The United Nations has machinery set up for this, but it hasn't always worked by any means, partially at least because some nations refused to give it a chance. Too often nations resort to the a regrettable pattern battlefield which has seen dozens of small and large wars since World War I, the war that was supposed to end all will be Law Day USA. This is an annual observance set aside by presidential, guber- natorial and mayoral proclamation for the rededication to the ideals of equality and justice under law ... and to express appreciation for our American liberties. Fostered by the legal profession, the observance is being promoted in Utah by the Utah State Bar Association. The purpose is to honor the role of law in America and its affect on the lives of the people. The observance is especially intended to emphasize the need for cooperative effort in improving 1 j sponsoring numerous Law Day events in various parts of the state. While none of these activities has been announced for Utah County, the people here certainly are encouraged to be mindful of Law Day and to extend appreciation in their own way for a system of justice under law. . they had worked so hard to map had completely changed," says Dr. Hal Masursky of the survey's Center of Astrology in Flagstaff, Ariz. "We have a completely new planet to contend with. Just keeping up with each day's new influx of information is keeping many of us working around the clock." The U.S. Geological Survey is suffering from an embarrassment of a bewildering flood of riches spectacular photographs of the planet Mars being returned by the Mariner 9 spacecraft in orbit around the red planet. lf tivities. According to the best estimates, the Soviet Union spends about 2 per cent of a GNP half as large. This means that dollar for dollar or ruble for ruble, the Sovie Union spends twice as much on space as does the United States. Despite this fact, there is little evidence of grumbling among Russians that these billions might better be devoted to pressing domestic problems. Lest you jump to the conclusion that this is because Soviet citizens have little to say in the running of their country, be advised that the reason is quite otherwise. Asked to explain it, Dr. Boris N. Petrov, director of the Soviet Academy's Intercosmos Branch, the Soviet NASA, offered: "Probably that is connected with the fact that many social problems in the Soviet Union are already solved or are being successfully solved." Having achieved paradise on earth, or almost, can the Russians be blamed for reaching to the heavens? it fix r-- m - v The first step in this super long-rang- e mapping job consists of plotting the locations of each small photograph on a specially prepared grid. Since the altitude of Mariner changes, continuously as it circles Mars, the area covered by each photograph also changes. Thus complicated and distorted bases prepared ahead of time by scientists must be used. Even so, a certain amount of "stretching and pushing" is necessary to make the pictures fit into preliminary mosiacs. After the preliminary plots are made, a computer transforms each picture so that it has the same scale and perspective as its neighbors. They are then fitted together in a much more precise jugsaw puzzle on which geologic and topographic information can be depicted. Knowledge of the "ups and downs" of the Martian landscape is extremely important for the selection of landing sites "for the unmanned Viking spacecraft, which is scheduled to be sent to Mars in 1976. a complete The final product 35 million is which map of a planet, miles from earth at its closest apwill be ready in time for proach the landing of Viking in 1976. An atlas of Mars maps will eventually be published and made available to the general public. It is all a little hard to believe. v. Speaking of marriage, It has been said that no married couple can fool their teenage children. So with that in mind, some guy went out and surveyed 3,500 teenagers concerning their parents marriage. Here is what the pool revealed; less than half of the teenagers polled want marriages like their folks. More than 50 percent of them seem to think their parents aren't making it. Now is that dismal news or not? The ether dty I asked Double N how much she weighed and let me tell you. 'hat's one question IH never ask again.

By CARLTON SMITH The lines at the tellers' windows seem to keep getting longer and slower. Customers' tempers, in proportion, appear to be getting shorter. We heard a g prosperous-lookincustomer lose his cool recently and loudly inform a bank officer that, if they couldn't get another window or two open and get the line moving, he was going to take his account elsewhere. (Another window was opened.) That's one way to deal with the problem. Bank customers are turning in increasing numbers to another solution: the mails. They simply never go near the place. What some bankers refer to as "phantom banking" now covers nearly the whole range of services in many commercial banks the e banks" to the extent that thousands of customers are never seen inside the bank as people from one end of the year to the other. A Chicago bank, Harris Trust, recently discovered that one customer they had "known" for many years, an architect, hadnt though passed through the door in 30 years his office is only a short walk away, Highland Falls, N.Y., has a population of less than 5,000, but the Marine Midland Bank there has a staff of 12 assigned to handle incoming mail. Not quite a typical case, this. The bank stands just outside the front gate of the military academy at West Point. Cadets who opened, accounts there years ago now bank by maj from well, a recent morning ' "full-servic- mail included postmarks from Greenland, Kashmir, Australia, Kenya and Beanacre, England. How customers are turning to "phantom mail tally banking" is indicated by the made recently by Merchants National in Aurora, 111., population 74,000. More than most of them 3,000 mail deposits poured in local, of course. Most banks have now geared up to handle the increased volume of "phantoms," and for just about any bank service except trips to the vault, you can save shoe leather and avoid standing in line by letting the postman do the walking. Many banks, for instance, now use a loan application. They'll mail you the form when you want to finance a car or need a home improvement or personal loan. You fill it out, score yourself on credit rating according to a key on the form and mail it back. Many borrowers get their checks by mail without ever having been inside the bank. It's no secret that established customers ' get favored treatment, of course , and that can be another plus for banking by mail. One salesman who's been on the move for years has always kept his account at the same bank, Security Pacific National in Los Angeles. He recently wrote from Athens, Greece, about a discrepancy in his checking account. Beats having to argue with somebody in let's see, 37 cents comes to Greek about bow many drachmas? 21-d- you?

So you about it? cats will outnumber humans unless we adopt some sensible population control measures for both them and us. Homeless animals will live out their miserable lives scavenging alleys until they die of starvation or in a public execution chamber or in a research laboratory. And cruelty to animals remains a blind spot for most Americans. We'd see and object to it on television, but we allow it in real life. Because in real life the dying is usually sufficiently distant so that we can't hear the crying. We would not stand for anybody brutalizing an animal on the movie screen. Yet we ignore the prevalent use of painful traps for foxes and agonizing poisons for coyotes and the torture of pets in purposeless "medical" experiments. I used to hunt but I don't any more. I still have an arsenal of fancy guns, but I've no interest in killing anything any more. I am willing to accept the fact .that others do not feel as I do about hunting. I've heard it justified by those who say we must "harvest" the crop of wild game or, overpopulated, it'll starve. But those justifiers never appear to seek out and eliminate the starving critters they talk about; they're always out after the biggest, healthiest, handsomest trophy they can find. And let's forget the phony virility of "matching wits" with a hunted animal. The animal has the mental capacity of a human infant. For the hunter to contend it's a match of wits says something about himself that I don't think he'd want to admit. And when we outlaw bullfights while abusing dogs and cats, it seems to me we ought to at least have to pick on something our own size. Purposely I'm not delineating graphic examples of torture. I shy from those mental pictures, too. But much as we'd like to hide our eyes and stuff our ears at the mention of dog-fcoats, we must not. These ghoulish suggestions have a way of becoming reality unless you last summer. We especially react.

Important Dear Dr. Lamb What is your answer to the many thousands of people suffering from muscle injury, like the young boy you wrote about who was hurt with judo? I had a similar problem for years and, after seeing many doctors without results, went to see a remedial massage therapist with training in Denmark. My muscles were in spasm from the base of the skull to the base of my spinal column. As treatment progressed, there was slow but evident relief. In time, it became evident that my main problem was a great deal of nervous ten- sion associated with my occupation. More than I had possibly realized. Then I was also hurt later with judo.

I am not suggesting you take a stand politically, but simply state your views on the practical efficiency of remedial Do you disagree with the European medical profession in their cooperative use of this type of therapy? Dear Reader The medical profession can and dr?s use massage, heat, traction and most every aspect of muscle therapy that is useful for the body. In the United States, this is organized in conjunction with, or under the supervision of, a physician who is a specialist in physical medicine. The individuals who give the massage and provide this type of care are called physiotherapists. In one sense, you can regard them as assistants or technicians to the specialist in physical d medicine. They are in the art of muscle massage and muscle therapy. Physiotherapy departments, with their hydrother apy and other devices, are very important in medicine and are used in treatment of muscle injuries and at one time, when polio was common, they helped rehabilitate polio victims. There is an advantage to receiving your muscle therapy from a physiotherapist under the supervision of a specialist in physical medicine, because it decreases the likelihood that the patient will have some other medical problem that needs attention. Some individuals with muscle pain ha.e serious illnesses that require other forms of treatment, for example rheumatoid arthritis. Others occur repeatedly because of poor dietary habits. Still others are associated with skeletal abnormalities, like the individual who has one short leg. Correction of they, problems is essential to solving the muscle difficulties. I see no reason why a physician shouldn't refer his patients to a remedial massage therapist for specific treatment if he chooses to do so.
