Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES Live Pony Prances On Stage at VMH Inflation Cuts Incomes of All; Digest Article Urges Protests Americans are experiencing the worst round of inflation since the years following the Korean War. The cost of living rose two per cent last year; and this year it has been rising, in spurts at a rate of nearly five percent. So writes James Daniel, a roving editor of the magazine, in a recent Readers Digest article, Why All This Inflation? This suggests readers calculate the cost to them of a five percent inflation and send it with the article to the White House as a protest against the administrations economic policy. A inflation is cut to a equivalent in everybodys gross income, writes Daniel. Any inflation even approaching this rate is a major assault on living standards. ... On top of the immediate increase in the price of necessities and luxuries alike, there is the value eaten away from all such fixed savings as insurance, bank accounts, government bonds, private pension rights and promised Social Security benefits. The money supply in the United States stands today at a record high of $318 billion, nine percent higher than a year ago and 47 per cent higher than at the end of 1960. This astonishing increase has been caused primarily by the fact, that the federal government has been consistently spending more than it has been taking in. . . . In this serious situation, advice to housewives to compare prices and buy as cheaply as they can borders on the absurd. The only way to stop this inflation is to reverse the administrations present policy and build a surplus in the federal budget. Most economists think that . . . a budget surplus of two or three billion dollars would halt the . price rise. five-perce- nt five-perce- nt ... Pvt. Frits Vande Merwe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dirk A. Merwe, 1267 Westminster Ave., completed a telephone switchboard operation course at the Army Southeastern Signal School at Fort Gordon, Ga., recently. During the eight week course he was trained to operate the complex central switchboards used by the Army. He also has learned the various communications systems, of the Army and was taught to operate manual telephone office sets. Caution: Be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear. Senator Sponsoring Bill to Create Manager Commission Sen. Wallace F. Bennett has joined as sponsor of a bill to establish a unique commission that may revolutionize (R-Uta- h) public The legislation would form a National Commission on Public Management, said the Senator, which would explore the pospolicy-makin- g. sibilities of using systems analysis and management techniques in solving public policy problems. He said the defense and aerospace industries have developed such techniques and have used them economically and effec- tively. It is conceivable that private industry could use the same sort of management problem-solvin- g methods with equal success in fields of social science and civil engineering to solve the increasingly complex problems of our urban society, he said. By employing private industrial staff members to do the analyzing and set up the techniques, the Commission would help prevent an unreasonable growth of the Federal government. The Utah Senator declared if this commission is formed, the results of its study could lead to dynamic new changes in handling such problems as water and air pollution, surface and air traffic congestion, the supply of safe and comfortable housing, law enforcement and crime prevention, education, and even the distribution of welfare benefits. Some of the areas the Commission would investigate include the role of small business and labor in applying the new management techniques; defining and categorizing social and economic problems which seem conducive to the systems approach; analyzing which techniques used by the aerospace industry can be applied to programs; and assessing what part universities might play in resolving public management problems and what might be the impact on curricula. Sen. Bennett reported that the proposed commission would consist of 13 members appointed by the President, all with experience in the subject matter to be studied, including government, business, labor and education. After one year of study, the commission would provide the President and Congress a preliminary report describing the problems, analyzing the applicability of new management techniques to these problems, and containing a plan for continued study for 18 more months, according to the Utahn. Eighteen months later, the commission would submit its final report, citing case examples and explicit plans for applying particular management technology to specific public problems. Included also would be recommendations for legislation, for federal executive action, and for state and local governmental action necessary to facilitate the application of these techniques, that two-and-a-half-y- ear non-defen- se Senator Bennett said.

The Music Man is a story about a con-artiwho sells an Iowa town on buying band country instruments and forming a band for its youth. The finale of the first act is the arrival of the instruments by way of the Wells Fargo wagon. The town of River City turns out to meet the vehicle and sings the famous song of Wells Fargo Wagon. The wagon is driven down the aisles and on stage by Dick Warren of the Ponies of America Club, with whose cooperation the pony is appearing. Ponies of America is a special breed of ponies. The show stars Utah native Art Lund as the Music Man and Maureen Bailey as his love and a host of other performers from Broadway and Hollywood. st Playground Program Ends This Week Salt Lake Countys summer playground program comes to a close August 12.

The major purpose of the meetings is to acquaint YD leaders from various states with campaign techniques and issues which will face candidates. Vitamin Foundation Says Many 'Nutritionally Below Average' A substantial number of AmerIn Syracuse, N.Y., 404 Junior icans from many walks of life High students were studied by are nutritionally below aver- Professor Marjorie V. Dibble of age, according to a broad array of scientific studies presented this week by the National Vitamin Foundation. In its third report on the nutritional status of Americans, the Foundation discusses the evidence of widespread nutritional inadequacies found in surveys of teenagers, the elderly, hospital patients, pregnant women, college students, elementary school children, various income groups and others. The Foundation, a nutrition research and education organization, supported some of the more recent and extensive surveys which investigated individual eating habits, measured blood amino acids, triglyceride and cholesterol levels, and evaluated blood levels of as many as 12 vitamins. One of these is an several-yea- r study of 2,045 teenagers in Iowa by Drs. Robert E. Hodges and Willard A. Krehl of the University of Iowa. It has discovered that a substantial number of the group have high cholesterol levels in their blood (perhaps increasing chances for heart disease in later life). A sizeable number have 'low blood levels of vitamin C, and a substantial minority skip breakfast and eat diets which cannot be considered on-goin- g, well-balance- d. Snacking and high calorie but low nutrient foods empty calories) were found to be common, but only one-ha- lf of one per cent of the children took vitamin supplements. Evaluation of this and similar surveys of elementary school children and industrial populations in Iowa is continuing, Dr. Hodges notes. Iowa was selected for the studies because of its stable population, abundance of food, and high socioeconomic level. The high normal and above cholesterol levels found in Iowa also appeared in 21.7 per cent of 401 Burlington, Vermont, 7th to 9th graders studied by Ellen H. Morse, Ph.D. of the University of Vermont. However, the chilsurdren in this vey also showed differences from the Iowa teenagers 96 per cent ate something for breakfast and 13 per cent took vitamin supplements on the day they were examined. The urinary thiamine was below acceptable levels in seven per cent of the boys and 12 per cent of the girls, while 31 per cent of the boys and 24 per cent of the girls had low blood ascorbic acid levels by Dr. Morses criteria.

Half the girl and one fourth of the boys were considered low in l, 15 per cent of both in C, and 27 per cent of the girls and 16 per cent of the boys in 2 (riboflavin). In one school, however, with 90 per cent of its enrollment from B-- B-- Negro families, as high as 60 per cent of the children were classified, by the low-inco- me fair criteria, as Bessey-Lowr- y or poor in vitamin C. The low urinary levels of the active form of folic acid found in many of these children with low blood vitamin C levels raises the possibility that inadequate C may also reduce the availability of this essential vitamin to the body. Findings also indicated that growth among the boys in the school was not as great as among boys in the other schools studied, according to Professor Dibble. low-inco- me Hercules Appoints Safety Manager The appointment of a new Safety Department Manager at Hercules Bacchus Works was announced this week by R.
