The Farm Bureau Safety Program is funded, in part, by a grant from the Utah Industrial Commission's Occupational Safety and Health Division. While other funding will be provided by Farm Bureau, the program will be available to all farmers regardless of farm organization membership. "I am pleased to make this an-nouncement because it is a good example of a joint working relationship between state gover-nment and the private sector. It shows how public funds can be multiplied through private efforts," Governor Bangerter said. UFB President Kenneth R. Ashby, Delta, said there have been five farm fatalities reported so far this year, and that the number of accidental injuries appears to be increasing, as well. "It's apparent that we must do something to reduce this tragic . loss to the families of the victims and to our agricultural industry," he said. Ashby said Jerry Ferguson has r x.-Iv-v--w- "'Vr:7 ; , - r "Fire Chief for a Day" ceremonies were held at McDonald's in American Fork on Saturday for Sabrina Austin, second from left. Joining with her are, L-- Dave Vickers, Gloria Swenson, Joan Flygare and Linda Hales. Lindon girl named as 'Fire Chief for a Day' Sabrina Austin, a fifth grader from Lindon, was selected to be Pleasant Grove's Fire Chief for a Day in a contest sponsored by McDonalds of American Fork and the Pleasant Grove Fire Auxiliary. The Fire Chief for a Day program was started by McDonalds. The local fire auxiliary offered assistance with the contest. Entry forms were distributed to elementary school children when the auxiliary visited each school to give presentations on fire safety. Ap-proximately 3,600 entries were given to the students in Pleasant Grove and Lindon. The children were asked to fill out the entry forms and drop them off at McDonalds in American Fork. Gloria Swenson, vice president of the fire auxiliary, who was in charge of the fire safety program, said that the entry box was packed full of entries but she did not count them to see how many there were. Sabrina's name was drawn out and Gloria said she was glad it was a student as she would be old enough to understand the meaning of the Fire Chief for a Day program. On Saturday, Sabrina was honored with a party at McDonalds for herself and 10 other people. She was presented with a certificate and given a ride on a Pleasant Grove Fire Engine along with a delicious lunch. Joan Flygare of McDonalds presented the award to Sabrina. Sabrina is the daughter of Vaughn and Cheryl Austin of Lindon. She received a fire hat donated by the Pleasant Grove Fire Dept., and a plaque. In addition her name will be the first one on a plaque to be displayed in the Pleasant Grove Fire Station which will list each year's winner in this contest, beginning with this year. Sabrina was also told she would spend a day as Fire Chief and get to do some of the things firemen have to do. College entrance tests slated The 1987 PSAT-NMSQ- T tests will be administered for area secondary school students on Tuesday, Oct. 20. The fee is $5.25 for each student tested.

It provides current scientific in-formation and good teaching outlines. These may be obtained by writing or visiting the headquarters of the American Lung Association of Utah, 1930 S. 1100 East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84106. Office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Or further information can be obtained by calling 484-445- the 11th grade, 38.7 percent of students have used marijuana and 4.5 percent use it on a regular basis. The survey suggests over 40,000 Utah public school students have used marijuana and 5,120 use it regularly (21 or more times per month). It is estimated that 80,000 Utahns under age 25 use grass or pot, as marijuana is called. The American Lung Association says that smoking marijuana is a major threat to American lung health, particularly in the developing lungs of young people. The Christmas Seal people say, "Don't let your lungs go to pot." "If lung damage isn't convincing venough," marijuana is well known for its effect on the mind, producing even permanent changes," says Mr. Steenblik. Altered perceptions of time and space is the cause of automobile accidents. The American Lung Association of Utah has a three-par- t, state-wid- e program called Marijuana: A Second Look. 1. Community awareness education to destroy the marijuana myth. 2. Information especially designed for parents, youth leaders and teachers. 3. Classroom education for pre-teen- s, emphasizing correct information and making the commitment to say no to future invitations to use marijuana. Parents and other adults who want to learn more about how to deal with marijuana are invited to request free educational materials. They describe the marijuana problem and how families cope with it. R. James Steenblik, president of the American Lung Association of Utah, says young people who believe a little marijuana won't hurt, them, put their confidence in a myth. The association is locked into a continuing effort to destroy the myth that marijuana is a mild, harmless substance that produces pleasure without the consequences of smoking tobacco. "The truth is," says Mr. Steen-blik, "marijuana will produce more lung disease in less time and with less exposure than does regular cigarettes." Marijuana is so readily available in schools that nearly every young - person will be faced with the inevitable decision about using marijuana. "We feel the urgency of our effort to help preteens have truth and not a myth as the basis for their decision-making,- " says Mr. Steenblik. It's hard to change the myth because it has been cir-culating for so many years-- . Marijuana has many more cancer-causin- g chemicals than does regular tobacco. According to Mr. Steenblik, physicians have observed marijuana smokers with precancerous tissue changes in the airways that are equivalent to those seen in 10 and 20 year tobacco smokers. Further, marijuana is smoked in such a manner as to increase the exposure of the smoke in the air-ways. "And since marijuana toxins remain in the body for as long as a month, there is an accumulative effect among those who smoke even small amounts of marijuana on a regular basis," Mr. Steenblik ex-plains.
