Show 12 The Gunnison Valiev News W9dnesdav Sept. 2122Sa Wed..$ept. 21, 1988The Salina Sun Snowmobiles can be registered by mail Utahs snowmobile owners will be able to register their snowmobiles by mail this year, in much the same way they register their motor vehicles. The State Tax Commission will mail about 12,000 snowmobile registration cards during the last half of September. The mail in registration program is designed to save the snowmobile owner time and money, according to J. Wilson, director of Motor Vehicle Division. If all Utahns would use the mail in registration for their snowmobiles and their motor vehicles, we would see a substantial reduction in our operating costs. It is more expensive to deal with a person at a counter than it is to handle the registration through the mail. The snowmobile mail in registration will be a simple and cost effective way for people to register this year. Next spring the program will be expanded to bats and other recreational vehicles. Every Utah county, except Cache county, will be part of this mail in registration program. Cache county will enter the program next year. Bananas breathe.

Answer: The flu is a term that is often misused. It is sometimes used for upset stomach wi th diarrhea ("stomach flu) sometimes used for sore throat, fever and cough (the common cold), and sometimes used for just feeling sick. Technically, though, the flu (short for Influenza) is a specific viral disease that causes sore throat, body aches, fever and headache and weakness. It usually lasts about days (compared to the 4 days for the common cold) and is more severe than a cold, often with a hacking cough or headaches that can last for months after the acute stage. It usually strikes in the Fall and Winter months, and is more common among otherwise sick people and elderly adults. There is no cure for the flu in general. Years ago millions of people died from it in flu the (as epidemic of 1 91 8) but death from the flu is rare today, mostly because of better ways of controlling it's spread. There is a drug to treat one kind of flu (Influenza A) called Amantadine, but it must be used early on in the disease to be of any help. Unfortunately, it is of no use to treat the other kinds of flu, and often it is difficult or extremely expensive to determine exactly which type of flu a person has. The best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot, or an immunization against influenza. Unfortunately a flu shot provides protection against only two to three kinds of flu (there are hundreds of types) and lasts only one year. Therefore the United States Public Health Service every year publishes recommendations on what it considers to be the most likely strains of flu that year, or, the ones we ought to immunize against This year we (that is, the USPHS) are using a vaccine against two different subtypes of Influenza A, and one subtype of Influenza B. It is recommended (by the USPHS) that everyone age 65 and older be immunized every year. Others who should consider flare people with lung or heartdisease, especially if they have been in the hospital in the last year; residents of nursing homes; health care workers like doctors, nurses, and aides: teachers and policemen; anyone who wants to reduce his or her chance of acquiring influenza. Who should not get it? Those who are sick now; those who are allergic to eggs (the vaccine is made with eggs); and children under age of 13. The 1 988 recommended flu vaccine is available now at the Salina Medical Clinic. The Clinic is located at 310 West Main, and is open Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. An appointment is not necessary for the flu shot, but for more information, for appointments, or emergencies, call Health Trivia: What is the greatest hazard Americans face at work? The Department of Labor says that it is dogs, with 226,300 dog bites In 1987. Other hazards were chemicals, gas or dust, violence, other animal or Insect bites, and explosions. 14-2- 1 FREE TO THE PUBLIC Is sure blower doors are replaced properly.) 3.
