Show YOUNG MARRIED FOLK DEPEND UPON PARENTS tS. A strikingly large number of young married couples in Utah are dependent upon their relatives for support according to Z: O. J. Wheatley, Utah State planning project leader. This is probably the most outstanding finding of the county planning boards as the result of inventories taken in 25 Utah counties during the past winter. Some of the counties selected se-lected at random illustrate the situation. Utah county for instance reported re-ported 554 young married couples who have only partially established establish-ed themselves and are primarily Johnson; the exercise, "Mothers' Day", Primary department; song "Home at Four", Margery Robinson, Robin-son, Afton Passey, Connie Cheney, Chen-ey, Lorene Eller; talk, "The Secret", Se-cret", Church History dept reading, "Be the Fellow Your Mother Thinks rou Are", Gordon Kearl; ekratg-.

Juab county reports 202 young married couples who are primarily primar-ily dependent upon their relatives for support out of 1900 families in the county or nearly 10 per cent of the total number of families. fam-ilies. Box Elder county reported 244 dependent young married couples out of 3800 total families in the county or approximately 6 per cent of the total families. In their deliberations, county planning boards were aware of the large number of young dependent de-pendent families but. were almost al-most universally surprised when these families were totaled and compared with the total number of families in the county. Dr. Wheatley reports. As a result of the county inventories in-ventories showing this shockingly large number of young couples who do not have an adequate opportunity op-portunity to make a living without with-out the assistance from theri relatives, county planning boards are more vigoroulsy searching for and evaluating ways and means of stimulating more efficient crop and livestock production, carefully careful-ly planning ways of initiating needed additions tu their "irrigation "irriga-tion water supplies and examining examin-ing any other possibilities which might mean increased income for these young people. The county planning board proposals pro-posals worked out so far to meet this "young people" problem are not panaceasi but reflect careful thought and offer considerable hope, Dr. Wheatley concludes. |
