Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES Page Three FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1976 Most Breast Cancer Discovered By Women Themselves Dan Dailey to Star at Gaslight Should a woman have mammography? More and more women have been asking that question recently. The issue came to public attention after charges by some scientists that y examinations of the breast in asymtomatic women might actually cause breast cancer. Before answering the question, women should weigh the proven benefits of mammography against any possible risk, according to Dr. Gerald P. Stevenson, President of the Utah Division of the American Cancer Society. It should be emphasized that all the adverse publicity has arisen from inferred conclusions derived from a 10 to 15 year old study of patients with no a screening study. symptoms This should not be applied to women who are symtomatic or who are in a high risk category. Dr. Stevenson said the Cancer Society has formulated some guidelines to help: Breast cancer authorities feel a woman should have mammography if she is over 50. Annual screening examinations are advised because potential benefits far outweigh radiation risks in this age group. A woman should have if she is 35-5- 0 and has any of the following risk factors: A previous mastectomy Her mother or sister or both had premenopausal brest cancer Her mother had postmenopausal breast cancer She has not borne children or bore her first after age 30 She began menstruating at 11 or Vaud E. Massarsky, Executive Producer for the Gaslight Dinner Theatre, this week announced that the many talents of versatile star Dan Dailey will grace the stage of The Gaslight Dinner Theatre when the famed motion picture actor, dancer, and night club entertainer opens December 7th in Neil Simon's now classic comedy hit The Odd Couple." A special preview of The Odd Couple, at discount prices, will be performed on Monday, December 6th, at The Theatre. Dan Dailey has spent the greater of his life in show business, eginning in the days of minstrel shows and vaudeville. To establish himself, he spent the hard times of the 1930s depression working amateur nights, club dates, burlesque, and being a soda fountain attendant, dancing teacher, show salesman, and finally, a social director at a resort hotel. There Dan was called upon to be a writer, director, producer, and star of the weekly shows that took place in the hotel's casino. The recognition he received at the resort led him to a role in Babes in Arms on Broadway, and then to roles in the shows Stars in Your Eyes and !I Married an Angel. It was his performance in I Married an Angel which attracted the attention of M.G.M. talent scouts and resulted in his first movie contract. Expecting to continue doing musicals, Dan instead found himself cast as brutal Nazi storm trooper in Mortal Storm. It was to be the first of over twenty motion pictures he would do for the studio. After a stint in the Army, Dan returned to pictures when Darryl Zanuck telephoned him from Twento ask him to tieth Century-Fo- x in MothGrable with Betty appear er Wore Tights." With a new motion picture studio contract, Dan proceeded to star in another twenty films. Some of the most popular were Meet Me at the Fair," Its Always Fair Weather, and "Wings of Eagles. Recently, Dan has appeared in Las Vegas, Miami, and London with his own night club troup and throughout the country in Take Me Along," Anniversary Waltz, Guys and High Button Shoes, Plaza Suite, Dolls, and, of Odd The course, Couple, in which he appeared for two seasons with the National Company.

He usually makes sure a young, inexperienced boy services him. The man suddenly realizes he has left his wallet in a nearby motel. However, he says he will give the station attendant an expensive-lookin- g ring as collateral for payment. The man asks the boy to wear the ring and keep track of it, for it is worth several hundred dollars. A few minutes later, another man pulls into the gas station. He comments on the boy's ring, saying it is one of the nicest rings he has seen. The second man offers the boy $150 dollars for the ring. The boy explains that he will have to ask the real owner when he comes back. When the first swindler returns, he tells the station attendant he wouldn't want to sell the ring to just anyone. But, since he is a little low on money, he will let the boy have it for just $50. well-dresse- The service station attendant falls for his trap. In reality, he is left with a ring worth only a few dollars. Next, these same two swindlers may separately enter any type of retail store. Bunco artists usually do not stick to just one type of fraud. One of the men buys a small item, cashing a twenty dollar bill. A few minutes later, the second swindler buys an item for under a dollar and gives the cashier a one dollar bill. When she returns his change, the man insists he gave her a $20 bill. When the cashier resists, the man says he can prove it because his telephone number (or some distinguishing feature) is on that twenty dollar bill. Of course this turns out to be the case, and the two bunco artists have successfully completed another fraud. The Utah Bankers Association warns all citizens to be wary of deals which seem too good to be true. If you suspect fraud, contact your bank or local law authorities immediately. Mountain Fuel Cuts Rate Increase by 3 Million Mountain Fuel Supply Company said this week that what would have been a requested rate increase of $3.4 million has been reduced to a requested hike of only $466,756. The reduction results from the Federal Power Commission reconsidering and revising a July 27 order which drastically increased the price of natural gas throughout the nation. Mountain Fuel was the only investor-owne- d gas company in the United States to request a reconsideration of the July 27 order and the only one to send representatives to appear at the rehearing in Washington, D. C., to protest the higher prices. B. Z. Kastler, Mountain Fuel president, said the smaller rate increse now being sought would be approximately offset during the first year by additional credits, yet to be calculated, which will be applied to future gas bills. The FPC revised their decision and made the revision retroactive to July 27, Mr. Kastler said. It will be a complicated matter for us to recalculate the exact amount each customer will receive by way of credit on future bills. First we will have to determine how much of a refund we will receive from the producers to whom we paid the higher prices. Then we will have to calculate how much gas each customer used between September 1 when the new rates took effect, and December 4 when the revised rates take effect. When the credits are determined, permission will be sought from the Utah and Wyoming Public Service Commissions to aply them to future bills. If the Utah and Wyoming Commissions approve the December 4 increase, $408,821 will apply to Utah customers, the rest to Wyoming customers. The average Utah customer's bill would increase about five cents per month. Individual customers may be affected more or less than that, depending upon their specific usage. -- mv TequilaThe Way I 1 bu Like It Community Forum Meet Don Smith, new Director of the Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources.
