They may happen three times in every ten drinking bouts. Concern mounts in the man because lost days and weeks create all sorts of problems in the persons social, business and domestic life. In fishing for clues to assure him that he did complete a task he has no recollection of even confronting, he always betrays his astounding confusion. His business, social and family days may be numbered. He is tabbed as unreliable. Realization of this can send him to only one situaa lonely living grave in tion isolation. The pattern of progression toward acute and chronic alcoholism usually includes the beginning of daytime drinking. For a great many weeks and years, the heavy drinker refrains from starting before evening. He is determined to wait until he is through with his work usually so that he can eagerly get at his drinking at a time when there will be no interference from the demands of conducting the details of his job. Drinking truly is a welcome release from the cares of a troubled existence. It is the common boast of pracalcoholic that tically every drinking rarely, if ever, interfered with his work. He does shrug off the inefficiencies resulting from brutal hangovers. They also may have made him sometimes late, but he always reported in.

Webb, Regional Commissioner for the Social Security Administration and Philip J. Gralton, Regional Representative for Disability Insurance, will present a special award to the Disability Determination Unit of the Utah State Board of Educations Division of Rehabilitation Services. The Commissioners Citation, which is the highest honor that can be conferred by the Social Security Administration, will be presented to the Unit at the next monthly meeting of the State Board of Education next week. According to Dr. Harvey C. Hirschi, Administration for the Division of Rehabilitation Services, the award is being presented to the Unit for its outstanding work in handling an unusually high number of Black Lung" disability claims resulting from the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1970. That federal act made miners disabled by the occupational disease eligible for paid benefits by the Social Security System. Originally an estimated 400 claims were expected in Utah. However, during the two years the Act has been in effect the Disability Determination Unit has processed nearly 1600 claims, said Dr. Hirschi. The awards will be accepted by Morris E. Sorensen, coordi nator for the Disability Determination Unit. Mr. Sorenson noted that handling and processing of Black Lung cases has resulted in more than $1 million annually going to afflicted Utah miners and or their dependents. The most of those receiving benefits are residents of Utahs coal mining area, principally Carbon and Emery counties. Wildlife Arrest Report Fishermen led the procession to Utah courts last month when 85 wildlife law violators were assessed $2,705 in fines and sentenced to 188 days in jail. Judges suspended $230 and $148 days of jail sentence. The Division of Wildlife Resources arrest report for March showed that fishermen accounted for nearly half of the court visits that month. Nine cases in- volved fishing in closed waters; 5 were for fishing out of season; 15 for fishing without a license; 4 for using another persons license and several for set lines, extra poles and illegal bait. Hunting deer out of season saw four violators into court during March. Three cases were for illegal possession of game animals and several involved the safety law against carrying a loaded gun in a vehicle. The day that involves everyone.
