Furthermore, there were a number of negatives in the outlook for the pharmaceutical industry. price-earnin- THE DURING spring months of 1978, however, aided by the improved overall market atmosphere, the stocks of many of the foremost drug firms made from comebacks good levels. Since that time, their prices have remained firm. Important reasons for the better performance by the pharmaceutical issues: The realization that most of the minuses in the outlook for the had already been group largely discounted, the continuation of the earnings growth by just about every leading drug company, and the introduction of some promising newer products by selected pharmaceutical firms. INDUSTRY PROSPECTS Last year nearly all of the major drug companies experienced marked earnings improvement, and more of the same seems likely for 1978 as a whole. ALTHOUGH Q&mebsiGiz I Over the past year or so me stocks of most of the nation's leading pharmaceutical firms profit margins in the industry are not what they used to be, they remain quite high compared Aswith for most other industries. the longer range, growth prospects still appear to be favorable.

The cost of government regulation is rising faster than other areas of government spending and much more rapidly than the gross national product.

It is not a question of being for or against federal regulation, but the need is to identify sensible changes that can be made in the regulatory program so as to achieve the desirable goals with minimum adverse impact on other important goals such as providing more jobs and checking inflation," the Foundation says.

NEW PRODUCTS the lengthy Despite procedures and high costs that are required to bring new drug products to market, sixteen new items received approval from the Food and Drug Administration last year. PROBABLY THE most notable was Tagamet, an ulcer treatment that was marketed by SmithKline. As a result of this new product, the stock of SKL has had a sharp run-u- p in price this year. Earlier in 1978 Abbott Laboratories introduced two new items-a- n agent for dissolving blood clots and drug for the control of epilepsy. These brought favorable attention to the Abbott stock on the part of investors. Another new product-Captropril-- for reducing blood pressure caused many investors to eye the stock of Squibb with interest in recent months even though the product is not expected to add to company sales for some time.

IN ADDITION to the danger from the acid, the battery casing shatters and acts like pieces of shrapnel flying through the air. What can cause this? Bob Ingersoll, council director, said, A fully charged battery, or one being charged, generates hydrogen gas, which is highly explosive. IT TAKES as little as four percent hydrogen in air to form an explosive mixture. You can see that it is very to important prevent sparking near the cell caps where the hydrogen is usually present. Based upon actual cases, the following are some reasons why battery explosions occur: 1. CONNECTING or removing the terminal cables while the battery charger is in the "on position. Creating a spark in connecting the cable to the improper pole. 2. USING A match or other potential source of ignition for lighting the work. 3. 4.

INSTALLING a fully charged battery with some switches in the on position. The danger can be minimized by following certain procedures, Ingersoll stated. Make the booster cable connections on the charged battery first; this way, there will be no path to ground and no sparking. Make the last connection on the motor or frame, away from the discharged battery, instead of on the terminal which is grounded. REMEMBER, he added, treat a charged battery with respect, and avoid creating a spark or other source of ignition.

Over th e years I have thought many times about starting a campaign to set some qualifications for voters. Youd have to attend a couple of city council or county commission, or school board meetings.
