'Ideas for Better Living Compliments Help Us to Feel Better All of us have had the gratifying experience of being sincerely com-plimented by a friend or family mem-ber. If you're like I am, it makes your whole day. Verbal praise from others exer-ts a power- - f ful influence in determining how we feel about ourselves. I like to think of praise as the fuel that keeps the fire of en-thusiasm burning. We rely heavily on praise from others, but how often do we praise ourselves? Praising ourselves may sound like a strange notion, but I believe to improve how we feel about ourselves we must develop the habit of complimenting ourselves when we feel we've done a good job. Self praise is a way of acknowledging Learning to give ourselves honest verbal reinforcement enhances our self-estee- Phychologist Donald Felker points out in his book Building Positive that part of the we have of our-selves is the meaning we at-tach to self word like I and me. Dr. Felker also suggests that learning self praise is not only teaching ourselves to reinforce our behavior, but we begin to associate the phrase "well doer" with the self word "I". This is important in strengthening our t. People maintain their ideas, including ideas which they have about themselves with a system of words. A set of positive words and phrases which the adult learns to ap-ply to himself is a powerful mechanism for maintaining a positive self concept. An idea for developing the habit of giving ourselves ver-bal pats on the back is to openly tell someone when we think we have done somthing worthwhile. It isn't necessary to be obnoxious or over-bearing, but simply say something like, "I feel I did a good job." Another idea is to tell yourself out loud when you have done somthing worth-while. Instead of just thinking you've done well, listen to yourself say it. If we learn to improve our self-conce- through self praise it will make it easier for others to feel the same way toward us.

Control Members of Utah's local boards of education were urged Thursday to take steps to preserve local control of public education. "Don't let local control of education slip from the people who own the schools", Dr. Dan W. Peterson, veteran Alpine School District superintendent, said at the first general session of the Utah School Boards Association convention at the Salt Lake Hilton. Dr. Peterson a school ad-ministrator for the past 25 years, 19 of them as Alpine's superintendent, said a variety of federal agencies, the state legislature and the state board of education have all made deep inroads on local control of education. He noted that 50 years ago 75 percent of the nations tax dollars were collected locally while now 15 to 25 percent of the taxes are collected locally and the balance is collected by state and federal governments. "The federal and state governments control almost all the education money, but local boards are expected to bargain with employee groups when they only have a few dollars over which they have any say," Dr. Peterson said. In remarks. ... in .which he called the state legislature the "super board of education," Dr. Peterson said local school district raise vir-tually all the money for school buildings, but they must gain approval from at least four state and federal agencies before construction can start. He told the USBA mem-bers that when he first became a superintendent he could get new school building plans approved in the state school office in a day's time. Now, he said the plans are tied up in the state school of-fice for six months before ap-proval is granted. ' Building plans must gain approval from the offices of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the state fire marshal and the State Building Board, all of whom call for changes and additions, he said. If the plan that comes back to the district has any resemblance to the original we are surprised," Dr. Peter-son said. Dr. Peterson said that during his tenure the state school office staff has grown from a couple of dozen people to a staff of 650 to 700. "As the state office's sphere of influence . has grown, the State Board of Education has become in-creasingly involved in the governance of education, in-cluding governance of education at the local level," Dr. Peterson said. He also pointed out that federal guidelines and regulation now apply to vir-tually every program in a school district whether the program receives federal financing or not. "While local districts receive a few more dollars from the legislature and federal government than they had in the past, they are losing out to the legislature, the state board and the federal agencies," Dr. Peter-son said calling on USBA members to resist any movement that would result in the loss of local board power and authority. "The responsibility for operating the school system is found at the local level;" he said. Thursday night the USBA honored Dr. Peterson for his writing of the "ABCs of Boardmanship", a guide book for school board members outling many aspects of the Utah school system. The book was distributed to convention participants earlier in the day. The book is the second edition of the boardmembers' guide written about 10 years ago, won national acclaim. Utah Teenagers Have Drug Contacts The 50 page booklet prepared by the federal government includes infor-mation on sedatives, stimulants, hallucinogens, narcotics, alcohol and tobac-co. It also includes general in-formation on all drugs and on such topics as treatment available for abusers and prevention of drug abuse.

School ( and Vi Home fe 1 by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty j Executive Secretary Utah Education Association --J Your son and his buddies are bored one night, so they get into the school through a window, rummage through a few teachers' desks and then start bashing windows and water fountains. They get caught. When the officer brings your son home with the news, you are , shocked silly. '' " But the real shocker comes when you take Junior to juvenile court for his hearing. The judge turns to you, ex-plains that there's a new Utah law in effect, and it provides that His Honor can order Mom and Dad to pay up to $1,000 in damages. Since it's a new law, and we haven't yet seen how sternly our judges will use it, we don't yet know how effec-tive it will be in steming the tide of vandalism. And a tide it is. One large Utah school district reported that willful destruction of property amounted , to more than $200,000 last year alone. Last year, it is estimated that students across the nation caused $600 million dollars worth of window shat-tering, carpet-ripping- , fire setting and other vandalism in public schools. Six hundred million dollars! That's enough cash to buy 48,426,150 turkeys for hungry families. It's enough to pay the tab for 154,241,645 bottles of insulin for victims of diabetes. And it would put shoes on the feet of 33,333,333 school children. This is a problem that has "challenged the minds of America's brightest judges, school administrators and law enforcement officers. Still, the tinkle of shattering glass is heard in schools throughout the nation night after night. With all the thinking, in-novating, policing, pleading, reasoning,, punishing and warning, we still haven't come close to whipping the problem. So what about your thinking, parents? Do we need to show our kids results of these late-nig- missions of destruction to demonstrate how senseless they are? If you have any ideas, I can tell you some people who should be eager to hear them. These people are the 40 superintendents of Utah's school districts the people who have to find ways to pay the bills for all this destruc-tion. r" . j """"""'I : or v ( , . - . u' -- i-, .v ( f ! 1 --V .

Follow Simple Safety Rules In Winter The Christmas season could be hazardous if a few simple safety rules are not followed, warn the Utah State Fire Marshal and the Independent Insurance Agents of Utah president, Dale Josephson. During the 1976 holiday season, 2200 injuries caused by accidents with trees, lights, and ornaments were treated in hospital emergency rooms across the nation, ac-cording to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Utah State Fire Marshal Grant Walker recommends that only the freshest of natural Christmas trees be chosen, these trees should always be placed in water or wet sand, and be removed from the house soon after Christmas. The larger the tree, the bigger the hazard. Candles and natural trees are definitely not compatible. Dangerous fire traps may be created by using discarded Christmas trees for decorating New Year's Eve parties. Lights should never be placed on a metal tree. The tree could become charged and dangerous. Look for the Underwriters' Laboratories label on all lights. Always check for frayed wiring. A hazardous "bonfire" may be created by burning Christmas wrapping in the fireplace, emphasize the Utah State Fire Marshall and the Independent Insurance Agents of Utah. .
