t TEST RUN, Dujjway Proving Ground, Friday, January 28, 1966 Get 66 Regulations Keep Old License, President Johnson Urges Gifts to Health Agencies i' t i Johnson has urged Federal personnel to give generously to the National Health Agencies Campaign to pro- viile better health for all Americans. The campaign offers each contributor the option of allo- tting portions of his gift to health agencies of his choice. Federal department heads and military commanders have Joined the I 'resident in y authorizing the campaign. Here is part of the text of President Johnsons memoran-'-ito heads of executive departments and agencies: In the continuing effort to provide better health for all Imericans, the National Health Agencies are longtime leaders in the fight against wasteful disease and disability. . . The participation of Federal personnel is valuable support hr continuation of the voluntary programs of community services to patients, information and medical research by these agencies. . . Generosity is a proud tradition of the Federal service in support of such worthy works and I am confident that tradition will be proudly upheld in die campaign this year. The campaign is conducted at installations by project officers and keymen who distribute educational leaflets and coutri- -' tutor envelopes with designation hums to all personnel. If con-- ; riltutors do not use the hum, their gifts are allocated to die agencies in the same ratio as designated funds. Campaign officials say that principal objectives of the drive are to see that health guarding information reaches all personnel, to encourage larger individual contributions and to achieve 100 per cent giving. once-yearl- m Dollars and Sense The 20th century has witnessed steady declines in death rates for a number of diseases. Most dramatic, of course, was the almost complete victory over polio through immunizing vaccines. As a result of improved health standards, the life expectancy of Americans has advanced from 48 years in 1900 to more than 70 yean today. It can be demonstrated that this increase has been of material significance in our rising economic standards too. In 1944, fin' example, the U.S. gross national product was $211.4 billion, a sum which has been almost tripled as of today. The National Health Education Committee' says that major health advances in recent yean are due to the funds voted by Congress to the National Institutes of Health and the great effort of the voluntary health agencies and the pharmaceutical in'' dustry. Of course, there is much still to be done. The Public Health Service reports that 74,000,000 non hospitalized Americans suffer from a chronic ailment, and 19,000,000 are limited in their activities because ' of disease or impairment. In a recent year, 280,400,000 days were lost from work because of acute illness. Estimated private expenditures for health and medical services in that one year were $24.5 billion, while another $3.5 billion in wage loss resulted from the missed work days. Doesnt ' it make sense, then, to add your dollars to the fight for better health through the National Health Agencies Campaign? Through programs of research, community services and education, these voluntary agencies attack arthritis, muscular dystrophy, mental illness, retardation, cystic fibrosis, birth defects, multiple sclerosis, crippling, blindness, cerebral palsy, cancer and heart diseases. The campaign is authorized in the Federal establishment by the President, department heads and military commanders. A designation form permits each contributor to allocate portions of his gift to the agencies of his choice. This publication offers an unfailing prescription for better health: A Generous Gift from Everyone to the Campaign of the Voluntary National Health Agencies. , The new 1966 fishing regulations as approved by the Fish and Game Commission go into effect with the advent of die new year, Department of Fish and Came spokesmen Advised. "Dont throw that license away, though, it is valid through 15 April 1966. ANGLERS planning fishing trips should read and study the new regulations thoroughly before going afield. While limited changes have been made for the new years fishing season, all anglers should obtain a copy of the new proclamation to keep with them while afield. Proclamations are available from license agents, of Fish and Came offices in Salt Lake, Ogden and in the January- - February issue of Fish and Came Magazine. UTAHS Department of Fish and Game will receive a total of $493,510.15 for wildlife restoration during 1966, following final apportionment of these funds to the states by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The Department noted that $386,463.41 of this money is to be used for game restoration pro- jects; the balance of $107,046.74 is to be used in the fishery pro-- ' gram. The game monies come from an 11 Federal excise tax collected on sporting arms and am- -, munition at the manufacturing source.. Those for fishery projects come from 10 manufacturers excise tax on sports fishing equipment. FUNDS ARE allocated to the states by die U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for approved projects wherein the Department of Fish and Came spends die monies and is then reimbursed seventy-fiv- e cents on each dollar expended. Monies from this source annually form about 12 of the State Department of Fish and Game income. The major share of Department income or about 85 comes from the sale of fish and game licenses. No monies are received from the ' general fond of the State of Utah. The Federal monies have played an important role in die enhancement of Utahs fishing and hunting. Marsh building, range rehabilitation, creation of new fishing waters and chemical treatment of many waters to restore the fishing are but a few of the many projects Conducted over the years with these funds. mid-win-t- er Kditorial -- .

Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 Public Law 89117 approved 10 August 1965. - Section 108 of this Act contains a provision authorizing the Secretary of Defense to acquire family dwellings at or near a military base or installation which the Department of Defense, subsequent to 1 November 1964, ordered to be closed. To qualify for this, the owner of the house would have to establish that he has been employed or performing military duty at die base or installation, that the closing of the base or installation would result in the termination of his employment, and that die base closing has resulted in there being no present market for the sale of his house upon reasonable terms and conditions. However, no funds have been authorized in the MCA bill for FY 66 to carry out this authorization.
