At present, approximately 85 percent of Utah's doctors are covered by a group insurance policy issued through the Utah State Medical Association. Most of the remaining 15 percent carry medical liability insurance with several other insurance companies. Less than six years ago national figures show that only one out of every 23 phys:cians was faced with a medical malpractice lawsuit. So far in 1975, one out of every six physicians has been confronted with such a lawsuit. "The public has gone lawsuit happy, the legal counsel for the Utah State Medical Association told a recent meeting of the House of organization's Delegates. This tremendous increase in the number of patients who are bringing legal action against their doctors, combined with what many per be sons to consider unreasonable amounts of money being awarded by juries in some cases, has caused or may soon cause the cost of malpractice insurance for doctors to rise as much as 300 to 400 percent. adequately deal with the One Utah obstetrician, of the legal aspects practicing in a semi-rura- l problem," Dr. McQuarrie area, had his malpractice said. insurance premiums raised "In addition, we will last May from $3,500 a year to some legislative propose the same a At $11,200 year. time, the average insurance changes to enable the to profession rate for a Utah family medical doctor went from $1,700 a better police itself.

Salt In his keynote address to of thousands Japanese members of the Church gathered in an area conference in the Budokan Complex in Tokyo, President Kimball said the new temple will serve some 64,000 church members in Asia, including approximately 25,000 in Japan, 15,500 in the Philippines, and 8,700 in Korea, 8,500 in Taiwan and 4,100 in Hong Kong. The Tokyo temple will be built on property acquired by the Church more than 15 years ago. Offices of the Tokyo Japan Mission now occupy Minami the site at Azabu, in the Minato-Ksection of Tokyo, opposite the u Arisugawa Park. The property covers 18,000 square feet, or slightly less than one-hal- f acre, and present structures on the Temple site will be razed. Working drawings will be completed in early 1976, and construction will begin in the first half of next year and take 18 months to 2 years to complete. The temple will have one basement level and four levels above ground, reaching to a height of 184 feet. There will be an elevator and stairway towers on two sides of the temple. The new Mormon temple will be completely and is designed to meet rigid Tokyo building for codes earthquake protection and will be of reinforced concrete and steel, faced with fine white stone. The principal feature of the basement level of the temple is a baptismal font, mounted upon the figures of 12 oxen, as was the font in the ancient temple of Solomon. The temple grounds, although necessarily restricted in size, will be beautifully landscaped in the delicate Japanese tradition, with wrought iron fencing to permit passershy to view the garden. A decisive factor in the choice of the temple site was its easy access to Tokyos mass transit system. The Hiroo station on the Hibiya subway line, a part of Tokyos subway system, is but a five min jte walk from the temple. Also, a municipal bus line stops in front of the temple site. In February this year, Kimball an President nounced plans to build the temple in Sao Paulo, Rrazil. In April he re dedicated the Mesa, Arizona temple, which had undergone extensive and renovations last November he dedicated the D.C. new Washington, Temple. He will rededicate the St. George, Utah temple Nov. 1975, after it has 11-1- extensive undergone renovations. Other Mormon temples are near Tuhikaramea, Hamilton, New Zealand; Lingfield, Surrey, near in London, England; Cardston, and Alberta, Canada; Zollikofen, Bern, Swit zerland; and in the United States there are 10 temples, located in Laie, Oahu, Hawaii; Los Angeles and Oakland, Calif.; Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Salt Lake City, Logan, Manti, Ogden and Provo, Utah. limited number of vacancies now available for training in the following ob skills.
