This increased to 7,419 annual and 75,247 daily permits in 1969 or an increase of about 45. There is still some confusion by recreationists in distinguishing between the federal Golden Eagle Passport and the Utah State Park annual permit, according to Mr. Tippetts. Both allow the driver of a non commercial vehicle and his passengers to enter a park or recreation area and use most of the facilities. They are not interchangeable, how'ever. The Golden Eagel is for federal areas only, and the Fun Tag is for Utah State Park administered areas. Neither include extra services and facilities, such as cabin rental, hot water showers, golf fees, water or sewer connections at some campgrounds; but both do access to picnic areas, permit yearlong , campgrounds, visitor centers, museums, scenic drives, some historical sites; and the Utah Fun Tag annual permit includes boat launching at all stat administered recreation areas.

The annual MuscularDystro-ph- y Fund Drive is now in progress. the Muscular Dystroof America phy Association supports some 100 research projects throughout the world; the Institute for Muscle Disease where muscular dystrophy is under Intensive study; a nation wide network of clinics, and essential and direct services to patients and their families. Muscular Dystrophy will be conquered by the power of the microscope and the test tube. Progress has been slow, but it has been sure. With the Institute for Muscular Dystrophy and with hundreds of skilled physicians and researchers dedicating their lives to vanquishthe ing muscular dystrophy, rays of hope are getting over defective or inappropriate toy, or one handled without caution or supervision. Among the worst offenders hiding under the Christ mas tree are bows and arrows, missile -type toys with explosive caps, pellet, pop and blow guns, sling shots, darts and bean shooters. Richard W. Sonntag, M.D. president of the Society, cautions parents to make sure that one of your childs eyes or that of a playmate does not become the bulls eye of an archery game. When the rubber suction tip on the arrows point is removed or falls off, he says, play arrows can become as deadly as those of frontier days.
