The medical profession is reserving judgment of the drug. According to Dr. Henry Crawand evaluation ford, chairman of the American anti-cance- Documentation of available evidence appears in the Pageant magazine. Experimentation with the anti cancer vaccine seems to corroborate the theory that cancer of all types is caused by a virus. Thus researchers reporting believe that the serum can provide resistance and immunization to the ravages of the disease within the human body. Currently 75 doctors in 35 Ohio hospitals are administering the Rand vaccine to more than 200 cancer victims in a broad scale investigation of the drugs effectiveness. At this time scientists do not claim that the vaccine can cure cancer, but sources have told Pageant of 12 specific case histories of remission or checking of the disease among terminal patients. Presently, however, the anti cancer vaccine is confined to use in Ohio. Before the drug can cross state lines to gain nation wide distribution, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration must have scientifically accurate evidence of the vaccines safety and effectiveness for recommended uses.

Dr. Ernest Moore, a Pennsylvania general practitioner who has himself taken the vaccine for cancer of the spine and liver recalls in the report that two weeks after injection of the vaccine most of his pain was gone. A month after discharge from the hospital, Dr. Moore was out playing golf. He told the editors that if the cases related to me by the doctors working with the drug can be confirmed, this drug shows remarkable promise. Current methods of treatment for cancer include surgery, radioactive substances and various drugs, chemicals and hormones. The American Cam cer Society reports that there are now 1,400,000 cured victims in the U.S. persons who have been without evidence of the disease for at leas tfive years after it was diagnosed. On a yearly basis some 47,000 people are saved with current methods of detection and treatment. x-ra- ys, Motorists Traveled Utah State Faces A new system of traffic detection has been developed by the Research Section of the Utah State Department of Highways. This new program will count and tabulate vehicles traveling the Interstate Highway System completely unnoticed. According to B. Dale Burning-ham- , Chief Research Engineer, these traffic detection units consist of three loops of wire, 6 feet square, covered with fiber glass and imbedded in the roadway as the concrete is being poured, usually located in each traffic lane between interchanges. This permanent system is electronic and is based upon the characteristic of a parallel tuned resonant circuit. A dependable operation is provided at all times since the buried loop is not affected by weather conditions and is not subject to damage by vehicles, snow plows or malicious acts. Normal road repairs can be made without removing these loops, any size of vehicle from motorcycle or tractor trailers moving over the loop are reliably detected. Many different methods of traffic detection have been used during the 30 year period of existence of the Research section; manual counting, electric eyes, pressure pads, magnetic detectors and pneumatic rubber road tubes. Each of the methods have particular drawbacks with the exception of the road tubes, which will be used to spot check traffic. The new loop detection is the ultimate answer for the traffic New Mexico of the WAC. On defense, Utah is on the U of U smal side, but very scrappy.

It is compatible with existing equipment and future maintenance costs will be negligible. It is important to keep constant and accurate traffic counts so that proper remedial action can be taken. Current traffic data provides the Highway Department with necessary information to establish priorities for highway improvements and aid in the design and location of new highways to provide the maximum road user benefits. an all American candidate. The other key men for the Utes defensively are Pat McKissack and Tom Hawkes and backs Jerry Pullman and Rich Tate. USU will counter the Utah running game with a devastating ground attack of its own led by tailbacks Eric Maughan, Lane and Altie Taylor and fullbacks Gerald Watson and Frank Nunn. Sophomore John Pappas is the quarterback who can pick up yardage in the air and on the ground.

James MacCrackes, director of Church World Service, Protestant overseas relief agency which is launching its 13th annual SOS (Share Our Substance) appeal of the churches, said: New developments forced on us by the crisis include stringent priority allocation of severely reduced quantities of U.S. surplus foods; maximim use of the available foods, leading to development of new food products, and intensified efforts to help increaise food production in the countries of hunger. The SOS appeal, to be observed in churches and communities in the nation during this Thanksgiving week, seeks $1 million for field and final distribution costs of food in programs carried on by churches through Church World Service in more than 40 countries. Surplus commodities, long the mainstay of overseas feeding programs of Church World Service and other voluntary agencies are now in seriously short supply. This has forced CWS, for the first time in its 20 year history, to establish strict priorities in favor of disaster victims, including famine, and refugees; those mos tvulnerable to disease, specifically, infants, young children and expectant and nursing mothers and persons engaged in food for work projects of community betterment, some of which may help food production. Recent food relief for Hurricane Inez victims in Haiti reveals priorities in action.

The Research section of the Department of Highways under Mr. Burninghams direction conducts studies and traffic counts that determine miles traveled, number of vehicles using Utahs highways and current traffic trends. This information is being analyzed and the traffic data is used to determine highway needs and designs. The cartographic branch of the Research Section produces county maps and some city maps that are available to the public. The primary function is to prepare highway condition maps, accident location maps, state traffic flow maps, bridge index maps and highway administrative system maps. The Special Studies Branch conduct research studies on the interstate travel, vehicle weight and characteristics, land use adjacent to interchanges, interstate accident research, economic impacts on traffic accidents and other pertinent data that help keep Utahs highways as modern and as efficient as possible. disaster, more than 100,000 lbs., was made immediately available to survivors. i ur MacNaughton gives you all three things that make a Canadian whisky great... 86.8 Proof 6 years of age Light, gentle taste.
