Show THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1969 PLEASANT GROVE REVIEW, PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1969 Social Security Gives Pointers For Prompt Pay If you receive monthly soc-ial security benefits and want to have your checks arrive on time, you should keep the Soc-ial Security Administration in-formed of any changes which could effect regular delivery each month. If your address changes, or you plan to move, you should notify the social security office as early as pos-sible. If your notice is received early in the month, your next check should arrive at the new address on time. It is also a good policy to advise the post office of your move. Another way ot keep the checks coming in is to notify social security when you are working, or stopping work or when you expect a change in the total amount you think you will earn for the year. Your total yearly earnings and the number of months you work de-termine the amount of benefits that can be paid to you. If any of the above events occur you should notify the local soc-ial security office immediate-ly. The reporting card furnish-ed you when you applied for benefits can be used to give this notification. The social security office ser-ving this area is located at 170 North 200 West in Provo. Telephone number is 374-501- 1, extension 7291 Legislative Group Hears About Sex Education in Utah "Is it really true?" Robert L. Leake asked after showing several documents and news-letters concerning sex educa-tion in Utah schools which have flooded the area since June of 1968. Mr. Leake, a health special-ist on the Utah State Board of Education, posed the question to members of the Women's Legislative Council last Thurs-day. He was introduced by Mrs. Marion J. Clark, educa-tion chairman. Answering his own question, Mr. Leake said the accusations are not true in Utah. He used an overhead projector to show the documents and said that in general Utah schools were ac-cused of: using SEICUS pro-duced films and materials, films showing intercourse, and films on contraceptives. Pro-moting nude sensitivity pro-grams and explaining and con-doning homosexuality. In actuality, he explained, the total "sex education" program in Utah schools, and they are not called that, are: sixth grade maturation program for girls where mothers attend with their daughters and the school nurse explains the menstrua-tion process; in junior high schools, growing and develop-ing into maturity with some discussion of venereal diseases and how they are contracted; in senior high school, physiol-ogy and emotional understand-ing of sex. "Actually," he said, "there probably is less 'sex education' now than in the last 12 years." Mr. Leake also said that SEICUS materials have never been submittd to the board of education for use in the schools He explained that SEICUS was organized in 1964 and stands for Sex Education and Instruc-tion Council of the United Stat-es. Mr. Leake said that some confusion has arisen because SEICUS has given its stamp of approval on many films made prior to their organization and which already were in wide use. "Just because they are stamped approved by SEICUS is not reason to throw them out." Two such films he nam-ed are "Human Reproduction" made by McGraw Hill and in the BYU library, and "Worth Waiting For," pro-duced by the LDS Church. Mr. Leake explained that the furor against sex education was raised first by the Christian Crusader and then political ex-tremists. He said SEICUS was first linked with a communist plot because one of its offic-ials, Isadore Rubin, refused to take a loyalty oath when he was a teacher during the McCarthy era. In 1969 the John Birch Society and Robert Welch made public statements and joined the protest against sex educa-tion labeling it a "filthy com-munist plot." Mr. Leake said that every complaint that comes into the state board of education is thor-oughly investigated. "So far there has been no basis in fact to any of the complaints." He asked those present to put their trust in the schools, see that responsible men and women are elected to school boards, and go to the school principal immediately whenever there is a question of improper conduct concerning a teacher. A question and answer per-iod followed Mr. Leake's ad-dress. The next meeting of the Wo-men's Legislative Council will be Feb. 5. Christmas Seals Campaign Progresses Well The 1969 Christmas Seal cam-paign during its first month, is progressing very well, ac-cording to campaign chairman Royden G. Derrick. "Through Thanksgiving we have raised $26,642.88, which is slightly over half our total of $52,000 which was brought in during our record-settin- g cam-paign of 1968, said Mr. Derrick. "We are pleased with the response during the first month and hope contributions will con-tinue to come in during Decem-ber so we can reach our goal for this campaign, which is a ten per cent increase over last year," the campaign chairman stated. Money raised through the sale of Christmas Seals tradi-tionally is used in the continu-ing battle to curb the deadly effects of tuberculosis, emphy-sema, other respiratory dis-eases and air pollution. 93 per cent of the funds raised stay in the state to support local pro-grams. While much progress has been made In the early detec-tion and eradication of TB germs, tuberculin tests still should be part of aonnual phys-ical checkups. If results of tests are poitive that is, they in-dicate the presence of TB germs other followup tests are necessary to confirm these findings and pills called izon-azi- d can be taken before ac-tive disease has a chance to develop. If results are nega-tive no TB germs present tests should be repeated at the next annual checkup. Anyone can pick up a tuber-culosis infection at anytime; just by breathing in germs. But daily doses of isoniazid (a drug discovered after years of re-search through monies contri-buted in Christmas Seal cam-paigns), taken for months, can handle the infection. For further information about tuberculin tests and TB, con-tact the Utah Tuberculosis and Health Association. It's a mat-ter of life . . . and breath.
