This automatically keeps you out of the cookie and presugared cereal department. It keeps you from buying fruits and vegetables that are packed in sugar water. You must watch your salad dressings, ketchup and bread intake (bread is 10 per cent sugar) . In short, you will strive for high protein and hign (unsaturated) fat intake. The whole point is to reduce your use of carbohydrates, starch and sugar. Spend more time with the butcher and less with the baker. Once a proper diet is established, Dr. Fredericks suggests that in place of nibbling, as many as six meals a day be eaten. Fill the tank more frequently and the engine will run more smoothly, he says. I myself now eat six meals a day and the results have been extraordinary in terms of increased well being, resistance to fatigue and abilit yto withstand pressure of work. Three meals should include at least a quarter of a pound of protein food: meat, fish, fowl, cheese, eggs, etc. The intervening meals should include at least an ounce of a protein food and 8 ounces of citrus fruit juices should be consumed during the day. 89-9- Time to Drive Defensively Drive defensively even if, or particularly if, the driver is young. This advice, stated over the years, remains sensible, according to the annual booklet of highway accident statistics published by Travelers Insurance Company. One fifth of the drivers in America today are less d than 25 years of age, but they are involved in of all fatal accidents. Defensive driving is difficult because a driver is so often unable to identify irresponsible kids (or drinkers or seniles) in time to avoid them. The driver must assume that no one else is responsible and alert. In 1969, more than 56,000 deaths were recorded on the countrys highways. The number of injured topped 4,700,000. Both figures were the highest in history. As in past years, excessive speed was the chief cause of deaths and injuries. High speed, however, is not necessarily the big killer. Driving too fast for conditions is lethal, too. Ten miles an hour can be too fast on glare ice or in a peasoup fog. Actually, the annual survey shows, more fatal accidents occur in clear, dry weather. Poor driving conditions make the driver more alert to whats ahead or around him. Only 1.8 per cent of last years auto fatalities occurred in fog, only 2.1 percent in snow. The answer to the highway problem lies in more and betetr driver education, tighter lawTs and law one-thir- Aspirin and Arthritis In experiments on rats, two pharmacologists have reported that aspirin, used in conjunction with another drug in the treatment of arthritis, can reduce the effectiveness of that drug. Doctors C. G. Van Arman and George W.

Preparation of the investigation began in January 1964 by the authors Eugene Callaghan and Alan Pratt. Sanpete County is strategically located in southern Utah, between the national parks and Salt Lake City. Recreational activities in the area are discussed and the possible future potential of recreation as an industry. Factors studied include environmental conditions as they would affect new people and new agricultural and industrial ventures. Facts investigated about the soil and geologic features, climate, availability of water, industrial minerals useful to the contractor, road builders, chemical and salt companies, petroleum exploration and mining firms are given. The bullentin includes outstanding illustrations on stratigraphy, geologic structures, carbonate rock and location of dimension stone quarries, decorative use of limestone in the facade of the Sanpete County Courthouse, gravel and borrow pit locations, as well as localities of coal, lignite and metallic minerals; oil and gas drilling exploration, outline of oil shale lands and several aerial photos. Also included are tables showing population, status and categories of the land and means of livelihood in the county, statistics concerning water resources, analyses of geologic rock data and several other pertinent facts. A comprehensive- geologic map of Sanpete county is also part of the bulletin.

Twain. Senator Frank E. Moss said Monday that the national interest requires increased production of minerals and fuels coupled with the "protection and the enhancement of our environment. Moss, chairman of the. Senate Interior Committtee on Minerals Materials and Fuels, addressed the annual membership luncheon on the America Mining Congress in Washington. The Senator said the mining industry should lead the movement to meet the "demands of a vast majority of Americans for an end to pollution of our water, pollution of our air and the despoliation of our lands. He said that many segments of the industry have taken "giant steps to combat pollution and to restore land despoiled by surface mining. He said some have not, however, and pointed to recent complaints of forest destruction by mining operations in Montana. Senator Moss also expressed concern at the trend in government toward placing veto power over natural resource development in agencies that have no developmental responsibilities. "I think we should begin to question giving authority to negate development programs to agencies that have no responsibility for affirmative action for getting the job done such as increasing the discovery and production of new sources of minerals so gravely needed by our country. Moss also discussed the legislative accomplishments of the 91st Congress in the mining field, and told his audience some of the matters he expects to be considered by the subcommittee he heads after the new Congress meets on Jan. 21. the LEASED GRAPEVINE Utahs newest member of Congress, Rep. Gunn McKay, this week voted for fellow westerner Rep. Morris Udall for the Democratic majority leader post. The job went to Rep. Carl Albert of Oklahoma. Rep. McKay said he had supported Rep. Udall as a westerner who understood Utahs problems and as a personal friend. First year revenues for the Salt Palace should reach $100,-00- 0 to $125,000, Manager Earl L. Duryea reported this week at the civic auditorium board meeting. Mr. Duryea said state and lo- cal taxes paid during the year totaled $94,883. Gross ticket sales were $2,257,000. He said Palace facilities were used 1,097 use days and that persons attended events held there during the 12 month period. City commissioners agreed this week that Phase 2 of the new master plan for Salt Lake International Airport should proceed immediately, parallel to a citizens study. The city contracted last year' with Arnold Thompson Associ-ates, San Francisco and New. York consultants on airports, toJ develop the new plan. The firm completed the first phase last November. 1 Salt Lake Valley Innkeepers Association this week issued a resolution opposing the one-ha- lf cent local option sales tax being proposed by city and county interests in the Legislature .

These findings are merely a warning they said. But the implications of the entire study are that one should be extremely wary in clinical practice to suspect unfavorable interactions among drugs. One should take nothing for granted, they said. They also noted that, in addition to aspirin, other drugs which are useful when use alone, have been known to interact in a similar fashion. 860 Where thousands of listeners enjoy concert music and news every day! ' advisory committee i Salt Lake County commissioners this week approved either establishing a traffic engineer department in cooperation with Salt Lake City or establishing die county's own department. Ralph Y. McClure, commissioner over finance, said he felt the question of whether the engineers department should be set up with Salt Lake City or by the county has waited long enough for an answer and requested that Commission Chairman William E. Dunn go ahead and set up the department. Mr. Dunn said that a meeting with city officials will be held soon. . n t Robert R.
