It wouldn't be easy, even though it's true; and it just goes to show that wildlife is really pretty amazing. As proof of the pudding, the wombat, an 80-pound Australian mole, digs tunnels that are large enough for a man to crawl through. And the mammal with the 1,000-pound 1,000-pound heart is the blue whale, which also has tongue that weighs nearly 9,000 pounds. And if that staggers your imagination, can you imagine a bird that builds a nest that weighs as much as a young elephant? There is one, and it winters in Utah. The bald eagle builds a nest of twigs and branches bran-ches that often measures more than eight feet across. One such nest measured feet across and 12 feet deep and had been used for 35 consecutive con-secutive years. Not all wildlife facts are amazing, however, and some are quite sobering.

Editorial Voman makes plea to stop cemetery theft Another plea is coming forth from my typewriter this week, in answer to one person's request that we try to do something about the vandalism at the cemeteries here. So we are once again begging parents to take note of what their children, and especially their teenagers, are doing with their time. Cemetery markers continually are being damaged, but more than that, the vases attached to the markers are being broken off and stolen. And even worse, the flowers in the vases are being taken right along with the vases. Tom Fox, cemeteries superintendent, says he believes that action is the work of more than just vandals or pranksters because most of the time the vases and flowers are nowhere to be found. Vandals generally leave a trail of that which they have vandalized. One woman telephoned this week to report that the vase from her dead husband's grave marker is once again missing and that she does not have the financial means to replace it. The vase had been stolen before and was replaced by cemeteries crews, but the cemeteries department has run out of extra vases. This time, in addition to the vase, a bouquet of flowers which had been placed on the grave just a few days before was also taken. What do we have to do to get people to leave other people's property alone? What possible satisfaction can one get from stealing? And even more, what possible satisfaction can one get from stealing from the poor and the dead? ' We feel it is more than just a case of Robinhood "Taking from the haves and giving to the have nots." It's wrong. By any man's standards, it's still wrong. Granted, parents cannot baby sit their kids all the time. Teenagers, especially, could and should get their kicks from "helping" instead of "harming" others. - S MMMIMWMmrri-T-M1 V 1rfiYY-'V'r v.;.y:v, iWjj&a f"irsI security bank of Utah.

The U of U Center for Human Toxicology is spearheading a national effort to identify drug-impaired drivers on our highways. The first goal is to identify which drugs at what intake levels significantly impair driving ability. The second task is to determine what types of tests on blood, urine or saliva can be used to identify drivers who are under the influence of these drugs. Current state laws prohibiting driving under the influence of drugs are unenforceable except in the grossest of cases because there is no solid analytical toxicology to back them up. rates meet Tuesday evenings from 7-10 p.m. irr Room AS 101.
