Show Sun Advocate, Price, Utah 18, 1972 Thursday, May -- Air Pollution Levels Receding Due to Low Emissions Devices People who yearn for the good old days when air pollution was not considered a problem may have their wishes fulfilled. Despite the growing number of cars on the road and the headlines about the air pollution problem, an en- couraging fact remains: Pollution from automobiles is at a lower level than a decade ago and is dropping each year. In fact, estimates the National Air Pollution Control Commission, by the end of this decade hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions will be at 1940 levels. Back then there was little need for concern over automotive air pollution. The reason for this decline is the pollution-combatti- ng mechanisms developed by the auto industry. Items like the positive crankcase ventilation system introduced in 1963 and the gasoline vapor burning system new on 1971 models have already achieved great reductions in pollution levels. Indicating the effective- ness of the new system, 84 polpercent of present-da- y lution from cars comes from older cars not equipped with the latest pollution devices. Today, total amount of pollutants from cars is about 78 million tons. By 1980, the annual figure will be about 25 million tons, approximatWar II levels. ing Maintenance Important While current and impenddevices ing will be chiefly responsible for the reduction, much of the improvement in cleaner air will continue to depend on conscientious maintenance. For example, a University of Michigan study reveals that at idle an average 55 tant. A clogged PCV valve can increase hydrocarbon emissions considerably. A dirty air cleaner can lead to a drastic Jump in carbon monoxide emissions by Un- balancing the correct fuel air mixture.

Film Vacation Travel Events Vacation trips are enjoyed many times over by thousands of American families who record events and sights on film. But for the thousands of memories that are preserved, probably as many are lost because of mistakes or simply because the camera was out of reach. Rule number one for the family that wants to record its vacation is never to pack away the camera.

Rule number two is have plenty of film, for the handy camera is worthless if the last picture taken was also the end of the film supply, and the nearest store is 20 miles away. These two basics will not automatically produce memorable photographs, but they will allow the photographer to be ready when the time comes. If a brand new camera is to be taken on the trip, expose a roll of film and look at it before leaving. Like any mechanical object, cameras are not always perfect when they leave the store. Its best to be sure the camera works properly before its too late. Film storage, especially in the heat of summer, is also an important consideration. You Know It's Right Never leave film where it will be exposed to the hot rays of the sun, such as on the cars dashboard, or in a place where heat can build up, such as a glove compartment.
