Social workers will be immediately available to provide the services as the situation dictates, hopefully resolving the problem within the home, preserving the Family unit.

Sherman P. Lloyd joined a bill designed to expedite the establishment of an all volunteer armed force. The new bill is designed to complement the substantial military pay raises provided by Congress in 1971, he said. "This bill provides a new incentive pay approach geared to attract men and women into military specialties where the shortage of qualified personnel exists. In addition to providing needed incentives for the establishment of an all volunteer armed service this proposal will also provide a savings of nearly $177 million over the Department of Defense request. The proposed program would remove current restrictions on enlistment bonuses and permit the Defense Department to pay special bonuses to recruits and servicemen who enlist or reenlist in specalties where there is a manpower shortage. "A special advantage of the incentive pay appraoch in the bill is that special bonuses can be terminated when manpower shortages cease to exist. For example, a special enlistment bonus might be authorized for recruits in one military occupational specialty where there is a manpower shortage. If the shortage ceases to exist within two or three years, the special bonus could be discontinued. in Page Nine ' 11 487-981- 1. Credit Meeting James L.

"All children in this critical age group should be vaccinated against Red measles and German measles, which arc completely different diseases, said Dr. H. L. Gibbons, Director of Health. "Both diseases can cause serious prcblems. Although children with Red measles may suffer with fever, rash, a persistent hacking cough and red puffy eyes for only five to seven days, serious complications may follow. Pneumonia, hearing disorders and brain damage can all result from the disease. In fact, before there was a live virus Red Measles vaccine, hundreds of children died each year from complications of the disease. Dr. Gibbons said that German measles usually is not a serious disease in children, "but if the pregnant women get it, the dis City-Coun- 'Thoa Shu It not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thv eid and the fruit of thy vineyard be defiled (Deuteronomy 22: 9). There is a moral as well as a spiritual principle here It is also a ennd rule of farm-inOne of the modern theories of farming is to plant certain things together. For e. instance, men often plant beans between rows of corn. But grains in a field are to be kept separate so that one will not choke the other.

The last German measles epidemic in the U.S. occurred in 1964-6It resulted in the birth f 20,000 deformed babies and 30,000 miscarriages. The cost to parents and the public for that tragic epidemic has been estimated at close to $2 billion. He said the public mass im munization campaign is designed to help wipe out both kinds of measles in Salt Lake County. "We are seeking to immunize all children in the one to four age bracket, he said.

Earth Week 1972 Earth Week 72 caused thousands of schools and communities across the nation to join hands for the third consecutive year in the new awareness of our conservation needs . Conservation groups of the country are urging participation at the community level, with local and statewide groups using their own resources and establishing their own priorities. Due to the gross roots emphasis of Earth Week, there are no national headquarters for the event. ty Four New Grants for Model Media Centers In Utah Schools Four Utah schools have been awarded grants from the Utah Board of Education to create in tho.se schools model media centers. Ik. LeRoy R. Lindeman, administrator for the Boards Division of Instructional Media, said grants will be awarded to Skyview High School, Cache District; Riverview Junior High, Murray District; Grandview Elementary, Ogden District; and Canyonview Elementary, Jordan District Dr. Lindeman explained the grants will bring to 15 the number of model media centers operating or funded in public elementary and secondary schools in the state. He added that the concept of a media center involves a centralized area available to students and teachers containing materials such as motion pictures, books, tape record-an- d other such devices and teaching aids. The center is staffed by a media coordinator who works in cooperation with the schools teachers to assure full use of the materials. These materials then become resources which the teacher can use to broaden students educational experiences. Like the eleven existing model media centers, the four funded in these grants will become demonstration schools for other centers in the district, Lindeman said. Each center will be integrated into that particular school educational system. Once established they will provide for the large and small group instruction as well as individualized study. The centers are also used to produce materials which can not be made in the classroom. The amounts awarded to the individual schools arc: Skyview High School, $7,993; Riverview Junior High, $5,258; Grandview Elementary, $4,976; Canyonview Elementary, $5,272. Activity of community groups was expected to involve such projects as establishment of recycling centers.
