This fact came to light in a special National Electrical week message issued by Dr. Robert W. Head of Salt Lake City, past president of the Utah Optometric Association and a national committee member of the American Optometric Assn. The theme of this years observance is electricity is for the people. The need for more light is a direct result of changes in the eye due to aging. Although the changes are nothing to be overly concerned about, they do require some alterations in habits, he said. The Salt Lake City optometrist advised older people to increase the amount of available light in the room for all tasks, whether reading, cooking, or whatever. He also pointed out that the older eye functions more comfortably under incandescent lights than under the fluorescent lights. The older driver should use greater caution when on a road at night, particularly if the road is poorly lighted. The fact that the aging person eneds more light poses a special concern for architects designing institutional facilities for those more elderly. The need for more lighting and the preference for incandescent lights must also be taken into consideration. The doctor noted that highway designers should work to provide better highway and street lighting. Whatever the age and whatever the task, good lighting is essential to everyone students, their parents and grandparents. Good lighting contributes to our enjoyment of all tasks involving the use of our eyes, he said. cities emergency crime areas.

Moss of Utah and Senator Vance Hartke of Indiana introduced the Truth in Food Labeling Act to provide additional information for food shoppers. Moss, chairman of the Senate Consumer Subcommittee, commented upon introducing this legislation. Too often the consumer does not know what he is getting at the supermarket. There are numerous problems associated with the absence of ingredient labeling, the lack of grading, unintelligible date codes and a host of other secrets put the consumer at the mercy of the attractive packaging and persuasive advertising. The Truth in Food Labeling Act would be a major step towards providing the consumer with the information he needs in order to make an intelligent choice in the supermarket. The Truth in Food Labeling Act would amend the 1966 Fair Packaging and Labeling Act by providing for several notable features in food labeling. Moss said, The bill would call for the mandatory quality grading of food products using a system of uniform nomenclature. Secondly, the bill woudl require the disclosure on the package of all ingredients. Third, we provide for the nutritional labeling of food products according to a uniform national system to be established by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and the National Academy of Sciences. Fourth, the bill would require open dating of perishable and foods, and lastly we provide for the identity of the food manufacturer on the product label. It is my firm hope that the consumer would be able to couple the information provided by this legislation with the significant voluntary efforts directed towards unit pricing in order to make the most intelligent selection of food products. semi-perishab- le SHINES UP BRIGHT IN MINUTES LASTS UP TO A WEEK GRIFFIN WAX SHOE POLISH THE SALT LAKE TIMES Environmental Agency Seizes Product Linked in Eagle Deaths E.

This was the case. with Globe Brand thallium sulphate, manufactured by American Smelting and Refining Co., of Denver, Colo. Since farmers and ranchers were using it for pest control its registration was suspended. Other manufacturers are still producing thallium sulphate, but under its registered uses, such as pest control by governmental agencies and for some industrial manufacturing purposes. When Globe Brands registration was suspended, American Smelting and Refining recalled as much of the material as they were able to locate through their shipping records. The amount held by Etchepare was missed in the recall, but has been stored since the suspension. It is now up to a federal court to dispose of the material.
