Show Page Four ' FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1958 ' THE SALT LAKE TIMES Four Businessmen Accept Posts On Drive for Medical School Four outstanding Salt Lake City businessmen were named vice chairmen of the University of Utah Medical Center cam-paign this week by Leland B. Flint, campaign manager. Clarence Bamberger, chairman of the board, Bamberger Invest-ment Co.; James E. Hogle, presi-dent of Hogle Investment Co.; Joseph Rosenblatt, president of Eimco Corp.; and John Wallace, chairman of the board, Walker Bank and Trust Co., all accepted appointments as campaign vice chairmen. Mr. Flint said that all four are familiar with the accomplish-ments of the College of Medicine as well as its physical handicaps. He said that they will help him form campaign committees and direct overall activities of the campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to raise funds needed for construction of the Univer-sity of Utah Medical Center on the Fort Douglas campus. Mr. Bamberger has devoted a large portion of his time toward bettering medical education and facilities in the intermountain area. In addition to his philan-thropic activities he has been ac-tive in mining, banking and gov-ernmental circles. In volunteering to serve as a vice chairman of the campaign, Mr. Bamberger said: "The prac-tice of medicine in Utah is among the finest in the world. The heart of this fine practice is medical education and of course, the heart of our medical educa-tion is the University of Utah College of Medicine. I feel that it is a deep privilege to partici-pate in this campaign. And I am confident we have the full sup-bo- rt of business, industry and private individuals to help ob-tain the medical center, which will enable the school to enhance its great reputation." In addition to his investment fact alone makes it mandatory that we, both the private and corporate citizens, see that it has the necesasry tools with which to fulfill its function at the high-est possible level. Therefore, I feel it a distinct privilege to take part in this campaign." In making the announcement, Mr. Flint said that committees to handle all phases of the cam-paign are in the process of for-mation. business, Mr. Hogle is also active in mining, educational and medi-al affairs. "As a trustee of St. Mark's hospital I have been very close to the medical practice in our area," he said, "and I be-lieve- we are fortunate in the high standards we now enjoy. I firm-ly believe that the Medical Cen-ter is a necessity not only for the members of the medical profes-sion, but for all the people of our entire area. I pledge my full support to this campaign and I am sure all the citizens in our area will join with us in this venture." Mr. Rosenblatt is one of the area's leading industrialists. The manufacturing plants with which he is associated represent one of the largest employers of skilled persons in the state. In accepting the position of vice chairman, he said: "Industry and the medical profession must work as a team to promote adult health stand-ards in our area. I believe the University of Utah Medical Cen-ter must come in order to con-tinue to serve this area. As our area grows in industrial impor-tance and as the medical sciences continue to make rapid gains, it is up to the people to make sure the College of Medicine has the facilities with which to keep pace. The Medical Center will enable the school to not only match this growth but to move ahead in manly key areas. Like the other vice chairmen, Mr. Wallace has a long record of service in both the business and civic worlds. He said, "The Col-lege of Medicine belongs to all the people in our vast area. It now serves as the only medical school in an area comprising learly 2y2 million people.

Small Businessmen Dominate Utah's New State Legislature The Utah Legislature, which convenes in January, will be comprised largely of small busi-nessmen and farmers. As usual, there is a good sprin-kling of attorneys. The legislature will have 22 small businessmen in the House and 10 in the Senate. The 22 in the House represents slightly more than one-thir- d of the mem-bership. There are 14 members of the House who are mainly in the farming and livestock business, the majority being engaged pri-marily in livestock operations. There are nine educators, some of whom are retired. Fourth largest group is made up of at-torneys. The remainder of the House membership is made up of three public employes, four employes of private business firms, two railroad workers and two house-wives. One of the housewives is a beauty culturist. The group classified as busi-nessmen is made up chiefly of merchants, real estate brokers, and insurance men. The Senate is comprised of 10 businessmen, six attorneys, two educators, three livestock grow-ers, and a weekly newspaper publisher. The membership includes only one member of the healing arts a retired dentist who now is engaged in farming. New Demo Senators Plan Texas Meet Senator-elec- t Frank E. Moss this week said he would attend a meeting of newly elected Demo-cratic senators at the ranch of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson in Johnson City, Texas. Another newly named Demo-cratic senator Gale McGee of Wyoming also plans to attend. The gathering is scheduled for Dec. 7. However, news reports quoted the Texas senator as saying no such meeting had been called. Reports from Washington said the Democratic Senate leader plans to meet with all newly-electe- d Democratic senators in a party huddle. These reports hinged on the unprecedented number of Democratic victories in last week's election. Both Mr. Moss and Mr. McGee said they feel the main purpose of the meeting is to permit the new senators and Sen. Johnson to become better acquainted with each other and with some po-litical talk thrown in. It is felt that some of Sen. Johnson's best strategy and greatest powers of persuasion may be needed in the new Con-gress to keep harmony in the party. Sen. Johnson, a field general who likes to know the probable results before he plans an attack faces an immediate problem as soon as the Senate meets. Several Republicans and a few Democrats plan to move to strengthen the Senate's curb on fillibusters. ,This could provide a quick test of Sen. Johnson's powers. It will be his job to pre-vent a split between the liberal and conservative branches of the party that could lead to two years of strife. Mrs. Ann M. Davis announces that all women in the Legislative District No. 12 are invited to a meeting of the group at the home of Mrs. Justin Hurst Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 8:00 p.m. This is the first meeting of the Democratic ladies' organiza-tion. Need for Safety Education Return of children to the nation's classrooms again stresses the need for increased safety education, it is pointed out by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Each year, the company's statisticians report, about 6,000 children from 5 to 14 years of age are killed accidentally. This, is two-fifth- s of all the deaths in this age range. The next leading cause of death cancer takes only a third as many lives as accidents. "Both parents and teachers have the responsibility for in-culcating safe habits on growing children. Their cooperation is needed in programs of safety sponsored by medical, public health, and community organizations. By these efforts, the unnecessary waste of life and limb among our school-ag- e children can be sharply reduced," says the company. In an effort to pinpoint the problems involved the statis-ticians stress the following circumstances surrounding fatal accidents among school age children: Motor vehicle accidents account for two-fifth- s of the deaths. At ages 5-- 9, three out of five of the motor vehicle deaths are among children run over or hit as they play or cross streets, highways and driveways. At ages 10-1- 4, one fourth of the children killed are pedestrians, and deaths in automobile or bicycle collisions are at their peak. Home is the place of accident in 16 per cent of the deaths among boys and 30 per cent among girls at ages 5 to 14. One-fourt- h of the fatal injuries among boys and one-eight- h among girls occur in recreational and other outdoor places. Farm accidents account for only 7 per cent of fatalities among school age children, but at ages 10-1- 4, when boys are helping increasingly with the farm chores, 10 per cent of the accidental loss of life among boys occurs on farms. One fifth of the accidental deaths at ages 5-- 14 result from drowning. Boys are the most frequent victims, drowning causing 24 per cent of all fatalities as compared with 12 per cent for girls. Drownings increase in relative frequency as children grow older. Not only do the older children participate more often in swimming, boating and other sports, but they are also increas-ingly permitted to do so on their own. Falls injure many children, but kill relatively few only 3 per cent of the fatalities being from this cause. Among boys at ages 10-1- 4, 13 per cent of the accidental deaths result from careless use of firearms. Fires, explosions, and a wide variety of mishaps such as those involving machinery, falling objects, electric current, and railroad trains, also contribute to the accidental deaths among our school age children. , oOo : Consider your lady's taste!
