Favors scrapping sex education WASHINGTON (AP) School sex education programs border on fraud and should be scrapped, according to Scott Thomson, executive director of National Association of Secondary School Principals. "I think educators should be candid and say we simply cannot shovel sand against the tide," Thomson said. "Schools cannot be as effective in sex education as parents would like us to be simply because all of the media and all of the films are pushing kids in the other direction." In an editorial in a newsletter sent to his group's 35,000 members, he said educators should "find sufficient courage to call a halt to the charade we have been playing with the public on this issue. "To accept new money for sex education programs under the prevailing situation borders on educational fraud," he wrote. Son of Spirit! My first counsel is this: Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart, that thine may be a sovereignty ancient, imperishable and everlasting.

Appeal shrouded in volcanic dust SAN FRANCISCO (AP) When congressmen were drafting the Speedy Trial Act, they made no provisions for legal delays caused by volcanic eruptions. That was the ruling Monday from the 9th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals, which decided the May 18 blast of Mount St. Helens did not violate Ross Furlow's constitutional rights. His claim, said the panel, was in fact "cast in a cloud of volcanic Furlow was convicted June 20 for fraudulently presenting a U.S. Treasury check at a Yakima, bank. He appealed, contending that the evidence against him was insufficient, that the lower court abused its discretion and that the eruption of the Washington volcano interrupted transportation and communication associated with the charges against him.

"A close reading of the Speedy Trial Act reveals no reference to the interruptions of nature," the justices said, adding: "This court is reminded that 'Laws cannot prevent accidents I nor can a law equally protect all against them'."

Richard B. Stroemple (May 5, 10) Director of City Planning As uncommon as they are, natural gas leaks have some common signs. Can you recognize them? Columbia Gas keeps close watch on its pipelines and facilities to assure safe operation. And, although leaks are uncommon, they sometimes do occur. We feel it's important that you know how to recognize a leak and what to do if you should spot one.

Common signs include a smell of gas, inside or outside; a hissing noise; blowing dirt; or bubbling water over a submerged pipe. In or around your home or building, if you smell gas, first check to see if a pilot light or burner may be out. If not, and you still sense a leak, call us. Be aware the source of a gas odor could be external- -gas from service lines or street mains that could migrate into your premises through walls or drain lines. If the odor is strong, open doors and windows.

Shut off gas appliance valves or meter valve. Don't use matches, electric switches or appliances. Leave the house and call your gas company from nearby and stay there until a representative arrives. If you are outside in an open area, eliminate, if possible, potential sources of ignition and leave the area. Call your gas company from another location.

We're proud that calls reporting leaks are few. But you should make them, even if you only suspect a leak. Columbia Gas is concerned about safety. And with your cooperation, we'll keep your natural gas service efficient and dependable. COLUMBIA GAS.
