Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1973 Point of Mountain Section of 5 Open After 2 Year Construction 1- -1 Two new adjoining sections of there have been eight fatalities Interstate Highway 15 were at the Point which have given opened over the Point of the this section a particularly bad Mountain. Motorists are urged to maintain caution through the area as the contractors crews complete land scapeing, fencing and other miscellaneous jobs adjacent to the roadway. The first of these sections began construction in May of 1971 and ran from Bluffdale Road to Alpine Road. The second section began in April of 1972 and ran from Alpine Road to North Lehi, to connect with existing Interstate. W. W. Clyde & Company of Springville, Utah, is the contractor for both sections. Total cost of both contracts, including railroad relocation and the Alpine Interchange, is $6,856,441.00. With the opening of these two sections motorists can enjoy nonstop freeway driving for 102 miles along the Wasatch Front from Hot Springs north of Ogden to South Santaquin. Traffic recently has been using the southbound lanes of these new sections as a four-lan- e highway. Southbound traffic will remain restricted to two lanes until restriping can be facilitated. The old Point of the Mountain road had long been considered exttemely treacherous, particularly during snow storms. Statistically, during 1972 Point of the Mountain had a low accident rate of 0.98 accidents per million miles of travel, compared to the state average of 4.5 accidents per million miles of travel. During the last three years however, reputation with regard to safety. Interstate highways have prov- en to be twice as safe as conventional roads and highway officials anticipate that the opening of these new sections will lower the accident rate even further. Grand Targhee Changes Hands A controlling interest in the Grand Targhee Ski Area, a 1200 acre resort located in the heart of the Teton Mountains near Driggs, Idaho, was acquired on October 3 by Big Valley Corporation. William H. Robinson of Wilmington, Ohio is the principal shareholder of Big Valley Corporation, which will continue to operate the resort under the name of Grand Targhee Resort.

At the base of the mountain there are overnight accommodations for over 300, with additional housing facilities in Driggs, Idaho.

The model was developed by Dr. Harrison M. Lazarus, assistant professor of surgery, and Dr. David G. Ellertson, a surgical resident. Both hold joint appointments with the Salt Lake Veterans Administration Hospital. al drug abuse occurs, for example, when a drug addict, seeking a healthy vein in which to inject his daily dosage, misses the target and shoots the substance into an artery. The result? Intra-arteri- al Immediate excruciating pain varying degrees of neurosen-sor- y disfunction . . . eventual loss of an extremity due to the onset of gangrene, according to Dr. Lazarus. adThe veins of a long-tim- e dict often collapse after repeated injections, said Dr. Ellertson, and he is forced to seek different areas to inject drugs. It is usually in those types of cases that an addict will accidentally miss a vein and hit an artery. Fresh blood flowing through the artery carries the drug to the extremities, such as hands or feet. Within a matter of seconds, the addict suffers sharp pain and, within hours, gangrene has taken over the tissues of the fingers or toes, Even if a victim seeks immediate medical attention at the onset of pain, we can save only 50 per cent of our patients from loss of digits (fingers or toes), said Dr. Lazarus. The research, jointly funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Veterans Administration, is seeking to discover how the arteries and veins are primarily affected by the drugs, and the development of better methods of treatment. Most of our experience has been with barbiturates, said Dr. Ellertsn, but other types of drugs can cause the disorder. He said there was even a case re . . . ported in California where an addict injected liquid from a container of nosedrops into an artery and suffered gangrene to the extremity. The researchers used rabbits in establishing their model. They inject a barbiturate into the base of the animals ear and then trace the drugs progress through the ears vascular system by use of angiography. Angiography is a radiologic technique that combines a dye with the injection. Radiologists then take an showing the on effect the animals drugs tissue. Drs. Ellertson and Lazarus, who have been working on the since February project part-tim- e have 1971, developed their rabbit model to the point where they can begin extensive research into remedies. In addition to their display this week, an article detailing their findings in establishing the model is scheduled to .appear in the December issue of The American Journal of Surgeons. over-the-count- er x-r- ay Advisory Service for Small Businessmen A unique free advisory service for minority businessmen has been established in Salt Lake.
