Can some types of food cause decay? A. Sugar contained in some foods is a primary cause of tooth decay, but the combination of sugar and plaque is deadly. Plaque plus sugar equals acid which eats away at tooth enamel. The first twenty minutes after eating surgary food is when the greatest damage occurs, and the longer the sugar remains in the mouth the more likely decay will occur. oc-cur.

Local girls attend FFA conference Nichole Phillips and Keri Palfreyman, of the Springville High School FFA Chapter, attended the 198fi Washington Conference Program in our nation's capital. The week-long program helps FFA members improve leadership skills, develop an understanding of national heritage, and prepare for more effective leadership roles in their chapters and communities. Sessions on human relations, goal setting, ;and personal communications communicat-ions develop these skills. Personal outlook, motivation, and pride are also discussed. Visits to Mount Vernon, the SniUhonian Institution, Arlington NationaTCeTmrtery, the Jefferson Memorial and other historic sights in Washington were included in the conference. A highlight of the week was a visit to the office of Senator Jacob Gam of Salt Lake City. The FFA members also had an opportunity to visit both the House of Representatives and Senate chambers while Congress was in session. Their FFA advisors are Loren Phillips and Robert Brock. The trip to the conference was sponsored by Springville FFA and the girl's parents, and Don Phillips and Robert Palfreyman.

" if-' Folkf est will feature over 600 performers Springville will play host to one of the summer's major cultural events later this month. The first annual Springville World Folkfest, the largest event of its kind ever brought to the United States, will be held August 22-30 in an outdoor theater on the grounds of Springville High School. Special Folkfest performances are also scheduled for Provo and Salt Lake City. Participating in the Folkfest will be 600 dancers and musicians from 14 countries: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, Finland, Israel, Italy, New Zeland, Poland, Romania, Sweden, the U.S. and West Germany. "What makes this event so distinctive," says Folkfest Director George Frandsen, "is its autenticity. This is the only folk festival in the U.S. that will showcase the same genuine music and dance presented by native performers in their own countries." Frandsen adds that "all music will be live and played on traditional folk instruments." . The Folkfest's first of eight performances is scheduled for Symphony Hall in Salt Lake City August 22nd. Official opening ceremonies, a folk parade and gala performance will be held the next day in Springs "''e. In addition, a special "Ball of Nations" slated for BYU's Wilkinson Center August 26th will give people the chance to learn the dance they have seen performed. Closing ceremonies, a final performance and a candlelight parade to the Springville Art Museum will highlight the Folkfest's last day on August 30th. Ethnic foods and handicrafts will be on sale each night in Springville. Tickets for Folkfest performances can be purchased at the theatre box office in Springville located in the public safety building between the ambulance rooms and fire station. Tickets can be purchased every day except Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information call 489-6070. They are also available at any Datatix outlet where they can be put on a charge card.

They might, however, remember being caught in a large steel cylinder a culvert trap then sedated with a tranquilizer and fitted with a black collar and its attached radio. With the radios, BYU wildlife and range resources professor Jerran T. Flinders, his student assistant and Dr. Jordan C. Pederson of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resource's Central Regional Office in Springville are gathering new information about the secretive animals. "We want to know about their reproductive habits, what they eat, rode across the lower part of the Glacier back to the Timpooneke trail and back out to the Alpine Loop, up and over the top. They ended their adventure at Bridal Veil Falls, in Provo Canyon. Having ascended some 4,483 feet and decending some 6,000 feet, a total of 31.2 miles. The amazed hikers that they passed on the trail asked them if they were on drugs or if they were drinking.

Six of these mountains east of been caught and habits. where they den, where their home ranges are and what their movements are in relationship to people and livestock," says Flinders. BYU graduate student Dale Grafi' travels up Hobble Creek Canyon each morning with a radio receiver to the general area the bears inhabit. Though the distance is only a few miiles from Springville as a crow flies, the trip is at least an hour each way through steep terrain and rough roads. Graff's job is to pinpoint each bear, if possible, and to determine its movement from the day before. (Because the mountains often interfere with radio signals, every two weeks he flies over the area to gather his data). He also tries to find the area where a bear is located and record the size and construction of its "day beds," characterize the overall habitat, note what refuse is left, and take samples of the "scat," or stool, to determine the bears' diet. Until several weeks ago, the project also involved Dr. Pederson and his assistants checking four or more traps each day. But in mid-July, mid-July, the research group caught two bears in one day an extremely unusual occurrence and one that rounded out their study population. They closed the traps the next day. Bears are attracted to the traps by the odor emanating from fish stuffed into cloth sacks that are hung from a rope strung between two nearby trees. The traps themselves are baited with meat scraps or old bakery goods. If a bear ventures inside, he triggers a steel grate that slams shut behind him. Once caught, the bear is tranquilized, then removed from the trap to be weighed, measured and fitted with a collar that includes a $320 radio. Each bear also is tattooed on the lip so it can be identified should the radio be lost. Color-coded ear tags complete the identification. The bears the research team is following include an adult male, an adult female and her weaned two-year-old male cubs, a second adult female and her new cub or cubs (the researchers are anxious to know whether there are one or two), and a young female that has not yet - TUESDAY 489-3 CALL AHEAD FOR SPEEDY TAKE OUT Free Delivery in Springville & Mapleton FF ! $2. I a.m. to 11 p.m. Fri. & Sat. black bears have been found in the Springville and Mapleton and have tagged to assist in studying their reached reproductiive age. Four of the bears were followed last summer as well. An adult male that was followed last year was illegally killed during the hunting season for mule deer. The bears' movements can be followed so colsely that the researchers know the exact day all the bears began their winter hibernation it was Nov. 10. This spring, the researchers located the hibernation dens and studied them in great detail. The scientists havefound that the bears can move great distances in a short period of time. The sow that weaned her cubs this spring in particular is covering a lot of territory, Pederson says, perhaps in search of a mate. "We've had a bear move 10 miles in one night. One bear made a 10-mile 10-mile trip with her cubs three times last summer," he says. Because the bears are so secretive, and because following them is so labor-intensive, Flinders says it will never be possible to study more than a few at a time at the present budget level. For that reason, he and his colleagues are intensifying for each bear whatever data are available. He says the small number of bears studied makes it difficult to estimate the black bear population in the area being investigated. With the information being gathered, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and the U.S. Forest Service will be able to gauge how any given decision might affect the bears. They want to respect the bears' need for reasonable isolation and thus help maintain the population. "Bears clearly like seclusion, so with more information, government officials can more clearly predict the impact of land management proposals," says Flinders. "We hope that with proper planning, black bears can continue to be an important game animal and exciting resident of our mountains." The research is funded by BYU, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Uinta National Forest, the Utah Bowman's Association, the Utah Big Game Hound Association and others.
