State Health Agencies Chart Immunization Da April 2 11-1- about every health organization in Utah will participate in a gigantic statewide immunization campaign April 11 and 12 to eradicate the German measles, also known as rubella. Slogan for the campaign will be Save a Child in 70, but actually the campaign is now designed to save many lives. Unless this program is successful an estimated 200 children in Utah will suffer agonizing birth defects over the next year or two, according to state health just leaders. With a successful campaign, these tragedies will be averted. This is the goal of the campaign and the reason we are asking and urging every citizens of the state to become aware and then take a part in the program, said Dr. Paul R. Ensign, new Director of the Utah Division of Public Health. Dr. Ensign, along with Dr. Stanley R. Child, representing the Utah State Medical Association, and Dr. G. D. Carlyle Thompson, who is retiring as Director of the Utah Division of Health, are chairmen of the campaign. Doctors, nurses, pharamacists, parents and children will all work together as volunteers in this great health crusade, the third in recent years. In 1963 the Kayo Polio campaign was staged with tremendous public support. Not a single case of polio has been reported in Utah since that time. In 1967 the Muzzle Measles campaign was conducted with great public support and the number of reported cases of measles dropped from the high of 4490 in 1965 down to just 11 cases last year. As a result of an epidemic of German Measles, rubella, in 1964-6there are 83 children today in Utah institutions suffering from serious physical and mental defects. More than 100 more are being cared for at their homes. German Measles has followed a regular and predictable cycle of five or six years. If this expected pattern continues, another epidemic can be expected in 1970 or 1971. If the epidemic does strike, it is inevitable that another 200 children will suffer from birth defects unless something is done. y 5, Dr. Child pointed out that it is now possible to do something about it. A new vaccine, ap- proved within the last six months is available which will provide expected permanent protection from the disease for children. By eliminating the disease at the root, the possibility of in-fect- pregnant mothers is ig elimi- nated and the problem of birth defects resulting from the disease is solved. Can you think of any more wonderful accomplishment than to save 200 children and their families from the heartaches of birth defects? We think this is a program which everyone in the state will eagerly and enthusiastically support. We need everyones help. To reach the safety goal, the medical leaders want to be sure that at least 250,000 children between the ages of 1 and 12 receive the new vaccnie. If we can do that well have the battle won, reported Dr. Child. Moss Joins Muskie In Sponsoring Anti-polluti- on Bills Senator Frank E. Moss of Utah said he has joined as a of two bills introduced by Senator Edmund Muskie of Maine for pollution control, said the bills would be considered at hearings in the near future. One bill is the Air Quality Improvemen tAct, which would extend and increase the authorizations of the Clear Air Act which expires June 30. This bill authorizes the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to require emission controls for aircraft, vessels, and other moving sources of air pollution, Senator Moss said. It also broadens existing provisions regarding auto emissions controls and establishes an Office of Noise Pollution Abatement in the Department of HEW. The second bill is the Resource Recovery Act which is aimed at replacing the Solid Waste Disposal Act which expires June 30. This bill provides authorizations for community disposal facilities and emphasizes the need to recover, recycle and reuse valuable resources which are presently burned, buried and wasted. co-spon- sor solid waste, no-lim- For their third regional tour derwrites the Rexburg appearof the current season Maurice ance.

The cash for cans program will begin in Colorado immediately. It will be extended to include Utah soon. Of the plan, brewery President William K. Coors said, Aluminum is the best possible answer to litter because it is salvageable. Tin cans have no practical salvege value, but aluminum cans do. Salvaged aluminum containers can be melted down and the aluminum recovered and used over and over again. This is, in effect, the recycling of a natural resource, aluminum. Its perfect for Americas fight against solid waste disposal. In the 11 state area in which the program will operate, company officials say, there are aluminum containers marketed each year to be worth some $5 million to civic organizations and individuals who round up aluminum at the 10 cents per pound price set by Coors. The dime a pound deal pertains not only to Coors cans but to all aluminum cans as well. Through its network of 185 distributors in western United States, Coors will work cooperatively with civic and service organizations who make aluminum a club project. Within the next few weeks, company officials said, Coors will have literature, heavy duty collection bags and other aids for civic clubs which plan aluminum campaigns in their minimize it Page Five Congressmen Lloyd, Wold Call For Federal Shale Leasing Policy An effort to produce new initiatives by the federal government in the research and development of oil shale technology has been undertaken by two western Congressmen. Acting on the momentum provided by a survey of leading American energy companies on the questoin of an oil shale program, Congressmen Sherman P. Lloyd of Utah and John Wold of Wyoming have asked Interior Secretary Walter Hickel to consider at this time the development of an oil shale leasing policy on the public domain. They assert active interest on the part of many energy companies. Congressmen Wold and Lloyd base their appeal on respenses to an unpublicized inquiry early this year of over 150 energy companies. The Congressmen asked whether your company might be interested in participating in some sort of oil shale program in the event of the Department of Interior would offer parcels of oil shale on an acceptable basis. In their letter to Hickel the Congressmen report having received replies from some 75 companies. The responses indicated significant continuing interest in an offering which would enable research and development of oil from shale. Lloyd and Wold wrote Hickel: We fully realize that this is a politcally sensitive resource. It has regional economic implications, particularly for the Rocky Mountains. In spite of this we cannot sit still. Our concern is that a policy be adopted which line of national welfare and security. Wold and Lloyd represent the states having large deposits of oil shale principally on federal lands. Geologists have estimated they could contain as much as two trillion barrels of recoverable oil. No economically feasible method of extracting oil from shale has been developed to date. The Congresmen point to the diminishing known domestic oil reserves in asserting that the future security of the country as well as the need for encouraging private development of competitive energy sources- requires that some sort of a leasing policy be developed. The next few months would appear to be none to soon for the development of such a policy. In the decade ahead it is anticipated that the Free Worlds energy needs will rise by an average of 6 per cent a year. Almost all (85 per cent) of the yearly increase will be met by petroleum, with the result that by 1980 the FreeWorlds use of oil will be close to double today levels of consumption and will supply some 57 per cent of all energy requirements. - The Congressmen noted that the demand for oil from shale is tied to the domestic price of This latter is of crude oil. course controlled by a number of factors, including imports and the total competitive energy picture.
