Economists are recommending, however, that the broad program be brought into sharper focus and that various efforts be coordinated to provide a "one-sto- p point of contact, lest its numerous components get in each others way arid check the momentum of the overall effort. The program, being directed by the Department of Communi-- ' ty and Economic Development, is seeking to attract tourist and convention visitors to the state, to bolster and expand existing Utah industries, and to build and attract new business enterprises to expand the states economy. "Many economists believe that efforts to build or attract new industries should be based on careful analysis of the natural advantages and disadvantages of the region under and then targeting industries that best fit consideration, the local situation. A recent study suggests that there is no such thing as an ideal business climate. Characteristics that attract some firms are the same characteristics that deter to contracts for goods and services, particulary those consumed by federal installations located in Utah.

Cholesterol and other fats build up in the inner lining of blood vessels like rust in water pipes. Over time, those vessels can become completely blocked. The narrowing of blood vessels, atherosclerosis, keeps oxygencarrying blood from getting to the heart. The result can be severe chest pain and eventually heart attack. By making prudent choices in the foods eaten, blood cholesterol levels usually can be controlled.

AHA guidelines call for inclusion of all the major food groups meats, fish, and poultry; fruits and vegetables; grains and cereals; dairy products; and fats and oils. The nutrition guidelines also recommend that ideal weight be maintained; fats be limited to not more than 30 percent of the total daily calories; adequate starch and fiber food be included in the diet; refined sugar and sodium be limited; and if alcohol is part of the diet, it be used in moderation. During the food festival, the heart association hopes to bring Utahns educational information that they will be able to use to enhance their own health and that of their families.

Not all cholesterol in the blood comes from the foods we eat. The body produces about 1,000 milligrams of cholesterol each day, and this is needed to produce certain hormones and to construct cells. The body also is able to filter out some of the cholesterol in the blood and eliminate it. Scones and Honey Butter her grandchildren. Provo hospital.

Ifthe thought of flying doesnt scare you, how about the thought of flying with a pilot whos addicted to cocaine? According to a series of articles by a Pittsburgh newspaper, drug addiction among airline pilots is not at all uncommon. The newspapers series was the result of a phone tip from a frustrated doctor. He told of a pilot whod been rushed to the hospital near death from an overdose of cocaine. A survey of the areas hospitals proved this was not an isolated incident. Upon further investigation, reporters learned that screening flight personnel for drug use was forbidden. And that the FAA medical exams didn't mandate blood and urine analyses so drug use couldn't be detected. They learned scores of pilots were receiving treatment for drug abuse. The newspapers story brought the problem to the attention of the public. The public was outraged. And demanded immediate reform. As a result, several reforms were initiated. Among them, the development of more extensive FAA medical exams.
