Show ' Page Eight FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1971 - Moss to Introduce Legislation To Increase Hazard Awareness i Frank E. Moss, Senator has declared his intention of introducing legislation to increase public awareness of the health warning on cigarettes and the tar and nicotine content of all brands. Moss said his bill will require use of .the health warning which now- appears on cigarette packages in all advertisements and on vending machines; and it will require packages, and advertisements to carry a statement of tar and nicotine levels. Inclusion of the health warning and tar and nicotine content wherever cigarettes are sold or advertised is the next logical step in providing our citizens with the essential information on these Moss dangerous;, substances, said. , In the past six years, Congress has enacted many bills to information make important D-Ut- ah, - . Remember Stutz Bearcat and Cord? Way back in 1927 one of the hottest cars on the road, many of them unpaved, was the Stutz, either the Bearcat of automotive folklore or the Blackhawk,not as well known. They were the creations of the late Harry C. Stutz. Today, a group of New Yorkers has revived the Stutz. One can buy. a 1970 Stutz, no relation to the old car, for $22,000. Others models will be higher, and one will be a ceremonial car selling for $75,000. Five years ago another group tried to revive and market the beloved Cord of 1937 vintage and a group also tried to bring back the famous Dutsenberg in 1966. Both efforts ended in fail- ure. The new Stutz uses a Pontiac Chassis, a GM engine and body made in Italy. Some 30 of the $22,000 models have reportedly been ordered.

Dianes Day available to consumers. No information is more significant than that involving possible hazards to health, he said. Moss noted that several cigarette brands already carry and advertise tar and nicotine levels. Doubtless this practice indicates a trend toward the development of less hazardous cigarettes, and the movement should be encouraged by requiring all brands to publish such information, Moss said. Also, the Senator praised the tobacco and broadcasting industries for recent statements in which they pledged compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the Cigarette Labelling Act under which cigarette commercials have been taken off television and radio. Famous Utah Structure Bows to New Palace The famed Salt Lake Mormon Tabernacle for a century has been the largest, most notable auditorium in Utah due to its acoustical clarity and its worldwide reputation as being home for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Now the complete structure would virtually fit on the arena floor and under the roof of then ew Salt Palace Utahs newest convention and sports complex. The architectural design of the two buildings is a contrasting study in structures of two entirely different eras. The focal point of the Tabernacle is its historic, grand organ patterned elipti-cagainst the arch of the long, high ceiling.

It offers facilities for a seemingly limitless number of indoor activities, such as conventions, exhibits, trade shows, banquets and stage shows, as well as ice skating, rodeos, horse shows, circuses, dances, theater and other events. In addition, more than 30 meeting rooms and offices are included in the design. There is a total of approximately 200,000 square feet of exhibit space throughout the complex. The Salt Palace is named after an illustrious predecessor, which was built in 1899 when salt was a major industry in the state. It burned down in 1910, but not without a memorable career during which many of the entertainment and cultural greats of the day performed under its glistenfacade. ing, The modem day Salt Palace already has a variety of events booked which will bring some of the nations most renowned personalities across its threshold. slow-sweepin- al g y salt-encrust- ed County Attorney from page 1) powers that Madsen had according to his determinations was that he should act as the secretary for the board.

Talking is a part of life. It is the cheapest, fastest form of communication. There are many ways we can enhance our talk . . . modulating our voice, building our vocabulary, learning the art of good conversation.

Her busy teacher doesnt have time to sit down with her and work on the problem because shes not the only one who needs that help. So the teacher arranges for the child to help a second-gradwho is having much more trouble with addition and subtraction. Almost miraculously the sixth grader learns all of the combinations that have been troubling her for so long. Meanwhile the second-gradis learntoo close under this kind of ing In is enaddition he supervision. with the other joying working child. An experimental project which systematicaly involves students in teaching other students is now underway in eight Weber County School District schools. The office of the Utah State Board of Education has alloted $10,000 for the project. The funds come from House Bill 9 special funds set aside by the Utah State Legislature for experimental projects for the improvement of education. Dr. Spencer Wyatt, Director of Research, Weber School District, is enthusiastic about the project. Teachers tell me that it is the finest thing that has ever happened to their classrooms as far as individualizing their teaching. They say they could never begin to help each child as thoroughly as they are being helped under the tutoring system, he enthused. Kids can communicate with a younger student better than teachers could ever hope to, he er er says.

They counsel their young teachers on how to handle problems and they meet with a group of tutors once a week to discuss difficulties. Dr. Wyatt says that students are very good at explaining how they themselves learned. We get some unusual techniques, but the students seem to love it. Of course weve had a few problems, Dr. Wyatt admits. If tutors are too far ahead of their young charges, they soon get bored. We have to be sure to keep just the right gap between the two, he said. The programs funds are used to compensate teachers and administrators for additional hours of work necessary, for tests and other materials. Glue Sniffing Mice Used to Learn What Causes Death Some 110 young people have died suddenly after inhaling air- plane glue vapors, aerosol propellants, and the fumes of certain organic solvents. Although the fatal mechanism is unknown, the suddenness of the deaths and the absence of significant findings at autopsy pointed to fatal alterations in the rhythm of the heartbeat as the immediate cause of death. To test this possibility, cardiologists George J. Taylor and Willard S. Harris of the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago, studied the effects of mice in and reported their find- -' ings in Science. Anaesthetized mice were hooked up to electrocardiographs and breathed airplane glue fumes from a large plastic bag coated with commercial glues. Control mice, also anaesthetized, breathed room air from a plastic bag. inhalation of During a glue fumes, the heart rate slowed noticeably and the interval between P and R heart waves increased. These changes were absent in the ECG pattern of the control mice. Moreover, partial heart block developed in mice that had been sniffing glue, and progressed to complete heart block and death in one group of mice. Substituting the organic solvent toluene for glue evoked similar responses. Because human victims of glue or solvent inhalation usually die suddenly and away from medical facilities, electrocardi ograms showing their cardiac rhythms, just before and at the time of' death have not been made. Taylor and Harris point out that their results obtained with mice may not be directly applicable to humans, but if they are, they suggest that slowing of the heart rate or heart block should be considered as possible mechanisms leading to sudden death when humans sniff glue or solvents. Prompt resuscitative measures, such as external cardiac massage h and respiration, may be particularly helpful in reviving victims of acute inhalation of solvents by eliminating the volatile fumes and relieving the asphyxia. Susceptible people, such as those with leukemia or other diseases of cardiac pacemaking or impulse conducting tissue, may suffer sudden death from exposure to high concentrations of such substances as. toluene in the atmosphere. electro-cardio-graph- glue-sniffin- ic gs 10-min- ute mouth-to-mout- unin-tension- al |
