He speaks of the Antelope Valley which, in the not too distant future, may become the site of a super airport serving the Los Angeles metropolitan area. He recognizes there is a need for progress and for places to live as the population continues to expand. Maybe an airport must be built to serve the future needs of Los Angeles, but as this editor so aptly puts it, Until tha time, lets drink a toast to the dusty roads, to the lazy lizards to sagebrush and the Joshua tree, to clear old-tim- er blue skies, to the days that have more substance than can ever be filled with rush and roar a toast to the days that had tranquility, bom of nature. This editors remarks raise the ultimate question, how long can the population continue to soar on our finite earth before all of the Antelope Valleys and even the memories of them are obliteraetd? We must address ourselves to this question. The Magic of Discovery There are millions of people alive today who owe .

More than 25 specialists will present papers and participate in panel discussions of the various aspects of prevention. Because of epilepsy's complex nature, the specialists will represent a variety of disciplines including neurology, medicine, research, psychiatry and vocation training. Epilepsy, is a neurological disorder which affects about 12 million Americans four million who have it and their estimated eight million friends and family members. It is characterized by convulsive seizures caused by sudden storms of electrical activity in the brain. About half of all cases can be completely controlled with medication.

The last session deals with Medical and Social Community Involvement in Prevention, and concerns prevalence cf epilepsy and standards of care, mental retardation, and epilepsy and emotional factors in treatment of children.

The work to be shown here, valued at over $100,000 contains prints by old masters and modern master artists such as Albrecht Durer, Jacques Callot, Georges Roualt and Pablo Picasso.

All works to be dis- their existence to the timely appearance of a livesaving drug 10, 15 or 20 years ago. These are literally the offspring of the age of miracle drugs. For example, a few years ago, pneumonia was a killer. Those lucky enough to survive could face the prospect of long hospital stays and lengthy periods of convalescence. Suddenly a drug appeared that removed the mortal threat of pneumonia. Youngsters of today know little more of pneumonia than they do polio these are the babies of the drug revolution. Today, they have nothing to worry about from the killers of yesterday. Few are worrying about tomorrow since they have little awareness of past medical accomplishment or the prerequisites of future medical progress. As an advertisement of the U.S. prescription drug industry points out, Its tomorrow that holds the terror, and thats what we consider our business: to be ready for a of tomorrows tomorrow. The ad tells of the time, talent, equipment help guarantee timely appearance and some $600 million a year that the prescription drug ing drugs. industry is devoting to research and development. While we hear the politicians bemoaning the cost of prescription drugs, it is well to remember that the average prescription still costs only a little over $4. This price is lower than it was 10 years ago relative to the quantityof medication. Another point made by the drug industrys ad is that, one of the interesting things that goes into the making of medicine defies all analysis. It is the stuff that breakthroughs are made of.

If they buy it the state will lose many acres of choice land in the Utah areas which it could have developed into one of the finest state parks.
