The Commission has also instructed the firm to consider all possible alternatives to the proposed alignment. There are several reasons the Road Commission felt it necessary to retain a consulting firm. Some members of the community are concerned the Highway Department cannot be completely objective in considering alternatives to the proposed alignment. An outside firm should be free from any bias.

The study will take about one year, then public hearings will be held and a Final Draft Environmental Impact statement prepared. Commission Chairman Clem Church said, Were not hiring the consultants to come back and tell us we were right. This is an outside effort to complete the Environmental Impact Statement, get complete public involvement, and help us arrive at a decision. If there have been mistakes made, this is a good chance to back off and change the planning for the area. 15, 15 Focus on Fun Lvnda Vaughn HER PICTURES POSE NO PROBLEM The comet was discovered by Czech astronomer Lubos Kohoutek at the Hamburg Observatory on March 7, 1973, while photographing asteroids. The comet was almost directly behind the sun until the end of September. Beginning early in October, Comet Kohoutek will be bright enough for viewing with small telescopes in the constellation Sextans in the morning sky. By November 15, the comet should be visible to the unaided eye, rising in the southeast about 2 hours before the sun in the con- stellation Corvus the Crow, about 15 to the west of the star Spica in Virgo. As the comet shifts gradually eastward, it will move into Virgo on November 23. to JanuFrom 1 comet too close will the be ary to the sun for easy observation, but its tail may preceed the rising sun above the eastern horizon late in December. mid-Decemb- er Comet Kohoutek will be closest to the sun (perihelion) on December 28 passing 12.8 million miles above the suns surface (13.2 million miles from its center.) Exactly how bright the comet will become is uncertain. It may be possible for the last few days of December to see the comet in daylight by screening the sun with an outstretched hand. After January 1, the comet will be clearly visible each evening in the western sky, setting with Venus shortly after the sun. It will be at its most spectacular during the first two weeks in January. On January 15, the comet will reach its closest point to Earth 75 million miles distant. Comet Kohoutek will gradually decrease in brightness night by night through January and February, fading from naked eye visibility after mid-Februar- y.

And by remembering just a few simple rules .of posing, you can picture your favorite subject in a flattering light. A camera has a most discerning eye. It often sees what you might miss. For instance, you can trim a figure with the proper pose. If your model is standing, suggest she turn her to the ride. This will capture her at her slender best. The pose will shape the leg and slim the hips and shoulders. To narrow her foot, have your model point one foot at about a angle to the camera. Look for the attractive curves . rather than straight lines. Hands should be drawn up slightly to the waist. The result will be a pleasing bend of the' elbow, a little break in the wrist. Positioning your camera .opposite the girls waist will emphasize thaL leggy look. Just before you snap the shutter, ask your model to smud on her toes, another f igure flattering trick. Composition is the key to fine results. Look for the o proper natural sitting you pose your model. body-slightl- 45-degr- ee be-ior- Above (top left), a girl stands at lakeside atop a rocky outcrop. The setting almost naturally places her in an attractive pose, one leg below the other, the back leg slightly curved, her face turned in gentle- profile, her front foot at an angle. For the amateur photographer, the simpler the camera, the more time to concentrate on composition. A camera any amateur can operate with ease is the Kodak pocket Instamatic 20 camera. No larger than the palm of your hand, the camera is easy to carry wherever your travels take you to catch those pictures you used to - miss. The two models pictured together are posed to take advantage of the setting. The girl sits, posed- - close to the boulders edge, her body naturally turned to the side. The man is standing naturally, leaning forward. And both are involved in action, gazing toward some distant object...another picture tip. Curves aside for a moment, before you take that picture, be sure your model is aware or her expression. Have her smile or look pensive or exuberant. Ask her how she wants to look. Then, take several pictures. The more pictures you tak the hotter your chance.' r. her on film ,t. : ho 1j. cap-Luri- ug ing (F.I.S.), the organization governing world ski racing. Mens slalom and giant slalom runs and Womens downhill, slalom and giant slalom runs received the prestigious o.k. from the F.I.S. Course Approval Committee at the groups October 5 meeting at Innsbruck, Austria. The approval means international ski races like the Challenge Cup can be held on the new runs. Four of the approved runs were constructed during the summer for use primarily as training runs for the United States Ski Team National Training Center located at Park City Resort. The training runs will be available to the public during periods announced in advance by the Center. The run approved for Womens downhill events is one of nine new tuns served by the Resorts new King Con triple chairlift and will be open to public skiing on all but race days. The five newly F.I.S. approved runs join the Resorts Silver Skis and Thaynes runs which received similar approval two years Cana-dian-Americ- an Page Five Ecology Aiding Psychologists in Home and Inhabitant Insight In contrast, Type B families Ecology is a science generally associated with the great out- whose environmental behaviors doors, but University of Utah were typified by closed bedroom psychologists are using it to gain doors, definite rules of room use, insights into the American home etc., displayed a lesser degree of and its inhabitants. Simply defined, ecology is the study of mans relationships to his environment, any environment and the U researchers have found that the way a family uses its home environment reflects its style of family life. For instance, families that leave bedroom doors open to allow ready access to all family members and display a less rigid approach in the way they use special room (den, sewing room, etc.), are more open and socially interactive than families with a more closed ecological lifestyle. Dr. Irwin Altman, chairman of the department of psychology, and graduate student Patricia Nelson say these findings arc based on a recent study of 147 U. S. Navy sailors at the Beth-esdMd., naval installations. Each sailor was asked to respond to a questionnaire containing 330 items about his home environment, ranging from the setting of the family home to typical behavior patterns. The data suggested two characteristic family styles of the home environments. One pattern Type A seemed to be characterized by informal, sharing and socially interactive behavior, the doctor said. These included all members of the family leaving their bedroom doors open; ready availability of special rooms to each other; use of the kitchen as opposed to the dining room for meals and entertaining guests; and multiple use of rooms for various activities as opposed to having rooms only for special functions. Correspondingly, Type A families were characterized by a high degree of joint social activities, sharing of job responsibilities around the house, ease of exchanging news in an informal way, and less formality of seating at mealtime. a, family interaction and role sharing. The study also revealed that in both groups, females were generally responsible for meal preparation, and most families had fixed seating arrangements at meal time. Knocking on doors before entering a family members room was prevalent in most homes, but the courtesy was extended primarily to parents and daughters. Dr. Altman says .the ecological approach to the study in interpersonal relationships is based on the concept that persons relate in many other ways not just verbally. Other types of communications include the use of the body, establishment of territories or areas of exclusive personal use, and use of privacy or boundary control mechanism such as doors and fences, said Dr. Altman. He notes that social psychologists have traditionally focused primarily upon the environment as a determinant in mans behavior. But our research demonstrates a two way relationship between man and his environment. It certainly does act upon him and man also uses it to manage his social relationships, he explains. a unique beauty cream . . . that changes those' dry & rough areas of dun into baby softness.
