Need-to-Kno- WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE greater talent; rather, the works are poorer when done under the w No drug has caused more with the possible exception of marihuana, than the strange compound known as LSD. y, Is LSD dangerous? Definitely yes says the National Institute of Mental Health, Federal agency focus of a new nationwide attack on the abuse of dangerous drugs and narcotics. Hospital and other medical studies show that LSD can cause panic, paranoia, and accidental death. Reactions to taking LSD range from worry, panic, and depression to severe mental derangement. Days, weeks, even months after a dose of LSD has been taken, the things the user thought that he saw and felt may recur in his mind and make him fear he is going insane. The physical effects LSD can produce are far from pretty. Eye pupils dilate, hands and feet shake and tremble uncontrollably, palms turn cold and sweaty, the body shivers and turns chilly, goose pimples pop out, breathing is irregular. There is loss of appetite and nausea; and the pulse and heart rate rise, as does blood pressure. LSD is short for lysergic acid chemdiethylamide. A man-mad- e ical first produced in 1938, it was accidentally discovered in 1943 to produce bizarre effects on the mind when a Swiss chemist swallowed some LSD while working in his laboratory. He had strange sensations and felt as if he were , flying. Despite this soaring start, LSD was little explored in following years as far as definitive pharmacological studies in man were concerned. The weird compound lay around, studied by some drug researchers but ignored by most. Then the wave of far-oexperience seekers washed up a few years ago. LSD became the darling of the daring. It was claimed to give you great feelings and increase many capacities, like sex and creativity. None of this has proved out. In fact, the reverse may be true. But many fables and fallacies like these have spread about LSD. The following facts come from research, not from fantasy and rumor. Studies have shown that LSD is more likely to decrease sex interests than to increase them. Paintings, writings, and other fail to show works by LSD-use- .... influence. Worse, LSD is dangerous. It can cause panic (fear of losing ones mind), paranoia (suspicion that theyre after me!), mental derangement, and accidental death. It has been called the most powerful drug in the world. No wonder: 25 micrograms is an amount almost invisible to the maked eye. Yet this amount will produce an effect in most people. Classed as a hallucinogen and which mean psychedelic g or LSD is a member of a group of drugs which include other compounds like marihuana, peyote, mescaline, psilocybin, DMT, and STP. Except for government-approve- d use for research, LSD is illegal in the United States. Because LSD is dangerous when not used for careful research under close medical supervision, it is closely regulated by Federal and State laws. These provide stiff penalties for illegal production, sale, other disposition, and, in some cases, for possession or use. Because more knowledge is needed about this powerful compound, broad scale research is underway to learn fully about its chemistry, animal and human effects, and whether it can have any medical or other real values. This is another part of the national attack on abuse of narcotics and dangerous drugs of all kinds. On the educational side, newspapers, magazines, radio, and television are enlisting in the fight in a new campaign to provide everyone with accurate information.

C. 20013. mind-affecti- mind-alterin- The lawn on the corner west of the Kanab Stake House and south of the City Swimming Pool in its present condition is a disgrace to the community. These are the words of several citizens, and we echo them. By the person traveling through, the city gets a black eye because of the lack of care but where does the responsiblity lie? The original agreement on the property, from what we can gather goes like this: The property on which the swimming in now situated, plus some of the ground around it (132 feet square) was given to the city by the two Kanab Wards. (The property was appraised at $15,000) It was agreed at that time that the Church would care for the lawn (mow and water it) and the city would charge the Church for the minimum gallonage, and donate anything above thtat, and also that there would be no Sunday swimming. The big problem is that the agreement was only verbal nothing in writing. On July 16 the Church paid a water bill of $128.10; and on August 12 they paid $83.00. Obviously the Church cannot keep this up, but the city has continued sending the bill. Result: the lawn has not been watered for quite come time. Some citizens are quick to point out, that as the lawn dies away, overflow water from the storage tank dribbles off into the city ditch. Now someone smart could draw a paradox from that. So far as anyone is concerned that corner is actually a city park. And so who should care for it? The agreed arrangements seem fine to us, if they were only carried out. We are supposed to be in the middle of a clean-u- p campaign prior to our coming centennial, but that corner is going down hill. The South Ward Bishopric went to Wednesdays city council meeting in hopes of getting an agreement worked out and in writing, but after 45 minutes to an hour of waiting they left (guess their time is valuable too!) We hope an agreement can be worked out to get the lawn back in shape. Daniel S. Frost has stated that if given a go ahead he and his friends would cover the lawn with manure, if we could have a clean up day and remove the weeds around it and cut the lawn. Of course, it will take water too. We would like to call upon the city and Church to get together and also call a work day, that the corner may be what it should be.

Also attending from here were Merle Adams, Bernell Lewis, and Reo Heaton. Bill explained that probably another two years would Lv required by the companies in studying the feasibility of mining the coal deposits in the Kaiparowits area. He said that officials of the companies hoped participating that if all goes well the first unit could be on the line by 1977, although the projected date is 1978. Bill said the companies were optimistic, and that most critical point at this time is if the coal be produced economcally. Mr. L. A. Shaffer from California, visiting the Chamber meeting, presented briefly a plan that is being used in California to help teenagers find things to do, and to help them stay away from narcotics. He stated that the teenagers with adult advisers obtained a building, furnished it as they wanted it, and raised money for its rennovation. A place of their own, was what they wanted, he said. They are now raising money to expand their building. He stated that the more serious older boys were given intensive police training and equipped with uniforms badges and the works, except for guns, and helped police their own activities as well as ride patrol with the officers. He believes it could work well in this area for it works there, arrests are he said. Teen-ag- e down, and percentage of arrests in connection with narcotics has decreased, he claimed. Other items discussed by the directors were: A radio station in Kanab, possibilities for which are being investigated by a Texas firm. A contract for a lessee at the airport. Negotiations on this has been going on between the city and a prospective lessee for some DUP wall sponsor 'Grand Opening' time. Members of the Chamber Directors visited with city council-meand reported that it looks well for this new business. n, The prospective lessees met Wednesday night with the cjty, but details were not available at press time. The Chamber feels this would be a great addition to the city and would help keep the airport in better condition. Motion was made to send letter of appreciation to Carol Barn-so- n who turned profit of a recent cookout to the Chamber for the Chambers help in preparing the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Grand Opening Saturday, October 25th will be a gala day for DUP members at Kanab.

Fredonia girl attends Hearing Institute at USU LOGAN Julene Yazzie, Fredonia, Ariz., is currently attending the Western Institute for the Hard of Hearing at Utah State University in Logan. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Mayo of Fredonia and has previously attended the Utah School for the Deaf. Since 1965, Utah State University has been developing special educational programs for moderately and severely hard of hearing individuals. Dr. Frederick S. Berg, associate professor of audiology and speech pathology at USU and director of the program, points out that in the United States the hard of hearing person typically is not obtaining an adequate education to compete in society. Whether in a regular school or in a school for the deaf, he seldom has the advantage of an educational program designed to meet his unique needs. Instead, he is treated as a hearing person or as a deaf individual. Both the U. S. Office of Education and the Social Rehabilitation Service have supported the unique development at USU which has been given the name educational audiology to distinguish it from deaf education. Since September, 1968, college-ag- e hearing impaired students have been participating in this USU special facilitative program for the hard of hearing. The encouraging results of and national interest in the pilot project have led USUs Audiology and Speech Pathology Department to seek a five year continuation of grant support from the Social Rehabilitation Service, Dr. Berg said. This year 30 hearing impaired students from 20 states are en- - rolled in the program at USU. It is anticipated that the enrollment will peak at approximately 100 by 1974. An intensive evaluation of the students capabilities is conducted at the begnning and the end of the academic year to provide specific planning as well as indication of extent of progress. Particular areas of concern include hearing, language, communication, intelligence, aptitude, and interests. The use of an appropriate hearing aid is an essential ingredient of the program. The students are taught to rely upon oral communication training, speechreading instruction, auditory training, and vocabulary building are incorporated to enhance the utilization of oral communication skills, the director explained. |
