It kills more childlen between the ages of three and fourteen than It by Shirley n ' When we send our school age children to school every day, we are in a sense giving them to the school teachers for more waking hows than they will be at home. We expect and trust the leachen to teach them the subjects they have been trained in. Not only do the teachers teach these subjects, they are a role model, a character builder, they teach hygiene, influence and build study habits and are often someone who will listen to a students sad story or the opposite, a delightful experience. They can be looked at as substitute parent, displinarians ami rannsrincs. Teachers are trained to watch their students who seem mwcMoiiy tired, cross, hungry or nervous or upset. Unfortunately, they do observe these characteristics in their classes far too often and akng with these emotional problems, they find physical abuse that can be coming from the home. . In all my school years, only once did a classmate come to school and show me die braises on her back where her father, who just stopped by for a day or two, had beat her and her younger sister. The mother immediately sent him on his way. It is not uncommon for teachers now to have students who suffer with bruises, lacerations, bums, broken bones, no warm clothing in the winter, dirty and rigged clothing and unclean bodies here in our rural schools. Our hearts are touched whenever we see someone physically or emotionally hurt We have the urge to protect, to comfort and to help in any way possible. We cry a cry of sorrow when we visualize this type of treatment on a small defenseless child. All parents become angry or frustrated with children occasionally. Most of us can control that anger before damage is done to the child. There is help available not only for the victim but also for die one doing the harm. If you know of a child who is befog abused, notify authorities at once. Whenever you suspect abuse notify law enforcement We some-timhesitate to notify suspected abuse, but it is far beater to be safe thansorry. Sorry we would be if our failure to notify rothorities caused ftrthef injury or death of an innocent child. ' Remember, every child has the right to be safe, well and free to live in a home that is a haven and comfort to them. d, es JUST THOUGHTS From Bessie's collection If you want your phone to ring, just step into die bathtub.

Charles Duikee, who had been Governor of Utah since 1865, had ji$t returned to Utah firm the east ot the eve of the celebration. He wtp weak from the trip and with his sdfoewhat fragile health did not attend. (Brigham Young, president of Tqe Church of Jesus Christ of Saints, had gone to visit die settlements in the southern part of Utkh after the close of the Church's Ariril general conference, and did ngt return until after the Lat-ted- ay Union Pacific started at Omaha and built westward 1,028 miles while the Central Pacific began at San Francisco and built eastward 878 miles. Keen rivalry between die two lines had helped complete die transcontinental railroad with unprecedented speed in die saga of rafooad building. Rumon said Mormon leaders did not welcome the railroad with enthusiasm because of die outside in- fluences it would bring. But Brigham Young said he wouldn't give much for a religion that couldn't stand the advent of the railroad.

Utah Foundation Reports: Constitutional Amendments Largely Forgotten in 1 990 With the controversy and spirited debate ragfog over the initiative that would remove the sales tax on food in Utah, little attention has been given to two proposed constitutional amendments that also will be presented to the voters on Nove. 6. Thia is die opinion of Utah Foundation, the private research organi-zatio- n that examines and reports on problems and issues faced by state rod local governments fa Utah. Proposition amber 1 would amend the state constitution to allow counties, cities, and towns to establish special districts to provide health care services. At the present time, the constitution allows the creation of special districts for hospitals, but nothing is said about ocher health care services. Supporters of the proposed amendment pram out that hospitals nuty not always be die most tive way to provide health care services in some of the rural areas of die state. By replacing the word hospitals with health ears fa the constitution, it would give local areas other options and allow more flexibility fa meeting health care needs throughout die state. Proposition number 1 would amend die state constitution to allow the legislature to adopt measures to ensure die continuity Norwegian School Annal Halloween Fundraiser And now.. .there is four...
