Ford McBride Timpanogos Community Mental Health Center Often people react according to how we make them feel about themselves. This is readily seen in the classroom. If a classroom teacher makes a child feel stupid and un-productive he will often act accordingly. The relationship that exists between a child and his teacher is special and can have a profound influence on the child in terms of how he per-forms scholastically and Psychologist Robert Rosen-thal found that a teachers ex-pectation of how the child will achieve in the classroom af-- fects how he actually perfor-ms. He conducted a fascinating experiment in which children were given a standard intelligence test. The teachers were told that the test would show which children were intellectually gifted. About 20 percent of the children in each classroom were chosen at randomn. Teachers were given the names of si-- nts and were told that the it would predict those who would mul;- - large intellectual gains during the coming year. At the end of the school year all the children were given the same IQ test they had taken earlier. Children who had been designated "gif-ted" showed a total IQ in-crease that averaged 4 points more than the other students, and a reasoning IQ increase improvement of 7 points. This is quite astounding. IQ scores are not supposed to change. Then why did the children improve? Since the children were ran-domly selected, the only dif-ference between the "gifted" and other students was in the minds of their teachers. When the teachers were interviewed later, it was determined that they saw the gifted students as more interesting, curious, adjusted, appealing and affec-tionate than the other studen-ts. The teachers also spend more time with the students and treated them better. Parents and teachers do have a profound effect on the child's mental well being. Keep in mind that treating a child as if he were a produc-tive, worthwhile individual will encourage him to strive upward and meet those expec-tations. Card of Thanks We take this means to sin-cerely thank everyone who helped us in any way or ex-pressed sorrow at the recent passing and funeral services for our beloved father, Joseph T. Mitchell. For the many kind acts, the flowers, and expressions of sympathy, we will be eternally grateful. May God bless you all. The Family of Joseph T.Mitchell l Nv,-- - .. ' --V.... f jf J V'7 r.: J.

Shadow Screens Now Illegal Recently, there has been an increase in the number of vehicles with shadow screens attached to the inside of the rear and or side windows. Some of the shadow screens are plain silver on the outside, others have scenes and designs printed on them. While the screens do not block the view of the driver, and are intended to keep the vehicle cooler, they almost com-pletely reduce the visibility of the inside of the vehicle. Within the last month, the manufacturer of this product contacted the Utah Depart-ment of Public Safety as to the legality of this product. It is the opinion of the depart-ment and the Utah State Attorney General's Office that shadow screens, if placed on the windows of vehicles, are in violation of State Law. Utah Code Annotated (b (1953), reads as follows: (b) No person shall drive any motor vehicle on which any substance or material has been sprayed or applied to any front windshield, sidewings, side or rear windows of such vehicle, or has been allowed to accumulate thereon, when such substance or material reduces the visibility initially provided by the manufac-turer. It is the opinion of the Department of Public Safety that even though this sun screen may be advantageous in terms of reducing heat and glare, there is no question that visibility from outside the vehicle is reduced. This is assuming that the vehicle is only driven during daylight hours, night visibility would be reduced even more. The greatest liability of sun screens rests with police officer safety. Law en-forcement officers in Utah feel that this product is a definite hazard to their activities as it reduces their ability to detect what could be a very dangerous situation in the performance of their duties. For these reasons the citizens of the State of Utah are being asked not to pur-chase these products, and to remove them from their vehicles. This law will be vigorously enforced. Funeral Rites for Scott K. Petersen Held on Monday Funeral services for Scott K. Petersen, 20, who died last Thursday, Nov. 17, 1977 of in-juries received in an automobile accident were held Monday at 11 a.m. in the Timpanogos Stake Center un-der the direction of Bishop Kenneth Slater of the Pleasant Grove Fourth Ward.

Learn to Drive at Utah Tech Training Course The December driver training course for adults who have never driven before or who do not now have a driver's license will begin Monday, November 28, at Utah Technical College at Provo. The course, which normally is held the first Monday of each month, will begin on November 28th in order to enable completion prior to the beginning of the Christmas Vacation at Utah Tech, at which time no classes are in session. Utah law now requires that an approved driver education course be taken before initial issuance of a driver's license. The Utah Tech course fills this requirement. The course will begin and registration take place at 5:30 that evening in the driver training portion of the College, located just inside the west entrance to the south wing of the College on the Provo Campus. The classes will meet daily 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. This will enable completion of classwork by December 16. The course is open to anyone not enrolled in high school. Tuition is $40 for the course, which utilizes the latest and most thorough techniques of driver training, including simulated driving in the electronic-mechanica- l "Drive-O-Trainers- " at the College. Notice of Public Hearing (City Council) The Pleasant Grove City CouncE will meet Tuesday, December 6, 1977 at 6:30 p.m. in the Pleasant Grove City Hall to review a proposed ordinance which will raise the salaries of the elected officals (Mayor and Councilman). The proposed ordinance would raise the Mayor's monthly salary to $200 from the present $100.00 per month and would increase the Councilmen's pay from $50.00 per month to $100.00 per month. The effec-tive date of this proposed ordinance would be Jan-uary 1,1978. A provision is also made in the amended ordinance to delete the setting of the salaries of the Treasurer and Recorder by ordinance but in-stead provide for these salaries to be set at the time the city budget is set each year, as is done with all other positions in the city except elected offices. All interested citizen's are invited to attend this meeting and express their opinions. Mark Johnson, City Recorder Published in Pleasant Grove Review Nov. 25,Dec. 1, 1977. Letter to Editor Asks Parents To Get Involved in the PTA How long are we going to keep our heads stuck in the sand? I have been involved in PTA for six years and have seen many outstanding meetings planned to inform the public about problems in Pleasant Grove. Things that concern our schools and community and what we would do to help solve them. But this year takes the cake! Our high school PTA plan-ned an exceptional panel to answer questions concerning our educational and com-munity problems. Ap- - proximately five parents cared enough to be there. Grovecrest had a presentation on Child Abuse that 10 to 15 parents attended. Don't you feel we have this problem in our little happy valley? The Utah County Division of Family Services has 50 to 60 referrals a month. Is it that you don't care about what's going on around you, or is it that if you don't know about it, that it is not your responsibility to do something about it. The PTA is trying to fight vandalism, child abuse, television violence, sex and bad language, lack of im-munizations, tobacco, alcohol, it's trying to help parents become better parents, teach manners, more awareness for the cultural arts, emergency preparedness, community in-volvement, to help children read, fight pornography, sup-port for release time in our schools so our children can take seminary classes. I could go on and on. Doesn't at least one of these fall into an area of concern for you? The people in our PTA's are working for all of these. They are concerned about what ef-fects their children and yours. But there is only so much we can do. It's time to take the bull by the horns and put the responsibility there it belongs and that is with YOU. . .

Here are some of the prices l J for shoplifting: L 1. When the shoplifter is caught (and most are), he faces the possibility of criminal L prosecution, just like any other common 71 criminal. L 2. A new Utah law says that shoplifters can be sued by merchants for the retail value of 'the stolen merchandise, plus court costs, attorney's fees, and more. L 3. Even after he has paid for his act, the J shoplifter can get a police record that follows him wherever he goes, barring the way to better jobs, higher education, even loans. For shoplifters, getting "something for fj nothing" isn't worth the price. L 71 FPGR 7&. H k J7 Get Your ...
