Remember pets In this season of loving, giving, and good will, the Humane Society of Utah is lipping that the hundreds of homeless animals at the shelter will not be forgotten for the holidays. The annual "Christmas for the Animals" event will be held Saturday, December 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the society's parking lot at 4613 South 4000 West, and the public is invited in-vited to come with a gift to put under the animals' tree. "We especially need cat litter," said Community Affairs Coordinator Pauline Edwards. "Puppy and kitten kit-ten chow are also on our want list, as are towels, blankets and cleaning materials. And we always deeply appreciate ap-preciate cash donations, with which we can purchase badly needed medical supplies and equipment. Ms. Edwards emphasized that the Humane Society is a private organization which is not supported by taxes or other public monies.' "Whatever generosity the community communi-ty can show us at this time will be tremendously helpful to our animals," she said. , Refreshments will be served and Santa Claus himself will be on hand to help make the' holidays a little brighter for the animals.

The excellent ex-cellent condition of our historic district is a testimony to the efforts of our citizens and city officials alike. Projects Pro-jects like the Miner's Hospital and programs such as the historic grants are evidence of this community's commitment com-mitment to our mining town heritage. That's why its been so disconcerting to watch several old houses be demolished recently. Now that Park City is "hot", some of that preservation mindedness has gone by the wayside. It is a curious irony that so many old structures are still being lost in the face of such tremendous preservation preser-vation efforts. ' The Historic District Commission (HDC) is aware of this irony and seems committed to take action to remedy the irretrievable losses of historic buildings. They have a stated goal of improving tfte demolition permit process to insure more preservation. Currently, if you wish to tear down your old house, the following occurs: If your house is historically significant, and a building inspection inspec-tion shows renovation is feasible, then your application 'will be denied. 90 days from denial you are then allowed tq demolish the house. At this point the process is merely a mechanism to slow you down and try to get applicants, thinking of alternatives. While I realize that telling an individual in-dividual what heshe may or may not do with hisher t property is a touchy subject, I would also allow that .the ' unique character of these structures adds to the overall community as whole. It is for that reason that demolition permits should be scrutinized more thoroughly and the big picture must be taken into account. .... ' As I see it, some additional requirements might help us save more structures. Houses to be demolished could be publically noticed so that the public and the neighbors could ponder the impact of removing such buildings. Also it should be required that plans for rebuilding be made available at the time of demolition permit application, applica-tion, with favor being given to replicas or compatible structures. Maybe buyers could be located who are more willing to renovate than current owners who may only be seeking a building site. (Perhaps a preservation-minded realtor could waive part or all of hisher commission to help facilitate that.) . Obviously, it is our historic district which sets us apart from other ski towns and attracts visitors with its appeal. ap-peal. It is, in fact, a resource to be cherished. Areas like Prospector Square and plans like the Depot Town Lift prove that we can build "pre-fab" resorts just like Vail or .Whistler: Now let's show the world we -can set ourselves apart by truly preserving our historic district. I urge everyone to support our Historic District Commission Commis-sion in .their efforts. Let those commissioners or your City Ci-ty Council Person know of your support. New hormonal treatment tested ' Post-menopausal women who are interested in participating in clinical trials of , hormonal replacement therapy are being sought by in? vestigators in the Division ' of Reproductive Endocrinology, Infertility Infer-tility and Tubal Surgery in 'the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Utah School of Medicine. The drug therapy, part of a $50 million multi-center clinical trial sponsored by Ayerst Laboratories, is designed to determine what combinations com-binations and doses of estrogen and ' progesterone are the most effective for post-menopausal women. , "Not all women - will choose estrogen replacement therapy after menopause," says: project director Kirtly Parker? Jones, M.D. "However,' withawome living longer, current .thinking 'among most gynecologists is that hormonal replacement will keep bones stronger and lessen the risk or coronary cor-onary artery disease in older1 women." .

Women Who ace still ovulating naturally . produce progesterone, which causes the lining to be shed. In post-menopausal women, however, progesterone must be taken in the form of an oral medication. Current drug therapy includes a 25 to 30 day course of estrogen and 10 or 12 days of progesterone- a combination com-bination that causes some 70 percent of women to menstruate for many years after menopause. "Our study , is an attempt to discover the best combination of estrogen and progesterone that protects pro-tects the heart, bone and uterine lining lin-ing of women,' says Dr. Jones. "Preliminary studies by Ayerst indicate in-dicate that if women take a small dose of both hormones daily, they won't menstruate. Although the clinical trials are just beginning at centers across the country and consumer con-sumer application is years away, the ultimate goal is to combine estrogen and progesterone into one easy-to-take pill that women can take daily, avoiding the complicated hormonal replacement regimen that is at present pre-sent a woman's only choice. "Participants will be placed on one of four different drug regimens different combinations and dosages of estrogen and progesterone pro-gesterone all of which will be advantageous ad-vantageous to them," explains Dr. Jones. To be eligible for the study, women must be 45-65 years old, not have had a hysterectomy and not have menstruated for at least 12 months. They must make a one-year commitment to the study, during which time they will make approx-imately approx-imately seven visits to University Hospital. At the conclusion of the drug trial, the women will receive $300 for their participation. All medical care relating to the study mammograms, mam-mograms, Pap smears, blood testing, cholesterol screening, glucose tolerance tests, etc. will be provided free of charge.

Protect homes from holiday fi res The holiday season is a 'joyous time of year, but it can also be dangerous if you don't take precautions precau-tions to protect your home and family. fami-ly. Careless use of holiday decorations decora-tions causes many fires each year. You can assure your holidays will be safe as well as merry by following these tips. ' 'When selecting a Christmas tree make sure , it's fresh by shaking it lightly. If more than a few needles fall off, choose another , tree. Ask the seller where his or her trees were grown. Trees trucked over long distances are probably not as fresh as those cut nearby. Store your tree outside until you are ready to use it. Keep the cut end in water and shelter the tree from wind so it won't dry out too quickly. When you're ready to put the tree in a stand, cut about an inch off the trunk. This fresh cut will help the tree absorb water and stay fresher longer. .- -' . ' ,., Place your tree away from the fireplace, radiators and other heat sources and water it daily. Use only tree lighting sets which have a testing laboratory label. Replace any set that's worn. Bare wires or a bad connection can easily start a fire. Don't overload extension cords or run them under rugs. Check tree lights every day. If lights have caused needles to turn brown, shift position of the lights and keep then on only for half-hour " periods. - Never use indoor lights outside or vice versa. Unplug all lights before going to bed or leaving the house. , If you use candles to decorate 'your home, keep them well away from flammable decorations, drapes and doorways. Never use real candles in windows or on trees. Make sure all candles are extinguished ex-tinguished before leaving the house or going to bed.
