Show ! Utah Stata P.0. Box 1327 Slt Canvas shows no changes in official vote count Pros Aasn, IrMo City, Utah CA110 No differences were found in the official canvas of the Primary election votes from the unofficial tally released last week by the office of County Clerk Earl L. Warner. The Juab County Commissioners made the official canvas on Monday and the results will be certified to the Secretary of State, who in turn conducts the state-wid- e canvas and certifies the nominations of the various state candidates for the November 2 general election. In other recent commission action, Juab County purchased an International dump truck from Richard M. Brough Truck Sales for the bid amount of $30,755.00 All Utahns should receive flu shots All Utahns beyond the age of 24 should protect themselves against the threat of swine flu this season, Mrs. LaVern W. Parmley, president of the Utah Lung Association recommended today. With most influenzas, persons in the 0 age group are are considered to be at low risk and are not ordinarily encouraged to ' get flu shots, she explained. The swine flu, however, is expected to be no respector of age and it is desirable for all adults to immunize against the threat, she said. Dr. Franklin K. Brough, executive director of the Lung Association, explained that Our major motivation is seeing that all adults are immunized this fall is to prevent many deaths and much suffering that usually occurs when the flu virus undergoes a major change. The shift in the influenza virus occurs at 8 or 12 year intervals, like the Asian Flu in 1957 and the Hong Kong Flu in 1968 and the swine flu in 1976, he said. This essentially creates a new virus that hs not been exposed to the population. Without this exposure, people have not developed immunity to it and the result is often an influenza pandemic. A pandemic is essentially a worldwide epidemic. The difference this season, he explained, is that the virus has been isolated early enough in its development so that for the first time we have a warning of a possible pandemic and have time to prepare for it. Dr. Brough noted that the most severe flu pandemic was recorded in 1918. The death toll was estimated at 20 million million of these in the worldwide, one-haUnited States alone. An unusual aspect of this pandemic was that deaths were most he said. evident in persons aged The Utah Lung Association had been organized only 2 years when this epidemic hit Utah. All its resources were diverted to meet the flu crisis. Many Christmas Seal nurses went from door to door to lend help and relieve suffering. The swine strain of virus, officially known as ANew Jersey virus, was isolated at Fort Dix, New Jersey. It is said to be similar to the 1918 flu virus. The Christmas Seal spokesman said earlier attempts to protect Americans against the Asian and Hong Kong Flu pandemics failed because the vaccine was either not available soon enough or because it went unused. In 1957, 60,000 deaths were attributed to the Asian Flu because the vaccine was not ready until after the epidemic had started. The Hong Kong Flu of 1968, where more than half the vaccine went unused, resulted in the deaths of 30,000 Americans, and an economic burden that totalled $3.9 bil25-4- Nephi, Juab County, Utah 84648, Thursday; September 23; 1976 City moves to open street in South East Nephi area Nephi City will move immediately to open a street from second south to third south on fifth east, according to a report on action taken by the City Council at their meeting held on Monday evening. The street will connect with third south, which from fourth east to fifth east, is now narrow. The City Council also agreed to check property in this area to determine if the street could be widened to standard width. No purchase of property will be necessary for the creation of the street, according to Evan A. Frampton, city recorder. The council shelved for future consideration a plan presented to them bv Dean Wheadon of Water and Waste Water Service and Supply to read the electric light and water meters and provide a photographic record of the readings. The costs would be approximately $720 per month for complete equipment or approximately $460 to $480 per month for providing equipment and processing the film. In other action by the council : The council invited the two engineers involved in surveying the Nephi Industrial Park to work closely together so that the work involved will not be duplicated ; The council hired Ludlow Engineering to do surveying for curb and gutter work on second north between main street and first west. The council discussed the revision of semi-monthl- y lf 20-4- lion. People over 60 and others at high risk will receive a bivalent vaccine containing both the ANew Jersey strain and the AVictor-i-a strain (or Hong Kong Flu variety). Other adults over 24 will receive a monovalent vaccine only, the ANew Jersey variety. Dr. Brough emphasized that no one need worry about contracting the flu by receiving the vaccine. It contains a killed virus, he said. Most people will have no side effects from the vaccine. However, tenderness at the site of the shot may occur and last for several days. Some people will also have fever, chills, headache, or muscle aches within the first 48 hours. People who are allergic to eggs are advised not to be immunized without the careful consideration and supervision of their physician, since the virus is grown in chick embryos. Utahns should understand that according to Public Health Service tests, at least 80 percent of the people who are vaccinated this fall can expect to be substantially protected for up to three years, Dr. Brough said. This is an excellent opportunity for us to practice a little prevention. Volume 67, Number 39 the Nephi City ordinances. Upon the motion of Councilman Leon Pexton, seconded by Councilman J. M. (Ike) Lunt, the council authorized the hiring of Randy McKnight to work with the city legal department on the revision of the ordinances. The salary set for McKnight was $4.00 per hour. e The council adopted by a vote, the personnel policy and job classification which had been prepared by Intergovernmental Personnel Agency of Utah. The studies have been going on for some time, and had been reviewed by the council. The council accepted the bid of Broad-hea- d 66 Distributors to provide diesel fuel to the city at 37.2 cents per gallon. They also accepted a bid from Chevron Oil to provide bulk regular gasoline at 41.3 cents per gallon and unleaded gasoline at 43.3 cents per gallon. The council accepted the bid on gas delivery for emergency vehicles from the pump from Haps 66 Service. The bid was for regular gasoline at 59.9 cents per gallon, for unleaded gasoline at 60.9 cents per gallon, and for premium gasoline at 62.9 cents per gallon. The bid was the only one submitted. Bids were opened on the furnishing of a lawn sweeper for the Nephi City park, two bids were received. Jenkins Sales & Service bid $878.00 and Boyd Martin Co. bid $2,465.00. After a brief discussion on the bids, the purchase was tabled until the next meeting. The council allowed adjustments on three water bills which were out of proportion to normal readings. Council members were advised of the public hearings to be held on September 29. One hearing concerns zoning rules changes and the other hearing concerns the erection of a 90-f-t. tower by Mountain Bell on its property at First East and Center Street. . to be enforced in school areas Optometrist opens office in Nephi Fridays Dr. Roland Kay Monson, optometrist of the Eye Clinic of Utah Valley, has announced the opening of an office in Nephi in connection with Anew Optical at 257 North Main.

And thats exactly what they mean according to Trooper Gary Taylor of the Utah Highway Patrol who points out that a radar check says that the speed limits are being ignored to a great extent by the motoring public. It appears that the greatest offenders may be those who are taking their children to school. We believe that a warning should be sufficient Taylor said, so if you get a ticket, dont say that you werent warned.
