Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, JUNE 14, 1979 By GARY R. BLODGETT HILL AFB A significant economic impact could be felt throughout northern Utah as a result of President Jimmy Carters decision to proceed with development of the MX missile system. PROBABLY THE largest impact will come at Hill Air Force Base and two Utah-base- d firms, Bacchus Works of Hercules, and Thiokol Corporations Western Division Plant.

East opening Canyon and Lost Creek Reservoirs probably enjoyed the greatest success of any waters in the northern region of the state. Many limits were reported by 7 a.m. on opening Davis County continues to burgeon with new construction, whether it be in the north, central or south portions. Even w ith the tight money supply, or perhaps because of it, every body seems intent on getting a house or business built in case the end comes tomorrow.

For each, tanning lotion is still important. Fair-skinne- The weather forecasters now tell us that their lives have become boring as the barometric high pressures begin settling into the intermountain area, bringing with them our wonderfully con- stant warm sunny summer weather. HOWEVER, ALONG with the predictable daily sun, summer also brings its seasonal change minor medical acute problems in which will plague many of us, especially those who dont plan ahead to prevent the en- vironment from interfering with their lives. Environmental influences such as sunburn, insect bites and bee stings, stepping on rusty nails, and minor cuts and bruises are all such summer nuisances. For those unprepared, each may mean an expensive trip to their family doctor, and less cash for their long anticipated vacation. ED PHELPS Ed Phelps Cant Get Enough Sports - A FRUIT HEIGHTS Fruit Heights man cant seem to get enough of sports. HE JUST keeps on doing it and winning most of the time along the way. Ed Phelps recently took three first place honors in swimming for senior men and women at the Deseret Gymnasium in Salt Lake City. He took it for the 100 yard and 50 yard freestyle other hand, a few preventive measures or appropriate home remedies may solve or prevent such annoyances. Sunburn is best handled by prevention. New suntan and sunscreen agents are readily available in all major markets. Some will allow the most avid sun buff to become brown with the red sign of ON THE and 50 yard backstroke. He year-olcompeted in the bracket and was the only Davis County contestant. In addition, he has taken gold medals in events including cross country skiing and finished second in the masters bracket of the national bicycle race held in Seattle. He has also taken many firsts in tennis competition over age 65 and said he has always kept active, tb 70-7- d over-cookin- EACH PERSON has basic skin pigment which allows gradual tanning based on heritage and exposure. Blond Nordic types require slow, gradual, protected exposure to avoid burning. Darker-skinne- d persons can tolerate longer exposures naturally. RHYME & REASON persons d start with sunscreens containing five to eight percent PABA, a very effective protective ingredient available in many new lotions. Others may start with simple oils such as coconut or baby oil which diffuse the suns rays and prevent some of the drying effects of excessive should exposure. PABA containing sunscreens effectively reduce the burning rays from reaching and damaging the skin, and may prevent the known high incidence of skin cancer which may happen even after a dark tan prevents simple burning. Many types and brands of PABA containing lotions have recently entered the market, some even formulated to stay on after swimming or other water exposure. The advantages to these long lasting lotions are obvious and especially as the need for reapplication is reduced (but not eliminated). Read the label or ask your pharmacist. e IF, HOWEVER, you are unfortunate enough to get sunburned unnecessarily, some treatments are available. Pain killing sprays or lotions with dibucaine, procaine or other topical anesthetics easily found at drugstores are helpful for very minor superficial burns. If blistering occurs more vigorous treatment is necessary. Here your family physician may prescribe a g cortisone or spray or cream which may reduce pain and inflammation from the burn. steroid-containin- IF SEVERE blistering occurs, very special precautions against infection and even hospitalization may be required to treat second and third degree burns, no different from that required for fire burns. Obviously, such burns are inexcusable if proper precautions are taken, and little sympathy should be provided to those not prudent enough to practice simple prevention.

And in the middle of the night to pray Perhaps, and only you will come to know So they, The deep harmonious tuning of life's strings That being in the middle always brings. By Mabel Jones Gabbotl THE SAME may be true for many insect bites. All of us will get bitten by mosquitoes this year. Some of us who use insect repellents will suffer less, especially when expected exposure is high. Some insect repellents are better than others. Look oils containing toluene for such as Cutters brand insect repellent. They are expensive by volume, but a little goes a long way, and the added protection is worth the extra cost. ONCE BITTEN, calamine or the anesthetic creams described for sunburn may prevent excessive itching and irritation. For those who are very sensitive, antihistamines are a must. Buy chlorpheniramine or other over the counter antihistamines and use as necessary up to the recommended maximum. If you know youre going to be bitten, use the antihistamine before exposure for best effect, but remember that the major side effect is drowsiness which may interfere with your ability to perform summer sports or aclotion tivities. Any adult or child wheezing or breathing problems after a bee sting should be rushed to the closest emergency room as severe problems can occur. suffering PEOPLE WITH known severe reactions to insect bites, especially bee stings, should travel with a special kit including epinephrine prescribed by their physician. An evaluation by an allergist may also be indicated. Stepping on rusty nails and similar incidents are also summer hazards. Generally simple soap and water cleansing is suitable treatment. But what about tetanus? The rules are simple. A booster age five and every ten years thereafter is normally highly protective. HOWEVER, IF a deep puncture injury occurs a booster is recommended if more than one year has lapsed since the last one. These are not emergencies but should be received within three days of the injury. There is no need to visit an emergency room. Be sure though to keep a close eye on the wound for redness, swelling, or increasing local pain. These are all signs of nontetanus infection which may require early institution of antibiotics. If seen by a physician within hours of the injury, not enough time will have elapsed to allow an appropriate decision cerning the likelihood of nificant infection. ONE TO two days con- sig- wait after adequate home care may eliminate the need to see a physician or allow your physician to make a more informed decision concerning necessary treatment. Any red streaking or severe swelling however, requires immediate attention by your physician. are Skin lacerations another common summer and probably the most difficult for a home decision concerning the need for special medical care. AGAIN, SIMPLE rules may be applied. Superficial skin cuts not on the face or other cosmetic areas which are less than two inches in length may be treated at home. Direct pressure on any cut should be immediately applied. Tourniquets and pressure points are out. If bleeding cant be stopped (usually because of not enough pressure) go to the local emergency room. If bleeding does stop within five minutes, analyze the cut. If it is straight and clean, determine if three or four butterfly bandages could hold it together. If so, the resultant scar may be less than that from stitches provided by the doctor, and much, much less expensive. MORE significant cuts or cuts on the face require physician involvement. Hand, wrist and foot cuts also require physician evaluation if the skin is clearly broken to ensure no damage to underlying ligaments or tendons. Enjoy the nice weather but take appropriate precautions. Be sure to include a first aid kit when packing for a camping or fishing trip. Common sense is your best ally in the continuing peaceful coexistence between you and the world we live in.

FISHING SUCCESS has picked up considerably at Bear Lake for Cutthroat since the Division of Wildlife Resources began egg collection and release of fingerling Cutthroat back into the lake. Many trout above one pound are now being caught because of the program, and the public seems to have caught on to the fact that Bear Lake is an excellent trout water. Pond is Farmington receiving extremely heavy fishing pressure and will continue to be stocked with about 500 Rainbow trout every two weeks through the summer. FISHERMEN are reminded that the daily bag limit for trout is eight for adults and four for juveniles ages 6 to 11. No more than eight trout may be kept in home freezers, trailers, cold storage lockers, or detached buildings per licensed fisherman. Farmington Creek will be stocked once each, on through the summer with 500 fish per plant.

Guy L. Hecker, special assistant for DR. CLARK B. RAMPTON Clark Rampton Earns Degree In ceremonies Clark 1979, June 7, Rampton, on B received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Southern California Dental School in Los Angeles. DR. RAMPTON is a graduate of Davis High School and a cum laude graduate of the University of Utah. He has spent the past four years in Los Angeles studying dentistry. Dr. Upon graduation, Rampton was given several special honors. He was the recipient of the American Asof Orthodontics special award for his interest and achievement in the complex, and is a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the National Dental Honor Fraternity. sociation CLARK IS the son of Dr. and Mrs. Jack A. Rampton, Kaysville. Following a brief visit in Utah, Dr. Rampton, his wife, son and daughter will return to Los Angeles where Dr. Rampton plans to further his studies in the specialty of orthodontics, a two year program at the University of Southern California, np AFB officials. Gen. Hecker explained that Congress has authorized $190 million in development funds for the missile program, and a 1980 bill being proposed contains an additional million appropriations. $670 THE GENERAL said that Utah and Arizona are prime areas for location of the shelters (firing pits). He noted that the silos would be spread out over 4,000 square miles. Plans are to build 200 missiles and rotate them between shelters spread out over the vast range. He explained that the missiles may be moved about on an underground railroad system. IT WOULD be somewhat shell game, designed to confuse the enemy on the exact location of the missiles, he said. The idea is to create more targets than the enemy could ever possibly attack, making it impractical for them t& even try. Gen. John J. Murphy, Ogden Air Logistics commander, recently confirmed that if Hill AFB is selected as the assembly site, the workforce would initially involve 800 to 1,000 workers. THE BOEING Plant, he said, could easily be adapted to handle assembly of the MX missile, the general - like the old said. Military officials also emphasized that manufacturing or storing the missiles in the silos will not pose any danger. Warheads would not be intact during assembly of the missiles. n the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources hatchery at Springville. THE WEBER River west of Highway 89 will receive two plants of 500 Rainbow trout, one in June and the other in July. These fish will come from the state hatchery at Midway, Utah. During the opening weekend Conservation Officer Allan Hash was assigned to work at East Canyon Reservoir to conduct license checks and creel census of fishermen using the reservoir. IT WAS most evident that many fishermen did not have a regard for littering. Almost without exception every group encountered had some sort of litter present such as cans, fish hook wrappers, candy wrappers, etc. Every bit of litter that is left by sportsmen becomes an eyesore and usually is left to accumulate unless someone cares enough to pick it up. Fishermen using the Weber River and Porcupine Reservoir are cautioned to remove all litter they leave and find. These two fishing areas are on the yerge of being closed to fishing by private if the litter situation land-owne- is not improved. EAST CANYON Reservoir is used by a large number of Davis County residents and this being the case, all users are urged to leave fishing areas cleaner than they find them. An active involvement on the part of all to clean litter up and report violations is needed in order to preserve open fishing privileges to anglers. k 'I 'I JEAN S. ANDERSON GARY W.
