Cancer of the mouth does not occur too often in adults and hardly ever in children, but still strikes some 20,000 people a year and kills nearly half of them. Some of those who died could have been saved if they had known the symptoms of mouth cancer and had bothered to go to a doctor or dentist when something wrong" appeared. Like other types of cancer, the earlier the disease is found, the better the chance of being cured. Delaying may literally throw away the chance of a cure. The importance of early treatment makes the saving of lives a personal matter for every body. It is up to the individual to get a physical checkup and to know enough about suspicious symptoms to tell the doctor about them. One of the best ways to prevent mouth cancer is to avoid the conditions which may cause it. These include: 1 Dont stay for long periods in direct sunlight. Use cream on the lips if you must be in the sun. 2 Dont irritate lips and mouth with tobacco or with cigarettes or a pipe. 3 See a dentist if you have a denture or tooth that irritates the surrounding tissue. 4 Eat a balanced diet avoid the use of exessively hot food or drinks and keep the mouth clean. An educational program about mouth cancer is being conducted in the county by the American Cancer Society. Citizens who take the time to learn might be saving their own lives! Elks Lodge seeks elk and deer hides Lake where they are used in handicraft work as part of the therapy and rehabilitation program of the hospital. Last year generous sportsmen of the state contributed in excess of 1300 hides through the IS local Elks Lodges of the state, as part of the Elks program to treat the whole man", not just his injuries or disabilities. We can all help to make this year the biggest and best for those whose personal sacrifices sometimes go unnoticed or forgotten. Look for the Red, White and Blue collection barrels in your community. Uintah Basin elk and deer hunters are asked to support a worthwhile cause during the current big game seasons. Again this year the Vernal Elks Lodge members are carrying out their annual Hides for Veterans" campaign In conjunction with the Utah Elks Association. All elk, deer and livestock hides collected are tanned and donated to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Salt - Dear Editor; I read with Interest your item on the Indian Canyon road. S is very nice and like you say, the oil strip to make the connection will be wonderful. I wonder tho if anyone stopped to think of the Old Timers who first started that road, namly the first Indians, the homesteaders and the old pioneers of the basin to whom the road was a neccessity. This road was the nearest connection to the railroad , It was made mostly by donation at first to make a road to a saw mill for lumber. Next as a stage and freight route for supplies. This also was during the year of 1915 , the first federal aid road in the State of Utah.. At that time there was no State Road organization and it was handled directly through the Governor. Bamberger and the secretary of State, Joseph N. Rlrie. George Stone, then the State Prison Warden, sent convicts to help build the road over the hill and the lower end of Willow creek. Prior to the State road, about 1909, A.M. Murdock operated the Duchesne Stage Transportation Co. and had a Star Mail route between Colton Utah on the railroad and Vernal. s, This line was first operated by and later In 1912 by automobile. In the old days the problem was mostly snow and mud. The road from the head horse-train- of Indian Canyon went to the east around the head of Argyle canyon. It was a long way around and was on the north hillside, where the snow was sometimes 5 or 6 feet deep , had to be dug out by hand or packed down with drags and horses. The Avlntaquln side of the mountain offered a better road bed, was free from timber and more exposed to the sun. I am sending you a copy of an old contract made by Mr. Murdock and Frank Johnson. This contract was fulfilled and as you can see varied sharply from the two or three mlllllon dollars spent on the new road. This is a picture of what the Old timers" had to face and all the old horses and truck freighters donated time and money to help build the did road. They are mostly all gone now but there are old camp spots named for some of them. If you like you can print this old yarn and if it came to a showdown I could prove that Its not all lies. Yours truly. Grant Murdock Duchesne, Utah Editors note; The contract mentioned agreed upon the sum of $800 to construct a ot roadway over Willow Creek Pass. Dear Editor; If any one has a problem with their children, dont take the problem to the PTA, unless you comply with their rules, your case is closed before you get there. Form your own group and take it to the school board. If that doesnt help take it even higher. The problem of hemlines in the Roo Of course we want modesty in our schools but when children are hurt to an extent that can never be corrected, I think it is time that one inch is looked at with a lot of leniency. When the meeting was through the only subject discussed was said to be a minor issue and apparently nothing will be done about it. The days are gone when you had to fight with the child to keep him in school. Now you have to fight with the school to get them to let your child stay in school. Mary Smith.
