Show FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Poge Eight Meteorological Stud Shows No Emission from Electric Stations v Four Corners and San Juan were considered as a single source for the purposes of the study. The research was aimed at describing the meteorology and possible air movement or exchange between these several power plants during stagnation periods, or when there are restricted or limited dispersion conditions. The report restricted its attention to only the Four Corners plant, the Mohave in southern Nevada, both of which are operating, the San Juan, the Navajo in northern Arizona, and the Huntington plant in eastern Utah, all under construction. The proposed Kaiparowitz plant in southern Utah was not included in the study. The researchers combined the meteorological and air quality data acquired over several years of study by each consulting group into a coherent picture of the meteorology of the Colorado Drainage Basin. They coupled information with the terrain features and out of this effort came the concept of individual air sheds. This was based on combined arguments of local winds, terrain effects and professional judgment. The report pointed out that during a 23 day stagnation period in early 1968 the area was actually ventilated three times. It said studies have indicated no large area air pollution build up under extended periods of stagnation, due to the environments pollutant removal Economic Stabilization car dealer. Can I comply with Price Commission posting requirements by posting the sticker price of cars sold during the base period? Q. I am a new A. No. You must post your ac- tual sales prices during the base period. The actual price for a new car may be considerably less than the sticker price and may vary from dealer to dealer. Q. I know that raw agricultu- ral products are exempt from price controls, but how do you know what is considered to be a raw agricultural product? A. Agricultural products that retain their original physical form and have not been processed are exempt from price controls. Processed agricultural products, namely, those which have been canned, frozen, milled or otherwise changed in their physical form, are not exempt. Packaging is not considered a processing activity. Thus, while fresh potatoes, packaged or not, are exempt from controls, frozen french fries are not; while live cattle are exempt, steak cuts arc not. Q. Do firms who are required to prenotify or report the price increases have any protection of trade secrets that might be revealed to the Price Commission? A. Yes. Under recent amendments to the Economic Stabilization Act such information is considered confidential. It may be disclosed only to other Stabilization personnel for the purpose ELEC. ORGAN BUY.

Wildlife Society-W- orld Organization animals of the world have a champion in the Wildlife Society, according to Dr. Jess Low, president of the Utah chapter. The society is a professionally oriented association with members in more than 60 countries. Low said the Wildlife Society is dedicated to the sound management and preservation of the wildlife. Its objective is to develop and promote sound stewardship of wildlife resources and of the environments upon which wildlife and man depend. The society takes an active role in preventing man induced environmental degradation. Membership in the society is composed of wildlife resource administrators, educators, information and law enforcement specialists, managers and research scientists. Its purposes are to serve through chapter, national and international meetings. The Utah Chapter of the Wildlife Society is growing with a present membership of 96 resource people. The chapter meets Feb. 25 in its annual conference in Salt Lake City. Wild THE SALT LAKE TIMES 4 Dimes Day : Results oi a meteorological study by one of the worlds leading weather firms indicate there will be no significant interaction of smokestack emissions from a network of electric generating stations in the southwest, a western power planning association reported this week. Some critics of the plants have said the emissions from each will combine to create one massive pollution problem over the entire region, which covers 70,000 sq. miles. The study by Dames & Moore, the North American Weather Consultants, challenge such claims, according to WEST Associates, an association of 23 western utilities. The consulting firm was assisted by University of Utah scientists, Dr. Clyde Hill and Dr. Robert G. Larsen and by Loren W. Crow, a consulting meteorologist. The study is one of many being funded by electric utilities sponsoring the plants to assure that proper steps are taken to prevent any significant degradation of the air quality. A major conclusion of the study is that the atmosphere in the region does not represent a single air shed, but a series of separate air sheds and that there will likely be little significant interaction between sheds during stagnant periods. As the report stated: On the basis of an air shed concept it is concluded that there is no significant interaction of power plant effluents between the gross air sheds. Two plants in northern New Mexico, the 25, 1972 BY DIANE WEILENMANN THE MAGIC OF MANAUS Manaus is the largest city in the interior, located in the north west, near the junction of the Negro and Amazon rivers. The population of Manaus (muh-NOU- S) is 89,612. It is one of the most important island cities of Brazil, and the capital of the state of Amazonas. Manaus lies on the river Negro 10 miles from the mouth of the Negro and Amazon Rivers. It is 1,000 miles from the mouth of the Amazon river but can be reached by the ocean liners. The city serves as the trading center forthe area around the Amazon basin. Trading in products of the Amazon forests hardwoods, brazil nuts, and rubber. Its opera house was built during the rubber boom in the early 1900's. We flew 3 hours over the from jungle Georgetown, Guiana. The last hour was spent flying over black water with clumps of trees and foliage dotting the horizon. Occasionally, you could see signs of human life, boats, smoke, a shack, but very seldom. We sat with our noses pressed against the windows of the small craft, breathless to see this famous, once wealthy city. At long last we landed on an oasis of land, midst a huge rainstorm, in Manaus. We settled in our hotel, turned on the water to wash our faces, and had cool, or colder running mud. We and brushed our teeth in faces in bottled washed our water (about 20c a bottle) and set out to see the city. At one time Manaus was the richest city in South America, booming from the rubber plantations along the Amazon River. They built a fancy opera house. People still come from all over the world to see the many hand painted murals lining all of the interior walls. The pillars are imported marble. When a ship sank with tons of marble on baord coming up the river, they just ordered more. There are pink, white, grey, brown, and a soft nile green marble, topped off with white. The furniture in the promenade is all French antique in soft rose and gold. The chandeliers are heavy imported crystal, in short, it is heavenly. Today, maintained in immaculate condition, the citizens are so proud of it, and they treat it with the care due a piece of valuable art. Manaus has a huge duty free port, where you can purchase hand made linens from Red China, imported watches for $15, elegant china, lovely laces, alpaca cloth or a hand knitted dress for $10, mens short arc tailored for $8.99. In Manaus you sense what Kansas City was like 100 years ago: the jumping off place for the great frontier. Here you can still take a river boat up into the wilds, hunt strange game, see wild Indians (unless they see you first), and see voodoo in action with witch doctors and all the trimmings. Probably the most exciting city left in the world for the real man, and the ideal trip for a father and son guaranteed to stir their blood.

The President's China Trip Will Correct 1946 'Wrong Turn' In a statement prepared for release on the eve of the Presidents departure for Peoples Republic of China, Senator Frank E. Moss, Secretary of the Senate Democratic Conference said: As President Nixon leaves on his historic trip to Mainland China, I wish him well. I applaud his initiative in arranging the we should have opened visit up dialogue long ago. I have stated many times in as early as 1959 the past that I felt this country could not go on ignoring Mainland China as though it were not located on the same small globe as we are. No one should or can ignore alalmost 800 million people most a fourth of the worlds population. What they are doing and thinking directly affects us, whether we like it or not. We must live with them, just as we D-Ut- tread depth, place a Lincoln penny between the grooves. If you can see the top in Lincolns head, the tire is worn too thin. Kai-she- k. Solitary Sessions Provide Strong Indication Drinker Has Problem The disease of alcoholism has been called the most neglected public health problem facing the nation today. It is a killer illness that is attained in most cases through progression over a period of years. It is neglected because of ignorance. Most victims fight against admitting they are alcoholics. often do not recognize identifying signs of the progression. Too many citizens do not know that the alcoholic can be helped if aid is asked soon enough. In an effort to help victims or their friends, family or employers determine if a drinking problem exists, the Salt Lake Times is publishing a series of articles of which this is one. The most recent discussion pinpointed such warnings during the stage as black-outdrinks, sneaking wet before parties, drinking gulping and avoidance of talk about drinking problems. Other signs, furnished by the Utah Al6 coholism Foundation phone or the Utah State Division of Alcoholism and Drugs phone Non-suffere- rs pre-alcoholi- sm s, 487-327- 328-546- To check for safe ah, must live with all other nations and people on this globe. We took a wrong turn back in 1946 when we decided to work At only with Chiang that time, we were led to believe that Mainland China could not last that there would soon be only one China, and this would be under the Generalissimo. This information was wrong. We made a mistake. We have continued to hold on to what was a mistaken policy for almost thirty years. It is time we took another look at our policy. The visit of the President to China allows us to do so. The process of change is slow but his visit is a beginI ning. . hope with all of my heart that the China trip is the initiation of discussions which will help us to achieve peace in Vietnam, and eventually to move toward peaceful development throughout the world. 8. Solitary drinking is a It focuses on the person who goes into seclusion (hotel, flophouse or his own home) where he can remain undisturbed in a state of intoxication for days or sometimes weeks. Hiding out to drink is the first drastic and dramatic example cf the isolation urge. It will be repeated many times with rapidly increasing frequency. These lonely sessions fail always to provide the comfort and self-consolen- ce the drinker thought he would find. He comes back to family, friends and embarrassed and ashamed. Others now have guessed his secret and the solitary binge has settled no problems. He had expected to escape into a world of euphoria where lifes problems cannot penetrate. Each attempt at finding such bliss is futile and painfully unrewarding. Yet, he continues to go back in search of that something, his hopes always new and fresh. This is but another manifestation of the tightening grip which alcohol is exerting upon him. But to the drinker in the prealcoholic stage he has a long way to go in the horrors of solitary guzzling. As the song said, you aint seen nothing yet. By the acute stage this kind of boozing potent indicator and occurs when drinking no longer is a social function for an individual. This does not cover the abuser of alcohol who frequents bars alone. is insufferable. co-work- ers |
