of the Institute. Of course, the important part is that people ' participate. The question form will be sent to 1800 families in each season of the year, fall, winter, summer and winter. There will be 1800 families four times a year or 7200 different families polled. Three different weeks are selected for each season, so everyone will not be recording their activities for the same week. The families who are being asked to participate were selected randomly and are distributed throughout the state according to population distribution. The form is very easy to fill out and it is stamped and self addressed so it may be returned easily. We have made it as easy a3 possible in hopes of getting a high return. To establish the needs and wishes of Utahns for recreation, it is important that we receive most of the questionnaires back. If we do not receive enough, we will have to phone some of those who do not respond, he said. The first questionnaires are already out and are to be filled in for the week of Sept. 3. Other questionnaire forms for fall will cover the weeks of October 7 and Nov. 27-O- 11-1- 8-1- Each Utah high school should now be selecting a delegate to the annual Utah Senate Youth Conference, Oct. 21, at the State Capitol Bldg., according to Allen Bauer, social studies specialist of the Utah State Board of Education. The select group of high school juniors and seniors will meet for a day long series of activities designed to sharpen their knowledge of democratic procedures. Utah Senate President Haven J. Barlow has asked all state senators to urge high schools in their areas to send delegates to the conference. About 67 of Utahs 91 high schools were represented last year. Delegates must be serving in an elected student office. A test which measures students knowledge of government is given to determine the schools selection. At the conference delegates are judged on their ability to communicate their ideas, involvement in group discussions, effectiveness of comments and poise and speaking ability. Consideration is also taken of the academic record, extra curricular and community activities, leadership ability and test score. Two students are then selected to attend the national Senate Youth Conference scheduled for January in Washington, D.C. The nationwide event is sponsored by the U. S. Senate and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation. if ifs printing .. . dial 364-846-4 paonpoaiui ;sjij sba puog aift jboX aift aoujs jsnSny Xub joj pjoooj b ;as sxqj, uoiniui 3ui 921$ ouios Xq xsnSny ssBdjns uoiupu 9X9$ a.idA spuog isl Conference of Older Americans to Meet In Salt Lake City "Developing Strategy for Aging in the 70s will be the theme of a regional conference of older persons scheduled to meet Oct. 3 at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah.
