Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1969 Moss Joins Bill To Improve Dental And Medical Training Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah has joined a effort to avoid a disaster type financial crisis in many of the nations medical and dental schools. He will a bill introduced by Senator Jacob Jav-it- s aimed at offsetting the sharp cutbacks in the federal funding of these schools. The bill is supported by the American Medical bi-parti- co-spon- The auto industry has been the whipping boy in recent years by those concerned about highway safety, but some solid statistics indicate that badly marked highways and road conditions share the blame for the high traffic toll. In spite of the great emphasis on auto safety features for the past four years by the auto industry and billions paid by motorists, the traffic toll last year 0 climbed to a record high of and the toll may be even higher this year. This has promptel many highway experts to focus their attention on faulty highway conditions. Fred Rehm, general manager of the Auto Club of Michi56,-00- gan, is emphatic in his feelings about dangerous road conditions. He recently told a House subcommittee in Washington that if only five per cent of the money spent on pouring concrete for highways was devoted to improving road signs, direction and traffic control, accidents would decrease dramatically. He said it would save more lives on highways than all the safety items prescribed for the autos. Present guidance controls : signs, signals, pavement markings and road shoulder hazards are causing an untold number of accidents, because drivers are not able to determine what they should do under high speed conditions," he said. Backing up Rehms contention are the results of countless tests which show the safety value of reflectorized highway signs, plates and highway strip hi-cen- se Reflectorized highway directions are visible at far greater distance and permit longer periods in which to make safe driving decisions. Tests have proven also that reflectorized license plates make vehicles visible at greater distances and permit greater judgment by the motorist as to the distance between his vehicle and the one head. They also reduce tail gating." Reflectorized clothing also has been hailed as a remarkable ing.' safety, precaution for pedestrians. Rehm noted that nearly 2,400 persons were killed on Michiagn 90 percent highways in 1968 of which happened on type roads," and he thinks the national pattern is the same. He said that how many persons who die because of inadequate roadside communications may never be known because accidents occur on two lane country roads where no one has witnessed them. They are referred to as mystery crashes." Rehm said Michigan had the total of 576 fatal accidents in 1968, the cause of which was attributed vaguely as ran off the non-freew- ay road. He said, It appears that it is easier to report that the driver failed, rather than blame it on the road.

SOME FUN! Association and the American Dental Association. It would provide $100 million for grants to be made by the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. To qualify, schools would have to be affirmatively respond to national health policy and be in dire financial distress. The funds would be used to enable such schools to continue certain services, functions, programs and activities which are in the national interest. What especially appeals to me in this bill is that it calls for a plan by each medical or dental school so aided showing how it proposes to continue and to expand admissions and training. We are faced by a tremendous shortage of doctors and dentists, especially in our rural areas. The only way we are going to get medical people to stay in the smaller communities is by increasing the number of doctors and dentists available. This bill will do that, and I will work for its passage," he said. Utahn is Selected v Chiropractor of Year The Chiropractor of the Year Award was made to Dr. Robert B.

Sour cream is only 30 calories per tablespoon whereas salad oil is 125, salad dressing 65, french dressing 60, and whipped cream 55. Sour (which is still lower fat) is only 22 calories per tablespoon. What about yogurt which steadily increases in popularity? Well, it can be used similarly to sour cream as a topping or a dip. And if you stick to plain yogurt, rather than the flavored kind, you' can save even more calories per cup. Plain yogurt made from partially skim milk (read your labels) is 112 calories per cup. Yogurt made with whole milk is 140 calories per cup. half-and-h- alf |
