A stocky-bui- lt with sandy blond began making sexual advances.

Cecil Sorenson, said Kathleen OMara, an 18 year-ol- d University of Utah student was kidnapped in the Best Western Motel parking lot, 60 North State, about 6:30 a.m. July 3 by a male assailant. Sorenson said friends of OMaras who were en route to St. George, left her off at the parking lot where she was to meet Paul Pacheco, a University of Utah student working on an archaeology dig in the Gooseberry area of Fishlake National Forest. Shortly afterward, a man approached her from behind, grabbed both of her arms and forced her into a car, said Sorenson. The assailant then drove both of them up Salina Canyon, turned on to Gooseberry road and OMara in a later voluntary statement, said at that time, she struck her assailant in the face, then got out of the car and escaped behind some trees. The man' apparently got scared and left, she stated. OMara then walked to a ranger station and was later brought to the Richfield Police station. The victim described the assailant as wearing a plaid flannel shirt, had on blue levies and had hair about to the shirt collar. He also had a beard of about three days from not shaving, was a smoker and had alcohol on his breath. She told officers the car was probably a Dodge Colt. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriffs office, said Sorenson. Gty Council Recreates Betterment Committee grounds for the rodeo.

Carol Christensen Carol C. Is Mystery Woman Christensen of Redmond was our mystery person for last week. Many people did not know that her son, Doug, is a staff writer for the Deseret News in Salt Lake City. A few did, including our winner, Susan Christensen, Carols and Shermans daughter. Carol Susan has won a free dinner at Shaheens Best Western The project is part of a nationwide effort to recruit a million healthy Americans and follow their progress for six years. The $12 million effort is to find out what gives some people cancer and what protects others from the disease. The giant project, the biggest cancer study in history, will begin in September, North Sevier Cancer Society officials said. Local volunteers involved in getting the project started Inez Criswell, Salina First Ward; Ann Burr, Salina Second Ward; Helen Learning, Salina Third Ward; Dorothy Fowles, Salina Sourth Ward; Dene Gull, Aurora First Ward; Gayle Johnson, Aurora Second Ward, and Jenett Hales, Redmond Ward. As people in the national study die, their death records will be obtained and factors leading to death will be checked against 500 bits of information each study subject put on a questionnaire at the time enrolled. Well be probing for clues about possible cancer prevention elements in our lifestyles, as well as for clues about potential cuases of disease, said Robert V.P. Hutter, the societys president. It could turn out that some of our habits actually help us to avoid getting cancer, Hutter said. the foods we eat. For example, Each of 85,000 volunteer researchers will ask about 10 families to complete detailed questionnaires. The volunteers will keep trade of the study families at least until 1988. Firemen Contain 1,500 Acre Blaze By Loren Webb Approximately 1500 acres of Bureau of Land Management lands were burned east of Salina, after a fire picked up by winds at Salina dump went onto public lands ternoon. Friday af- Terri Yeckley, public information specialist, BLM, said the Black Cap fire burned mostly sagebrush, pinion and juniper trees, but did no damage to anything else. She added the BLM was contacted about 2 p.m. concerning the fire. Thirty-fiv- e BLM, U.S. fire fighters from the Forest Service and Salina Fire Department, along with Rodney Rasmussen Construction Co., assisted in containing and finally putting the fire out Tuesday. She said the construction company was hired by BLM to run a grader around the fire as a fire break. The fire was contained Sunday and finally put out Tuesday. Participants must be at least 30 and belong to a household in which at least one member is past age 45. Special efforts will be made to enroll people now in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. The ACS said the researchers will check with enrollees again in 1984, 1986, and 1988, and obtain official death records of those who have died, in an attempt to determine: -- The effects of long-terexposure radiation from sources such as color television sets and word processors or video display terminals. m to low-lev- el -- Health effects associated with air and water pollution. -- The possible interplay of multiple g substances, which might not independently cause cancer. cancer-causin- -- Risks associated with nutrition, drugs, and various occupational ex- posures. -- The possibility of increased vulnerability to cancer in certain racial, religious, geographic, or genetic groups. As the mortality records accumulate over the six years, various suspected relationships will be checked by comparing the relative frequency of death, by category, to answers in the questionnaires.
