Show FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1971 THE SALT LAKE TIMES People All Over World Complain Of Back Trouble Oh, my aching back! How often have you heard someone say that? Or say it yourself? Backache is such a common ailment among civilized man that there are very few adults who havent had a touch of it now and then. Some physicians credit soft beds, soft chairs and other comforts of modern civilization with an increase in the number of persons who suffer from low back pain. Once called' lumbago, back pain is often caused by poor pos- ture, obesity, ill fitting or inappropriate shoes, a sedantary life, over strenuous work, or participating in sports. It may also be due to disease nor directly relating to the back or to an injury or strain. Low back pain may occur at any age but it seems to both middle aged persons most. It occurs in both sexes and in all races and is more common with peoples who do work that involves stooping or lifting. Good posture of the entire body is important in preventing low back pain. Sit with the head and trunk erect. When standing, the spine should be straight. Not the military ram rod posture, but straight. A soft, saggy bed and low, soft chairs contribute to backache. Chairs, ideally, should be firm, straight and have the contour of a normal back. A low heeled shoe is best for standing or walking. High heels tend to throw the posture off balance and increase strain on the lower back. Loafers, ballet slippers and sneakers also may lead to backache if worn extensively. In lifting heavy objects keep the back straight and lift with the knees and thigh muscles instead of bendingover and straining the spine. Like many other ailments, the backache may be aggravated by emotional tension or anxiety. Treatment of backache varies with the cause. When it is due to strain, usually rest, heat or a pain reliever will help. Massage, used in moderation, may help relieve discomfort. Your doctor may also recommend exercise to strengthen the muscles of the back and to improve pos- ture. Member Appointed To Fish-Gam- e Board Pag Nina Moss Joins Bills Pertaining to Coal Depletion Senator Frank E. Moss joined of two bills which pertain to coal depletion rate, coal gasification and oil shale conversion. The principal sponsor of both bills is Senator Clifford Hansen of Wyoming. One bill (S. 1309) would increase the depiction rate for coal and the other (S. 1310) will provide for more rapid amortization of coal gasification and and oil shale conversion plants. Senator Moss, who is chairman of the Senate Subcommit-efor Minerals, Materials and Tuels, said he agrees with Sen. Hansen that technological means must be devised to make use of existing and largely untapped, sources of energy. He said that the Senate Public Works Committee has estimated that U. S. energy consumption will increase 41.5 per cent from 1968 to 1980 and 171 percent by he year 2000. About three fourths of the nations total fossil fuel reserve is coal, but coal supplies only about 21 per cent of fuel consumption. I twill require large amounts of capital for advanced technology to use our coal and oil shale resources. S. 1309 would increase the present depletion rate of coal from 10 to 15 percent. At present coal has the lowest depletion of any major energy source. This tax incentive will help increase the development of our coal reas a co-spon- e Roy L.
