Earl R. Bartholomew, business Research on Cancer (Continued from page 1) replication and other problems in the growth and regulation of cells. His wife, Dr. Cynthia Lark of the U. of U. College of Medicine, also has an ACS grant to support her re- search into replication. Cancer cells are just normal cells that have stopped being properly regulated and run amok. The replication process goes crazy. The first step to cure this is to find out what regulates normal cells so that they keep in step with others all serving special functions. If we can find out what regulates the cell material, we can then figure out how to control it when something goes wrong This wont be easy and is a long term project made up of details almost incomprehensible to the average Utah man in the street. Cancer Society sponsored research such as The role of Methylation in DNA replication, or Replication and segregation in bacteria eukaroyes is difficult to comprehend, but it is vital in adding to the basic knowledge of science. More and more scientists are turning to this approach as offering the best hope for an answer to the problem of cancer. Dr. Lark paid tribute to the Cancer Society for its support of this unglamorous but necessary type of research, just at a time when the federal government had withdrawn much of its support. On a national basis, the American Cancer Society is expected to award $24.1 million this fiscal year, but some 200 other worthy research projects requiring $10 million were unable to be funded. National Newspaper Week Communication is the life blood of a community, and it is most appropriate that America set aside a special week to honor the nation s newspapers and the men and women who produce them. The printed word is a powerful instrument of progress. As we celebrate National Newspaper Week we take stock of the benefits of a strong newspaper tradition brings to the nation, to its individual communities, and to each one of us as a citizen and also of the continuing importance of journalistic integrity. We reaffirm our belief in the fundamental freedom of the press as well as in the awesome responsibility it carries. A potent force in the history of our nation since the very beginning, newspapers continue to grow with our society. The cliallenges they face and the demands that are placed upon them have increased along with the complexities of modern living. As we look ahead to America's third century we salute our newspapers in the hope that they will continue to write proud new chapters in the great and unique tradition of American press freedom.

Salt Lake County Commissioners have given approval for the development of a mini-par- k on the north side of Indiana Ave. Mr. Blair Sorensen, sanitation engineer, pointed out that the parks are now ready to demonstrate in one small neighborhood how the Jordan River may be improved and beautified. He said the sites would be developed immediately with no cost to the city or county. He explained that the development cost will be borne by Model Cities and the Utah National Guard will contribute manpower and equipment. Incorporation of the Town of Cottonwood was turned down by the County Commissioners Dunn and McClure. The town, with a reporetd population of 153, was presented to the Commissioners at their Monday meeting. The petitions voted down carried 57 electors signatures. Commissioner Blonquist abstained from voting. He explained his actions by saying there may be a Mandamus action to come one hopes of compelling the commission to grant incorporation of the new town. Midvale will not have a pri- mary election. With only five candidates filing for office and an opinion from the city attorney the city council voted against holding the primary elections. There are three council positions up for election and only two candidates will be eliminaed in the general election. Three home construction programs under the vocational education program were approved by the Granite Board of Education. In one project students will construct a home on Olympus High School property which can be moved to the 1972 Utah Home Builders Parade of Homes and sold. Students from Olympus and Cottonwood high school will participate. A request by Salt Lake County Commissioner Phil Blonquist a that grand jury be convened to investigate the activities in the Salt Lake City Mayors office and the Salt Lake County Attorneys office was ruled not advisable at this time by Third District Judge Stewart Hanson. At a district judges' meeting, Judge Hanson said he discussed Mr. Blonquists request with the other judges, who concluded the convening of the grand jury is not appropriate at this time. Secretary of State Clyde Miller asked the Attorney Generals office to clarify an apparent conflict in Utah law and in the State Constitution which set differing standards for residency for voters. The problem is because under a possible interpretation of Utah law a person could move into a city just 11 days before a municipal election and be eligible to vote in that election. The conflict in the state constitution states that persons must reside in the state six months and in the county 60 days.
