A research project in one state turned up more than 1.009 cases of uterine cancer by using the "Pap" test and half of these were in the early, curable states. Most of the early cases are totally unsuspected by the women involved. Getting such a test regularly every year could be a life-sav- er for many Utah women. But it's up to the individual to make the effort and take the few minutes necessary. An educational program about uterine cancer and the "Pap" test is being conducted in the county by the American Cancer Society.

Each census taker will wear a red, white, and blue indenti fication card. This card bears the seal of the Department of Commerce, and the words "Census Enumerator, Official Credential" are printed across its face. It bears the census taker's signature and certifies that he is authorized to perform the duties of a census enumerator and has sworn to keep confidential all census information you provide. Persons purporting to be census takers who do not have this identification card should be reported immediately to the local police or to the census district office, which is located at Orem. Census takers will be further identified by the portfolio containing their supplies. The portfolio is blue and bears the legend, "1 70 Census." In the portfolio, the census taker carries supplies of report forms, maps, pencils, and other tools necessary for the work. to sponsor book fair MES The Monticello Elementry School Will sponsor a student book fair from April 13 through April 17.
