Tatrirk Tribune Medical Editor scribes with experiments horses which lead him to believe mat this vicious dee; se is caused by a cutoff of the bronchial arteries that supply the lungs with blood. Dr. Crenshaw conducted the studies in cooperation with a team from the Office of Naval new theory on the cause a disease of emphysema, marked by degeneration of air sacs in the A u n 1 r is s, advanced by Dr. Gerald L. a Crenshaw, chest surgeon o f Oakland, Research and the University o f California Veterinary School at Davis. Horses were selected because their bronchial trees are similar to man's, and they are the only creatures, except for man, that get emphysema spontaneously. Calif. In an article the latest issue of Medi-- c in World a de he News The writer points out that horses often ingest ergot, a that constricts substance blood vessels, by eating poorly cured hay or fodder. From smoking man gets another constricting agent, nicotine. After the horses had been tranquilized, the blood supply In the bronchial arteries was shut off, and the animals rapidly developed clinical emphysema. Dr. Crenshaw says this explains why surgeons find an amazing lack of blood in the lungs of patients being treated surgically for emphy- sema. Two studies in California have shown that even young people, who haven't smoked too many cigarettes for too long, cai. develop abnormal cell changes in the lungs, according to a report of the Los Angeles Times Service. It also has been found that blood of the smokers clots faster than normal and contains a higher level of fatty acids. A further finding is that the smokers showed higher heart rates and blood pressure dur- - i n g e x e rcise by fear, tenseness, heart palbreathing, heavy pitation, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, dizziness, numbness, trembling and faintness. Dr. Pitts says that although the mechansim is not clear, he believes anxiety naurotics may produce large amounts to of lactate in response adrenalin secretion. A metabolic defect aLo may be responsible, because the condition run in families. Dr. Pitts found that symptoms were markedly reduced used by health educators to motivate smokers to stop smoking. Writing in Scientific Ameri- than The studies were conducted at Fernando State College and tile University cf California at Santa Barbara. Student volunteers v.ere asked to cough deep - lung sputum into test can, a St. Louis psychiatrist, Dr. Ferris N. Pitts Jr., reports he has induced attacks of a.ixlety neurosis by injecting lactic acid, a normally substance in the produced rises in the blood which body with exercise. He believes this deopens up the possibility of veloping a drug treatment for neurosis, which attacks an estimated 10 million Americans. Anxiety neurosis is marked tubes, which was then studied Abnormal m i croscopically. lung cells suspected of being w'ere found in precancerous 14.3 percent of the smokers, but in or.iy four percent of the anxiety In both schools a secondary objective was to test ways in which the findings could be when calcium was added to the lactic acid. 0 Nutrition Survey I tic! tides I.L.

Educators are taxpayers too. But Utah is now at the crossroads. We must raise revenue or we must lower services and standards. In education, the services are already too low. In fact, they are rapidly becoming critical. These are not the emotions of teachers speaking. These are plain facts. mentary school classloads are particularly critical, since it is in these formative years that the basis of a child's learning must begin. If the rudiments are neglected, he is pushed on to the next grade, simply unprepared because a teacher has not the time to spend with the slow learner. Even a few extra minutes spent by the teacher each day could make the difference between, for instance, a poor reader and a child who can read well.

And it means that fewer good teachers are entering the profession. ratios Only three states have larger teacher-pupi- l than has Utah Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama.
