Number 16 Volume 47 Air Pollution Control Begins (Continued from Page One) As part of a long range comprehensive program of air pollution control, the committee adopted a staff plan to complete a statewide inventory of air pollution o sources. Information thus gained will show present npotential and will form the basis for development of rules and regulations aimed at statewide and regional controls. It will also provide a means of pinpointing a significant sources of pollution likely to influence the measurements of pollutants now being made by comonitoring procedures and already operative state-locunder expansion to provide broader monitoring coverage. In addition it will form the bases for any necessary control action. The Committee requested that the staff develop, in cooperation with th eweather bureau, and local agencies a clearing index system of identifying and predicting periods when meteorlogical conditions are favorable to rapid dispersal of pollutants discharged to the atmosphere. This is to be coupled with a voluntary system of controlled burning, as an interim procedure, to reduce adverse effects of industrial emissions not yet amenable to complete control. Local governments were given an opportunity to voluntarily control the obvious and unnecessary air pollution resulting from open burning at community dumps before regulations to be adopted by the committee make such action mandatory. It is high time action on air pollution gets under way. The boards moves are indeed encouraging. pol-luti- al Is Your B.P. Creeping? .Do you know that your blood pressure could be creeping up on you without your being aware of it? This could be happening, unless you have had a recent physical checkup. You? Utah Heart Association warns that the problem is not a matter of what you dont know wont hurt you. It is important to know that hypertension (the medical name for high blood pressure) can do serious damage to blood vessels, kidneys, and increase the s risk of developing coronary heart disease. The past 15 years has brought much progress in modifying the course of hypertension. The story can be told in statistics: between 1950 and 1902, the death rate from hypertension dropped 52 per cent among middle-age- d American men and women (ages ). One of the successful counterattacks on hypertension is the use of new pressure lowering drugs, but this is only a part of the attack on hypertension. Other measures to control blood pressure include: Reduction of qxcess weight, since overweight aggravates the condition and the risk of heart attack. Cessation of cigarette smoking, because smoking just one or two cigarettes raises the blood pressure in most people; also smoking is an added coronary risk factor. In suitable cases, reduction of salt intake in the diet, if your doctor prescribes it. You and your doctor can work together now to control your blood pressure and reduce your risk of having a heart attack. oOo pa-teie- THE SALT LAKE TIMES The following letters were recently answered by the Department of State: The enclosed resolution condemns the persecution by the Soviet Union of its 3,000,000 Jewish citizens. If protest in the strongest posible terms is made, there is evidence to believe that a great modern day tragedy can be averted. Unless the conscience of the world is aroused the Jews who reside in USSR are in danger of cultural and spiritual extinction. You are now urged to use the great powers of your office to appeal to the Soviet Government for a drastic change in its present policies. P.D.P. Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Mr. P.: The highest officials of the United States government have not hesitated to express their concern over the plight of the Jewish community in the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the U.S. government is limited in its own ability to improve the lot of the Soviet Jews. Government to government approaches in the past have been brushed aside by the claims that there is no in the USSR and that by raising the subject, we are attempting to interfere in internal affairs of the Soviet Union.Such an exchange of views has no positive effect on the lives of the Soviet Jews whom we wish to help. While official actions by the United States Government can be publicly dismissed by Soviet authorities as cold war propaganda, the expressions of con anti-Semitis- m Whistling Swans Hunting Announced Whistling swans will again be hunted by 1,000 waterfowl enthusiasts as Utah was granted permission to issue 1,000 whistling swan permits for the 1967 waterfowl season, making this the fifth year this hunt has been held on Utah marshlands. Applications for the cost free permits must be made in person at one of the Fish and Game offices and each application must include a valid small game or combination license and a federal migratory hunting stamp or cern by millions of private individuals are more difficult to ignore.
