They believe that these devices have done little to clean up the air and have done much to decrease the fuel economy and performance of their cars This has prompted a significant number of car ow ners and mechanics to remove, or in some way defeat the emissions control devices. de- AOLLNTARA emissions testing clinics conducted by the Davis County Health Department have shown a high rate of tampering and misfuel-in(using letded gasoline in a car that should only use gasoline). According to Jerry Thompson. air quality specialist for g .1 the Davis County Health Dept., roughly 25 percent of the cars inspected by the department have had their emissions control systems tampered with, or have been This compares with a national estimate of 15 percent.

Allergies are the symptoms that result from a special kind of body immunity that is overreactive. There appears to be a defect in the bodies ability to tame dow n this normal otherwise healthy aspect of immunity. TO UNDERSTAND allergy one must understand that our bodies are constantly responding to foreign material, that is material that is not us. For example, this foreign material viruses, pollution, toxins, etc. It is the nature of our bodies immunity to recognize and to maintain what we are, and to render foreign and potentially harmful substances harmless, and where possible reject them from our bodies. This is a very complex system to which some physicians and scientists devote their entire professional lives to study. When the system works well, there are few problems. When there is an imblance in the system, the end result is often pol-hn- s, sickness of one sort or another. ONE OF the imbalances in the system results in allergy. With allergy, this finely tuned mechanism is out of alignment, e resulting in an response to foreign material by one of the specific arms of our immune system. There is a protein that our body makes that is called 1GE Antibody This protein is made in very small quantities. It is specifically made to recognize and to stick to various forms of foreign material. Within the group of these IGE antibodies, there are smaller goups of IGE antibodies specifically made over-reactiv- . for each specific foreign rial. hial tubes with increased secretions which may lead to asthma with difficulty breathing. There are may sites and many forms of allergic mate- FOR EXAMPLE, there is a small group of IGE antibodies made to stick to ragweed foreign material, and another group of IGE made to stick to sagebrush foreign material, and so on. These antibodies are very specific in what they stick to. An IGE antibody made to stick to ragweed will not stick to sagebrush. Once this IGE is made, it will usually bind to a branch of cells in our body that mediate an immune response. When a foreign material comes in contact with a matched IGE which is bound to one of these mediator cells, an immune reaction occurs, which may include swelling, itching or pain. IN A person with allergies, the amount of IGE is extremely small and the likelyhood of having contacts between foreign materials, mediator cells, and IGE is small, and hence the degree of allergic re- sponses is small. In allergic individuals the production of IGE is not the way it is supposed to be leading to large amounts of IGE, and hence a large degree of allergic responses. IN FUTURE articles on the subject of allergies in our children, we will find out who gets allergies, when do the allergies occur, what patterns they take as they manifest themselves, preventive measures, diagnosis and treatment.

For example, if the site of interaction is in the nose, then the symptoms may include a swollen, itchy and runny nose. If the site is in the bronchial tubes, then the symptoms may include swelling of the bronc- - 773-933- Fuel economy estimates compiled by the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association show a decline in average fleet mileage that began in the I940's and didnt stop until since emission control devices did not appear on cars until the late I960's. it is unlikely that they were a major factor in that decline. 1975. However, r IN FACT, the introduction of the catalvtic converter in 1975 coincides with the beginning of a rapid increase in fleet fuel economy 4 he decline was probably a product of manufacturer's efforts to meet a perceived consumer demand for larger and more powerful cars. Since the 1974 Arab Oil Embargo and subsequent increases in fuel prices, consumer desires have drastically changed. EPA mileage figures have now replaced cubic inch displacement as the consumer yardstick for buying a new car. and all of this has taken place as car emissions have come under more stringent control. i0$,. : '''' . .. y ,, " y.-- ( - IN THE first years of retro- fitted emission control vices. the performance de- of some cars was affected.

Leaving the Ogden valley area, the tour group stopped at the mouth of Ogden Canyon where Prof. Pashley. geologist from WSC, explained the soil slippage problems being encountered on the hillsides near the mouth of the canyon. The old Lake Bonneville sediment deposits at what is called the Provo level are easily eroded and subject to slippage when saturated with water.
