Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES Square Dance Convention Will Attract Over 15,000 Dancers Upwards of 15,000 friendly Square dancers are expected in Salt Lake City beginning June 28 for the 22nd National Square Dance Convention at the Salt Palace, the first time the event has been held in Utah. It will be the largest convention in the history of the state. But then its not a convention in the usual sense of long dry meetings and tasteless banquets and little parties that are not so dry. In fact its a statistical truth that most square dancers do not drink, they havent the time, because they will be here to dance. For those who can take the pace dancing will begin at midmorning each of the three days and continue until midnight, in every danceable sized room in the Salt Palace. If that is not enough then there will be trail end parties the night preceding and after parties before its all over. The square dance world has various interest groups that will be doing their thing with contra dancing, round dancing, youth dancing, solo dancing, challenge dancing and more, but most of the dancers will catch a little bit of the whole scene. Exhibition groups from all the nation, including Utahs Ribbons and Spurs will perform during breaks in the Main Arena and in the Exhibition Hall. For the more academic mind ed the three days will be sprinkled with panel discussions by experts, where dance leaders can compare notes on how to solve problems common to all, such as how to find new members, etc. Detailed workshops will also be offered on the subject of square dance calling, a job that is a lot harder than it looks. Speaking of callers the best in the country will be there and the variety will be endless, at the incredible pace of five minutes per caller in each of the halls. Except for a few of the parties the dancing will be within the Salt Palace and Utah dancers are justly proud of their hall, because some conventions have had to be scattered over all a city, just to find space. But dancers are tourists too, and one of the activities on tap will be a youth hike to Timpano-go- s Cave in the American Fork Canyon the morning of the 29th. And if you dont dance? A buck will get you in to see what its all about and you just might decide to give it a try with any of Utahs active clubs. The chamelo Johnstoni looks like a tiny dragon with its fearsome triple horns. This strange creature lives in the Ruwenzori Mountains in Africa. The natives of the region refuse to kill this animal because they believe his death will bring bad luck. . Rep.

Congresswoman Julia Butler air, motorists can avoid frustramix with Hansen from Washington State, who is chairman of the House Interior Subcommittee on Appropriations, after many conversations with her, has agreed to write into the language of her report a direction to the Forest Service to assist in the payment for the construction of a road between Boulder and Grover and over into Garfield County, said Owens. When completed the road will link the four parks in south eastern Utah and will be a great help to lumbermen and tourists development in that area. We still have to get it past the Senate but it looks very good to getting some help out of the Forest Service to build that very critical road, he said. Explorers Club Winners Named Three Utah students are among 44 gifted young Americans se- lected to take part in this summers Exploration Scholarship program. The three Utah recipients are Steven Arches, Salt Lake City; Deanne Gurr, Orem and Alan Spencer, American Fork. Archer, who is interested in cybor-nete- s, will do research in the Yukon. Ms. Gurr will take part in archeological work in Israel and Spencer will work at an archeological dig in Nevada. The program, now a year old, is jointly sponsored, by. the U.S. Office of Education, Educational Expeditions International, the Explorers Club and Robert Sterling Clark Foundation. Under the program, gifted young Americans are given the opportunity to spend one to 8 weeks during the summer with leading scientists and researchers in the fields relating from the marine sciences to astronomy. Those selected for the program will study at research sites in this country or overseas, depending on the field of study selected by the recipient. - SPEED MACHINES?

One of the most persistent problems in tire care and safety is underinflation, says the Tire UnIndustry Safety Council. derinflation causes an excessive built in of heat in a tire and heat is its worst enemy. The Council notes this problem is very evident during the summer months when families are taking longer trips and vehicles are often overloaded. One strong recommendation of the Council is fo!r motorists driving long distances at the prolonged speeds to inflate their tires four pounds per square inch above the auto manufacturers recommended inflation levels found in the owners manual, but never to exceed the maximum level found on the sidewall. The Council also offers these summer driving tips: 1. Make sure your tires have in. not worn to less than in any two or more adjacent tread depth grooves. Replace immediately if they have worn to this danger point. 2. Examine your tires for any cuts, bulges or knots. Should you find any remove the tire and have it examined by an expert. 3. Remove any foreign matter which may have become trapped in the tread grooves . bleed your tires if . 4.

The Council also notes that underinflation can add a strain on the cars motor as there is more road resistance, cutting down on potential gas mileage. A good way to realize greater gas mileage, tire life and increased safety is to slow down. All drivers should realize the cost factor, both for economics and safety, is greatly increased for the car going at 70 compared to one traveling at 50 mph. Aflation should always be checked when a tire is cool, or before starting out on a trip. It is also advisable to check the pressure with an individual hand gauge as service station air towers are often inaccurate. Make a mental note of how much additional pressure each tire needs, and add air at the local service station. The need for proper inflation was dramatically pointed out by researchers. Their surveys found that underinflation from 4 to 12 psi cuts tire life from 10 to 40 per cent. The Council estimates that even a tread loss of 5 per cent could be costing American consumers as much as $250 million annually. The Council also points out that in addition to increasing tre life, proper inflation can mean better traction and braking and easier steering. Doctor in the Kitchen by Laurence M.

To dissolve the salt tablet in his body it takes more water from his blood. And before the water can get back into his blood stream hes lost still more water perspiring. So its a useless procedure. Just have him drink a lot of water instead. The salt that a person needs, he can get with his regular food. There is no diet that will prevent arthritis, or cure it. But good nutrition is an important factor in the successful treatment of arthritis. You need protein, calcium and other minerals and vitamins all provided by foods in the four food groups. Dietary advice for people with arthritis should come from thlir physicians, not hearsay. A LA CARTE keep company with protein, calcium, riboflavin and significant amounts of many other nutrients. The calories in meat and eggs keep company chiefly with protein, iron, and thiamine. Beside providing energy, carbo- hydrates add enjoyment to our meals because of the flavors they offer. The sweetness of sugar makes many foods more palatable-The- n there are foods that are sweetened by their own sugars. For example, young peas and com and other vegetables are sweeter tasting than older, riper plant foods that contain little sugar. Is fat essential in your diet? The answer is Yes- - Some fat is necessary for good nutrition. Some fats provide vitamins A, D, E, and K, and some are important as sources of essential fatty acids. Fat is a concentrated source of calories. The fats you use tor energy will save other nutrients such as protein for body building and repair. Dont be afraid of an occasional snack for your child. If food hes eating provides essential nutrients, itll be all right In fact, young children can become too hungry from one meal to the next, and overtired, so they become irritable and unable to eat well when regular mealtime rolls By eating a good breakfast youll find it easier to control weight. Youll be less tempted to fill up with poorly chosen snacks (the kind that are high in calories, but low in the nutrients you need). Breakfast skippers often end up with more calorics for the day than do breakfast caters". A good point for everyone to keep in mind is to choose calories by the company they keep. The calorics in milk, for example, around. jnid-momin- g pre-scho- ol |
