Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1961 Paoe Five Audubon Official Urges Passage Of Wilderness Preservation Bill study and to enjoy." In an analysis of the bill, the Audubon Society said it would accomplish the "objective of wil-derness preservation for public use" through the following pro-visions: 1. It would establish as the policy of Congress "to secure for the American people of present and future generations the bene-fit of an enduring resource of wilderness." 2. It would define "wilderness and wilderness areas" in under-standable terms to assure that standards and policy will remain reasonably consistent through the years. 3. It would provide statutory protection for the parts of na-tional forests now designated by administrative ruling as "wilder-ne- s areas," "wild areas," "canoe areas" and "primitive areas." Sizable natural areas without roads or buildings in the national parks and suitable areas in the national wildlife refuges also would become part of the wilder-ness system. 4. It would protect existing private rights in areas included in the wilderness system. . 5. It would set up an orderly procedure for additions, dele-tions or changes in the wilder-ness system or in any particular area, with provision for due no-tice, public hearings and review by Congress. The President could, under the terms of the Anderson bill, open a wildernes area to mining, res-ervoir construction, or mineral development. Or Congress itself, could by legislative action change any area or open it to commer-cial uses. Such changes could not be made, however, simply by decision of hte federal bureau in charge of the area, as is now the case. It has been estimated that only about 8 per cent of the 180 mil-lion acres in the national forests would be involved in 80 areas that would come under the pro-visions of the wilderness bill. Other wildernes areas may be designated in 48 national parks and monuments and in some of the larger federal wildlife ref-uges. j Court Conferences I Begin April 18 The 1961 Utah regional traffic court conferences will commence Tuesday, April 18, at Logan, to be followed by nine others in the state, the Utah Safety Coun- - cil has announced. Highlights of each conference will be a review of 1961 traffic law changes and possible revi-sion of the fees schedule for; Justices of the Peace. Local and state problems affecting courts; and enforcement officers will be discussed and possible remedies suggested. The conferences will be under the direction of Justice J. Allan Crockett, Utah Supreme Court. He will be assisted by Homer Wilkinson. Assistant Attorney General; Ernest F. Kyriopoulos, Assistant Chief Examiner of the ( Drivers License Division; G. Er- - nest Bourne, manager, Safety Council; and the local district supervisor of the Utah Highway Patrol. Judges, justices of the peace, city and county attorneys, juve-nile court officers and judges and local law enforcement officers are being invited and urged to attend. Particular emphasis will be given to new court responsibili-ties established by the Legisla-ture relating to the new "point" system for driver license, con-trol. The new system will become effective May 9. Health Vigilantes Protect You Against Enemies "Vigilante" in the modern sense might be used to identify the public health officers, state, local and national who stand guard between the people and the enemies of health. These vigilantes include not only officers of Public Health Services, but of the Food and Drug Administration, the Na-tional Cancer Institute, and of other official and private medi-cal, health and research organi-zations, whose responsibility is to serve and protect you. The vigilance of some of these agencies, their technicians and enforcement officers help to pro-tect us from contagious disease; and as a result of immunization, medical detection and improved sanitation, many of the ancient killers have about disappeared. We are, however, threatened with a whole new set of health hazards, such as occupational diseases, polluted water and the atomic fall out which we, our-selves, have created as part of our modern environment. These are more difficult to control than the older, well known diseases because our environment and our habits are changing so rapid-ly. How can scientific protection keep pace with the hazards in-cident to scientific progress? Take the case of cancer: Magignant growths are prob-ably as old as man, but there is mounting evidence that at least some cancers, in some organs of the body, are caused by foreign substances related to modern us-ages and industrial hazards. For example, without the application of known safety measures, the dust breathed by uranium miners and other workers results in a higher than normal incidence of lung cancer. Millions of dollars have been spent by government and private institutions, including tobacco companies, to determine if to-bacco causes lung cancer, and if so, why. Out of this research will come controls or improved products to remove or lessen the danger. The whole field of food adul-teration, food additives and sup-plements presents a constant problem. Every such item must be carefully screened to protect us against dangers. This need is intensified by the many new products appearing on the mar-ket and the ignorance, careless-ne- s, or haste of some producers. Also through constant research and increased knowledge some ingredients formerly thought to be harmless or even beneficial are now found to be deleterious; while new ones are invented or discovered to serve better the requirements of modern diet as well as production and distribu-tion. For example, sassafras tea was for many of us, grandmothers spring tonic and remedy for any minor ailment as well as a nice beverage. Yet recently, a panel of distinguished scientists rep-resenting the U. S. Public Health Health Service and others found that oil of sassafras is possibly a minor cause of cancer of the liver. While there is no conclu-sive evidence of the result with humans, the essence unquestion-ably caused liver cancer in fe-male rats and in dogs. The Food and Drug Adminis-tration ordered, on December 5, 1960, that oil of sassafras could nof, be used henceforth in any food or beverage in the United States. It is a measure of the cooperation of the food industry that all manufacturers of soft drinks, in which sassafras was used for flavoring, had discon-tinued its use, merely on suspi-cion, prior to the issuance of the order. .

The department noted that the reason for this strict regulation in the law was to assure that the most suitable species are planted in each water and to prevent the scattering of trash fishes into otherwise clean waters. This is also the reason for the present law making it illegal to use live fish as bait in any water of the state. The law concerning the plant-ing of fish reads, "No person, partnership, company, corpora-tion or government agency may place into the waters of the state of Utah any species of fish with-out obtaining permission from the Utah State Department of Fish and Game."
