Basketball, Hockey Stars Take Chairmanship of Seal Sales Jeff Congdon, star of the Utah Stars Basketball team and Bob Ellett, captain of the Salt Lake Golden Eagles hockey team, this week were named Christmas Seal Sports Ambassadors by Lyman Smart, Bountiful, president of the Utah Tuberculosis and Health Association. As sports ambassadors for the 1970 Christmas Seal Campaign they will help carry the important message of the Christmas Seal fight against tuberculosis, emphysema, air pollution, and cigarette smoking to the citizens of Utah. They join with Rico Carty, the national Christmas Seal Sports Ambassador. Carty is the Atlanta Braves outfielder who personally conquered his fight against Computer Creates Star Studded Film Three scientists have produced a movie wtih more stars than Hollywood ever imagined. About 100.000 of them. All created by computer. The producers are astronomers from Columbia University and the University of Chicago. Their dramatic film is the first computer motion picture showing the birth of a galaxy and its early evolution. Covering 2 billion years in 10 minutes, the movie begins with the first turbulent moments of a galaxys life. A vast cloud of gas 100.000 ligh tyears wide begins to swirl. Spiral arms eremgc and spin and stars are formed. Two important contributions to galactic theory have resulted from the film. It confirms the idea that spiral arms evident in a galaxy can be density waves, and it demonstrates that the rate at which stars form determines the way a galaxy evolves. HEALTH AND SCIENCE SHORTS A Denver, Colorado, gynecologist has Urged that feminine hygiene be taught in schools. Unfortunately, he explains, mothers are often unable to discuss this subject with their daughters, or do not have sufficient knowledge of it themselves. Proper Cleanliness not only helps to prevent vaginitis, he said, but also Helps to avoid reinfection once it has cleared up. A number of gynecologists reporting on effective treatment for vaginitis have found that douching with an alkaline cleanser, Trichotine, promptly relieves the symp-,toof itching and irritation of the infection, while more specific medication goes to fwwork to eradicate the cause. ms ' v. According to a UJS. Public Health Service pamphlet, one of the safest and most satisfactory remedies for a common skin condition, psoriasis, includes a combination of coal tar ointments. Newly developed, refined formulations are quite pleasant to use. One of these is available in a cosmetic cream form and spreads from a tube, leaving a lubricating film on the skin. The product, Alphosyl Cream, is reported to soften skin, and to speedhealing. i e,i Gastrointestinal gas is a frequent sourcepfhuman . die. tress.
