Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1958 Pag Thre University Publishes Geology Bulletins An unusual House Range for-mation in Millard county and the Oquirrh Formation of northern Utah are the subjects of two bul-letins just published by the Uni-versity of Utah. The bulletins originally were written as master's theses for other universities the Univer-sity of Nebraska and Cornell University. The Utah Geological and Min-eralogic- al Survey, affiliated with the University of Utah College of Mines and Mineral Industries sponsored their publication. Harry Merrill Gehman Jr., son of adistinguished mathematician, authored the study of "Notch Peak Intrusive" in the House Range for his MS degree at Cor nell. In a foreward to the study, Arthur L. Crawford, director of the Utah Geological and Miner-alogic- al Survey said, "Seldom can one find in so neat an area the geologic record of such a variety of processes generated by a single intrusive body." Of "The Oquirrh Formation" bulletin, authored by Paul W. Nygreen as his MS thesis at the University of Nebraska, Mr. Crawford said, "The Survey is fortunate to secure this valuable contribution to the stratigraphy of such a scientifically and eco-nomically strategic region in the heart of Utah, adjacent to our most productive mining area." Mr. Nygreen is now employed by Standard Oil Co. of Texas. Mr. Gehman is with the research' staff of the Carter Oil Co. at Tulsa. Send No Elephants By Parcel Post After the San Francisco fire and earthquake of 1906 the Post Office Department stretched its regulations to allow messages to be carried out written on bricks, shingles and strips of wallpaper postage waived. Our own Vernal, Utah is said to have built its first modern business block some three dec-ades ago out of bricks mailed in by parcel post. It remained, however, says the Christian Science Monitor, for fhat remarkable postal system of Britain to send by mail a pony with 84 cents' worth of stamps affixed to his flank. And for that equally remarkable species, the British postmaster, to walk the pony five miles to the ad-dressee in order to save the send-- I er the almost $5 more it would have cost had it been transport-ed by truck. "A lovely day for a walk," commented Postmaster George Cmith, "but I hope nobody gets the idea of mailing an elephant." "Neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night . . . " Safety Council Warns Against Drinking, Driving Alcohol and accidents go hand in hand, the Utah Safety Council reminded this week. More than a fourth of the drivers or adult pedestrians killed in traffic had been drink-ing, a study by the Council has revealed. Further, the Council observed six of every 100 piotorists in-volved in fatal accidents were "under the influence of alcohol" j the most serious violation in- -' eluded in the general category, "had been drinking". j Drink was a major factor in adult pedestrian deaths, too, as 25 of every 100 pedestrians killed had been drinking, accord-- 1 ing, acording to reports from 20 states. Delaware, which has given' special attention to the problem of the drinking driver, whenever possible took blood tests of per-sons injured in traffic mishaps. Intoximeter tests were given, if permission was obtained. If in-juries were too severe to permit tests or if drivers refused to take them, police recorded their opinion of the motorist's condi-tion. Results were that 40.6 per cent of all drivers involved in traffic fatalities had been drinking. "But a few drinks never hurt anybody nor his driving," some will say. Tests indicate that isn't so. F'ifty men and women were! tested before drinking. Then they downed an ounce of whiskey for every 30 pounds of body weight. JThat means a 150 pound man consumed five drinks, taking from 15 to 30 minutes. After a 45-min- wait, the 35 men and 15 women were retest-ed- , with these results. 1. Nearly all suffered loss of visual sharpness. 2. Thirty per cent showed a significant drop in depth per-ception. 3. More than half were unable to judge distances well. 4. More than half were affected adversely by glare. Drinking impairs judgment and reaction time, the tests showed. When quick thinking is vital to survival, the drinking driver is handicapped. While whiskey was used in this test, physicians point out that a 12-oun- ce bottle of beer contains about the same amount of al-cohol as an ounce of whiskey. "If we're to pull down the na-tional traffic death toll, we have to stop motorists from driving after drinking," the Council said. p K the--L EASED GRAPEVINE District Judge Martin M. Lar-se- h has takeii under advisement a petition of two automobile in-surance rating bureaus for a temporary stay in an order of the state insurance commission-er and Business Regulation Com-inissi- on rejecting proposed rate increases. The judge, after hearing argu-ments by counsel for the rating bureaus and for the state regu-latory bodies, said he would give a Speedy decision. Two committees of the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce have been assigned to "follow through'! on a new federal build-ing for Salt Lake City that now is being considered by Congress. The Salt Lake City Commission has agreed to keep closer watch oh the pity's program of travel and expenses for various city officials and personnel. Last year Qe city spent more than $18,000 travel by various city offi-cials. Salt Lake City Commission has approved temporary increases in zone rates in seven of the city's zones. The increases range from 5 to 15c. The rates went into effect Wednesday. Melvin H. Morris this week took the oath of office as new Salt Lake pity prosecutor. The brief ceremony was conducted by City Recorder Herman F. Hogensen. The ritual was wit-nessed by Ted Geurts, finance commissioner. Procedures proposed by Dr. A. Olpin, president, University Clay for reporting monies by the university, includ-ing athletic funds, were ap-proved this week by the State Board of Examiners. University of Utah students will register for their spring quarter classes Friday and Sat-urday in Spencer Pall, Dr. G. Homer Durham, academic vice-preside- nt, said Monday. Winter Quarter report cards are available on the registration days and will be distributed according to the same jschedule as registra-tion materials. The California Youth Sym-phony under the direction of Aaron Sten will appear in the Granite High Schopl Auditorium Tuesday, April 1 at 8:15 p.m. Members pf the Granite Youth Symphony are hosts to the oc-casion. They have invited the California visitors to visit in their homes while here in the Granite area. On the same program will ap-pear the Ogden Boys Chorus and Trumpet Choir, directed by Glen L. Hanson and Fay S. Hanson. Pfc James K. Bankhead, son of Mrs. Phyllis B. Boyer, 223 N. Fifth West, recently spent a pass at the Army's recreation center at Germany's Bavarian Alps. Bankhead is a clerk typist in Headquarters Detachment, 11th Airborne Division's 511th Signal Battalion in Germany. He en-tered the Army in September, 1956 and was last stationed at Fort Bragg, N. C, and arrived j in Europe in April, 1957.
