Volume 41 Number 17 Utah Safety Council Plans Campaign To Save Hunters Hunting safety will be the October project of the Public Traffic Safety Education Com-mittee of the Utah Safety Coun-cil, which, as its name implies, is usually concerned mainly with traffic safety. In cooperation with the Utah Fish and Game Department, the committee will carry on a com-prehensive campaign aimed at assuring that all hunters will re-turn home safely to enjoy their venison, duck or pheasant. The campaign was outlined by G. Ernest Bourne, manager of Utah Safety Council, as . the committee resumed meetings this month after a three-mont- h sum-mer recess. The committee also unani-mously elected Howard L. Blood, public relations manager of the Mountain States Tele-phone Company, as chairman for the ensuing year and assigned projects for November and De-cember. They will be pedestrian safety and prevention of home and holiday hazards. A two-prong- ed attack will be pressed against hunting casual-ties, Mr. Bourne told the com-mittee. One phase will concern actual hunting hazards use of guns, camping, hiking, over-exertio- n, and getting lost. The other will stress caution in traveling to and returning from hunting areas. Mr. Bourne pointed out that there were 32 firearm fatalities in Utah last year. Although 21 of these occurred in the home, he said several of these were con-nected with hunting. Steps being taken by the Fish and Game Department to cut down on the hunting toll were explained by Lee Robertson of the Department. He said the first full year of hunting under the new hunting safety law had been marked by a 50 per cent cut in deaths. He said the number of gun accidents in the field dropped from 83 to 52, although the number of hun-ters increased 20 per cent. Mr. Robertson said depart-ment officials are encouraged to believe that the reduced toll is due to the new law. He also told of the gun safety and survival classes being spon-sored by the department to qual-ify new hunters for licenses and to teach all hunters how to pro-tect themselves and others while in fields or mountains. A person between 16 and 21 who has not hunted before must successfully complete an eight-hou- r gun safety course before being allowed to purchase a license. the--L EASED GRAPEVINE The Utah Legislative Council has been asked to begin a to study determine if it would be in the public interest to provide an exemption from ad valorem taxes for businessmen and home owners who construct fallout shelters. The request was made by Pub-lic Safety Commissioner Herbert F, Smart in a letter this week to Rep. Ernest Dean, chairman of the council. Salt Lake City's special bond election last week which over-whelmingly approved 19 V2 mil-lion dollars for major capital improvements was canvassed this week by the city commis-sion. The commission approved a resolution certifying the re-sults and making minor correc-tions in the vote tally. After several years of experi-mentin- g with ref lectorized plates and two-ye- ar plates, the State Tax Commission is preparing to issue in 1962 only a basic, non-re- f lectorized, single-yea- r plate.

Bracken Lee was the only member of the commission voting in favor of angle parking. Senator Frank E. Moss (D-Uta- h) announced that he has nominated a fellow Utahn, mid-dleweight boxing champion Gene Fullmer, to be chosen as one of America's 10 outstanding young men of 1961. TOYM is a program of the U.S. Junior Chamber of Com-merce, open to U.S. citizens 21-3- 5 years of age. Its purpose is to "focus public attention on the accomplishments of the nations young men and to illustrate (Jf) opportunities for young men m a free society." Annual sale of hunting and fishing equipment confiscated by the Utah courts during the past year totaled $704.25. Items sold during the auction included 21 guns and eight other items of outdoor equipment. Each item was sold to the highest bidder present during this annual sale as it is con-ducted at the State Capitol. The moneys are deposited in the state fish and game fund. Goods sold are those confis-cated by the courts after they have been used in the Vlegal pursuit or taking of game during the year previous to each sale. Architects designing the new joint City-Coun- ty Hall of Jus-tice Building have been asked to preoare plans for a portion of the basement as a fallout shelter. The request was made this week bv Public Safety Commissioner Herbert F. Smart. Stephen L. Raymond, son of Mr. and Mrs. Budd C. Raymond of 147 Hampton Ave., graduated from recruit training recently at the Naval Training Center, San Diego, Calif. The graduation exercises in-cluded a full dress parade and review before military officials and civilian dignitaries. In nine weeks of instruction the raw recruit is developed into a Navy Bluejacket, ready for duty with the fleet. Ten Million Americans Have Emphysema , Over 10,000,000 people in the United States, most of the past 40, are afflicted with emphy-sema, a chronic lung condition of uncertain origin, character-ized chiefly by shortness of breath. It is more prevalent than lung cancer and tuberculosis combined and is increasing. The name is a Greek word meaning inflation. The lungs are puffed up with air that the vic-tim cannot expel. As he expends mor energy trying, he has less reserve to do anything else. The mysterious malady is just begin-ning to receive the research it deserves writes Grace Naismith in a September Reader's Digest article, "Emphysema Our Most Neglected Disease?" When emphysema is the diag-nosis, drugs which cause relaxa-tion of bronchial muscle, used in special machines or hand bulb devices are part of the treat-ment. Air passages must be cleared. Oxygen therapy is also used. No apparatus, however, will replace the muscular activity of the patient himself. Says Dr. Alvan L. Barach, consultant in medicine at Presbyterian Hos-pital, New York, "A program of inhalation of oxygen while valking has resulted in in-creased exercise capacity in most of 100 patients, with a corres-ponding improvements in physi-cal fitness and mental outlook." To avoid emphysema, good posture, daily exercise, and the cultivation of good breathing habits are advised. Prompt med-ical treatment should be sought for any shortness of breath, sinus infection, prolonged or repeated chest colds and particularly chronic coughs. The article is condensed from Today's Health, a publication of the American Medical Assn. Portrait of a Hometown Publisher (Continued from Page One) sip, poker, green eye shades, high stools, hand presses some natural talent and a whole lot of hard-heade- d common sense. But times have changed. Our head man still is a tough guy (wouldn't be much if he wasn't) but he does it with a smile on his face usually. One of the big reasons for his toughness is that he is very much the town's watch-do- g and interpreter of his local govern-ment. He interprets the doings of his local people, too. Actually he's the town's historian. Also, he is the town's leader. Every worthwhile, local enter-prise begins and ends in his office, or in his brain. He leads just about every club and local organization. He heads the drives all of them. He "clothes the poor, visits the sick and buries the dead." This new kind of publisher has new kinds of fights on his hands. While the big brother is fighting unions and taxes, he, out there in the grass roots, is fighting for FOI Freedom of Information; Freedom of the Press and freedom to live the won-derful kind of life that only is found out there in the sticks, where houses are homes, neighbors are friends and there are trees on every street. This friendly, knowledgeable man has led it to, and ad-vanced with this town, to a new awareness, a new sophistication, a new prosperity. He's still a country boy, but no longer a slave. He's got a trained, professional staff now. He can get away, not just to fish but to foreign lands. Everyone would be surprised, if a survey were taken, to see how many Hometown publishers and editors do just that each year. Fire Drills Important At Start Of School Term School and college fires take a shameful toll of lives, the International Association of Fire Chiefs reports. Over the past 50 years, an average of 18 lives children, teachers and fireman have been taken. Property loss caused by an average of 12 major school fires a day is estimated in the mil-lions of dollars. The IAFC emphasized that about half of a child's waking hours are spent in school activities. Grave responsibility thus rests upon school officials for their safety. These officials, the IAFC said, must guard against fire oc-curin- g in their buildings by adhering to a planned program of fire prevention activities, and too, they must prepare in case fire should break out. This can be accomplished only by holding fre-quent, well planned and intelligently coordinated fire drills. In the event of a real fire, selection of the proper exit would then be made without hesitation, at a time when seconds count. The fire drill is a life-savin- g medium. Its efficiency is vital. The International Association of Fire Chiefs points out that the frequency of fire drills can logically vary between age groups since children in the primary grades require more frequent prac-tice than do high school students. The younger children, exposed to fire drills perhaps for the first time in their lives, require con-ditioning, not only to fire drill procedure, but to the psychology of the drill itself. They must be introduced to the fire drill and made aware of the very important nature of it and yet be free of panic. ' Forestry Contest For Utah 4-H'- ers Hits Faster Pace KAMAS Utah's 4-- H Club boys and girls with forestry proj-ects are stepping up their acti-vities to prepare for judging early this fall in the competition for county, state, sectional and national awards. Six sectional winners will re-ceive expense-pai- d trips to the 40th National 4-- H Club Congress in Chicago this fall, while six national winners will receive trips and $400 college scholar-ships. The trips and scholarships will be provided by the forest industries as part of the indus-try's program to promote fores-try education. Announcement that the Utah 4-- H forestry winner will be eligible to compete for one of the top awards was made jointly this week by Glenn T. Baird, supervisor of extension youth programs, Utah State Univer-sity, Logan, and Ward Blazzard of Kamas Valley Lumber Co., Kamas, chairman of the Utah Tree Farm Committee. The pro-gram is conducted here by the extension service. "Forestry and the multiple use benefits of wood, water, wildlife, recreation and soil pro-tection are increasingly impor-tant to Americans as population growth increases the necessity of getting more from every acre of our limited land base," said Baird. "The 4-- H forestry pro-gram is helping to demonstrate that growing wood is compatible with camping, hiking, hunting and other recreational activities cn managed forest lands." Blazzard said the industry's education arm, American Forest Products Industries. Washing-ton, D.C., will provide gold- - filled medals for county winners in Utah, a pen and pencil set for the state winner, as well as the Chicago trips and scholarships, through the National 4-- H Serv-ice Committee, Inc., Chicago. This is the 14th year in which the program has been conducted, said Baird. If It's Printing . . .
