Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FAA to Launch New Service The Federal Aviation Agency will inaugurate a new service to general aviation on May 9, according to Senator Frank E. Moss, A foreign exchange teleD-Uta- h. phone system will be established in Logan to serve pilots and others in northern Utah. Senator Moss said that a Logan telephone number will be made available, on which toll free calls can be made to the FAA Flight Service Station in Salt Lake City. The new service will enable pilots and others to get quick and easy access to the FAA installations so that they can be given the latest weather briefing and so that flight plans can be filed or closed out, Senator Moss said. Presently, pilots flying out of Logan and other northern Utah airports must make a long distance telephone call to either the Flight Service Station in Malad, Idaho, or Salt Lake City to get and exchange infomration. Senator Moss noted that search and rescue operations should also be helped by installation of the new telephone service. Some 51,000 flights a year involve the Logan airport. The new service will provide high benefits to general aviation in Utah, Senator Moss noted. I am also told that the FAA plans to request a flight service facility for Logan on a full-tim- e . FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1967 Page Five The 'Lone Ranger' Fictional But Silver Bullets Were Real Regional Medical Program Gains Funds for Operation As western fans have known for years, the silver bullet is the trademark of the Lone Ranger. But while the masked rider may have been fictional, not so his famed ammunition. Long before the imaginary Lone Ranger left his mark on the young radio audiences of the land the silver bullet had become a legend attached to early settlers in southern Utah. Today a huge stone monument stands near the site of the Lincoln Mine, Utahs first lead mine, which produced an ore with a high silver content. The ore assayed as high as one half ounce of gold to the ton; 19 to 30 ounces of silver and 39 per 38 per cent lead. During the decades between 1858 and 1896, the Minersville settlers were believed in the east to be fighting Indians with silver bullets, molded from the enriched lead taken from the mine. The community historical records show that two girls, including a daughter of a hotel owner who served simultaneously as Minersvilles postmaster and as Mormon bishop, spent long days helping the settlers to mold the bullets. During the early days of the mining settlement, five separate bands of Indians, including the Utes and Paiutes, occupied the The Intermountain Regional which as part of the Medical Program (IRMP) is one process, are designed toplanning test the of the first four Regional Medi- feasibility of these and similar cal Programs in the United programs on a regional basis, States to be awarded funds to will initially include the followinitiate its operational phase, it ing cities and their surrounding has been announced.

Previous tribal land alignments were upset by the inflow of settlers a situation which continually kept the situation precarious. But the miners had a guns and butter policy even in those days, and the lead bullion not used as ammunition became a medium of exchange during the first 10 years of life in Minersville. In the early days of the mine, ore was hauled in wagons to the smelters in Salt Lake City, except for a small amount smelted for local use in a crude stone furnace on the Beaver River at Minersville. The Lincoln Mine gained in importance in 1880 when the Utah Central Railway ran its tracks into the area and began hauling greater quantities of ore to the Salt Lake City smelters. The mine continued operation until 1896 when the ore at the greater depths turned to sulphides and carried little value. An attempt by a Denver group to revive the mine in 1947 was abandoned. determine medical care needs in the Intermountain Region were initiated by the University of Utah College of Medicines Division of Postgraduate Medical Education in early 1965 shortly after the Presidents Commission on Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke issued its findings and report.

As with the current announcement of operational grants, the IRMP was one of the earliest such programs to be granted funds for planning activities, in August 1966. Through the initial pilot projects, the IRMP will develop, implement and evaluate new concepts of postgraduate medical and related health professional education within the categories of heart disease and cancer. A pilot project in stroke has been submitted for approval, and other such projects, particularly concerned with programs for training medical and health manpower are currently in preparation. The principal thrust of all IRMP pilot projects is educational, but only as it relates directly to the care of patients. By such activities, the Regional Program hopes to bring, more You By quickly and more effectively to practicing physicians and other and health care professionals through them, for their patients the latest advances in the treatment of heart disease, cancer, stroke and related diseases. Also, the Regional Program will provide some of the necessary training for the additive people required to fill the critical needs for health manpower in the Intermountain Region.

Other municipalities will be added as pilot projects become operational programs, he added. The Intermountain Regional Medical Program is one of the three regional programs involved in planning for the health needs of various sections of Ijhe Intermountain Region. Although their geographical areas reflect some overlapping of area, and interface with other regional program boundaries, each program shares an equal responsibility in the development of cooperative, coordinated approaches to the goals of, the national program against heart disease, cancer and stroke. According to Doctor Castle, this responsibility is being carried out objectively and constructively. Relationships characterized by cooperation and common purpose have been developed among the three regions; Doctor Castle stated, adding, Coordinators and staffs of all three Regional Medical the Programs in this area Mountain States Regional Medical Program, under the auspices of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, based at Boise, Idaho; the Regional Medical Program, based at the Colorado Medical Center in Denver; and the Intermountain Regional Medical Program are meeting frequently, and are developand directions ing methods which are contributory and complementary to one another. This exercise in interregional cooperation and communication should prove to be an example which other regions around the United States may want to Colo-rado-Wyom- ing follow. Research Division Checks Materials The Materials and Research Division of the Utah State Department of Highways is responsible for being guardian over the quality of materials that go into road and bridge construction. The Division is now established in a modern and efficient facility. The well equipped laboratory has over $500,000.00 worth of equipment for testing, quality control, and research.
