Rubella, or German measles, could be wiped out in Utah if all residents would respond to this call for action. First of all, lets learn why it is necessary to destroy this disease. After all, Rubella is a common, simple, childbirth disease, right? Wrong. German measles is a major cause of birth defects in children whose mothers contact the disease during pregnancy. Governor Rampton stated tliat it is considered that 200 Utah families will be saved untold agony and suffering by this campaign during the next year alone. A woman who contacts the disease during her first month of pregnancy stands a 90 chance of bearing a child suffering mental or motor retardation, deafness, blindness, muscular or bone defects or brain damage. The South Salt Lake News considers it vital that all residents of our community participate in this campaign. At the time we go to press, the places of the clinics are not available, but will probably be in local schools. Please consult your daily newspapers and listen for the clinic locations on the radio, and help us rub out RubeUa. Nemelka Seeks Office Carl J.

Melvin Strong Guidance services in a school or school district are these services aimed at helping pupils to make better personal adjustments in their school programs, Seen any wildlife lately? This is the theme for National Wildlife Week 1970, sponsored by the National Wildlllfe Federation. We in Utah may be more fortunate than people in other parts of the United States. Many of us see wildlife daily on our farms, along roadways, and in foothill areas. This is good, but we are not without in their homes, in their social activities, to future vocational plans, and within themselves. our problems.

It is generally accepted by psychologists that the early years of youngsters life are the really important years in his personality development. His emotional patterns, his fundamental personality characteristics, are pretty definately formed before he even enters formal schooling, at least by the age of nine or ten. The influence of the home, then especially the influence of the mother is more important in shaping his life than is that of the teachers and the school.

Love is the moat important single ingredient in the recipe for developing a well balanced personality. Love is the really significant emotional vitamin. The fear of losing love is a basic cause of anxiety, and anxiety is the soil dein which mental child The unloved velops. may cheat, lie, steal, and be a bully in an effort to get back at the world." The child who has had little love has been seriously cheated emotionally. Without a feeling of being loved a child cannot grow in Love, however, is not coddling or or living the life of another. It is in permitting another to develop into his oyn potentialities along his own patterns of development, yet feeling sure he is accepted, anchored, important, secure in the estimation of those who count in his life. Some parents follow the one extreme of coddling and protecting their children, a world that is polluted and neither can people. 'You will not see deer where plants hr.v. disappeared nor fish in waters that are polluted. Someday, if v.e ath.v.' all green spaces to vanish, i uin all waters and choke all the skies with pollution, people won't be ableto survive either.
