Show OREM- GENEVA TOfflS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 . Travel by State Officials Studied By Foundation Travel by officials of the Utah State government cost approximately ap-proximately $800,000 during the 1948 fiscal year ended June 30, it was reported by Utah Foundation, Found-ation, the non-profit private research re-search agency, in the latest of its studies of Utah State government govern-ment made this week. This a. mount includes $667,142 charg ed to travel accounts in State reports plus an estimated $133,- 000 in travel costs for state. owned cars for which only part of the expense appears as trav el on state records. Travel costs have mounted substantially in recent years Finance Commission totals quoted quot-ed by the Foundation report show $378,557 for 1944. $412,-207 $412,-207 for 1946, and $667,142 for 1948, in addition to car operation operat-ion costs charged to accounts other than travel-Utah travel-Utah owned 54 passenger cars in 1942. The number increased in-creased to 82 in 1946, and to 146 in 1948. These figures do not include Highway Patrol cars. Since 1942, it is noted, there has been a marked trend toward to-ward furnishing state-owned cars for the individual use of most commissioners and department depart-ment heads. Regulations, records and reports pertaining to travel by state-owned cars are lax and incomplete, but are better for in-state travel by private car, according to the Utah Foundation Foundat-ion analysts. The Utah Board of Examiners which must approve all out-of-state travel, authorized 448 trips to 94 different cities In 35 states and Canada in the fiscal fis-cal year 1948. Most of the trips were to attend conventions, the number and variety of which have multiplied rapidly in re cent years. Legislative attempts to apply travel restrictions by limitations included in the Ap propriation Act were ruled invalid in-valid because of prior general General's opinion must be ex- statutes, which in the Attorney pressly repealed or modified if the change is to be effective. The Utah Foundation travel study suggests that the most effective ef-fective legislative device for limiting the amount of departmental depart-mental appropriations which can be used for this purpose-Present purpose-Present law permitting transfers trans-fers from other budget items removes re-moves effective legislative control. con-trol.

Harvey Cushing Department of Labor Cites Advantages of Older Workers WASHINGTON. A survey by the department of labor Indicates that men and women workers in the 45-or-older age group offer "distinct advantages" to employers over younger workers. The survey, made public by the department's bureau of labor statistics, sta-tistics, is a six month study of the work records of about 18,000 workers of all ages, including 1,300 women. The summary, according to the BLS, showed that: "Not only may the worker in the 45-and-over age group offer more highly developed skills, more mature ma-ture judgment and more settled work habits as against the stamina and agility of youth, but he is frequently fre-quently less likely to be absent and is less prone to injury than the younger worker." The survey showed that the younger worker has an advantage over the older one in this respect, however: Although the younger worker is injured more often, the older worker, when hurt, takes longer to recover. Workers not yet 20 had the highest high-est absentee rate an average S.8 days out of 100 work days. The absentee rate for the 45-year age group was 3.4 out of 100. Englishman Walks Across the River Thames in 17 Minutes LONDON. Joe Simms walked across the River Thames in the water. That is, he walked in the water, not on it Simms, a 51-year-old railway checker at Southampton docks, was demonstrating what he claims to be a new method of progressing through water developed after 18 years of research. Simms entered the river wearing wear-ing a pair of bathing trunks and an old tweed cap. With his arms folded and his hands on his shoulders shoul-ders he took 17 minutes to cross the river using "slow cycle action." Two or three times he waved to crowds on a bridge and once took off his cap. Newspapermen who followed him in a boat said he seemed to be erect the whole time. Arriving on the other side he said, "That is something the Yanks can't do." Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen- Hebrews 11:1 Orem Nurse Says Sixth-year Molar Is All-Important Good looks, good health and good speech priceless possessions possess-ions are dependent on well-formed well-formed jaws, Flo Beck, Orem public health nurse pointed out today. "Perfect jaws cannot be purchased pur-chased as needed," she said, "They can be developed only through proper care in childhood." child-hood." Miss Beck revealed that studies made by the division of dental health, Utah State Department De-partment of Health establish the fact that he key to normal jaw development lies largely in the first permanent molars, known as the sixth-year molars, because they first appear about the sixth year of life. If these teeth are lost, unpleasant facial contours, inadequate masticat ion and even speech defects can result. The sixth year molars, four in number, develop and erupt dir ectly behind the last baby teeth in the upper and lower jaws-They jaws-They are the most important teeth in the mouth, acting as guideposts for the permanent teeth which come in on each side of them. If the first permanent perma-nent molars grow out of line or are extracted, the remaining teeth are shifted out of position and the jaws may become de formed. Care is indeed necess ary, Miss Beck emphasized, long before the sixth year molars appear. They begin to calcify (harden) about .the time the child is born. Consequently, ev ery item of the child's diet and every factor in his health dur ing his first years of life have a direct bearing on the growth of these all-important teeth. During the nursing period, the mother's diet should include green, leafy vegetables, fruits, whole-grain bread, meat or fish. eggs, milk and other dairy products. pro-ducts. As the child grows older his diet should include these tooth-building foods and also cod liver oil, and he should receive re-ceive plenty of sunshine. The family physician should be frequently fre-quently consulted concerning the child's diet and acre. It is important that the child 1941 'NljCa vkXy ' 'KZ. Ss" r " "' . WHY XtS . GUEW Tuc n .

Don't feed your dog too much raw fish, says the fish and wildlife service. Cooked fish is okay. The same advice goes for your cat, your canary, even your pet fishes. It also might apply to the feeding of human beings wherever dried fish is consumed. Recent investigations have proved beyond doubt, the agency says, that several varieties of raw fish contain thiaminase, an enzyme which destroys de-stroys thiamin, otherwise known as vitamin B-l. A deficiency of B-l leads to nervous disorders and often to death. be taken to the dentist as soon as the sixth-year molars appear, to have the teeth examined. It may be that they are improperly improper-ly formed. If they are defective it is esential that the flaws be corrected and if necessary, substantial sub-stantial fillings be inserted. This will prevent serious decay, and indirectly, will help maintain the contour of the dental arches and thus aid in normal develop ment of the jaws.
