"This type of thing gives kids a good basis for positive peer pressure to know they can have fun without drinking or taking drugs." In keeping with MADD's youthful focus, Alad¬din's Castle arcades in Ogden and Layton will kick off Project Red Ribbon by sponsoring the "Red Ribbon Rally" promotion this week. Sieverts said the arcades will donate half the proceeds from their Pole Position II video games during those days.

Red Cross urges teenagers to ‘say no to sex’ By CHERYL ARCHIBALD Standard-Examiner staff Local school officials are cautiously optimistic about a new Red Cross film on AIDS that teaches teenagers to “say no to sex” or else use condoms for protection. The American Red Cross film, “A Letter From Brian,” shows a teenage couple who decide to wait to have sex after learning the girl’s former boyfriend has AIDS. A workbook with questions and answers on the causes and prevention of AIDS accompanies the film. Both were released by the national organization about three months ago, said Jane Erickson, health services coordinator for Red Cross Bonneville chapter in Ogden.
