some time in her life and more than 42 JXX) will die from it in 1990 These frightening statistics are causing women to become more aware of what causes breast cancer who is susceptible to it and how it can be detected and treated Risk factors increase for women who have a personal or fanviy history of breast cancer who have never had children or have their first child after the age of 30 Breast cancer is most common in women over the age of 50 but has also been detected in younger women through mammograms or physical examination Warning signs include persistent changes in the breast such as a lump swelling dimpling skin thickening irritation distortion retraction or scaliness of the nipple nipple discharge pain or tenderness Breast cancer occurs most often as a painless lump or thickening frequently in the upper outer portion of the breast although it can occur anywhere in the breast It can also spread to the armpit neck chest and other parts of the body through the blood stream However 80 percent of the lumps detected are benign or non cancerous Breast cancer is thought to develop in stages with a stage one lump being about the size of a pea and enlarging to the size of a golf ball by later stages Cancers detected in the earliest stage can be treated allowing a 93 percent survival rate If the cancer is not detected early the survival figure drops to 13 percent to 64 percent A woman’s best defense against breast cancer is monthly breast self examination along w ith regular physical examinations by a health care professional and mammograms for women age 35 and older The state of Utah cancer screening program is scheduled in Millard County during the month of October which teaches self examination and an examination by state Health personnel Mammography can

indications in a survey now being conducted throughout Utah are that the Mormon cricket infestation is subsiding “We’re on the downhill side" Utah State University entomologist Jay said As many as 30 to 40 heavy cricket concentrations have been recorded in past years he said but there were only four such areas this summer Infestations occurred in Millard County most particularly at Oak City and Kanosh Others were in the Dinosaur National Monument area near Vernal the Goshute Indian Reservation border and in Box at the Elder and Cache counties mostly in the Clarkston area Weather plays an important role in regulating cricket populations Karren said Cold weather will kill cricket eggs but a mild winter like the last one in Utah will allow more to hatch the fol- J lowing spring Karren said it would be a waste of time and money to use insecticides to try to control crickets this fall He said the time to put out insecticide laced bait is the spring after eggs have hatched Areas to watch for eggs hatching are vacant lots pastures and other grounds Eggs also hatch on Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land If cricketa are spotted Karren laid you should contact your

place is just the beginning Arranging financing for such homes used to be a draining proposition both mentally and fiscally First you needed a loan for the property in its dilapidated condition Then another for the necessary repairs Both loans usually had to be complete with high interest rates Then while the repairs were being completed you had to cover not only two loans for your new place but also your rent or mortgage on your current abode Visions of financial ruin were common would like to thank the citizens of KUlard County who voted for me the Pnmary Election and a spe- cated during the time (up to six months) it takes to complete the repairs During that period money from the loan can also be used to make the monthly payment on your new loan until you can move in No double payments The home must need at least $5000 of work to qualify for 203(k) Improvements can run the gamut from structural alterations to modernization from reconditioning from a new roof to to replacement new carpets and lots in between The only even major landscaping not covered are improvements luxury items such as hot tubs pools tennis courts and such with one low monthly loan and one payment See the HUD ad in Friday's daily newspapers or your weekly local or call paper for 203(k) properties any of these five lending institutions for more information on HUD's FHA203(k) program: —
