Do Something About Bad Habits by Dr. M. Ford McBride All of us have bad habits and there is something we can do about them! Psychologist, Dennis Coon talks about four key steps in breaking bad habits. You might want to write them down. One, find out what is rein forcing the bad habit and remove or avoid the reinfor-cement. If you can't control eating between meals, stay out of the kitchen or away from food except during regular meals. To avoid buying food from vending machines don't carry loose change with you. Two. Try to get the same reinforcement with new habits. For example, a young mother realized she was yelling at her children more often than she would like. This habit seemed to be rein-forced by periods of relative quiet that followed when she raised her voice. To avoid this habit she should ignore her children when they are noisy and make a special effort to praise them, show approval and pay attention to them when they are playing quietly and constructively. Three, do something dif-ferent in the presence of stimuli that usually precedes the bad habit. A child has developed the habit oi throwing her coat on the floor after coming in the front door. After being scholded she would hang it up. The mother should recognize that scolding has become the cue for hanging the coat up. The girl should not just be scolded but should put her coat on again, go outside, come in the door, and hang her coat up. Soon, coming in the door will become the cue for hanging the coat up. Four Avoid cues that elicit the bad habit. A housewife has begun to notice how much impulse buying she does at the grocery store. As a first step in avoiding this habit she has begun to shop after she has eaten because she has obser-ved that hunger is a cause for impulse buying. She should also make a shopping list and stick to it so that she only looks at items she intends to buy. If you have really troublesome habits like ex-cessive use of alcohol or smoking you may find it more helpful to consult a professional counselor. Dr. McBride can be seen every Wednesday on Chan-nel 11 "Newsroom" at 6:00 p.m. If you have a question or ' topic you would like Dr. Mc- Bride to discuss in his column, write: Dr. M.

LDS Church Historian Refutes Paper Article "All of the original draft of the Book of Mormon was taken down from the lips of Joseph Smith by a series of scribes, and there is ab-solutely nothing to the idea that Solomon Spaulding wrote any part of the manuscript," Dr. Leonard J. Arrington, Church Historian of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints (the Mormons), said today. Dr. Arrington, former president of the Western History Association, and also Lemuel Hardison Redd Professor of History and director of the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University, made his comment in respon-se to an article appearing in the July 8 issue of "Christianity Today," and a story based on that article distributed by the Los Angeles Times. In his statement, Dr. Arrington said: "There is absolutely nothing to this idea. All of the origial draft of the Book of Mormon was taken down from the lips of Joseph Smith by a series of scribes. "We have more than 100 pages of this material in the Church Archives and the writing of all but one of the scribes has been clearly iden-tified. The one scribe who remains unidentified follows on the same page and precedes on another page material written by scribes who can be identified, and all of these pages are clearly torn from a scribe's book. "We think the unidentified scribe was the brother of Emma Smith, the wife of Joseph Smith, but we have no sample of his writing to compare it with. "The 'Spaulding' theory is preposterous and cannot be possible because of the man-ner in which the material was taken down. "We have compared this writing in the Book of Mor-mon manuscript with the handwriting of Spaulding which was made more than 20 years earlier and there is absolutely no resemblance." Solomon Spaulding died in 1816, never having known Joseph Smith, first prophet-preside-of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, who was born on December 23, 1805. The Book of Mormon was first published early in 1830. The Book of Mormon, tran-slated from ancient records by Joseph Smith, is an abridged history of people who came to the Americas from the Middle East at three different times centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ. It recounts also the ministry of Jesus Christ in the Americas following his resurrection, and is a witness with the Holy Bible that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and Redeemer of all mankind. "Christianity Today" said three handwriting analysts had compared photocopies of several original manuscript pages of the Book of Mormon with some of Spaulding's handwriting and concluded that Spaulding had written the material they examined. T 1 Your Man ; In Washington I By U.S. Senator Orrin G. Hatch Time For Food Sta mp Reform On April 14th Presi-dent Jimmy Carter said, " will resist to the utmost of my ability excessive spending by the Congress in fiscal year 1978, and I am going to oppose strong-ly any spending substitu- - tion for projects that might be non-vit- al and which might initiate permanent programs or expenditures that can't be controlled in the future. " Can a President of less than six months stand-u- p to Congress? Congress is apparently determined to find out with the recently passed Farm Bill. As it now stands the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 contains price supports for wheat and other food grains which far exceed what the President has said he will accept; but this is only part of his dilemma. The most expen-sive portion of the bill is the Food Stamp program. As authorized in the Senate's Farm Bill, delivery of food stamps has been liberalized at a time when public opinion polls call for reform. Under the bill's provisions permitting a family of four with an annual income of up to $10,610 to receive food stamps, half the population of the state of Utah would be eligible. The lawmakers went one step further by eliminating the purchase requirement for the stamps. Previously a family has been required to spend 20 of its income to purchase food stamps, unless the family was at the bottom of the poverty scale. Now, however, :' e freely given i. ie who can qualify, a. as. increased cost to the American taxpayers of some $2 billion. Aside from being totally contrary to the President's request of April 14th, the action appears to completely eliminate the incentive for many families to become productive. During debate on the Farm Bill several Senators made an attempt to limit widespread fraud in the Food Stamp program. Senator Carl Curtis asked for of food stamp recipients, cross-checking for duplicate ap-plications, and income survey. These are steps re-quired of most citizens to cash a personal cjieck. A similar program Cut the caseload in one Eastern state by 11 and saved the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Despite projected nation-wide savings of approx-imately $90 million, the Curtis proposal was defeated. This Congress is obviously not interested in controlling food stamp fraud at the present time. A Utahn who watched the Senate debate on the Farm Bill was overheard to say later, "Every good idea and every program or proposed change that seemed to have merit was rejected. It looked to me like the spon-sors of this bill had only one thing in mind . . . make the Presi-dent back down." How will the President res-pond ? |
