Everything considered, the slowly but definitely brightening scenario should retied well on common stocks in this sector. During the seventies several adverse developments hin- dered the industry. Rubber products are heavily dependent upon petrochemical feedstocks. In fact, on an average, petrochemicals account for some 80 percent of the material used in constructing a tire. Hence, the precipitous surge in the price of raw materials, commencing with the Arab oil embargo and pushing on. placed a strain on makers profit margins. ties were outmoded and their removal has succeeded in enhancing levels of productiv ity. In addition to the expanding use of radials, other factors have altered the direction of rubber firms fortunes. Forex-amplGoodrich withdrew from the original equipment field to focus on the more TO COMPOUND matters, the squeeze was tightened further by the dramatically nature of the merchandising arenas. Overall, this was reflected in an unusually volatile consumption pattern for automotive tires from 1970 to 1980. Over the years tires have changed radically in terms of construction, quality levels, and costs. There have been huge capital expenditures by the producers to accommodate the innov ations in product design. Latest concentration has been on radials, which are now estimated to be on more than 80 percent of this year's new cars. Radials have gained swift popularity owing to their potential characteristics. g better-mileag- e THIS PRODUCT evolution however, produced a doublt dilemma for makers: They had to offset less lucrative replacement turnover, while at the same time many of their facilities were geared to other types of tire production. The problem has eased somew hat since 20 fabricating plants have gone out of existence in the past five years. Another bright side to replacement area. Others in the field have disposed of marginal operations or eliminated certain lines. THE LATTER is the case with Uniroyal which has curtailed output of medium and heavy duty radials. In addition, there is the steadily growing presence of overseas tire fabricators in the U.S. domes- tic market. Included are Michelin from France and Bridgestone from Japan In the past ten years Miche-lihas invested over $1 billion in plants (some in the U.S.) to better serve this market. The changes have been dramatic, and investors should be aware of the likely effects upon individual companies' financial results and growth potential. ALTHOUGH major labor contracts face renewal in 1982, concestemporary sions (pay cuts) will benefit producers for the near term. Also positive is the current refavorable lationship of world crude oil. The continuing advance in radial use, coupled with higher prices for replacement tires, also is promising. Note, too, that the growing application of temporary apare aids replacement demand potential. The Res search Department of Reports has concluded from recent studies that the industrys financial outlook is brightening and has been counseling clients to maintain commitments in most of the major rubber common stocks. n supply-deman- d Bab-son- in this held School I he theory is that cramps and pam are caused primarily because ot the presence of laiee amounts ot prostaglandin which the bodv manutac-tuie- s each month Thus, the and Home answer might be to take an to inti piostaglandin diug inhibit its mnnuluctuie.

Well, here's one for them. HIS NAME is Vance Anderson, and he lives in Ogden. He was a student at Ben Lomond High School that day. He was lifting weights at school because he wanted to set another record throwing the discus. Actually, some discus throwers laughed when they saw Vance step up to make his throw. You see. most discus throwers are big guys. Few of them can "throw their weight." That is. it's tough to sling the discus as many feet as they weigh in pounds. VANCE ANDERSON was a little guy. He weighed only 16 pounds, and that's why all the heavyweights chuckled. They stopped laughing, though, when he tossed the discus 140 feet. Vance wrestled too. In fact, he won the Ogden city championship. BUT BACK to the Ben Lomond High School w eight room. Vance Anderson was doing knee bends with 320 pounds of iron on his shoulders. From somew here, a little girl appeared. When she walked near the weightlifting area, someone warned her to move away. At just about that time, the bar on Vance's shoulder began to slip. VANCE HAD to do something quickly. He figured he had two alternatives. He could try to sit down w ith the w eight on his shoulders and work to control it. Or he could take the easiest route and run out from beneath the weights and let them fall. But that might endanger the little girl behind him. So Vance Anderson sat with the 320 pounds and it broke his back. IT PARALYZED him from the waist down, and doctors said he'd never walk. You don t tell a champion things like that. It's been a few years, now, and Vance Anderson walks with crutches and leg braces. He's married and the father of two. He s finished college and hes a psychiatric counselor. Sometimes schools invite Vance to speak to their students. If you kids don't get to hear him. tell them about Vance will you? There really are some heroes around. ried about the slings and arrows of every day, even if they got caught in a sudden downpour, theyd come out looking damp and lovely. I CAME across an old movie U.

Glamourous people weren't wor- magazine recently, from 1943 when Rita Hayworth and Hed-d- y Lamour and Joan CrawTord and Clark Gable and Gary Cooper and Cary Grant were very prominently displayed nearly everywhere. We were never told any of the grubby stones of their lives. The unfrocking process of the stars has left us no illusions; we have learned to distrust anything with polish. We wonder what is hidden underneath. In the days of the glamourous stars, we never knew there was an underneath. Oh, there were rumors someones brother occas-sionall- was in the Army where one of the stars was stationed and he never left the officer's club without having to be earned out and poured into his bed. That sort of thing, but we never really quite believed the rumors. After all, if they were that kind of person, wed know, wouldn't we?

Y ou have to be willing to accept it at surface value. After Watergate and the memoirs of everyone willing to trade their good reputations for money, and the tragedy of Manlyn Monroe, we have lost our innocence. We read the press releases and wonder what we're not being told. PERHAPS THE reason people were so taken with the spectacle of the royal wedding was the need to have some glamour returned into our lives. Rationally we know everything isnt sunshine and roses and devotion to duty even in those impossibly massive royal households. But we don't want to know. Maybe we do have a morbid curiosity about the unlovely side of their lives, but we so much want to believe that somewhere someone is able to live the happy ever after life, the unattainable lovely glamorous life. Glamour is impossible for those of us in the work-a-daworld. You cant be glossy and prespire, or let the wind and sprinklers catch you off guard. You cant wipe sticky faces or clean the oven or work overtime to meet deadlines without occassionally looking a wee bit frazzled. YOU DEFINITELY cant be glamorous and have even one pound of excess fat. Skinny is required for glamour. Also facial bone structure. To be glamourous, you really need to begin at least a generation in advance, so you can be sure of bones and inherited income and the right schools. ME READ about the jet set and the beautiful people, but instead of having them presented to us as glamorous, we read about them as slightly y with their values askew; parasites on the body social. From my mature, which means disillusioned, view- point, I know that what we accepted as glamour probably neverexisted. But oh, it was so lovely to look at and secure to idolize. WE DONT believe in our politicians. We know they wheel and deal and tell us what they think it is good for them to have us know. W'e don't believe in the very rich; we con- sider them of questionable moral worth. Our entertainment industry has marketed the scruffy. know I could never be glamorous. Even if I had the right age and the build, I haven't the time. One of the Gabor sister's husbands said he only saw the back of her sitting at her dressing table working on her face. I don't even have a dressing table and my face has to be taken at face value. I IT PROBABLY shows my age to even talk about anything as dated as glamour, and I hate to admit that a quality so essential to the stuff dreams are made of has become old fashioned. But who wants to work at being unkempt? That's what we see in pictures today and that's what I want to get away from. So let's hear it for glamour. It may not be popular, but it is certainly nice to look at. CHINESE GARDEN By TOM BUSSELBERG The population of the Swiss colony is getting old. THAT MAKES it ever harder to maintain projects such as the International Peace area, with its replica of alpine chalets and the Matterhorn all surrounded by flowers. We are the rule rather than the exception." Swiss consul Gottlieb L. Schneebeli says, however, noting each nationality is now responsible for the upkeep of its area at the gardens located just south of Jordan Park at about 950 S. 900 W. in Salt Lake City. In Fashion Jackets are in the news for fall. Blouses and shapely jackets replace the sporty layering look. The cardigan jacket is neat with the new dressier pants. School clothes for tots are designed for rugged wear. Colors, fabrics and styles aie blended for good looks quilted vests as well as vests with polyester fiberfill are deDra-ca- n signed for comfort and warmth.

THE CITY took care of it before but now with no funds available each nation is responsible for its own. We need people to come down regularly. One of the biggest problems. since there is no appreciable immigration, is that all colonies are getting very old." The younger generations-childr- en and grandehildren of immigrants, who were born in this country, are "Americanized" and often share little of their elders' enthusiasm, he says. In the case of the Swiss, there is a general renewal of interest just before the annual Aug. "Independence Day" celebration that includes music and dance at the Swiss garden. AT LEAST 400-50- 0 families of Swiss birth, or upwards of 2.000 people, are located in the state. Mr. Schneebeli believes. although the younger professionals who come to study here often stay only a year or two and are interested more in gaining their skills than sharing in the Swiss traditions). Appearance of the various gardens differs depending on interest although he had high praise for the Japanese Gardens, which, he says, have generally been "Fantastically beautiful" in the past. THE MOTIVATING force behind the Swiss gardens. created about 25 years ago. goes to former Sw iss Con sul Julius Billeter. he believes, with most interest in maintaining such gardens resting with those who. spent weeks and even years on the project, such as Mr. Billeter. The Peace Gardens were formulated shortly after World War II in an attempt to cement relations between the nationalities of Salt Lake by giving each a chance to show off a representation of itself. Dozens of nations have since joined in the effort although their portions vary from a small patch of flowers to highly specialized displays, including sculptures. SOME ENTHLSIASM is lost through what Mr. Schneebeli terms is "a lot of vandalism, such as occurred just before the Swiss Independence celebration, when a prankster sawed off the flag pole Luckily. city parkscrews were able to replace it before the celebration. The Swiss, for example, can influence point to an in the area ov er and abov e that visible at the Peace Gardens, with the small mountain nation's cheeses, chocolates and soups readily available at two delicatessens and at least one cheese store, for example. g A Hit a vouiti chorus have J mil In ji, J ion books and music, id ordings from Switzerland! can he obtained ihro1 u' he S.iics Consulate as we1! - material describing the n.o hi s industiial and group' . i banku't like oi . itects the most perhaps peo- ple t' oiigh local leaders of that descent, such as Gov.
