To make matters worse, the questions were multiple-choicthereby giving the students a one in four chance of guessing the right answer. I would bet good money that these same children could recite all the currently fashionable, politically correct, environmental extremist propaganda. A recent John Stossel piece for ABC proved that, with virtually every child in a class of young public school students spouting the party line on global warming.

The results are not at all surprising to those ofus who believe the only solution left for American education is to scrap the current system altogether and rebuilt it on a completely different premise. Consider the following; - ten percent did not know that George Washington was the first president. 17 percent did not know that there were 13 original colonies. - IS percent did not know that the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.-Nearone in four did not know who fought in the Civil War, 13 percent thought -- ty Star-Spangl- e, nt Ask A Specialist Do you have tips on getting a good nights sleep? Answer by: Glen Jenson, Utah State University Extension Family Life Specialist Most people eiyoy a good nights sleep; however, for whatever reason, there are periods of time in nearly everyone's life when sleep becomes a struggle. Sleep performs a very vital restorative function to the body. When the normal sleep pattern is interrupted for any length of time, it can have negative physical and psychological consequences. We need a fairly regular sleep pattern to function our best as employees, parents, students, spouses or in whatever other roles we play- - infants require more sleep than children, anddiildren need more than adults. Most adults require six to eight hours of sleep a night, but some need even more than eight. Ifyou are experiencing difficulty in getting a good night's sleep, here are some suggestions: Keep a comfortable temperature in the bedroom. Accordingto research on sleep disorders, people sleep best if the room temperature is between 64 and 66 degrees. Avoid consuming food or drink with caffeine or anything with a high sugar content within approximately three hours of bedtime. Both tend to Bpeed up the system. Try to avoid naps. Daytime naps seldom help sleep disorders. If you find yourself sleepy at noontime or immediately following a meal, try a brisk walk to get going again. Naps tend to disrupt night-tim-e sleep. Establish a set time for retiring to bed and waking in the morning. The body functions best on established routines. HOMETOWN BOY RETURNS Doctor has his sights on serving patients By Aldon Rachele Jon P. Wilson, 30, a new doctor of optometry at the Roosevelt Vision Clinic and a 1989 Union High graduate who was raised in Neola, is happy to be returning to the local area and wants to serve Uintah Basin customers.

I eryoy all snow sports-eno- w boarding, skiing, snowmobiling and snow shoeing, he said. "I love the winter and snow. It is my favorite time of the year. After serving a LDS mission to California, Jon attended the University ofUtah where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in human biology. He received a doctoral degree in optometry from Pacific University in Oregon with an emphasis in childrens vision and a Masters of Education degree. Dr. Wilson does primary eye care at the anything a clinic-basica-lly person needs for his or her eyes. He also specializes in childrens vision. He recently completed his internship that he started in January, and e has been since June at the Roosevelt Vision Clinic. While at Union High, Wilson was a member of the student council as the senior class president. He was the duringthe junior class school year of 1987-8"It was during Mr. Wakefields biology class that I became interested in the human eye and vision. I did an eye dissection in a unit and that really got my interest. I found it fiill-tim- nt 8. fascinating, Dr. Wilson said. "Later on I went to aee Dr. Scott Kowallis at the Roosevelt Vision Clinic for my contact lenses, and he started talking to me. He set me in the right direction," he added.

The NEA believes in the radical homosexual agenda. They call it diversity," but the truth is that the union is promotingan agenda of perversion to children too young to even understand sex of any kind. In the name oftoleranceI"ourpublic schools have been turned into propaganda centers for the "sensitivity training of innocent children.
