The report is contained in the eighth annual "Environmental "En-vironmental Quality Index " (EQI). Of the seven environmental environmen-tal yardsticks-air, forests, water quality, wildlife, living space, soil and minerals-quality in air forests were the only areas showing slight improvement over the 1975 index. Both categories were classified as "up a little" by the Federation. Air quality was up for the second consecutive year and has shown steady improvement im-provement in some parts of the country. However, experts ex-perts are just beginning to grasp the complexity of the overall pollution problem. The 1976 index research showed particulate matter in the air is decreasing at a five percent rate each year; 90 percent of the nation's CUPID TRIK ,s'! Marten Jarosz and Bruce Patrono were married at the C'est Bon Hotel on Valentine's Day. mnas II Ml stationary sources of air pollution was either within emission limits or on schedules leading to compliance; com-pliance; and the number of people exposed to hazardous air was greatly reduced. The study also revealed that urban ur-ban pollution is spreading to rural areas. Forest quality also showed a slight improvement in 1976. Demand for timber was down, apparently due to the building recession. New timber growth on public and private lands continues to show a steady gain. NWF reported that trees from commercial forests are being consumed at 500,000 acres each year for urban sprawl, vacation homes, agricultural uses and other purposes. More debate is developing on using public forests for recreation, wildlife and grazing, as well as timber production. EQI studies indicated that economic pressure will continue con-tinue to affect major policy decisions on public forest land, but tighter governmental governmen-tal controls and less clear-cutting clear-cutting appear on the horizon. Further lawsuits will probably focus more on the protection of critical wildlife rather than timbering tim-bering practices, according to NWF. Water qulaity was down again in the EQI. While 90 percent of the industrial polluters will meet the Clean Water Act goals of 1977, only half of the municipalities will reach them. The index reported that the Environmental Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) lagged in awarding $7.3 billion for sewage treatment construction projects that could help eliminate sewage from waterways. Some 65 toxic wastes from industrial plants plan-ts in 1976 were brought under EPA regulation. Wildlife quality was classified as "down a little" in the 1976 EQI. Wildlife still faces the problem of habitat loss. There are now 170 animals officially classified as endangered in the United States, and 1,700 plants are in the process of being added to the government's list. Pesticide load reductions contributed in some areas to increased breeding populations of bald eagles, pelicans and ospreys. Steps are being taken to remedy the inequities of federal land given in mitigation of habitat lost to channelization, dams and other United States construction con-struction projects. Living space was down. Important stretches of rural America, according to NWF, continue to be lost to haphazard development because of no strong governmental gover-nmental land use planning controls. More than one million acres of rural land were consumed in 1976 by development, with urban expansion spreading over more than 750,000 acres. Road building projects have been consuming more than 100,000 acres of rural land ?ach year; but, because of a Ml jWT lill'nllillll The Sirloin Saloon will feature the Rhed Butts Review Wednesday, Feb. 16 at 10 p.m. Singer Tom Distad will appear at the Claimjumper's Down Under club on Feb. 17, 18, 19 and Feb. 24, 25, 26. Again 1976 congressional act. states can now use federal funds to repair existing roadways for the first time. Also, the nation's birthrate was at its lowest. The population, however, was up by 2.5 million; and those people will eventually demand living space. Soil quality was also down. The EQI reported that wind and water erode away approximately ap-proximately 3.5 to 4 billion tons of topsoil each year and that only half of the nation's cropland is adequately-treated adequately-treated to prevent erosion. The United States has 111 million acres that could be converted to food production and only 24 million acres of prime farmland in reserve. Approximately 287 million acres are now being farmed. Mineral production was down, but usage was up. For the first time in the United States, more petroleum was imported in one week during 1976 than was produced. Petroleum imports are expected ex-pected to increase from 41 percent currently to 60 percent per-cent by 1980. The EQI slipped to 347 points (on a scale of 700) in 1976. three points below the 1975 index and 48 points below the first EQI in 1969. The EQI regarded as a useful and authoritative indicator in-dicator by many governmental govern-mental agencies as well as conservation groups, is based in part on statistics and partly on informed subjective sub-jective judgments by NWF experts, who consult with government industrial and academic researchers.

Ml 'Iffy ' ' JT . .' Ik. m. ihini by ll U r H TT If it hasn't already, something soon may just replace religion as the opiate of the proletariat. It's known as television, TV, the tube, in some living rooms the boob tube and in others the idiot box. And, like I said, if it hasn't already, when it indeed does take over the top of the drug list, we're in trouble, the capital T kind, and not only right here in Park City. Ever turn down evening invitations because your favorite soapy, (they all these days seem like so much soap) Series happened to air that night at eight or nine? Roots a couple weeks ago stands perhaps as the most perfect example of tube-inspired tube-inspired RSVP declines. And look at real soap soaps. Hard enough it is to believe anyone ever watches them, much less that some live for thier favorite modern tragedies, actually breath and speak these abortion, divorce and incest laden half to an hour bleak portraits, even anxiously await the fate of these pathetic portrayals. It's dope. It numbs. Your own life, we should hope, has to seem better Opium seeks the same effect. Okay, TV junkies, one cure could be on TV itself. it-self. It's just a few dials away on channel 7, KUED. Like methdone, it's an alternative drug, much more healthy and controllable.
